Trailer from Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) New York Times called it “Marital Armageddon.” My spouse said yeah, armageddon tired of being married to you. youtu.be/ppeMfoKdbAY?...

Some people say we lost our way when we legalized gambling but the real fall from grace was losing the hegemonic monoculture of Homestar Runner online

Is it just me or is this totally inscrutable to anyone whose brain isn't already fried?

probably my most authoritarian opinion is that there should be a large scale crackdown on so-called "alternative medicine"

If you're a normal person taking bathroom or makeup selfies bc you feel cute, you should just stop. Return to tradition, share it with your friends on group texts. Any public photo is now fuel for the Porn Machine. If your career/hobby involves sharing pics of yourself, it just sucks.

elon musk knows about the sexual harassment and CSAM generating bot he’s created and he likes it and endorses it! pedocon rapist theory

*guy who only knows one thing about John Paul II voice* Catholicism is about free markets

Republicans: *do something evil and stupid* Media: Why would Washington do this?

yes! he does! just because he can articulate it in ways that don’t make you roll your eyes the way you do when a college kid is making a degraded version of the spiel doesn’t mean he doesn’t believe it!

Folks, she brought a whole plate of spaghetti to the broadcast center to do her headshot. She then houses that spaghetti. Mattia sips on an espresso during his. Truly the heroes we need during these times.

Mamdani really did just describe exactly a guy like him and his job and they can’t process it like Rumpelstiltskin being told his name no issue

jayden you booger mom signed an executive order saying it’s my turn on the switch

I do think the pro Israel people understand within 10 years, Israel will have no allies outside of Russia and China and that Israel will be universally hated in the US very soon, but they genuinely do not understand persuasion so they don't know how to pivot.

Interesting that mamdani is beyond the pale but an out and out white supremacist is deemed to have poignant insights about the untermenschen

think James is right and, to their credit, the bluesky tech people who work with LLMs have convinced me it's useful for writing code. but it's never sold to the rest of us as a way to automate small tasks you can't afford to hire a coder to do, it's sold as plagiarism-machine-job-stealer

Mamdani is out here reducing crime on day one.

glad to see that my “lyman stone gives off hitler particles” intuition was correct

Was just thinking that Gone With the Wind will be public domain in 6 years. Considering the tantrum the Mitchell estate threw about The Wind Done Gone, I think you all know what to do with that information.

Millennials/Early Zoomer left-liberals are living in a philosophical Burned Over District in the 1850s. Send skeet.

zohran quoting and then rejecting "the era of big government is over," the line that captured the zenith of clintonian neoliberalism, is highly symbolic

The CBC's Faustian Alliances with Reactionaries deserve more airtime than they get.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Starting an adult with Andor is crazy. Imagine hearing about the Emperor in meetings and then three or four movies later you find out he looks a thousand years old and shoots lightning out of his little T Rex arms.

The thing about illegitimacy is that if some putative office-holder is illegitimate, that has, y'know, consequences. Implications.

No matter where we go from here I cannot believe we, as DSA, in under 10 years of reconstitution, elected a guy to govern the most important city in the world that says in his inaugural speech: “I was elected as a democratic socialist and I will govern as a democratic socialist.”

It is a little funny that some people, they are now mostly still on Twitter, genuinely miss and think it was better when DSA was a glorified Harringtonite book club

- Create an entire ethos around the global village and enlightenment that you use every single piece of children's media to steep an entire generation in - Artificially suppress the resulting political ideology until that generation reaches middle age - Be shocked that we want socialism

I feel like focusing on NYC as a concept as a defense of multicultural representative democracy is giving me such potent "the 90s are still alive" hits that are making my fucking Global Information Village-ass Millennial brain go fucking RABID with optimism

Release the Sifo-Dyas files!

"There will be Palestinian New Yorkers in Bay Ridge who will no longer have to contend with a politics of universalism and then makes them the exception" receives ovation.

Also it shouldn't be dismissed that the norm up until now was that the Mayor of NYC was *expected* to visit Israel, and to promote municipal relations between NYC and Israel cities; and privilege Israeli academic institutions, and so on and so forth. This isn't considered odd bc it was status quo.

basically every serious historian of hitler falls somewhere on the spectrum of “insanely lucky and lazy loser who was good at being evil” to “absolute moron fuckup who was only going to end the way he did.” there are no serious historians who would say “hitler was a genius, period.”

The hater becomes a waiter at the table of success

Hit my annual Goodreads goal … by adding all the picture books I read to my baby. Still counts!

"As for Tom, the fact that he “had some woman in New York” was really less surprising than that he had been depressed by a book. Something was making him nibble at the edge of stale ideas as if his sturdy physical egotism no longer nourished his peremptory heart."

Imagine that this was your heritage—a civilizational project stretching across generations and ethnicities, dedicated to freeing the world—and then you’re like, “No, I’m a conservative, I don’t want that. America is stored in the balls.”

We are *all* Real America in the same way a naturalized citizen who took his oath five seconds ago is exactly as much of a citizen as someone whose ancestors came over on the Mayflower.

Wonder if politicians are ever going to notice that Mechahitler has become a CSAM generator or can musk just do no wrong

My globalism instantaneously leaves my entire body when Europeans start talking shit about America

Going into 2026 like...

Honestly, I just really do appreciate how he and Anderson Cooper get to present an unvarnished and messy middle-aged gay friendship year after year. It's some of the best representation out there.

New York City is the Leningrad of America

the dixie chicks were treated very unfairly

The Bush years were wild, man. You'd see some graffiti that said "Merry CRISIS and a happy new FEAR" and people acted like it was the most insightful thing ever.

this, to me, is blueskyism

I am once again demanding the moderate, pro- American part of the heterosexual community denounce, reject, encounter violent extremism in their own community
