Spirit Halloween has the chance to do the absolute funniest thing tomorrow afternoon at a lot of airport terminals.

"What does it profit a man to gain the world, but lose his soul?"

"Your honor, my first exhibit for my Motion to Dismiss for Selective and Vindictive Prosecution is the Acting AG expressly stating that this is selective prosecution and that he personally pushed it after the confirmed AG was fired for not pushing it hard enough and career line prosecutors refused."

One of the most clarifying passages I've ever read on what "polarization" actually means in the U.S."

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

Remember when the final episode was about how they initiated runaway climate catastrophe via unrestrained capitalism, heralded by keystone species extinction that was handwaved away in the name of "progress" Then it was strongly implied they all died Ha ha ha

TIL Taylor Lorenz is/was on Bluesky

every few months, americans are asked to resume their banquet and pretend a shooting didn't just happen

Holy crap, guys. His approval rating is down 300%.

a criminal conviction isn’t required to say someone does not have the moral character to run for office and i don’t understand why this needs to be said over and over and over again.

Sigh, every time I go to Costco with my wife for one or two things I end up with some new project like a raised bed or a pergola or having to massacre all the Jedi.

I've seen lots of people dragging this guy this morning, but to be fair, none of these lifemaxxing dudes have ever had a chance to obtain this data before

Project Hail Bloody Mary

While Pitchbot is A+ satire, this is actually pretty close to true.

How being a loyal member of the regime always ends up

Or, to put it more bluntly: "Rich people could pay less in taxes if only women would do more unpaid labor at home."

Other countries need to re-open the Strait... that was only closed because of a war we launched unilaterally, because we've accomplished our objectives, which 33 days in we finally have been sort of kind of told what they are by Rambly McDementiaface. I've said it all along: there is no plan.

What in the actual fuck was that

quite clearly, there is no plan, this speech was hollow on addressing real challenges with the Strait, leaving it to others, and there is no reason to expect the Strait will reopen anytime soon. no plan- no concern- this will likely start to push oil prices back up.

I have three smallish bears and this is the most relatable thread I have read in months.

Ok, has anyone else gotten their No Kings check? I've been to like three of these things and so far I haven't gotten anything. I feel like Fox News might be lying about this.

Not many people know this, but I studied dad jokes in undergrad. Got a minor in sighcology

We are estimating more than 200,000 people at the flagship No Kings rally in the Twin Cities. #NoKings

This guy's tweet just remains undefeated like the "everyone is twelve now" theory guy.

Chili is an American curry eaten without rice. Discuss.

Even the best prep (green energy or disaster or really anything) is at best a softening of the initial blow when crisis hits. No one is fully insulated.

Man if I had a nickel for every time I got in my car and randomly woke up in a Waffle House with no idea how I got there... I wouldn't have any nickels but if that happened I would probably think about finding an AA meeting before claiming it was teleportation.

I care about winning and also I care about not being a trash human. I will do a lot to accomplish the former but I draw the line at compromising on the latter

Materializing nude from a bolt of lightning in 2005 to show my younger self this image

I was there, that damn near worked.

That is, uh, not how legal writing works.

"of course he didn't do Venezuela for oil, they have a decaying extraction infrastructure that would require massive capital investments that no prudent corporation would make in a destabilized nation" Ok your mistake here is thinking these guys check these things

To be fair, when they said these things are like PhD students now, they really were telling the truth: Lots of anxiety, ✔️ Uncertainty about their level of consciousness, ✔️

Laugh cry in current news cycle

The two parties are not the same. But god DAMN do the Dems try to disabuse me of that notion some days.

Look, as much as I generally like Costco and support them as a company generally, can we let this idea that they held the line on prices during the tariff fight die? I do our budgeting and meal planning. Prices for my Costco staples are up 10-20%, especially sugar.

When one Fetterman gets kicked out the door, another one climbs through the window.

The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it we slammed into a horizon painted on a brick wall like fucking looney tunes

Man, when I asked to have my youth of 2003 back, I really didn't think the genie was actually just going to give me new episodes of Scrubs, Pokemon everywhere, and invading the middle east

These fucking assholes

Guess we gotta go conquer the world before the Claude subscription runs out

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance. Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

We made Jimmy Carter put his peanut farm in a blind trust.

I made a paper airplane out of a sheet of work letterhead, but no matter what I can't get it to fly. I've tried everything, but no matter what, it remains stationary.

When you think about it, Karl Urban did a great job of playing Bones in the new Star Trek, truly adopting and building on the performance of DeForest Kelly. So it's really backwards of what we've always been told by the environmentalists: DeForestation leads to Urbanization

Ok, so Trump's out there already trying to reimpose tariffs under a different authority. Not great, but less worrisome:
