Can a plastic mail-order sex doll be a wiling adult participant in a relationship? Normal people say no but we spent 1600 words talking to Wayne, who lives in his mother’s shed outside of Indianapolis, to take the proposition very seriously, because we have grave perceptual and analytic deficits.

I want to know who the Hell wrote this amendment and added it to the bill. What’s their name? Whoever it is obviously knew how much pushback it would get because the text was only available ONE DAY before the House vote. I will be contacting my state senators demanding its removal.

Has anyone ever wanted to be cool this badly and missed the mark so far

Is it time to bring back the Benghazi acrostic meme?

To all who celebrate

Ah, so now he’s f*cking an Ottoman too

The World Cup is and will be an unmitigated disaster for so many reasons… but also, watching soccer from the front row is not an enjoyable experience IMO. You need some height from the ground to see the whole field. I suppose if you're in the front row you're there for celebrity, not the sport

I actually like using Light Mode in daylight, which a lot of my peers don't do. But if any app on earth needed a dark mode, or just dark-by-default if nothing else, it's PagerDuty

PagerDuty doesn't have a dark mode. This absolutely blows my mind.

Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?

liberals love to get on this website and say "the greatest threat to america at this moment is women on the internet i don't like"

In Bariworld world, Kanye releasing a single literally called "Heil Hitler" is less antisemitic than Ms. Rachel.

And she has since been deported. Link here: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Talked about this on the pod but I really don’t think most observers are fully grasping the mood of the electorate

RESULT: The right took over the Francis Howell school board, a large MO district in the St. Louis suburbs, earlier this decade; followed book bans & restrictive policies on LGBTQ students. Tonight, the slate endorsed by the teacher's slate swept, and the last remaining conservative was ousted.

yeah this feels like a necessary condition for things to hold

"So the standard was set. Four fibers per home. Point-to-Point. Open access for competitors on Layer 1 - the physical fiber itself."

Again, I listened to this show. In this very program Tucker says he'd vote for Trump right now.

hmm, what if i told you that it wasn’t

Trump used @theonion.com's "No it won't" argument www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...

Good. A clear call to impeach. But it should be amended: if Democrats don't come together and force the issue, the blood will be on their hands too.

how are we supposed to stop an elderly man with dementia who constantly shits himself and can barely string a sentence together? idk, one slippery flight of stairs? it's not like he's in a fucking battle mech

There are pundits in the US, the country behind the Manhattan Project, arguing that universities are fair game because science is used to make weapons. This attack is devastating in its own right. But the fact that this place of particular pride was targeted is an extra source of insult and pain.

Reminder: 500 tons of high-energy food was sitting in a warehouse in Dubai when Musk's DOGE let the food spoil. The food was already paid for, as were the distribution personnel. We actually paid MORE to destroy it. That story was repeated for 60,000 tons of USAID food across the globe.

can't blame the king; it must be his advisors.

Sly reference with the church backdrop but I thought we established that church was Methodist?

We pack a handful of folks into a tin can loaded with explosives. The computers are running Windows and the toilet is malfunctioning. We hurl them at a distant rock. Everything about where they are is deadly. And it is sublimely beautiful, one of the greatest things we’ve done as a species. #Artemis

Now I’m just a backwoods small town hyperchicken, but it seems to me that if a company is big enough to existentially threaten the government then you don’t actually have a functioning government anymore.

anyone attending the white house correspondents dinner is a fucking traitor

Easily the most blasphemous US administration in history.

This disproves a lot of right wing ideas about the causes of the decline in marriage rates

If I had a nickel for every time someone from this administration made *deeply* messianic resurrection references to someone that wasn't Jesus this Easter weekend, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but wild that it's happened twice.

The astronauts used the occasion to request that an unnamed lunar crater be named after Reid Wiseman's late wife Carroll. They were all crying up there and I was crying over my lunch down here on Earth!

This is really all they have left. "We have a pointless and criminal war pushing gas prices through the roof and the global economy to the brink but at least the government isn't treating trans people like they're human beings" will be the entirety of the midterm message.

In a better world, people like Nate Silver would be forced to engage with criticism of their dumb takes or lose their status as figures of authority, but nah, I'm gonna keep hearing about how he's so smart when he labels The Lincoln Project as left-leaning and Dave Portnoy as politically neutral

sir that soldier is dead they don't need healthcare (AI slop is bad even when it supports our politics)

Not sure where Nate's getting the idea that Dave Portnoy, Russia Today, Barstool Sports, and the Polymarket account are politically "neutral" voices, but ok

It validates their entire incurious, prejudicial, dipshit ideology to see one of their guys, the first TRUE fucking moron ever, in the most powerful position in the history if mankind.

Gotta make these for real

The thing about Donald Trump that's hard to immediately grasp is that he doesn't actually ever quite "wiggle out of it," so much as he just sort of refuses to accept defeat, refuses to do the honorable thing, and staggers on, bleeding increasingly profusely and waiting for someone to bail him out

great advice. i unironically believe in anti-grind influencing. productivity sucks ass. you "do not need to get more done" that is a lie being peddled to you by grifters who profit from your misery

I think the opposition party widely expected to make historic gains in the next election(s) has an obligation to explain how they'll stop this and prevent it from happening again or it's reasonable to conclude they don't plan on doing those things, which raises more uncomfortable questions

Ahahaha oh my fucking god you can't be serious

Not just allow but ensure

Not the first to make this observation, but Mamdani's political superpower basically seems to be that he is happy and enjoys life.

The President of the U.S. The man with the nuclear codes. And people are just going to pretend this is ok. In a functioning society, he would be removed from office within hours by his own party.

Every single person who allows this late-stage dementia-addled man to continue in office for a single additional minute belongs in The Hague.
