On a fundamental level I do think it’s extremely funny that the massive intellectual property protection empire is investing in a plagiarism machine

Every Black Friday I take the time to read what is perhaps my favorite piece in the history of online media— @jonbois.bsky.social on RadioShack’s slow, painful death. www.sbnation.com/2014/11/26/7...

you don't have to embarrass our guest by asking if he had someone killed and hacked to pieces

women are always saying “lord grant me the confidence of a mediocre man.” ok well he did. now what. is the world a better place? look at what you’ve wrought.

I don’t think US taxpayers should subsidize treason against the United States

8 years of "What is a woman?" and now it turns out that the comeback was "define a child"

Amid everything else I had almost forgotten that even without a pardon, Trump has offered Ghislaine Maxwell amenities unexplainable by anything but some sort of quid pro quo.

Until owners open their books, the default assumption should be that they're making money hand over fist and they don't want the players to know it. And opening the books should mean cash flow statements for all affiliated entities, not just showing paper losses for the team.

We gotta have a clear term for people so cynical they become gullible.

in a long life filled with saying stupid shit this is may be the stupidest shit he's ever said

Tell me you don’t understand risk pools without telling me you don’t understand risk pools

That’ll be a no from me dawg. Call your local asshole and explain that this ain’t it

Calling bullshit on “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme” now that we have added baseball players rigging games to political supercorruption, tariffs, and rising industrial overlords. This is just derivative repetition of the Gilded Age with no elegant rhyme scheme whatsoever.

One lesson of the Sandwich Guy Case is now more than ever when you are called to jury duty you should go

Turning the Civil War from "a tragedy, brother against brother" into "The Good Guys Destroyed The Bad Guys" is necessary. It is absolutely essential. The fourth grade class I attended in the 1990s sang Dixie every morning and we need to completely stomp that out.

Congrats to everyone who put Republicans in charge "for the economy," the first three quarters of 2025 already had more layoffs than any of the years in which Biden or Obama was President except 2009 (when Dems were still cleaning up the prior Republican mess). www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

genuinely crazy-making how much the national press is indifferent to the verifiable fact that jd vance is buddy buddy with internet nazis, and the degree to which this is almost certainly a form of solidarity among people with a similar institution pedigree

MONEY QUOTE "Trump cannot legally be president again. Remember that when bad people with evil intentions try to scare you into thinking he can. Trump is not magic. He’s an old man wearing the costume of a president hoping to trick you into giving him what he wants."

You know who could definitely Remember some Guys if pressed? Samwise Gamgee.

Multiple accounts on ICE Watch Facebook pages are reporting that agents pulled a couple out of their vehicle in Aurora, Illinois, arrested them, and then abandoned the couple’s toddler in the backseat.

Sort of incredible that we live in a world where the vice president of the United States is just spewing the sort of horseshit that literal children are traditionally taught is wrong

The most important thing here is that the president is unilaterally raising taxes on you because he got mad at his TV

BREAKING: The entire East Wing of the White House will be demolished “within days,” according to two Trump administration officials, a significant expansion of President Trump's original stated plan.

this *is* the story, this is the *whole* story

Not enough of you believe me right now, but "Rebuild The White House" is going to become one of the most popular slogans in American political history

sorry, man, but this is breathtakingly, shockingly corrupt in every fucking way it can be, and an open and shut and uncomplicated case for impeachment. he didn’t even pay for these lawyers, his donors did, for fuck’s sake.

The generals said "sir are you sure you want to fly the diarrhea bomber over the AI city with the nonsense billboards" and I said [zesty] we've got to shit the hell out of 'em. And no one has more loose stool than me. And actually that was very smart. Making myself the diarrhea president was smart.

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

ILLUMINATI HQ 2000 AD ILLUMINATI CEO Gentlemen. Technology is about to link every human on Earth and give them all ungoverned access to all scientific and historical information. Your cyanide pills are - ILLUMINATI ASSISTANT - Sir, it’s making people dumber ILLUMINATI CEO No fucking way

If you are just waking up, these should be most of the new accounts that are MAGA or have posted MAGA content since the Us Government decided to join in unison at 6pm on a Friday night

new explanation for our current political climate just dropped

1) I once again take this opportunity to remind you: to keep its basic functioning, society has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities 2) is...is it happening?

the thing in some scifi stories where colonists return from space to attack earth with a horrible weapon that's us sending the Jets to London

All you peacenik liberals wringing hands over what to do: Yes, of course, vote. It's your primary responsibility as a citizen. But now more than ever, fulfill your second civic responsibility: Serve on juries. Never has it been more imperative to thwart rogue injustice.

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality. They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

Every network should be diving into this story: www.cnn.com/2025/10/02/u...

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

American Christians deciding the Pope doesn't know the Bible because he said immigrants are human is the perfect summary of the evangelist movement

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

You know, as bad as this is - and it's really, really bad - I'm kind of relieved that it's out in the open now, and we don't have to pretend this was headed anywhere different. The stakes are obvious and anybody choosing not to see them now is a quisling at best.

like, the fact that they felt this spectacle was necessary is itself evidence that they don't have the military support that they want

Hi! I borrowed $300m from the worst people in the world to buy your favourite thing! Now your favourite thing owes me $300m and sadly it looks like it can’t pay me back so I’ve taken it out back and shot it. Anyways, just wanted to ask… what’s your *second* favourite thing?

Most people who write about politics, right or left, have internalized the concept of the Trump supporter as the authentic american Volk and so many of their conclusions proceed from that bsky.app/profile/qjur...
