the nuzzi story is fun and all but at the center of it is the elevation of a man who has dedicated his life to making children catch preventable diseases to a position where he can enact harm at enormous scale
CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

I hate this sort of meme.
“The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.”
Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?

I am hearing that on his deathbed Andrew Cuomo received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

People will scoff at virtue signaling and then wonder why today’s billionaires don’t build museums, libraries, hospitals, and universities like Gilded Age ones did.

I feel lots of things that felt like, were billed as, self-actualization read in retrospect as canaries in the coal mine for the fraying commitments we owe to each other as members of a society.
Relatedly, I recall a lot of "the joy of canceling plans" jokes and memes from the 2010s and now folks are talking about a loneliness epidemic, and, well...

It’s just example # 486 of “reasonable nuanced critique of liberalism gets flattened to meaninglessness through a game of telephone”. Cogent critiques of aspects of respectability politics get turned into “it makes you a brave revolutionary to be the biggest asshole possible to everyone”
note that since mid-2010s you can always get a standing ovation in blue social media by denouncing the idea of civility or politeness more broadly. the experiment in how this has worked out keeps on yielding predictably unpleasant results

If you look at the sheer insanity of what government officials and agencies openly post on XShitter, it becomes abundantly obvious how much the press is complicit. If Dems did even a fraction of this poasting it would be saturated in news coverage.
More propaganda with painfully normal people zip-tied at the side of the road please, this will for sure convince the American people that you're the good guys

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win
everything is on fire these days, sure, but how is it that 50% of all news stories are not about how I just spent $20 on a bag of store brand coffee at fucking costco

This genuinely was the line you heard out of the Weird Twitter/Dimes Square Expanded Universe about Jan 6th. It was insane. Student debt was a 4-alarm fire but an armed attack on the Capitol was just a bunch of rednecks getting a little rowdy
I think if it took you to October 5th, 2025 to realize that maybe this 1/6/21 business was maybe a big deal I think you shouldn't be allowed to comment on politics

Terry Moran timidly tried to point out to donald trump that Kilmar Abrego Garcia didn’t literally have “MS-13” tattooed on his knuckles and ABC fired him
I challenge the media to show pictures of Portland. Go to a store with glass. That's all you have to do
They can't do it because it would offend Deal Leader

The example I always use is that governments everywhere have just accepted the massive rise in phone scams as something that can't be helped, but demand we trust them with micromanaging the country's demographics
Important point - announcements about "crackdowns" and "bans" are a way to try and convince people the state has power when it increasingly fails at basic tasks.
And the state is growing less and less effective at the same time. One relatively trivial example is fly-tipping. There are steep fines for it and rewards for those who turn in offenders. But the problem grows worse and worse in many places.
