No contest (though it needs to be said that the Stranger Things ending was basically perfect):

Going great!

Sometimes I think about January 6th and how the guy who did it didn't go to prison and how instead he was allowed to run for president again and allowed to win the election again and serve as president again and how we are living in an utterly failed state and continue to pretend otherwise. Y'know?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lol this fucking asshole

Ah yes, my favorite annual January 6th tradition - The media falling for grifter Pam Hemphill's bullshit con once again

I'd also be interested to know more about the specific year in its history when America was healthy

We overanalyze the How They Got That Way question far too frequently, because so often the answer is that they absorbed and internalized shit like this at a young age and were never once asked to or found cause to ever question it.

According to a DOJ filing, Mr. Maduro has claimed to have attended the School of Hard Knocks, though no documentation appears to exist to substantiate such a claim.

I like George. I think he's smart and insightful, and I thought that when he was a rabble-rousing conservative. But we need more from former Republicans than simply never-Trumpism. I'm tired of people who feel abandoned by the right thinking they can just slide into the Democratic Party.

I was adult for both 9/11 and Jan. 6 and of the two worst days in America in my lifetime, for so many reasons in both the immediate term and long term, the latter was worse.

It is not entirely surprising that this is the foreign policy of the pro-rape movement

Everything is QAnon now

Doing work is objectively less fun than yelling made up bullshit on a podcast

CPB vs continuing to exist

I know we get caught up in the absurdity of Trump winning the Nobel Peace Prize, but we shouldn't do so at the expensive of remembering the Nobel Peace Prize is actual trash. Like a complete fucking joke with a durable brand name. That's it.

That fucking graphic is straight out of The Onion back when The Onion was funny and reality wasn't indistinguishable from satire

And by this one very specific metric he is doing fucking great

EVEN IF IT WERE TRUE SINCE WHEN DO CONSERVATIVES BLAME DEATHS ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE PERSONAL CHOICES PEOPLE MAKE?!?!?!?! I'm losing my fucking mind.

Fuck the West

Of all the Intercept crew who turned out to be massive disappointments, Scahill hits hardest

Agree or disagree with the plague, you can't help but be in awe of the plague

Yeah he means "in charge" in the way he means he's in charge of the US: not in charge but entitled to take whatever the fuck he wants for himself

Oh man Trump is going to feel so owned when he realizes he forgot to focus on lowering costs for the American people!

No. No. No. Punitive processes make narrowly targeted programs *less* efficient and *more* costly. Because more scrutiny requires more bureaucracy. Punitive processes also make it *less* likely that people will get aid for which they qualify. Because of the roadblocks and stigma scrutiny creates.

Oh I'm sorry was this patently obvious fact still up for debate?

You can save this post and mock me for it when the time comes but here's my prediction: Marjorie Taylor Greene will be the 2028 Republican nominee for president

Narrator: "He stopped."

Some people shouldn't be allowed to post things on the internet. I just...

Good time to remember that Trump's *only documented opposition to the invasion of Iraq* insofar as one actually exists is that we didn't "go in there and take the oil"

Oh I'm sorry did you think that when they told you it was now the Department of War that they were signaling their commitment to diplomacy and non-interventionism?

Yes they are absolute cowards but on the other hand at least they are also profoundly wrong and stupid

The Terminator franchise was overly optimistic

We're very close to the end of the "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" Republican party and the dawn of the "AI doesn't kill people, people kill people" Republican party

Sometimes it's not a distraction. Sometimes it's a guy who genuinely loves to bomb stuff and kill people and wants to control the world.

I don't like the war crimes part but on the bright side no one will ever do cocaine again

That's a yes.

"Tonight we celebrate the United States committing war crimes for reasons I personally like..."

CAMELOT (2011) Brilliant take on Arthurian lore, written by Chris Chibnall, superb cast (Jamie Campbell Bower as Arthur, Eva Green as Morgan, and a wild Joseph Fiennes take on Merlin) Canceled because it was too expensive and Game of Thrones came along and overshadowed it.

Very successful brilliant operation

So we have to deport the worst of the worst criminals to other countries because I guess our legal system can't handle them but if they're the worst of the worst of worst criminals we have to invade those other countries and bring them here so our legal system can handle them. Do I have that right?

Terrible news - the dumb QAnon lady is on the right side of history again

If you think they're stopping with Venezuela you're fucking insane

Getting my daily update from Captain Panaka on how things are going in America:

Republican media illiteracy remains undefeated

Really didn't need the second descriptor there but I'll take it

Congratulations! You have been liberated by the United States of America! Please surrender all your stuff and autonomy.

Please invade us, ffs

Our beloved and cherished 51st state

Nigel Farage straight up saying "this is a crime, which is good actually" sure is something
