I would actually encourage people to read this thread because it’s hilarious how McKay snottily replies to everyone who disagrees with him until they show exactly how he’s wrong and then he scurries away

We HAVE to leave the Dem Party behind right NOW.

They’re utterly corrupt, will never fight for us, fix damage done, or bring criminal charges against high powered/wealthy ppl including Trump.

I’ve suggested flooding the Green Party and pumping it with life. But if there’s a better idea let’s go.

I just had a fucking Snowpiercer situation trying to drop my kids off at school in DC where the roads and sidewalks are barely plowed so the Bowser administration can fuck right off with this “guidance”
 DC transportation telling people not to walk in the road if the sidewalk isn’t plowed

Not a controversial take here but @radleybalko.bsky.social is a rock-solid, fearless reporter who has been covering these issues since George Bush was president. Great guest.

Happy 3 year anniversary to this post
We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing "the" labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college-educated.

Breaking NBC:

Family members of two Trinidadian men who were killed in a U.S. boat strike in October have sued the U.S. government — accusing it of wrongful death and extrajudicial killings.

The lawsuit is the first of its kind to be filed against the Trump admin.

Almost done with Banshee and it’s doing what breaking bad did, introducing a ton of neo Nazis in the final season just so we can watch them get fucking obliterated. And I am so here for it.

Don’t think we can give enough credit to Steven Spielberg for creating an entire series based on melting, shooting, crushing, decapitating, punching, and incinerating Nazis

We need someone to run their newspaper like a mad yellow journalist until he becomes obsessed with making his girlfriend a singer only to anonymously write the scathing review of her performance in his own paper

In absolute earnest: The least bad model for funding journalism at the moment seems to be dynastic wastrels running the family paper out of noblesse oblige as their only real business interest. File with liberal democracy and capitalism under the heading "Worst System Except for All the Others."

I wrote my undergrad thesis on Dahl and while I largely hate him and most things he stood for he was at least smart enough (and distrustful of authority enough) to get this

One last thing: If you decide that your book about a little boy who gets Roald Dahl-style revenge on all the stupid adults is actually a series about how that boy's royal lineage helps him save the world, that is actually *a problem to solve for.* Ursula Le Guin understood that, JKR did not.

We made another game! A Jackpot of Skulls is a slot machine godlike, packaged alongside two other wonderful, absurdly dense games. All this beauty stuffed into a couple megabytes in your pocket, for free

❤️💀🐈‍⬛
cover art for our game A JACKPOT OF SKULLS, featuring a slot machine placed on a barren sundered land. Surrounding it is a cat romancing a sword, an ominous skull, a puddle with moss growing from it, and a yellow bird perched on top, watching the sun rise behind the machine.

Ye, fka Kanye West, takes out a full-page in the Wall Street Journal to apologize to the Black community, and for antisemitism:

“I lost touch with reality”
Twenty-five years ago, I was in a car accident that broke my jaw and caused injury to the right frontal lobe of my brain. At the time, the focus was on the visible damage - the fracture, the swelling, and the immediate physical trauma. The deeper injury, the one inside my skull, went unnoticed. Comprehensive scans were not done, neurological exams were limited, and the possibility of a frontal-lobe injury was never raised. It wasn't properly diagnosed until 2023. That medical oversight caused serious damage to my mental health and led to my bipolar type-l diagnosis. Bipolar disorder comes with its own defense system. Denial. When you're manic, you don't think you're sick. You think everyone else is overreacting. You feel like you're seeing the world more clearly than ever, when in reality you're losing your grip entirely. Once people label you as 'crazy', you feel as if you cannot contribute anything meaningful to the world. It's easy for people to joke and laugh it off when in fact this is a very serious debilitating disease you can die from. According to the World Health Organization and Cambridge University, people with bipolar disorder have a life expectancy that is shortened by ten to fifteen years on average, and a 2x-3x higher all-cause mortality rate than the general population. This is on par with severe heart disease, type-1 diabetes, HIV, and cancer-all lethal and fatal if left untreated. The scariest thing about this disorder is how persuasive it is when it tells you: You don't need help. It makes you blind, but convinced you have insight. You feel powerful, certain, and unstoppable. I lost touch with reality. Things got worse the longer I ignored the problem. I said and did things I deeply regret. Some of the people I love the most, I treated the worst. You endured fear, confusion, humiliation, and the exhaustion of trying to love someone who was at times, unrecognizable. Looking back, I became detached from my true self. In that fractured state. I gra…
