We judge every politician’s First 100 Days because FDR built the foundations of the modern welfare state in that time. We can absolutely do it again. All it takes is the will to power

videogames can teach you a lot. for example this citybuilding game taught me that everyone in eastern europe spent 1920 to 199x working in a gravel pit, then going home, eating 2 kilograms of bread, and then killing themselves because the swimming pool was too crowded.

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

I think if you pull off a cool heist you should go to Cool Jail which is like normal jail but the warden gives you a high five on your way in. The judge who sentenced you also gives you a high five.

Orange man was supposed to make it 2019 again :[

They think you're stupid.

It is funny how the bimodal distribution of the Big Poasters on this site is "center-left wannabe policy wonks who speak like Disco Elysium characters" on one end, and "Tumblr Commune emigres who speak like Disco Elysium characters" on the other

Doing this video with a painting of Washington in the background is a level of irony that even he’d probably cross the Delaware again just to get away from

“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”

man, how can you not look at the Artemis II pictures of earth and not be just...overwhelmed in every sense possible

this recession has gone TOO FAR

Oh wow, the photos already released from NASA for the launch of Artemis II from the NASA HQ flickr.

this junkballing Czech electrician is a folk hero in Japan for striking out Ohtani in the last WBC (stopped for photos/autographs etc) but he's retiring after this bc Czech league ball doesn't pay the bills. I love the way he took in in this one last surreal moment before going back to normalcy
