Trump has designated Antifa as a "major terrorist organization". Antifa is not an organization. This is like declaring vibes a terrorist organization. How long until he makes feminism a terrorist organization? We're not even a year into this Presidency yet. Are we gonna make it?

I mean it’s Wednesday and so far the FBI has released completely fake text conversations from an accused killer, but then Jimmy Kimmel gets shit canned for calling bullshit on the whole situation. Things are just happening so fast that I barely can process it all. That’s probably the plan.

Hear me out. Just take a good look at this guy. He is 85 years old. I mean does he not pass for mid 50s? Is it possible that a vegan diet might be healthy? Paul McCartney looks just as good.

I pay just short of $800 a month for health insurance. I have not had a single visit to the doctor in a year, but I still get charged $60 for a VIRTUAL appointment to talk to my doctor. What the fuck. This country is a joke and so are the people who are afraid of universal health care.

Robert Redford in Westwood, California in 1965 when he was a successful working actor on TV. It was still two more years until Barefoot in the Park and then Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. He will be missed.

FBI: the shooter wrote a note saying he had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and was going to do it. It was destroyed but its contents were recovered. Was he writing the note to himself or was he riding it to somebody else? Who would write a note like and what 22-year-old writes notes?

‘I’m Old Fashioned’ was written in 1942 for a Fred Astaire + Rita Hayworth film, but Chet Baker later turned it into a cool jazz classic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3Jv...

You know, it did bomb so it doesn’t seem like an obvious choice, but it’s a great story. The plot hinged on the arcade game fad of the early eighties, and I don’t know if it would resonate the same if it was an Xbox, but it’s still a great story.

Charlie was shot by a conservative; headlines scold liberals for their reactions. Dems didn’t shoot him, conservatives did this to themselves. Their culture of hate breeds violence, and like anyone with deep emotional problems, they avoid accountability because responsibility feels too threatening.

What’s completely crazy and depressing is I’m seeing comments from MAGA people who are saying that Charlie Kirk’s shooter was corrupted by going to college. They are calling for the professors to be investigated. They are 100% convinced that college corrupts young people.

Obsessed with this janky VHS cover for GODZILLA VS. MEGALON, both for the PD cover art and for the taglines touting it as a “chilling horror classic.”

The call is coming from inside the house. Maybe before MAGA declares war on half the country, we should first take a moment to digest what happened here. The first point to acknowledge is that he’s white, conservative, and definitely not trans. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

I’m trying to learn this language, but Duolingo is throwing in all kinds of random nonsensical sentences to translate. I’m already struggling so I’m not sure who thought it would be cute to write sentences that don’t make any sense at all. Is this AI making up stuff for me now?

Charlie Kirk was downplaying the severity of gun violence in America as being primarily gang related, sitting under a big sign that read “prove me wrong,” when he was shot dead. There was also an unrelated school shooting today as well, 146 so far in 2025.

I have really enjoyed the two Tron films and was looking forward to the third, but it seems like it’s not just me, everyone is extremely disappointed that Jared Leto is in the film. I honestly feel like it’s going to ruin it.

Split Enz were a New Zealand band formed in 1972. This song was released in May 1982. It never charted in the US. It is sort of a folk song with a new wave twist. The intro is long and orchestrated and the end has a wonderfully melancholy coda. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSGp...

Dan Harumi said something interesting. American subtraction politics suggests if we delete homeless people it will reveal this wonderful functioning system. However, the truth is our system actually creates homelessness. We can subtract all we want, but we will continue to manufacture suffering.

If I hear purity test or purity politics one more time I swear to god. Also, Jill Stein got 0.5% of the vote, nowhere near influential. She and her voters did not lose the election for Kamala. Take some responsibility for the loss. Bottom line these narratives don't solve anything.
