Adam Friedland’s interview of Jon Favreau is instructive, because you learn Jon was there almost entirely by random chance. Obama didn’t want a speechwriter but Axelrod & co. insisted, so he interviewed Favs and was like “eh, good enough.”

If "Platner campaign strategist whose voice gets progressively, insanely high pitched and strangled as he talks about vetting the candidate" was a bit it, it would be insanely funny. But we don't need to invent it.

Dear GaySkeletor69 (if that is your real name), Tapirs don't have probosces in the first place, so I think you'll find it physically impossible for your pet tapir to stick its "down [my] peehole", much less "knock [my] balls around like it's playing pool". Secondly,

They’re really not interesting. Bunch of grifters who correctly identified resist libs as easy marks. Krassensteins with AI image generators

My grandfather died of a heart attack. As a result, being frightened fills me with fear.

incidentally, the reheated thing this is is the speech the Illinois Nazis give in the Blues Brothers. "the commie Jew intellectuals are using the savage blacks for muscle and sympathy from limp-wristed liberals, what are you going to do about it, white man" congrats to muslims on becoming black ig

hades 2 is a good video game the comedy value of Zeus and Hera's individual combat boons being Okay and together they are fucking amazing is delightful just kind of wish her attack boosts werent garbage

fond memories of the first round of this shit, liberals deciding that the Mexicans congenitally craved a caudillo overlord when they didn't get as much of the latino vote as they'd expected in 2020

watching the shift from victorian to edwardian america happen in real time is an odd experience an idle rich lashing out in all directions inside their sphere of influence, trying to quiet the rising feeling of unease that they're not going to stay on top for much longer and not succeeding

donald trump has closed off the reflecting pool for privacy as he prepares for yet another home birth. sources close to the president are predicting this one will “definitely not” be extra messy

Cassilda: We all have laid aside disguise but you. Stranger: I wear no mask. Camilla: No mask? No mask!

It's funny that this is no less insane than the whole clearly fake "Havana Syndrome" thing that both dumbass parties in Congress appropriated money for

my comment on recent events

Low-key liberal accomplishments coupled with high-profile policy concessions to the right and aggressive conservative virtue signalling — this is exactly the strategy moderates have recommended for Democrats here, of course. Didn't work too well. Maybe some lessons there.

democrats should nominate an insane blueanon type person who believes this sort of stuff for president. who cares anymore. Lets have fun with it

Oh so it's illegal now to completely suck shit at doing your job! I guess we all need to resign then!

GF introduced me to Love Island. When will the media stop sexualizing its most vulnerable population: twenty-odd year old men who are dumber than a post, almost hot enough for you to not notice that, and named Bryce this is definitely the foremost problem facing America today and we demand acti9n

hi i'm dane and i like to build legos and play #lancerrpg.

there is a bit of Civil War history that nobody in media has ever touched, out of the well founded concern that if it were ever glorified in the slightest White America would lose its fucking shit the 36th Colored Troops were the first into Richmond, Virginia, as the Confederates fled before them.

Vance: "Everyone else who sucked up to the guy enough to be his main funky got absolutely fucked, but I'm built different" Absolute turnip truck rube

it is extremely cute watching the Rational Centrists find a way to concede "these darned lefties might have a point, about running on hopelessly unpopular compromises with Republicans" that lets them preserve their sense of being the smartest kids in the room

I haven’t seen such a comprehensive Paraguayan loss since imperial Brazilian troops sacked Asunción in 1869 during the War of the Triple Alliance and ultimately forced the signing of the Loizaga–Cotegipe Treaty three years later that led to the country losing almost 40% of its prewar territory.

horrified to realize basically the only video games I have played for the last few months have been Warhammer games they've done good work putting some long-tailed output, I guess

I’m a neutral fan and I’m gonna throw up

This is the mode of conservative argument best exemplified by Bari Weiss - if I feign objectivity and use neutral sounding language to advance incoherent and indefensible views then you’re actually closed minded for not agreeing with me

Knicks fans, it’s hard to process a playoff loss after a long win streak, but take a deep breath this morning and repeat to yourself: - That WAS the series turning point - The Spurs WILL win three of the next four - The League DOES want Wemby as their new face - You CAN’T stop it

Based on the rock acts that play at the casino in Hammond, I think the Bears will fit in as something that was last good in 1985

Can't believe people are posting about Trump when there's a god dang Cheeto in the white house!!!

This is really what Abundance is about. They don’t care about housing, they just don’t want their billionaire backers to have to put up with any red tape standing between their gas burning power plants and their data centers they use to spy on you, scam you, and put you out of a job.

In data science we call this problem "overfitting." The author, David frum's son, has memorized a bunch of facts about Normal Men without understanding the deeper relationships between those facts. Thus he has weak predictive power when trying to say other normal things.
