The easiest of layups.

Kind of impressive that being a 9/11 truther might not even be one of RFK's top five political problems after this week thehill.com/homenews/cam...

RFK Jr.: ‘I won’t take sides on 9/11’thehill.com Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Friday he “won’t take sides” on the subject of the truth of the 9/11 attacks but would push for transparency if elected president.&nbsp…

If you read this alongside the "don't vote" op-ed from yesterday it's easy to see that the broader political project has a certain coherence. Appealing to the self-identified intellectuals in the Times one day and using physical intimidation down south the next. Malignant, but coherent.

NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech. "Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!" Video and story here: newrepublic.com/article/1834...

MAGA Gov Candidate’s Ugly, Hateful Rant: “Some Folks Need Killing!”newrepublic.com Mark Robinson, the GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, has a long history of incendiary comments. But he may have topped himself this time.

The Welsh are relentless

There is a 7 foot tall guy behind Rishi Sunak who likely ran for office just to be able to hold a printed out L behind him during his concession speech.

I try not to be too conspiracy-brained, but it's really easy to draw a line from this freak telling the left-center normies not to vote all the way back to the hollowed-out volcano of the fedsoc HQ. Seems almost naive to believe anything else.

Reposting before I go to bed because the 4th represents the best of what we aspire to.

okay yes, but what about:

bluey > pawpatrol

Pretty weird that the only significant black character in the Paw Patrol Mighty Movie is the villain.

this is brilliant. going to try this and also maybe soaking the wood chips in apple juice or maybe applesauce

my spray bottle labelled “apple juice” is raising a lot of questions already answered by the bottle

Others have pointed this out but Zuck obviously doesn't understand Born in the USA.

I hate this so much.

For the good of journalism, the New York Times should step down.

Many wealthy Democratic donors are trying to pressure President Biden to abandon his re-election campaign and help lay the groundwork for an alternate candidate.

Major Democratic Donors Devise Plans to Pressure Biden to Step Asidewww.nytimes.com The president appears intent on remaining on the ballot, while wealthy donors are discussing plans to put their money elsewhere.

IMHO, a big contributor to the state of our government and the insane GOP was Citizens United. We had manifold problems before, but the ability of rich assholes to dictate like this was the inflection point that took us from dysfunctional to bugfuck crazy.

10/10. No notes.

If you don’t see them, you hear them. On any July Fourth or New Year’s Eve, it’s common to experience the loud pop of a firework or see it colorfully explode into the sky and hang there briefly.

The explosive history of fireworks, from ancient China to Revolutionary Americawww.npr.org Pyrotechnic amusements from sparklers to Roman candles have long been a staple of celebrations in the U.S. and beyond, helping to mark national holidays, sporting events and more.

Sandwich strategy didn’t pay off I guess.

It would appear this was not a winning strategy

Dipshit voted for Ron Paul and decided to go with Glenn Greenwald as his journalist champion.

the latest Snowden leak: his brain from his ears

Look, just click and go to ex Twitter this once. Totally worth it.

The reveal of the UK exit poll on Sky TV led to a lot of, um, exclamations . I don’t know how to embed a video here so I’m going to exceptionally link to the other site because it’s worth it— x.com/taniel/statu...

Fuck

Google targeted ads are getting wild. No idea why they think I need to discreetly move bodies around.

"Why I don't breathe. And why you shouldn't either."

this has got to be satire. if not by the author then by someone further up the masthead. there are a lot of ways to frame voting abstention in a system w/ an electoral college and this has got to be the dumbest way possible. it's just too cute by half.

Here it is, the dumbest thing you will read today www.nytimes.com/2024/07/04/o...

This is the most fucked up shit Tablet has ever done

Marimow, Marimow....where have I heard that name.... Oh right, the villain from the The Wire.

the consolidated, center-right billionaire owned press continues to shift the editorial overton window rightward and if you can't see it you're either complicit or oblivious

one of the most out-of-nowhere moving experiences in a game I've had was at the end of Wolfenstein: The New Order where (spoiler) Blaskowitz recites The New Colossus. encapsulates the best about this country

This isn't the best example but the way they torture both themselves and the English language is wild. This account is eye-opening.

Change in Abstract

Tragedy of the commons.

Sunak losing his seat would be hilarious but also would allow him to flee the UK for his obvious trajectory of “director of ___” in Silicon Valley whereas if he wins his seat he has to stay in the UK. Too many of you are willing to sacrifice greater long-term hilarity for short-term humor rewards.
