Dropout uploading a YT short of Elon Musk's daughter calling Lindsey Graham "chopped" today is just very funny

"I was struck by how, in Graham’s telling, Trump was a big, fat mark."

I don't disagree with what Yglesias is saying here but like, the entire problem of politics is getting other people to do what you want. Saying "I would simply have a big tent and make my members pander to the center to get votes" is like...ok? Good luck with that?

occam's razor is that this was a prank mcconnell was doing which he discontinued as soon as lindsey graham died on account of it becoming distasteful, like when Mr Peanut's rebirth was stalled due to the inopportune demise of kobe bryant

I will concede if we get an electoral landslide on par with the one that Peter Magyar managed to achieve we can get a dismantling of Trumpism that resembled what happened to Orban. There is no evidence we're getting anything like that.

The enmity between Star Fox (led by Fox McCloud) and Star Wolf (led by Wolf O'Donnell) presage the continuation of Scottish-Irish interethnic tensions in a Fully Automated Luxury Furry Space Communist future

It's definitely slow-paced even for its era. Compare it to something like Charlotte's Web or The Sword In The Stone or Little House in the Big Woods and you'll see a difference in attention span needed to eg listen to it read aloud.

I largely agree with this. There will be many people that don’t get held to account. I think the next Dem president will have to reserve political capital for going after the most egregious examples of corruption/lawlessness to make an example but it will never feel like enough.

I think the thing that really pisses people on BlueSky off about Dem Senators saying nice things about Lindsey Graham is that it punctures this weird myth that there's gonna be some sort of purge of Trumpism at the end of this.

The real hot take about all of this is that Illumination is antisemitic for suggesting that Napoleon was the most evil person in the world in the early 1800s.

Minions commuting back and forth between Cambodia and the US state department in the mid-1970s:

Dave Ramsey is a hack who is bad at his job

“He was booked to win another term in the Senate but Mossad pulled the biggest shoot in history. Many people are saying it’s the biggest screwjob ever. Certainly bigger than Montreal.”

Least fake reddit post

My coauthor Jay Falk's postdoctoral fellowship was terminated by the Trump administration for documenting the hummingbird example in this paper.

cui bono

This can be said about literally any wild animal attack ever and people like this should really just find a local predator to feed

Lindsey Graham Platner

On his deathbed he whispered "Mitch McConnell lives"

A little on the nose nypost.com/2026/07/09/u...

Some people get mad when Illumination keeps worldbuilding about which evil people the Minions didn't serve but I hope they never stop. Like I want to hear about how they were actually nowhere near Los Angeles in August 1969.

victory lapping on this one

Filling out a survey for my 6yos teacher and she's reading it over my shoulder He: What does 'nonbinary' mean? (Pronounces it non-binniry") Me: some kids don't feel like boys or like girls, so they'd be called nonbinary. Her: Okay. *Long pause*. So then what's "other"? Me:

I have even more incredible updates about the case of the Sea World patron struck by a duck that might in fact have been a snowy egret: Plaintiff contends that Sea World has provided the snow egret corpse despite knowing that it was in fact a duck that struck her.

So, from reading Inverting the Pyramid on my husband's suggestion, one thing I took away from it is that soccer, much more than any American sport, has truly bizarre levels of cultural baggage basically everywhere it's played.

He definitely would not. Giannis is 6'11". Haaland is 6'5".

“A moose is not a beaver” is the kind of sentence I dream of getting to write in a pleading

Congratulations to the UK on advancing to the semis

I repeat

Why don't soccer players shoot the ball under the crossbar, are they stupid?

Jude Bellingham, another nepo baby

Personally, as the protagonist of reality, I'm expecting a Morgan Rogers 25-yeard bomb to decide this game.

Someone said it looks like a suburban Thai restaurant lol

It’s not my best friend Haaland’s fault that he’s bigger and stronger than these lads

it remains fascinating that you keep hearing from manosphere types that women need to stop going to college in order to get married doesn't seem like that's the issue 🤔

England have two parties competing to control the right wing position you say?

It's just that there are way more food options than there were in 1995 so no one is going out for chain pizza. "It's expensive" their medium pizzas are like $9. "They should bring back the BookIt program" they still have it, dummy "Private Equity ruined it" it got sold to PE three weeks ago

if all we need to forgive the perpetrator of a sex crime (raping a 9 yr old) is for the victim to write a letter saying he should be pardoned, oh boy progressives and Tim Walz have lost the plot.

How do you expect retired people to pay for anything?

Gonna be really embarrassing when a mysterious cleanshaven man named Pram Glatner secures the nomination

Yeah I know someone last name Test who has spent his life getting his airline and hotel bookings canceled

Oh lord

I have told this story before but I have a friend whose policy is to give B-s in cases of academic integrity violations bc the elite university in Baltimore that he teaches at allows students to retake courses if they get a C+ or below.

Only tangentially relevant but it's funny how PodJon Favreau always mentions that his mom is a teacher but not that his dad was the President of a major data center hardware company

It's illegal to pump your own

Big old day of posting in the posting mines. Lots of controversial opinions like “Erling Haaland is very good.” And “Erling Haaland is a big part of what Norway are in the World Cup quarterfinals.” Got lots of people riled up.

Ok but what if the stochastic parrots are actually really good at math too
