John Oliver is so good he makes jokes about Gandhi with that accent and the whole of India cheers

An exceptionally stupid and contingent set of circumstances made Stephen Miller the most influential ideologue in the US. There is no future for the left or liberalism that does not take as a core mission ensuring he is punished for his crimes & no one as hateful as him is ever close to power again.

Still unreported, should be investigated: ICE shot Richard outside a mall. I visited mall security office. Guard said ICE and LAPD came in, used thumb drive to copy mall’s video footage, and THEN DELETED THE EVIDENCE from mall’s local drives. He showed me the missing timeline part saying “no data.”

Wait so instead of two 13 win teams playing for the 1 seed in primetime to cap the season we get a 96 year old Aaron Rodgers trying to go over .500?

Spending my Sunday evening cheering on the Bears, there's no way this ends well

Who was president in 2019? 🤔

The Bears doing anything that isn't running the ball feels like a whole choose your own adventure book waiting to be opened at a random page

Surreal to watch football teams where the offense goes to 3rd and long and the coordinator isnt like "ok that's enough for this half lads shut it down"

How far back depends on exactly how you reckon it, but it’s beyond serious dispute that Trump has raised taxes more than any president in decades.

In proof that there's literally an audience for anything no matter how bad, TIL there's a whole subsection of YT dedicated to agreeing with each other than Mass Effect 2 is the worst game in the trilogy

Look if you're going to wind ppl up about Prince you gotta be smart and use the "He was a Jehovah's Witness" angle and not something absolutely insane like "he was not good at music"

"It was an elopement that only the groom knew about" wait so it was a kidnapping?

Area People Amazed At Discovery That Watching TV While Driving Is Distracting

best take

why is everyone posting about the Bismarck suddenly and not one of the posts are even about the finding of the wreck, which was the coolest part

Imagine it being easier to just pay the 8 billion dollars and it won't affect you in the slightest. Man what have we done lol

All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.

the way the robot also doubles in pain up to mock him is... *chefs kiss*

The Delhi Police detained Congress leader Mumtaz Patel and several other protesters who were staging a sit-in near the Parliament complex to oppose a Delhi HC order suspending the life sentence of former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar. Read more: scroll.in/latest/10896...

The thing about hitting your 30s is you can swap out the club with the whisky bar and get literally all the same things but without having to yell and ask ppl to repeat themselves 11 times a conversation

I don’t understand how legal obligations do not apply to the president, any executive branch officials, or the Kennedy Center, but the strictest reading applies to performing artists.

“it is illegal for you not to like me”

Planescape Torment is the best DnD game I have ever read

I ended up with a thing called Agartha: Journey to the Stars from my random book powerball group and whatever this lady was on, it was not nearly illegal enough

Bluesky is that special place where 30 million people come online and listen to lectures on how to run public campaigns and win elections from a guy who got 3300 votes and placed 15th in a state primary

"Academics literally cannot make genAI go away" we also can't make underage drinking go away and we're not advocating for installing bar carts in every classroom.

This is the logical and inevitable conclusion of the last decade of elite media "free speech" discourse.

Darmok And Salad At Tanagra

Blue Prince is teaching me so much about billionaires and wealth management because this dead dude who left me his giant estate is still charging me to enter my own property every day

I genuinely do not understand why so many people are so interested in other people's personal relationships, ok so this person doesnt talk to their dad, cool, am I their dad and if not why do I even care

This man's got us rooting for Timpool

if you song only talks about winter conditions I do not accept it as a legitimate Christmas song, it's a weather report song

As Trump increasingly enables plutocrats, his kids, and other allies to take more than they give, this formulation seems like the inversion of reality, except insofar as Trump, his children, and Elon Musk are themselves immigrants or the children of immigrants.

honesty, I like it

I'm a comics creator. Every time I lead a workshop with kids, I see their absolute joy in drawing with their OWN HANDS. If you deny kids that joy by forcing them to type prompts into a computer, you're failing as an educator. Shame on you for this.

you are simply not prepared for Kermit, Tyrant of the Universe

NFL going out of their way to force-schedule 3 games on Christmas Day featuring 5 of the best teams last year only to end up with matchups with 5 teams whose season is already over and will be starting backups is the holiday spirit we all needed

when I was in high school a kid who was caught smoking ganja told our principal that all the kids were doing it so he should to, guy was a pioneer ahead of his time

had a fascinating exchange about immigration with an Englishman who seemed rather taken aback that my response to "so you don't think England should be able to maintain its own borders" was "correct", when you spend half a millennium not respecting anyone else's border you don't get to have one

I genuinely thought that was a waxwork in the image

if you have family in a different country, do you wish them when it's Christmas where you are or where they are

It's actually worse. The Supreme Court has held 9-0 -- Clarence Thomas and other executive power fanatics included -- that detainees rendered to another country via the Alien Enemies Act are entitled to a pre-deportation hearing. There is no legal debate whatsoever.

I wondered this about China and then I realised the focus on Europe is because they think of it as a race traitor

Facebook, Instagram, X are simply banned in Russia. No US outrage about free speech there—yet the EU is the target. That contrast says a lot.

"I shot a bunch of people because they have the same religion as a nation state in a different hemisphere doing terrible things" feels like the dictionary definition of bigotry, and in this case it's pretty clear what the bigotry is
