@chests @PopCrave all else aside beginning a rap verse with "so transgender rights, where do I stand?" is hilarious

@PopCrave for someone who still can sway a lot of opinions (admittedly with an ageing audience), it's probably a case of "take what you can get", and be happy with the inch without demanding a mile

John Waters to Las Culturistas on Eminem: “He’s not homophobic. He gave Elton John & David Furnish matching gold c*ck rings for their wedding.”

@GRUGCEL fellow hail to the thief respecter

be honest how over is it

@job_gyhb @matthewstoller @DKThomp The people. By electing representatives. In a democracy. Jesus christ

@matthewstoller @DKThomp The obvious problem with this - and basically every unprincipled leftist position - is who gets to decide when a billionaire “should” and should not get to exist? You? Donald Trump?

When Lina Khan blocked the Figma-Adobe merger, and Figma later IPO'd‚—making lots of people very rich and even minting a few billionaires in the process—the left praised Khan's policies for creating all that value. Khan herself called it "a win" for investors. But now we're also hearing that wealth is inherently unethical and extractive. So, I guess I'm confused. Is it inherently evil to create billions of dollars of value as part of an enterprise in which you retain equity ownership? Or is it ... sometimes good? Or is it mostly only good when it's downstream of anti-monopoly measures?

@pescami What the fuck are you on about? What is more capitalist than a failing firm exiting the industry? Spirit was always fucked. Being bought out by JetBlue does nothing but reduce competition. Spirits exit now does the same exact thing. Khan Derangement Syndrome needs to be studied

From the New Yorker's dirge for Spirit. No mention of Lina Khan, anti trust, Biden policy etc. The reference to "failed merger" is written in the passive voice as if it just happened. Biden admin ideology killed it, the New Yorker would rather not grapple with that truths newyorker.com/culture/critic…

idk man, not sure you can have a functioning, democratic legislature if states are arbitrarily redistricting every two years to create new rotten boroughs and both voters and courts are blasé about the whole thing and refuse to punish the instigating party

@tom_paine1737 @AyendeChand @ImNotOwned it's bc they don't actually want that theyre just using it as a cynical talking point

@AyendeChand @ImNotOwned The funny thing is right-wingers bitching about 30% of voters in MA not being represented in the House, being too stupid to realize that this is actually what they want.

@kodkod87 @_rotimia @ettingermentum Pretty wild how y'all's entire platform just seems to be [shit I just made up]

@_rotimia @ettingermentum Pretty wild how y'all's entire platform just seems to be "let's make sure October 7th succeeds next time"

Bro is trying💔

@SilverTrash2 @realcopeaganda @BrianAtlas Abelism! Fuck yeah! Anyone who doesnt have a normal body should be absolutely made fun of!!!! Especially fat people who need scooters. Also probably ugly people. Oh and the handicapped. Bigot bros for life! Me and sesame, out here dunkin' on the fatties!

Women post video using Charlie Kirk assassination sounds for outfit transition… this is gross. The “empathy” side btw.

@Class0305 @realcopeaganda @BrianAtlas make sure to charge your mobility scooter

@realcopeaganda @BrianAtlas Word!? Anyone know the name and address of the person who runs this account. I wanna do some comedy from his front lawn.

@Terfin9000 @GJobbing41782 @GingerBriq @jk_rowling Aren't you doing the racist legwork here? You've associated the minstrel shows with offensive black stereotypes, not the show's producer.

@GJobbing41782 @GingerBriq @jk_rowling Aren’t you doing the racist legwork here? You’ve associated bankers and goblins with Jews, not Rowling. Also Cho Chang is a perfectly fine Chinese name. Certainly no worse than “Hermione Granger”

Why do leaders of the Greens have such difficulty naming the particular demographic likely to be most ‘shaken’ and ‘affected’ by two men from their community having their throats cut on a London street?

@JJ_McCullough how could you even ask about something so trivial right now. we're all concerned about the ballroom but you're worried about some little strait? sort out your priorities man

So did anyone ever sort out that whole Strait of Hormuz situation…?

@jorgeca17394141 @GarsiS88 @DreadBirate @ArchysLife makes it even funnier then. so-called "samurai-caste" dodging a patriotic war? isnt that supposed to be his whole raison d'etre?

@GarsiS88 @DreadBirate @ArchysLife Sepukku is the contrary of embarrassing death. He was from a cast of samurais. And that was the traditional death for a samurai when they faced defeat.

BREAKING: A jury has found Live Nation and Ticketmaster to be an illegal monopoly that overcharges fans. After the federal government settled the case, 34 states kept pursuing the giant ticket and concert company. Now, the states have won.

@ettingermentum am i just not tapped in bc I swear these people go on about this mythical they/them as like it's fucking Daisy but I never saw it nor heard anyone talk about it until long after the election was over

Well *I* was also at a sports bar when they ran that ad an nobody reacted at all so I guess we’re never going to be able to figure out anything

@bald_keys @abysssalsss @unsafebl0ck @DrewPavlou @BillAckman but....the white house posted such cool tiktok edits....

@abysssalsss @unsafebl0ck @DrewPavlou @BillAckman Under the current ceasefire arrangement, they have 3 things they didn’t pre-war: they can charge massive tolls to ships passing through Hormuz, they can enrich uranium freely, and all sanctions imposed over the past 25 years are lifted. So, what exactly are you claiming here?

Let’s flip the scenario for a moment. Imagine Iran killed Trump in the first 5 minutes of the war, established air superiority over the US mainland, wiped out the entire US Air Force, US Navy, killed half the Cabinet, flattened the US military industrial complex, then started building runways in Missouri to land Iranian troops without losing any casualties. Would you say it was a US victory if the US managed to keep the Panama Canal closed throughout this all?
