President Donald Trump suggested that the United States is preparing to take new action against alleged drug trafficking networks in Venezuela, telling service members during a Thanksgiving call that efforts for strikes on land will be starting "very soon." https://cnn.it/487SPPL

New level of middle-aged lib crankdom unlocked. I sent a message to the NPR Public Editor to complain about their hosts linking the DC guardsmen shooting to how residents are feeling about the deployment with zero evidence or context. Premature! Irresponsible! Shitty!

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

I spent a long time as a manager at B&N, and it took maybe 2 people asking for a book we didn’t have within a couple days that would trigger me to stock it. It doesn’t take much!
I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

We want to believe that Oswald didn’t act alone in killing Kennedy for the same reason that people want to think that COVID was a lab leak - we don’t want to believe that random chance can change the world like that, because we want to believe that humanity is in control of the world in some way

“Choosing”? “Career”?

Inertia, blundering mostly.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

the takeaway from the Zohran Trump meeting is that Trump is a gullible fool who will temporarily bend to the last charismatic person he talked to.

Zohran played him perfectly but that doesn’t mean Trump is good now. He’ll go back to fascism tomorrow morning after he talks to Stephen Miller

Why would I get dressed up like this is the Pan Am to Tahiti in 1956 to show up 3 hours early, get treated like a terrorist by TSA, get charged fees left and right, get gouged by vendors, and then have my flight delayed or cancelled with no recourse or recompense 1/2
Trump's Transportation Secretary posts new video on his plans to improve air travel:

'Let's bring civility and manners back. Are you dressing with respect? Are you saying please and thank you in general? The golden age of travel begins with you.'

This is unironically what I want. Eat shit, Fairfield and Litchfield Counties! Your billionaire governor already made them water this down, just admit you don’t want ThOsE people living in your ugly, expensive towns.

His entire wealth is supported by a self-driving fraud that has killed tens of Americans, on top of countless other crimes.

He is the face of the elite impunity that is destroying this country.

His freedom is one of the most important political issues of our time.
Again, it is unbelievable that this man is permitted to walk free after causing the deaths of potentially millions of people. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/u...

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon
