The only time Trump can keep his eyes open anymore is when he's rage-sputtering racist attacks toward immigrants.

I've talked about this when it comes to SSI fraud. I'd rather 1000 people fraudulently get benefits than 1 person be denied; others would prefer 1000 eligible people get denied rather than 1 person commit fraud (note: SSI fraud is EXTREMELY rare).

Remember when portions of the internet – including nominal leftists – insisted Trump was going to be a dove compared to Clinton and Biden? Anyway.

I assumed this was a Photoshop joke, but it's legit. Someone royally fucked up (by someone, I mean probably an AI algo)

According to this new OU standard, there are some college chemistry tests I deserved an A on because I *believed* my answers were correct.

conservatives basically want to implement the caricature of affirmative action for conservative students. acceptance without meeting qualifications, good grades and degrees without having to do the work.

If you're enjoying Pluribus - and I sure am - you might just get a kick out of my debut novel, which includes messages from a distant alien species and an inexplicable change to humanity. Yahweh's Children is #litfic with a dollop of sci-fi and a tinge of satire.

As I keep saying, there are other options. Namely, Qobuz:

I know it's been said a million times by now, but this is literal N@zi shit.

A corollary to that post about how using "AI art" makes your business look cheap, using AI for your promotional materials makes me assume the actual show or movie is shit. This Robin Hood show may be a masterpiece, but I wouldn't watch it based on this alone.

I don't know what this pertains to, but I think we can all agree the collective answer is "No."

Today is the 40th anniversary of the comic strip Calvin & Hobbes by Bill Watterson. On November 18, 1985, the world met a six-year-old boy named Calvin and his stuffed (but also real) tiger named Hobbes. The comic only ran for 10 years, but its lasting impact cannot be overstated.

I'm getting real "I'm an expert on scammers; this is how I got scammed" vibes from this whole story.

You know who has Universal Healthcare provided by the government? Folks in Argentina do and the US taxpayers sent them $40 Billion Dollars so they can keep it. How are your premiums doing?

"How could I have known?" When everything is finally out in the open – when all but the most devoted MAGAts accept that Trump and Epstein were intricately linked – people who voted for him will say, "How could I have known?" You could have known because he bragged about it.

“For decades, the media did not cover Epstein. They covered *for* Epstein.” From 2022, from the chapter “Epstein Wasn’t the First”, featuring Landon Thomas Jr.

The 17 year old who had sex for money with Trump’s first nominee for Attorney General was in and out of a homeless shelter, working at McDonalds. and trying to save up for braces. (Gift link). www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

The people who voted for Donald Trump because "Trans people are going to invade women's bathrooms" are going to spend the foreseeable future proving that his close friendship with a pedophile is not a deal breaker for them.

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

The people still covering for Donald Trump to distract from the Epstein emails need you to believe quite a few incongruous ideas at once:

Because he had a "product" they really really wanted.

No one is doing a better job of making Sora 2 look lame as shit as the people who keep posting videos from it.

Just look at the comment of any conservative publication to see how desperately they're going to defend Trump. Most of them are a half a day away from just saying "Trump sleeping with children is his right as an American!"

Sure, MAGA ended up electing a s€x pest who concentrated all of the power of the US government into his own hands while robbing the country blind, but at least we got 50-year mortgages out of it!

The Donald Trump fundraising emails have just gone full AI now. They know their demographic won't be able to tell.

Just saw a guy in a Christmas sweater. I can't explain it, but that feels even more premature than Christmas music in October.

Wasn't there an AI app going around that was "nudifying" clothed women? That technology would be put to much better use demasking all these chodes.

Elon Musk is so desperate for people to think he's cool, I'd almost feel bad for him if he wasn't also just a shitty human being.

ICYMI: For all the writers out there, there's a "book club" scam going around that's aimed right at you. It isn't anything super sophisticated, but that doesn't mean it can't work. #WritingCommunity

'Writer Beware: The "Book Club" Scam' There's a new scam going around targeting the #WritingCommunity and #indieauthors in particular. Here's what happened when the scammers targeted me.

One of my favorite #quotes from #AnneLamott

I posit that "Ryan Grim" is just a character played by the ghost of Andy Kaufman.

Heads up #WritingCommunity: There's a scammer claiming to be from The Paris Anglophone Book Club (a real thing, though I'd never heard of it). The email said they're considering my book for their #bookclub. And I was even up for an award! Very exciting for an #indieauthor!

Cheney truly lived up to his name: He shoved the country into Iraq and Afghanistan, then left it in there too long, which resulted in a giant mess when it was finally pulled out. And now we're all living with the consequences.

We've been in a post-truth world for a while now, but the 2026 midterm elections will be the first without even a semblance of a corrective in mainstream news.

Dick Cheney is the one politician that every political persuasion should equally loathe. Everyone now agrees attacking Iraq was a terrible mistake, and he was the architect of that war. So, naturally, expect the Democrats to embarrass themselves by heaping praise on him.
