This is so insane.

He's a man who wants to be a sister-wife guy. It hits different.

It's interesting that centrist pundits never land on centrist positions like "tough on [white collar] crime". I think the reason for that is centrist pundit types are disproportionately those who benefit from elite networks. They are distinct from centrist voters this way.

It's not hard to figure out what the @nytimes.com ownership and editors care about and believe, we're just all supposed to pretend otherwise because they've convinced you that being willfully stupid is an important journalistic norm.

Although the Gaza ceasefire bars “all military operations” in Gaza, the IDF has interpreted that *not* to include neighborhood demolition operations on its side of the Yellow Line (which includes Rafah and most of Khan Younis) and it has demolished 1,500+ buildings in the past month, BBC finds.

The children yearn for the poultice

Cat interrupting call for cuddles better be prepared for cuddles on ape terms

It's probably not something anybody would have standing to challenge, but a straightforward case could be made this violates the 27th Amendment. By limiting it to only senators, the value of this cause of action is thus a perk, a kind of 'compensation,' granted simply because they're senators.

I'm sick and feverish, which suggests that I should lay on couch and watch a bad movie. But it may very well be the last day of bright orange leaves, as winter (50 degree high) starts tomorrow. Which suggests that I should power through it and go on a walk in the woods.

Unironically, this is a sign that China excels at rapid innovation and iterating product lines

Let's look at this for the opportunity it is - for everyone to learn the original (and preferred) meaning of the term "emotional labor"

Bowser voted Kamala and is a pronoun respecter, but Wario definitely voted Trump.

One interesting thing about Woke Bill Kristol is that he hasn't, to my knowledge, gone on an apology tour. People accept him as the ally of the moment he is, because we believe he is sincere in hating these people will every fiber of his being.

China is not a democracy in that sense that it holds elections. It's not even a democracy in the sense that it really holds fake elections. China's propaganda line is that it's a "democracy" because it's responsive to public opinion or something, but they don't really push it that hard.

a perfect example. rod dreher: a person who projects his entirely personal neuroses onto the world, and believes there is a great struggle of heterosexuality against homosexuality that must be waged zealously. it's good that we make fun of people doing this, actually bsky.app/profile/fool...

i will give rod dreher one point. in a world full of men posting about how women are sexy and it makes them angry, he posts about how men are sexy and it makes him angry. and also, doesn't seem to know that's what he's posting

Also, you need to demonstrate that no, it was not the US as a whole that intentionally abandoned you, it was an insane, illegitimate executive who also abandoned and betrayed the entire country. And once we deal with this insane regime, we will come back, free food and pharmaceuticals in hand.

My love language is making you watch a movie I’ve made part of my personality and then quietly seething at you as you gradually lose interest and begin to play on your phone more and more

Trump doesn't know about the money-printing machine, and it's important no one tell him

Japan - 1 Libertarians - 0

Sandwiches back in the arsenal, guys

The single biggest question in American law today is: Are lies a get-out-of-laws-free card? Can the government simply lie to grant itself new powers? And is everyone else under an obligation to act as if obvious lies are true, or at minimum, that they might have merit and deserve respect?

Jury deadlocked: just how offensive IS the smell of onions from an exploded sandwich? One holdout juror insists "very", while another recounts confused folklore of effect of onions on vampires, to mystification of others

Rolling the dice on who gets to see their parents this Thanksgiving. Hopefully I will be in the 90%!

The youths: excited about election of an earnest, charismatic young politician with fresh ideas. Me: excited about election of an AG who hates Republicans as much as I do We are not the same.

in a welcome surprise, “we fucking hate taxes” apparently carrying the day in the tariffs case and it looks like they’re going down I’m not used to this much good news in a row I don’t know what to do with my hands

Doing a NCR run in New Vegas in honor of this result

Long ago, this is what Bugs Bunny did to NYC:

it’s nine PM on the east coast and polls have closed bring me the head of andrew cuomo

Cat's like, "at last, the human chose a decent bedtime" Bad news for him, I'm just gloat-posting and will get up to make dinner shortly

The winning Democratic message in 2025:

At long last, Republicans will be hunted as foretold by the prophecy

Jones spoke to voters in a way Harris did not, is the takeaway.

The easiest explanation is that Trump doesn’t want SNAP benefits to go out. He enacted the largest cuts to SNAP in history in July. He illegally paid the military despite having no funding — but it defying a court order mandating that he pay SNAP benefits when there is funding. The man hates SNAP.

I remember seeing my teacher at the grocery store one time when I was a kid. It was so weird! But I loved Mr. Pyramid of Oranges.

A friend posts on FB that the retail store he manages was just hit with a phone scam where someone called impersonating a vendor and telling an employee to update an account number. Would have been a 20K scam but their internal controls caught it.

This implies the federal government also must take a formal position on whether a burrito is a sandwich

Jesus Christ. How long is it going to take politicians to figure out that you can't just endlessly ramp up punitiveness to suppress something that there's a huge amount of demand for? It didn't work for weed, and it won't work for immigration.

You remember that GOP congressional rep that was in dementia care for six months and no one noticed? Massie was fully switched out and no one noticed - until now.

They don't have the nerve to cancel Christmas - so they're trying to cancel Thanksgiving.

Anecdotal evidence of touch-the-stove success. This voter took benefits for granted, dismissed every warning about Trump, bought into lies that he wants to help regular people, and only now, seeing Trump take away benefits she personally values, is reconsidering. Sucks that it had to be this way.

Still fairly surprised other countries didn't try harder to poach scientists from the US. Was sort of a golden window that doesn't come often

My sister got an MRI and it took 75 minutes. Be like a cat. If the doctor asks you if you have nerve pain, just lie.

The right has correctly identified the professional-managerial class as the class with the most revolutionary potential in the current period and have directed all their energies to destroy it before it becomes aware of itself and its own power

Sure, the paladin companion in Outer Worlds 2 seems like a righteous, honorable guy. But has he objected to the PC's rabid kleptomania? Not one word, as I steal scrap from refugees.

Fwiw, it’s nice to have a place to chat during a live event. That was one of the things that Twitter was great for. Before the dark times. Before the empire.

You can start making evidence again in 14 minutes. Stay strong, guys!

This is deeply insane.

Conservative intelligentsia is divided: should the Right covertly court Nazis, or do so openly?
