JD Vance is the final boss stage of "we went to an Ohio diner to once again center the feelings of white men" that the NYTimes had been selling us for decades

“the system means complete impunity for the people in charge” is interpreted as “the system is irrevocably broken” to a lot of people and to some of those people have solutions to that problem other than the ones intended by the people in charge remember that unions were the compromise

very careful in my phrasing here because i do not want to be misinterpreted, but conservatives in the judicial system bear a large deal of the responsibility for the average person believing that trump will never be held accountable through the system and must be held accountable by other means.

When I was 12 I went to Danny DeVito’s New Year’s Eve party. I’d found some girls my age, but wanted my little sister to have fun, too. Then I saw this woman on the dance floor squat down to my sister’s height, say “Hi, what’s your name? I’m Shannen!” and take her by the hand to dance with her.

What they mean is that the "temperature" is raised whenever people say accurate things about Republican candidates and their policies. It is everyone's civic duty to repeat Republican falsehoods.

Seen a lot of comments like “hey Americans who support democracy, oppose political violence, and value truth, we have to take the temperature down,” and while well-intentioned, I don’t think it’ll work, because they’re not the ones raising the temperature.

Senate Dems should take one of their assorted gun control bills off the shelf, rename it something like "Trump Assassination Prevention Act," and force Rs to do a talking filibuster to block it

Just a reminder: it’s good to oppose assassinations. But you are under absolutely no obligation to treat Trumpists and Trump-apologists as people who are honest, or acting in good faith, when they purport to condemn political violence or violent rhetoric. They’re not sincere.

the best part of project 2025 is how every day a new plank comes out that's like "we want to ban hot showers, they are simply too erotic"

God I hate Instagram so much. “You should start making reels or else nobody will see your posts.” “You should make everybody join a Channel so people actually see your posts.” HOW ABOUT I ALREADY POST THERE AND THE PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW ME SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE MY POSTS.

Declaring people to be vermin, enemies of the state, or un-human is the sort of language people adopt before they pursue a genocide.

“We will hold investigations to identify the neo-cultural Marxists in seats of power all across Washington,” Posobiec said. “We don’t negotiate with un-humans. Because that’s the stakes of this battle: humanity versus un-humanity.” inthesetimes.com/article/nati...

also to be absolutely clear: all of this would be bad even if "porn" meant "strictly sexual content". There is no secular argument for censorship of sexy stuff, and you know the Project 2025 assflaps will use this to target vulnerable people, not exploitative companies.

important to note that "porn" often includes: 1. non-sexual references to queer/trans identity 2. non-sexual nudity in visual art and photography 3. music, particularly Black music (e.g. Tipper Gore's attack on Prince after hearing "Darling Nikki") 4. dancing of various sorts

You shouldn't even have to screenshot it. Right next to every DM (in any social media platform) there should be a button labeled: "Make this DM public for all". Even Signal should have this. It'll make it super clear that your privacy is maintained only by the consent of the receiver.

Keep in mind when reading this story: "I relied upon the software to do my taxes for me and it calculated them incorrectly" is not automatically a defense to an IRS investigation and you will be liable for any penalties... unless you pay for TurboTax's "audit protection" service

It’s so cool when game creators branch out into other media. For example, the creators of Myst designed the shower controls in this AirBnB.

i always find it extremely funny when articles convert abstract values of money. like someone will be quoted saying £5 to mean a small amount of money or a million euros to mean a large amount of money and then there'll be a parenthetical with ($6. 41) or ($1,082,390) and i will always laugh.

I just innovated the phrase "piss desert" to refer to large stretches of highly developed urban core where there are no unlocked, free-to-use bathrooms.

haven't updated chrome in a while. love to see that they are cramming the godawful UI update down everyone's throats. the modern UI trend of adding as much wasted space as physically possible makes me want to commit actionable threats.

I don't know if the people writing this crap understand this or not, but they should: "fetal personhood" as a concept mandates treating pregnancy termination and pregnancy loss (under whatever circumstances prosecutors want to define it) as homicide
