Fuck the @democrats.org for being such idiots and cowards. What a profound betrayal of their principles, their voters, and the American people. You will get the voter turnout you deserve.
New York Times update: 7 minutes ago Michael Gold Reporting from the Capitol The Senate is still voting, but at this point, enough members of the Democratic caucus have voted with Republicans to allow this spending deal to reopen the government to move ahead if nobody changes their vote and if the remaining senators vote according to party lines.

Or, if you're going to do that, why not just have the government give the money directly to medical providers? There's way fewer. You could just have the people go to the doctor and cut the big bad insurance companies out altogether! That would really show Obama you're the better president!
Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump on his stupid bespoke Twitter + I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over. In other words, take from the BIG, BAD Insurance Companies, give it to the people, and terminate, per Dollar spent, the worst Healthcare anywhere in the World, ObamaCare. Unrelated, we must still terminate the Filibuster! 11/8/25, 8:04 AM

Highlighted for your reading torture.
Occupy Democrats post on Facebook that's obviously ChatGPT. Pointing out the "that's not X, it's Y" construction that ChatGPT constantly uses. This is at best a fictionalizing of something that might have happened, but I wouldn't surprised if that page isn't run by Russian operatives. ... Comey: "This indictment is invalid - the prosecutor wasn't legally appointed." Bondi: "Nuh-uh, I just decided to go back in time and fix It. Checkmate." This is what happens when an administration runs the Justice Department like a Mar-a-Lago cabana bar tab — sloppy, rushed, and held together with vibes and Sharpie law. Bondi literally filed an order saying she's retroactively blessing Lindsey Halligan's authority as of September, just to cover for the fact that Halligan apparently had no legal authority when she brought the indictment. Imagine getting pulled over without a driver's license and shouting, "No worries, officer, I'll print one tonight - retroactive to birth!" This isn't law. It's legal cosplay. And let's be clear: this whole saga started because a previous U.S. attorney refused to indict Comey, so Bondi swapped in someone more loyal to the MAGA mission. When even career prosecutors won't go along, you know it's not justice - it's vengeance. But here's the delicious twist: Comey is playing chess while Bondi is playing time-travel Uno with crayons. If this slapdash "fix-it-later" stunt collapses in court - and wow does it look shaky - it could blow up the indictment spectacularly. This is what you get when an administration tries to weaponize the DOJ while forgetting one tiny detail: due process still exists.

Sad that Reductress isn’t here. So I’m doing the heavy lifting.
Screenshot of a Reductress Facebook post. The caption reads, ‘It’s not how they would have done it.’ Below, there’s a headline that says, ‘Establishment Democrats Just Not Sure if Mamdani Went About Decisive, Crushing Victory the Right Way.’ The image shows a smiling Mamdani with short dark hair and a beard, wearing a green jacket and red tie, standing outdoors with a blurred cityscape in the background.

The times are because I'm in Sweden. Subtract six hours to get to Eastern Time
A data graphic labeled “VA Attorney General Election Pulse.” It states that 95 percent of votes are counted, last updated on November 4 at 8:08 PM EST. The top chart, titled “Chance to Win,” shows two candidates’ win probabilities over time on November 5. The red line stays above 50 percent early on, then sharply drops below 50 percent after 1:30 AM, ending near 20 percent. The blue line remains below early, then rises steeply above 75 percent and settles around 80 percent. Small circular portraits represent each candidate: a man in a red frame next to “19.9%,” and a man in a blue frame next to “80.1%.” The bottom chart, titled “Projected Vote Share,” shows the red candidate around 49.1 percent and the blue candidate around 50.9 percent, with shaded uncertainty bands. Both lines hover near 50 percent, then converge and slightly diverge again near the end of the timeline. A note below says “Read our methodology.”

In a piece about John Dickerson leaving CBS, I stumbled across this gem. And all I can think of is that this is the exact same conservative playbook. Scream about how an institution is broken, start breaking it, and then point at its brokenness to justify your attempts to break it more. You wanna /1

I'm going to be honest. Even as an English speaker living in Sweden for a very long time, this is still fucking hilarious to me.

I always felt this front page of the newspaper when the Swedish women were eliminated a few years ago was unnecessarily harsh. It's just a game, people.
A football player in a red Örgryte IS jersey celebrates with their arms outstretched in front of a cheering crowd. The large Swedish text above them says "SLUT UPP! TILL SLUTSPURT," which to the English reader reads as "Slut up! Till slut spurt," but in Swedish means “Join in! for the final push.” Below are the ÖIS and VSK team logos and the text “Friday 24/10 19:00.” A tense football moment shows Sweden’s women’s national team defending against Germany. A German player in red leaps to head the ball while Swedish players in yellow — including one jumping to block and the goalkeeper reaching up — struggle to stop her. The large Swedish word "SLUT" appears at the top, meaning "End"/"Finished" or "Full time," signaling Sweden’s elimination after losing 1–2. To English speakers, the placement of "SLUT" above the Swedish player going for the header looks accidentally insulting.

If this doesn't summarize the Zeitgeist, what even could?
My most recent post, where I'm retweeting a thread about militarizing drug cartels as a consequence of bad South America policy followed by a joke account called Endless Screaming, which is letting out a blood curdling scream.

Absolutely vile.
Breaking news from the New York Times app. "President Trump is said to be demanding $230 million from the Justice Department for investigating him, posing potential ethical conflicts."

I've been thinking about this nonstop since I retweeted it and it's absolutely true. Every innovative edge case created by the internet is now just funneling money to the rich while being enshittified.

This is it. Tech ruins everything eventually. It makes the old bad look good.
Jamie McKelvie @mckelvie.bsky.social The main achievement of the tech industry has been increasing the flow of money from people who make or do things to people who already have more money than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes

This is also true of Thatcher
A meme-style line graph titled "Every Graph About the US." The horizontal axis is labeled "Some metric." Two lines are shown: a green line labeled "Good thing" and a red line labeled "Bad thing." Both lines remain flat until a vertical dashed line labeled "Ronald Reagan." After this point, the green line (good thing) sharply declines, while the red line (bad thing) sharply rises, accurately suggesting that most negative trends in U.S. data began with Reagan’s presidency.

Meme collage with four images of famous actors looking stressed or overwhelmed, captioned "staying informed in 2025." Top left: a crying Scarlett Johansson. Top right: Tom Hiddleston sitting pensively with his hand on his chin, multiple faded overlays showing him in the same position. Bottom left: Oscar Isaac looking disheveled and holding a coffee cup, staring blankly. Bottom right: Matthew McConaughey wide-eyed and taking a frantic drag of a cigarette while looking at his phone. The meme suggests that keeping up with news in 2025 is exhausting and emotionally draining.

Yeah they're assholes and they benefit from having a propaganda arm that will just repeat their talking points, so they hardly take flak.

But also: did you see this? Like, Trump doesn't know and is being lied to.
Chuck Schumer tells reporters at White House that Trump seemed completely oblivious to impending increase in health insurance rates and closing of rural hospitals: "By his face and by the way he looked, I think he heard about them for the first time."

Por ejemplo. Is this... winning? I guess so...
KGW8- BREAKING NEWS In response to apparent surge of federal law enforcement... Trump referenced a weekend conversation with Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, and he alluded to being told by Kotek that the reality in Portland is different from what's being portrayed to him. "I spoke to the governor, she was very nice," Trump said. "But I said, 'Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.! They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place...it looks like terrible."

You see this, post a concert pic you took.
Insomnium performing live in Stockholm in 2017 during the Winter’s Gate tour. The stage is lit with dramatic red and white lights, with the band members headbanging mid-song. The crowd in the foreground is fully engaged, with some fans raising their hands in metal horns and others filming the performance. The band’s name is faintly visible on the backdrop behind the drum kit.

No new pictures, where are you at mentally?
An image macro featuring a wooden bowl full of pitted green olives. The text reads: "Off work late? Hungry, but too tired to cook? Try 30 to 40 olives. 30 to 40 olives: an easy weeknight dinner. Eat them directly out of the jar with your fingers. You will certainly not regret eating 30 to 40 olives."

Lol. But Undercover Brother was downright popular with critics.
Screenshot of the Rotten Tomatoes page for the movie Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo. The page shows a scene from the film with Rob Schneider in costume, wearing suspenders and a hat. The title, rating, and release date are displayed: R, released Dec 10, 1999, runtime 1 hour 28 minutes, comedy. The Tomatometer score is 23% based on 74 reviews, and the audience Popcornmeter score is 42% based on 250,000+ ratings. A short description of the film begins with: ‘Deuce Bigalow (Rob Schneider) is a less than attractive, down on his luck aquarium clean…’.

Spotify sux
A four-panel clown makeup meme satirizing Spotify. Panel 1: A man applies white clown makeup. Text: “create a streaming service based on piracy.” Panel 2: He adds colorful eye makeup. Text: “pay artists poverty wages for 20 years.” Panel 3: He puts on a rainbow wig. Text: “invest in AI drone technology, create Perfect Fit Content (a secret exploitation model), refuse to protect real artists against AI, increase Daniel Ek’s net worth to billions.” Panel 4: Fully dressed as a clown with red nose and wig. Text: “we now have lossless audio. why is everyone mad at us.” The meme criticizes Spotify’s business practices, contrasting minor technical upgrades with ongoing exploitation of artists.

The opening was good too.
There is no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign, and refusing to join in doesn't make anyone a bad person. It's a choice to write an obituary that begins "Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children."

I always thought the Department of Homeland Security was creepy when it was created and it is now doing the thing that it always sounded like it created to do.
A screenshot of two tweets from the Homeland Security Twitter account (@DHSGov). The first tweet says, “Remember who you are, American.” The second tweet, directly below it, says, “Report Foreign Invaders: 866-DHS-2-ICE.” Both tweets display the U.S. Department of Homeland Security seal next to the account name. The style is typical of Twitter, with reply, retweet, like, and view counts visible.
