why would i base my thanksgiving menu around areas with a high rate of pension fraud

New Bari Weiss x VH1 collab: I <3 the 80 year olds who were expelled from polite society between 2008 and 2024.

One of my dirtbag roommates worked for an alcohol lobby group, and when Four Loko got banned, they redirected an entire pallet to our driveway. The resulting party got us evicted. Devil juice, terrible stuff.

This is how Bolsonaro himself was disabled, so he's simply generalizing from experience.

Hey, you! You're losing, you're losing, you're losing You're losing your vitamin C

It's nice that everyone here seems to have agreed not to pay Ryan Lizza to read the rest.

None of you are prepared for the NYT's inevitable profile (with glamorous black and white photoshoot) of Ryan Lizza in a few weeks.

<voice of 4th grade classroom pencil sharpener> "I have crossed oceans of time to felch you."

i don't think it tells us anything all that new (trump is senile, mamdani has insane rizz) but boy is it fucking funny

Trump is barely alive but upon meeting a young and swaggy New York man his last two neurons fired weakly in pleasure

The "filler" episodes are why shows are beloved. No one remembers TNG's various Klingon arcs, they remember Picard's alternate lifetime and Crusher's ghost sex. Most alien episodes of THE X-FILES are a slog to get through, but the filler eps are so good I still rewatch the series every few years.

How have I gone 20 years without seeing a *Julie Taymor* production of an opera starring *Eric Owens* based on Gardner's Grendel?? This is obviously my shit. 2004 should have sent me a push notification.

dudes rock

Pope Leo you must return to Chicago and demand access to an ICE facility now that you have secured the Khan's allegiance

the president should only be able to launch a nuclear weapon by blowing his own brains out on the resolute desk

I Am In This Photo And I Don’t Like It

The Noid all over again.

"he just like me fr fr"

to have an affair with one longshot presidential candidate twice your age that you’re profiling may be regarded as a misfortune; to have two looks like carelessness

"Mark Sanford, dude."

lol

Guy walks into a tailor’s in Ancient Greece. “Eumenides?” He says. Tailor looks up. “Euripides?”

Skip to 2:32 for the funniest joke I've ever seen on TV.

the total guarantee on Naylor's deal still hasn't been reported despite the team announcing the signing, and honestly, i hope we never find out. let it be a little mystery for the next five years.

I feel like the pope being an American cinephile is God finally rewarding Scorsese for a lifetime of devotion

50 stolen base season incoming.

remember, if lois mcmaster bujold calls you, insist she elaborate the entire vorkosigan family tree before you take the call

Heard Roger Clemens and Mike Love did the [makes inscrutable hand gesture] together and frankly I just hope they’re happy together.

The more you reflect on Sensei, the more you find yourself reflecting on Sensei

The very small number of real people on truth social are extremely block happy. I deserve a piece in The Atlantic over this

Awful day for music fans. If you aren’t familiar with Todd Snider, I don’t blame you. He was a giant in a genre of music that barely exists anymore - but I can count on one hand the artists who wrote more great songs this century than he did. A dozen to choose from. I’ll share a few of my favs.

Watching F is for Fake, and it is WILD how Orson Welles anticipated the form of the YouTube video essay, early by 50 years.

Every other use of "This is a fake show inside of 30 Rock" is inadequate next to that

I am definitely glad that our long national phenylephrinated nightmare is over though, I was getting tired of having to explain why it was legal to sell OTC drugs that empirically don’t work. unfortunately we seem to have traded it for the “natural remedies” section at CVS.

i prefer big beautiful william, actually

the penguin classics editions of the novelizations of Ernest Goes to Jail and Ernest Scared Stupid

I really hate living in numberwang economy

everything I've learned about Thomas Chatterton Williams has been against my will

Jeffrey Epstein was picking out Trump term 1's cabinet secretaries. I repeat, Jeffrey Epstein was picking out the President of the United States' fucking cabinet.

I think a lot of the decisions along the way are defensible in the micro. But, in the broader picture, NYT: 1) had an Epstein double-agent on staff 2) missed everything having to do with that story and the close links to a presidential frontrunner and later president that's a massive failure

<sam elliot voice> Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's the pisspiggranddad

This probably sounds rich coming from me, but I think the trick is to say it starkly straightforwardly: "These are very bad people & we can't have a good society with them in charge"

In case it wasn't already clear how rich men in this country viewed MeToo.

ahh yeah here he comes, big donnie t, donald j trump himself, looks like he brought a bag lunch, smart.

trump should be understood not just as a frequent visitor to epstein, but running a (friendly) rival project out of mar-a-lago and his child beauty pageants

while he was president

Thiel is clenching his jaw so hard that a vein he had transplanted from a live chimpanzee (for spurious longevity reasons) is bulging out of his scalp and changing the way his hair parts.
