I swear, "a pope from Chicago excommunicates a Nazi-adjacent sect" is like a cut scene from The Blues Brothers

hi, fake fascist monument expert here! this is not funny, they only do this when they’re in extreme distress

i'm finally going through the dissents in the birthright citizenship case, each of which grafts some extremely broad unspoken exception onto the plain language of the constitution, and every single dissent can be rebutted by asking "if that is what the drafters meant then why didn't they say it?"

And we’re all looking for the guys who did this. Guy-in-a-hotdog-suit.gif

This should never happen for a private event. No one private citizen, no matter how wealthy, famous, and/or popular, should have the power to shut down this much of a city for a private event. Billionaires are a policy failure. Tax the rich. All the rich.

The better to clutch them couch cushions with.

Founders would have loved Muslims coming to America and freaked out about Catholics FYI

it goes without saying that it's racist to refer to immigrants as "invaders" who must be met with lethal force, but the 'traitors then invaders' framing here isn't just xenophobia - it's a recurring theme in some of the most violent neonazi propaganda of the late 20th century.

lol i swear to god this is an actual commercial that just ran on fox news

Well then I'm not interested in buying that house.

Melville: dated in his racial terminology, but way ahead of his time in his depiction of mobile messaging.

To be fair, our culture is a lot of slobbering over assholes.

it's hard to even imagine how extreme the issue has gotta be for this administration to publicly tell people to wear an n95 mask again which for them became and still is regarded as a symbol to be embarrassed over social issues such as understanding science or giving a shit about strangers outside

Glad everyone’s ok — it’s also hard to imagine a better metaphor for the current state of 🇺🇸 than this

I’m starting to think that authoritarian superpowers are kinda bad at, like, DOING THINGS.

From a historical perspective, the United States would have to fight the Vietnam War roughly eight times to match Russia’s battlefield death tally in Ukraine.

this meme is uniformly evergreen

Been contemplating this a lot lately, intertwined with the simple truth that Humans Are Not Meant To Be Famous, and fame is trauma, and the younger you're made famous, the more pronounced its negative effects. Already working on one script, tho.

I've decided to keep doing semi-regular dorky mini comics, but posting them over here under @dinosaurdanceparty.bsky.social.

“After realizing the importance of what he’d just found, he covered the site and called the authorities so that they could properly excavate the artifact.” Fuck yeah, dude. Doing it right.

Is it though? Maybe if you’ve been frozen in a block of ice for the last half century.

For forever, teachers in the U.S. taught school children that George Washington had a mouth full of wooden dentures. In fact they were a mix of wine-stained hippopotamus ivory, human teeth—from Africans enslaved on his Mount Vernon Plantation—brass screws, and gold wire.

“Well, it came from your division, Sanders, and as you can see, it’s covered with honey and molasses! … You know what that makes this, Sanders?”

My first thought is Trump standing there, blackened like Wile E. Coyote after a TNT mishap. My second thought is that all joking aside, between the fire hazard & the smoke & the heat & the generally bad planning, someone is probably going to die at this thing and probably not the person we hope.

“DIRE” is a weird way to spell “WONDERFUL.”

One thing you can see with the reaction to birthright citizenship decision is that Great Replacement Theory is now pretty much the center of the American Right's whole project.

Sir, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, Obama once gave a 95-minute speech when it was 107 degrees. And he stood on a black linoleum, unshaded platform. Without a teleprompter.

Elon now claims he was saving lives by ending USAID

what Vance does next and what Peter Thiel does next arguably may make a bigger difference in whether this moves from "inside baseball" to "whole-ass schism" than what Pope Leo does next, in my opinion
