Here's my hot take. People complaining about turkey and pie are telling on themselves that they're one or both of the following... 1. Not a particularly good cook (no shade, both aren't easy to make) 2. Don't know how to find particularly good food

It is a shame that Brazil’s judges are so activist that none of them stepped in to change the laws for Jair Bolsonaro. by John Roberts (joined by Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Barrett, and Kavanaugh)

I’m sorry, but if Democrats were in power, would this not be in the headlines every single day?

when we say we want more streets to be pedestrianized, this is what we mean

Bari’s big idea is the famous Harvard Law professor whose annual vacation tantrum on the Vineyard is treated as national news doesn’t have enough access to press.

A roundtrip LAX-JFK flight in the late 60s was around $3K in today’s dollars. The people who wore suits on those flights were the people who regularly wore suits. Complaining about informally-dressed fliers is complaining that the wrong sorts of people are flying today.

First Secretary of Defense you could defeat by painting a tunnel on the side of a boulder.

Just a guess, but I assume they're sitting fearfully and quietly in their dorms, having been threatened with prison and expulsion by their collaborationist administrators who oversaw their peers being deported to an Ecuadorian prison by the ruling government

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.

That dog is very stressed, maybe setting off some fireworks near it is a solution

After an economic crash you always see headlines like What Was Everyone Thinking? What do you mean everyone, most of us are waving our arms and screaming every day, it's a handful of insanely rich assholes who aren't listening

Every Republican president of my lifetime has destroyed the global economy and it doesn’t matter at all electorally

Yeah, guys. As we're herded and packed into a flying tube like cattle with the only way to be treated like a real person coming via a sustained commitment to paying upcharges that can only be covered by a business account, we should make sure to look nice.

Scoop: Rep. Eugene Vindman knows what Trump said on a 2019 call with the Saudi Crown Prince about Jamal Khashoggi's killing, and his effort to make it public is about to rachet up. Tomorrow, Vindman will appear alongside Khossoggi's widow to call on Trump to release the transcript

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

It's a good thing President Obama killed Osama Bin Laden because otherwise Trump would be inviting him to the White House for some goddamn hors d'oeuvres

Annie Shiel highlighted how the humanitarian sector is being stretched beyond its limits due to the effects of explosive weapons in populated areas. #StopBombingCivilians

There are like 3 “Trump helps pedos” stories JUST THIS WEEK

Look at all of this cheap shit. Now imagine the gold bling is cats. Dusty ceramic cat statues, little embroidered pictures of cats, old framed posters of cats so old the ink has faded. This is a crazy cat man but for bling.

Where are the learning loss people? It’s hard to learn at school if you’re afraid to go because the secret police might kidnap you.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance

1/ The night of the raid, Jonahyker López awoke to the sound of a helicopter over his building and federal agents yelling, “Open the door!” López told me he sat on the edge of his bed, wishing that his own door would become invisible. But the door came down and agents burst in. 🧵

Jeff Bezos received a quarter of a million from his parents in 1995 to start his online bookstore idea.

Trump's campaign to kill an industry where America runs a massive trade surplus is succeeding

Fun fact: the US sells more higher ed to China than soybeans

Re: Marge Green

Logging back on after the weekend, thankful that we all had our fun mocking Olivia Nuzzi, and now we can move onto something / someone less vapid. *Checks feed* Fuck.

It's remarkable that the number of news analyses/pundit takes that the Democrats are too extreme--out of touch, too focused on divisive cultural issues, too beholden to progressive orthodoxy--far exceeds the articles on the Trump/GOP's connections to the far right. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/u...

JD Vance setting up a fake bus stop on the White House lawn...

Newsom is the front-runner right now in exactly the same way Jeb! was the front-runner in late 2013. He has ZERO juice, but he is catnip to the juiceless opinionators who are the only people gossiping about “who is the frontrunner right now.”

Zaide just caught a body. Oh my god. Great feed from Nigel. #mubb

So what's the over / under on when a Dem politician says in the most cringey, joke-by-my-staff-that-I-don't-get way possible: "We seem to have struck a cord with the President. And it's probably A Minor."

we have a president who only does good things when everyone calls him a pedophile. our mission for the next 3 years is clear.

If the NYT told the story of the homeless teenager exploited by Matt Gaetz with even half as much empathy as it tells the story of Olivia Nuzzi, it would be in danger of committing journalism.

The only thing that's interesting about Nuzzi is the story of how an amoral careerist with no interest in policy and abysmal ethics became an acclaimed national political reporter. But rather than tell that story, the entire media seems desperate to play a part in it.

Buttry, 43, lives in a small DC rowhouse where squirrels frolic in the trees and the Dummies Guide to Multi-Level Marketing and several Amway catalogs sit on his dining room table...

True comedy is watching Dave Portnay trying to use a hammer

Wow, this site is more egregiously unethical than... -- The social network that's complicit in the Rohingya genocide -- The one that's owned by a nazi -- The ones overrun by scams (all of them) -- The ones overrun by AI slop (all of them) -- The ones handing money to Trump (all of them)

Music that may not be described in some way as "alternative." I'll never be a full-on poptimist, but a banger's a banger.

Legal citizenship should be virtually effortless to obtain and near instantaneous to process, and should be paired with sweeping grants of asylum.

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

One of the strangest things about this moment is the fact a lot of what's going on can be boiled down to people wanting country club vibes. -- Tearing apart the White House to build a banquet hall and gilding everything in gold and marble? ✔️ -- Making colleges a sanctuary for rich white people? ✔️

literally every reason you can think of that they use to not invest in clean energy (not cost effective yet, tech isnt there yet, etc) is 100% true of ai by the way, the difference is that clean energy will mean less money for rich people and ai means more money for rich people

It cannot be remembered enough that these were the same people who got worked up about drag brunches

I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

Borders should delineate legal sovereignty but should not be barriers to movement.

i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”
