“It is the first time in nearly 500 years of history that the Church nominated a woman to lead it” Quite a moment.

Next year in Pyongyang. No money, but if they like you they let you live. You can do trans jokes but no Chili’s. #RiyadhComedyFestival

More of this. Make nazis scared again.

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Wow we should base our entire economy on this technology

It may be distasteful but it is not illegal to mock someone's death and it should not warrant arrest, ever. The 1st Amendment exists specifically to protect disfavored speech and what is happening now is one of the greatest threats to free speech in the United States.

Oh also Trump bought a woman for $22k from Epstein. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/u...

Republicans voted down releasing the Epstein files in defiance of the victim's publicly stated wishes, and the shooter is a groyper. This week's plot is so predictable.

Like, come on now. "George Droid?" "Rosa Sparks?" "Machine Lives Matter?" It sounds more like mocking the Civil Rights Movement and Black Lives Matter than making fun of AI.

"Healed is a word invented by the unbroken." jfc that is good writing.

Just saw a video of Bill Maher calling Mamdani a “straight up communist” and I continue to be struck by the depiction of policies associated with the New Deal Order as far-left extremism, which goes along with a refusal to depict Trump’s unprecedented authoritarian actions as far-right extremism.

I was just telling my girlfriend the other day that the old world is dying. And, my stars, the new world is struggling to be born. And now is the time when you meet such INNNNteresting monsters.

If you want to build a society around solidarity & non-zero-sum cooperation, you have to find a way to go around these folks, to deny them power, to develop social norms that marginalize them. You're not going to persuade or convert them.

I think it is difficult for lefties -- ok, has been difficult for me -- to really, truly absorb, on an affective level, that people like this are not mistaken about the facts. They're not confused. There's no "false consciousness" waiting for liberation. Their zero-sum values are deep & sincere.

I expect it is difficult for most people reading this to imaginatively project themselves into the mindset of someone who would take Deal 2. Why on earth would you? But friends, something like 30% of the population would take Deal 2 -- and do so, in large & small ways, every day.

Ideal time for time for gulping raw milk while chowing down raw meat to become ‘health’ trends. 🦠🧫🧪 The CDC's FoodNet program has reduced required surveillance from eight foodborne pathogens to two, a move some experts warn could leave the country more vulnerable to outbreaks. t.co/EYwLZ9YkM2

Cuts to Indian Country services will have an impact on New Mexico Nations, Pueblos and Tribes, members of the state's Indian Affairs department told lawmakers Thursday.

In a significant policy shift following the firing and departure of over 100 immigration judges, the Department of Justice announced Wednesday that temporary immigration judges will no longer need to have experience in immigration law.

Let me introduce Catelin Drey, or I should say Senator Catelin Drey. She just flipped a blood red Iowa Senate seat in her victory yesterday. We talk about this and more on Coffee With Texas Paul, LIVE at 11 am Eastern today. Join us!

We should ban it full stop.

This story is heartbreaking. As you think about how you use AI and how we ought to regulate it, read this and then dive in a brief discussion on ethics, the law and AI (thread): www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...

Hahahahahahaha this is why you need designers looking at your ai slop.

Third recall this week related to Cesium-137 in frozen shrimp. Still no explanation beyond apparently sloppy standards in the production facility. Or we might speculate, very, very sloppy standards.

Oohhh I finally feel like react makes some sense. I was really struggling this past couple weeks to get it. Shout-out to this guy for making a tutorial that is sufficiently long and involved to get this syntax in my muscle memory. youtu.be/ifOJ0R5UQOc?...

Republicans: disappear people off the streets and rendition them to El Salvador, crash the economy, build concentration camp in the Everglades, declare martial law in DC, eliminate cancer and vaccine research, align with Russia, disenfranchise Black people, tank in the polls Political pundits:

I've been think, ripped, fat, and average. And you know what had almost no impact on any of those body conditions? How much I ate. When I was thin I drank tons of soda and ate constantly. I was just a teenager. When I was ripped I ate A LOT. I'm fat currently, and I eat less than I ever have.
