Count your blessings. @theonion.com

really is incredible how often "men are having a problem, let's fix it using someone else's entire life" comes up. does the institute for family studies understand that children are whole complete human beings whose existence cannot be used as a coping mechanism for their fathers' anxieties? (no)

Should we expect stock prices to rise by another 280 percent, like, immediately? Sure why not. www.ft.com/content/a7f1...

The FT Alphaville piece by @tobyn.bsky.social that the quote is from is an outstanding example of how productive it can be to take an obviously silly idea, and carefully work through why it is silly and how someone might nonetheless come to believe it. I learned a lot from it!

Everything wrong with political journalism in one graf. This is not a policy proposal that exists but that doesn’t matter, what matters is that someone “won” by asking it bsky.app/profile/larr...

BREAKING NEWS FROM THE PAPER OF RECORD: YOUTHS TUNING OUT TEACHER; BORED BY CLASS. RECESS AND LUNCH OUTPERFORM HISTORY

Oddly enough, in media coverage of Dems' video warning against carrying out illegal orders, there's very little discussion of *whether it's actually reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal commands or not.* The evidence is strong that he is. Media should say so: newrepublic.com/article/2035...

Can’t stop watching this guy get Silent Movie Slapsticked to death and then still making a play

RIP Udo Kier. it was fucked up when that future Yakuza guy sliced you up with a laser whip like a human tomato in Johnny Mnemonic (1995)

She has it exactly backwards. The domestic deployments to date are a much weaker case for being so manifestly illegal as to justify refusal; that's a high bar. The boat strikes are outright unambiguous murder, everyone in that chain down to the one pulling the trigger has had a clear duty to refuse.

"Never trust woo woos" has been my guiding principle in life and has literally never once let me down lol

so many people thought they were taking the temperature of America when they were actually marinating their brain in an artificially constructed fake reality on their phones

Every single time small-L liberal scholars, which is a broad enough category to include many from right to left, promote credal or civic nationalism it doesnt work. It's just laying claim to half of something and wishing that was all it ever was or ought to be. But nationalism will never be theirs.

Not a real thing, a nation is conceived with an "ethnicity" in mind or it creates one for itself. This isn't me coming for Wood on his knowledge of Early America, that would be stupid, merely a paraphrase of what I understand scholars whose purview is nationality and nations would say in response.

Every time

Amazing incorrect lyrics on the karaoke machine yesterday

I fully understand what was announced to the public but I started working there 4 years after this and a) the original motto was part of orientation and delivered to us by Cox himself and b) there are still Move Fast Break Things posters on the walls as of the time I left (which was this year).

There was civilization in the Americas before the settlers arrived. The other work being performed here is to erase that and present settlement as the arrival of civilization instead of the annihilation of another

this is a hate crime

I feel like a lot of us in the comedy world failed the world at large when we stayed silent despite knowing all about Cosby and Louis so let me say right now that Steve Martin has eaten one banjo a year for the last 25 years

It would also give *Ryan Lizza*—who could, in theory, have leaked this info at any point over the last 12-16 months—a role in both RFK’s appointment and the untold preventable deaths. But Lizza either isn’t self aware enough to realize that or is too busy selling Substack subscriptions to care

this is one of my favorite far sides. it’s silky and has an even greater hallucinatory quality than his usual stuff and it just gets me every time, but i rarely see it listed among the best of the strip

probably feels pretty nice to forget what the Bush 2 era was like, but if you dwell on it forever there's way more jokes in Arrested Development

Every article by a 'savvy' political analyst reads like a focus group transcript with a low-information voter. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I am once again calling for the adoption of a "tough on crime" agenda against the grifters, scammers, and quacks deranging American society. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

Which journalist will let slip that "catch-and-kill" is just an normal part of elite source cultivation, you fool, you imbeciles who have no idea how real journalism worke

Every day of his miserable life Trump is shuttled between rooms by a series of viziers who all look like a racist version of Dobby to talk to women who all got the same surgery to look like Skyrim NPCs and here comes this communist who look…he look so beautiful

They said banging RFK Jr is fine, but we draw the line at Mark Sanford

Now there’s a curiously phrased nondenial. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/s...

lmao

there are about a million different incentives for Zohran to play this the way he did, it's very funny that there's basically no reason for Trump to behave this way except that 1. he loves celebrities 2. is obsessed with being liked in New York City and 3. was clearly charmed... and that worked

I felt like I was losing my mind watching this person's remarks and had to write about how disgusting they are.

Everybody's trying a little Enron these days

TRUMP: globalize the intifadata. you’re hearing it more and more. globalize the infante. it’s a beautiful term. i think i may have just coined it. i’m not sure. but you’re hearing it more and more.

My favorite piece of content today.

Everyone at the NY Post is borderline illiterate. The very first sentence! nypost.com/2025/11/20/u...

this insistence that she is some preternatural journalistic talent is going to drive me insane

Fusion centers were “involved in monitoring pro-Palestine demonstrations on at least five campuses across the country, as shown in more than 20,000 pages of documents obtained via public records requests exposing U.S. universities’ playbooks for cracking down on pro-Palestine student activism.”
