The feeling of having known something to be true, deep within your very being, only to have it confirmed as such. There's just nothing like it: defector.com/jeffrey-epst...

someone waited their ENTIRE LIFE to write that headline...

pov: you just asked if i’m having a good day

public disorder is such a stupid topic online because there's a moron polarization between "someone jacking off next to you on public transit is just da' big city baby" and "I was made a to see a disheveled person. liquidate the vermin classes in camps."

Kurt Vonnegut stop being so applicable to all time periods of American life, you can’t do that Kurt Vonnegut, your insights are too evergreen Kurt Vonnegut

Slayer - Reigny Day Women #12 & 35

let the llm provider that hasn't been directly linked to a dozen suicides and one mass shooting with a product that is vastly more hazardous in this way than competitors throw the first stone

A tribute to Al Pacino!

he looks like henry bowers right after looking directly into IT’s deadlights

An important thing to realize about the Supreme Court's tariff decision is that the conservatives who ruled against Trump are convinced they are doing him a political favor by doing so.

The Supreme Court:

can't reasonably discount 'nuking iran in a fit of pique' as the backup plan

Enshittification is everywhere. The Supreme Court costs as much as it ever did, but now you don't even get the ruling you paid for.

The reason you don't just doge a federal bureaucracy is because government is serious business for serious people and when you try to run it like a meme you end up publishing regs in the federal register only to withdraw them 24 hours later and in the process damaging institutional credibility.

This is one of those things I could talk about for hours. The pay-to-play model of youth sports is a scourge. Rec leagues are dying because everyone thinks their kid is going to make it to The League, and there are plenty of "travel" teams willing to take their money and string them along

*bob dylan voice* you know that SOMETIMES SATAN sits on the board of PEACE

eddington was a documentary

*meeting a gay couple for the first time* so which one of you is the primary relationship holder

I doubt that there's a more effective way to capture unitary executive theory in an image. And because it's the DOJ building, it also captures the notion that the President is above the law.

boys of summer pros: written by mike campbell, arranged and produced with mike campbell, guitars by mike campbell, solo by mike campbell, haunting melody, beautiful video, captured the zeitgeist perfectly cons: don fucking henley

the nancy guthrie stuff is crazy but ultimately it’s none of my business

we couldn't use government funds to buy coffee (like, folgers ground coffee) when i worked on a CDC outbreak emergency response

Tyranny NIMBYs are real, and they vote

a key plank of vapingbaby thought is that any big city mayor that is serious about reforming their local PD will need a non-cop security detail if they expect to survive the process

It is notable that Andrew has been arrested for "misconduct in public office", which is precisely what the US Supreme Court decided no American president can ever be charged with.

There really isn’t a much better scene in a movie than when Tom Hagan describes Frankie Five Angels suicide for him while he’s protected by the feds.

From what I remember from 2020 during the George Floyd protests, because some idiot set a small fire somewhere, we can now claim that Minneapolis was burned to the ground by ICE supporters, right?

to be frank i don't think gmail has any idea what a spam email is anymore

At this point every conservative is a suspected child molester, but a cartoonishly evil conservative in a double breasted suit and a bow tie is a shoot on sight, check his house for underground dungeons suspected child molester

The more I think about the DC press slagging AOC for a lack of FP depth while Donald Trump is President, twice, is making me angry enough to explode. The fuck is wrong with the journalists that they're like this

Wishing a meaningful & reflective Mark Wahlberg 40 Day Challenge to all who observe.

it is obviously true that there's bigotry of various kinds among the unwashed masses but, despite what the decorum demands of class apparently have some of y'all believing, this is very obviously a feature that the rulers and the ruled have in common

lol come to think of it, “The left hasn’t yet discovered the existence of primaries” is actually a pretty good theory with a lot explanatory power in American politics

jesus even shakespeare can’t shut up about no phish tour dates today

Just like the narratives around trans rights and racial justice, this framing constructs "activists" as unreasonable, radical and holding all the power. "Do you know how mean fat activists are if you lose weight?" Do you know how mean everyone else is if you don't?!

It absolutely smelled crazy in there

going to west virginia for the day often feels as trippy as taking actual drugs

Incredible inclusion of the rare urban sicko...

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back. Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

The arrest rate among CBP agents is higher than the arrest rate among undocumented immigrants.

🚨In December 2016, Epstein invited Bill Gates to his island and informed him that “new administration people” were visiting. This was sent exactly one month before Trump was inaugurated for his first term.
