Yep.
Yep, the Supreme Court really is just a House of Lords—a purely political branch with bizarre veto power, wielded capriciously and without accountability. Time for massive reform.

Yikes. To what fucking end are all these entities in the pocket of fucking “industry” for?! What the actual fuck are we doing here in this country? Why are so many of us so fucking stupid as to reduce ourselves to a point where these fucking people are in power… in a representative democracy?!

Oh my god, he’s going to start a fucking war. His psyche is so fucked up. He actually wants to start a war. He thinks he needs it. Like a fucking tyrant. Oh my god. 😳🤦🏾♂️☹️😔

We seem to forget that the Civil Rights Movement wasn’t just marches and Kumbaya. It was boycotts and the creation of economic hardship. Now is a great time to remember that spirit.

Joints are sore
Blood pressure high
Pudding, flan

None are safe

“Where has all the leadership gone?” - Michael Eisner
Seriously. The people in power who are allowing our moronic president to run roughshod over norms and even laws and doing nothing about it are an embarrassment. Be a leader, or get the hell out of there and let someone who can.

This was only going to end one way. Disney is a shark. Nexstar and Sinclair are sardines in a can.
Broadcast-media companies may be growing, but they still couldn’t afford to reject Jimmy Kimmel forever, James Surowiecki argues.

Creating liquidity by taking out loans backed by the value of the shares you own in a company to then buy shares of that company with that cash, which in turn causes the market to inflate the value of all of your shares of that company, is some late-stage capitalism shenanigans.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

Big sigh. Watch this.
Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting?
No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

This normalization of abhorrent behavior shows up repeatedly throughout American history.
One thing the media's reticence to label Kirk an extremist has made jarringly clear is how scared they are of the people in power now who share his extremist beliefs.
In the space of nine months, they have internalized a fear of condemning racism, misogyny, homophobia and antisemiticism.
