I feel like Tyler is wracked with a deep internal guilt for not feeling like a real man or whatever because he’s a white collar worker, and rather than deal with that, he has decided to pretend his guilt is the actually the skeleton key to all of America’s ills. It’s so tedious.

Today is Ona Judge Day. While the United States gears up for its 250th celebration, which inevitably includes the likes of George Washington, Ona Judge made her escape on May 21, 1796. The Washington household attempted her capture several times, but she was never caught. Forever free

In a major step towards regaining public trust, the DNC has released its 2024 autopsy with the disclaimer that it was poorly done and you shouldn't trust it.

Current and former University of Texas at Dallas students are suing school leaders and police officers over their arrests while protesting the war in Gaza and for allegedly suspending the university’s chapter of a pro-Palestinian student organization.

All the freaks piloting American foreign policy now are blowing up the international rules based order because thy think the US will be on top forever. They should remember Scipio Aemilainus’ words: “A day will come when sacred Troy shall perish, And Priam and his people shall be slain.”

it is so funny that we are coming up on three years straight of "no really THIS time the president told Netanyahu no, we swear" Brandonization is a merciless force

Evangelical Bible study happening right next to me at a coffee shop and I’m reminded of this tweet because they’re literally just going “Jesus = good”

The entire capitalist class has decided that it’s worth it to debase themselves at the feet of corrupt pedophile Hitler so that they don’t have to respect Starbucks baristas with they/them pins

This is something you do right before the sexual misconduct allegations drop

If you're a Democrat and you confirm someone who refuses to unequivocally say "Joe Biden won the 2020 election," you should lose your job.

Why do students hate AI so much? Don’t they know how many jobs it is going to eliminate??

The downfall of this incredibly evil team cannot happen fast enough

Polis commuting Peters’ sentence after federal funds were threatened means it’s only a matter of time before they do this to Minnesota to get Derek Chauvin out of jail

If Trump were incompetent it would be incumbent upon the NYT to cover him like he is incompetent. To avoid this they unilaterally close off the possibility

Forget about the human impact of such a development, Does he even know that if all white collar jobs are eliminated then Microsoft collapses since it can’t sell work-related software anymore

“Was Achilles a Twink" - the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate,

If you told Thompson that we should make policy decisions to ensure that climate change doesn’t render Thailand uninhabitable in 200 years he would think that’s an unreasonable Economic burden based on too many assumptions but somehow he thinks hypocritical population decreases there matter

The news seems constantly preoccupied in figuring out if some people in a country of 300 million people have bad opinions

It’s bad when Republicans reward Republicans who help subvert elections and it’s worse when Democrats reward republicans who subvert elections

Amazon just casually recommending that I do myself a favor and check out a racist screed

The same people who tell you Trump is fighting for a democratic Iran have open disdain for democracy in the US

Quoting Nick Fuentes like he’s a moral authority, thank you CNN

JD Vance doesn’t even get top billing in this promo lmao

Very easy to find an audience on YouTube if you’re authentic, passionate about your topic and offer a unique perspective. That these knockoff Matt Yglesias types can’t gain a toehold despite the backing of Bezos bucks is an indictment of how little anyone cares

The JD Vance we have at home is talking about why we must protect McDonald’s

This is going to make third way types mewl more about Hasan but these numbers would be the exact same even if El-Sayed never went on his show

You have to understand why the court is acting so quickly here and it’s the horrifying prospect that Donald Trump may face a single consequence

I don’t think that happened. But also you can’t get mad at people protesting Israel’s presence at Eurovision as unreasonable and paranoid and then congratulate Israel for using it to advance political goals

Personally I would not be using the 1920s as a positive benchmark but that’s just me

You read about how complicit the liberal media was with the ascendance of the national socialists in Germany and it's difficult to comprehend. The thing is, I see it now and it is still difficult to comprehend. To be this stupid and gullible. To be this incompetent. To be as complicit as this.

Solving the male loneliness epidemic by encouraging them to become Maoists

Discourse about finding "the Rogan of the Left" or "the liberal answer to Fox News" rarely accounts for the reality that the entire conservative media universe is the enormously unprofitable vanity project of a few rich sociopaths. It "succeeds" because they don't care how much it costs.
