Pepsi Challenge but for fascism. Ask candidates seeking office if they think a person identified as part of Group X should legally be allowed to [play sports][get married][ask a doctor for treatment][join the military].

If they say "I need to know what X is to answer," they are a fascist.

I'm reminded of the story of Nobel laureate George de Hevesy (one of the Real Ones, Chemistry, not Peace) who used aqua regia to dissolve two medals that had been sent to him for safekeeping rather than risk Nazis looting them.

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

NOEM: “We can’t trust the government anymore.”
BASH: “You are the government.”
NOEM: “Yes, that’s what I’m saying.”🤔

soldiers are mostly young people who want to do something else with most of their life. They generally don't want to live the rest of their lives with the knowledge that they executed an unarmed mom

cops want to spend thirty years with the nickname "killer"
Civilians in combat zones become combatants in combat zones when you murder their family.

Committing a faux pas and being confronted in a way I hadn't previously mentally rehearsed, and in a panic throwing a trash can through a storefront to trigger the alarm.

Kinda sucks how one day you’ll post stuff like “does the Grinch use the toilet?” and then the next it has to be “I reject those who worship death”

I've revisited "Northern Exposure" many times since the 90s, mostly for the needle drops. And the C-plot about two 40+ year old men beefing over the affections of a teenage runaway never gets any easier to stomach.

Brainstorming names for an intellectually insular, too online death cult of philosophy amateurs:

* Normal Ones
* Saniacs
* Considered Opinionates
* Beliebers
* Reply Gentlemen

Started playing "Diplomacy Is Not An Option". It's like a single-player Blizzard RTS from before the WoW money-machine ruined them.

A group of parents will have received an incident notice about two men attempting to force their way into the daycare where their children are kept, likely with exhortations to be extra careful in the coming days/weeks.
uhhh yeah I can see why these childcare properties weren't eager to let in some rando dudes asking "where are the kids?"

Watching a movie without knowing LaKeith Stanfield is in it and seeing LaKeith Stanfield.
a man in a yellow shirt is sitting in a chair holding a cup and pointing
Alt: Leonardo Dicaprio watching tv. He abruptly sits up, points at the screen, and (presumably) says "Oh shit! It's Darius!"

It's hard for me to see this as more than the perennial reminder that Trump doesn't know anything about dogs, how people feel about them, or how they are used in similes (or metaphors, but I don't think he uses metaphors. Not interested in examples).
Trump says the people who “thought Epstein was the greatest guy on earth, only to drop him like a dog when things got too HOT” are “sleazebags.”

Trump is criticizing people who…stopped hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein?

i think if a director wants to make a movie longer than 120 min they should have to get permission via national referendum

I know I am fully a dad because I only want to refer to The Grinch as "the Grunch". It's literally all I can think about.

I poured my child a bowl of The Grunch cereal this morning and then went and cried in the shower.

It used to be that the United States would use Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty to transmit truth across the borders of repressive regimes.

Now the work of American reporters, having been censored, is being smuggled across the border to reach Americans.
The 60 Minutes piece on the Trump Administration’s torture prison that Bari Weiss doesn’t want you to see has leaked.
