This is just more proof that law enforcement doesn’t need age verification or backdoors to fight crime.

This dude is cooked.

He’s got a long record, his crime was egregious, and white supremacists are abandoning him. Nick Fuentes came startlingly close to defending black people by saying that “Chud’s” behavior was responsible for the violence.

Don’t be fooled though. Chud’s sin with white supremacists is making them look bad.

I don’t deal in absolutes, but one move I watched recently that I really enjoyed was Predator: Badlands (2025).

Like a Verhoeven move from the 80s, Predator sneaks in genuine and interesting themes into an ostensibly crappy sci-fi movie. The Thia character is good feminism that reminds me of Lewis in Robocop (1987). That is to say she’s powerful without being coded masculine. And her relationship with Dax is as a partner and eventually a mirror. Dax’s character arc can be summed up as overcoming toxic masculinity. Just delightful, I watched it twice in two days.

The Kennedy brothers were pretty eager to use assassinations as foreign policy. I hope the Trumps don’t get the same “live by the sword” lesson that the other American royals got.

There was a time when the POTUS could have pressured Ukraine against attacking oil infrastructure during the Iran crisis. But you can’t leverage aid when your not sending any.

I take comfort and occasional joy at the knowledge that these people are small and miserable.

Abrego Garcia has been eligible for deportation this whole time. Costa Rica has agreed to accept him and he’s agreed to go. The only reason the regime hasn’t done that is because they want to punish him for embarrassing them.

Kamala lost because she didn’t have a penis.

If you squint your eyes, you can kinda see how Gaza might have hurt her in Michigan, but if you think that cost her GA, your high on your own supply.

Honestly it’s easier to believe that the Pillow Guy stole the election than it is to believe millions of Americans care about genocide in Gaza.

This is a systemic problem, not the sum of individuals making stupid decisions.

The American problem with medicine isn’t because people are stupid or that conspiracy theories are powerful, it’s because mistrust of the American medical institution is 10,000% rational.

American doctors and hospitals kill people for money every day. Their lack of credibility didn’t come from Facebook.

There are 10,000 plausible explanations for this, but I’m going to guess she was drunk. Maybe she hit her head when she fell in? If the people who recovered and examined her body say it’s not suspicious, maybe they know something you don’t?

In the US for example, many newspapers won’t list suicide as a cause of death unless that detail is newsworthy.

When the authorities say a death isn’t suspicious, but are vague about the cause, it might mean they’re trying to save the family some embarrassment.

I remember Frank back when he was a pugnacious foil to the Bush Administration. He was a liberal lion, both in the good and bad sense.

I just can’t get over the anti-trans stuff. How can one of the first married gay man say out loud that some civil rights are too much? Ladder-puller.

The antisemites are adopting the language and style of the anti-Zionist left to sane-wash their delusional beliefs. Don’t fall for it.

The newspaper noted, however, that in a 2019 interview, Ahmadinejad praised President Trump and argued for a rapprochement between Iran and the US.

Everyone who goes on TV is automatically interviewing for a position in the Trump regime.

A future where the owners defeat the proletariat is the exact opposite of what Marx predicted. It’s also suspicious that the tech bros are concerned that people are miserable.

Before Oct 7, I was a vague supporter of Israel. I got interested and read a few books. Goddamn!

Only one is a polemic, the other two are histories.

I just look at vanilla lemmy.world on a browser. I’m not really sure what an “instance” is, other than .mil sucks.

That’s why we’re invading Cuba: to teach them baseball! We might even share our American love of classical cars.

“mass” prayer event.

The article doesn’t load. I’m confused; when they say “mass” do they mean a whole bunch of people will be praying, or that it’s a Catholic service?

By cultivating radical individualism conservatives shoot themselves in the foot. In their vision of freedom any obligation on the citizen is an outrage.

America is weak.

Neat, now realize that the same thing is happening to you; that 5yo kid you used to be is just as dead as if they got hit by a car.

I would argue that a past-tense love is evidence of a past-tense YOU.
