hey, remember: don't eat anything and don't breathe

Like most people, I always thought it would be neat if we had a more exciting food supply

The US is in the midst of explosive diarrhea, an ongoing elective war in Iran, and a massive air quality crisis. That's why the President is giving a prime time speech about the 2020 election.

it's the biggest technological revolution of our lifetimes and you almost never hear about it (because it threatens to bankrupt many of the fossil fuel interests who currently run our society)

Yet another Kalshi offering that serves no legitimate economic purpose. It's not possible to make a rational bet on this without material non-public information. It's a market solely for fraud by both regulators and corporate insiders, and everyone connected to it in any way should go to prison.

this administration is so corrupt even the teleprompter guy is making six figures on insider trading

It’s a baby bath World Cup final

The news is always "This absolute fool was dismantled in hearings today. He is manifestly unqualified for the position and would be an existential danger if confirmed. Disaster. He is set to be confirmed immediately." When you ask why everyone is furious and exhausted all the time, this is why.

This administration “accidentally” destroying the emancipation proclamation is almost too on the nose.

Smoke forecast for tomorrow afternoon. Seems lovely.

"Holy shit"

When guys are like “that’s not rape, all my friends have done that,” that’s exactly what we’re talking about. That’s the problem. Rape is so common and unpunished that a guy could casually reveal all his friends are rapists and not see it as a problem.

the food safety stuff is another reminder that a large, huge, gigantic part of being a republican is going “lmao why are we spending money to prevent horrifying disasters from happening if they never happen 🤪”

incredible that anyone accepts this kind of nonsense from a nominee for anything.

Me: "It's time to start eating healthy." Lettuce: "I'm going to give you explosive diarrhea!" Chips and cookies in my pantry: "I would never do that to you."

“merit” means illegal gender discrimination because women in command make pete hegseth’s dick feel soft www.nytimes.com/2026/07/14/u...

Four years ago, Biden gave a speech warning about the dangers to democracy and the networks refused to air it because it was "political." I wonder if Trump making a partisan case for relitigating the 2020 election and calling for his political opponents to be jailed is going to be "political" too?

Trump Paid $2 Million by South Korean Company Facing Trade Investigation www.nytimes.com/2026/07/14/u... He’s not even trying to hide his corruption anymore I’ve gifted this to bribe you to read it

stuff like this is why one important avenue for court reform is just nixing the shadow docket altogether and forcing these people to explain themselves to the public when they issue orders. also, making their records property of the united states and subject to publication when they leave the bench.

Lots of horrendous companies in the world today but Meta/Facebook is always making sure they're the leaders in horror

The feds occupied Memphis because it’s majority Black and, thus, local leaders are assumed to be incapable (despite facts).

Someone should write a story about a curséd device, lusted after as a transformative source of power, that renders its users unnaturally youthful long beyond their time

Yes, Trump made them worse. But refusing to recognize the toxicity of the pre-Trump Republican Party that made it so easy for Trump to take over will undermine efforts make REAL change when Trump is gone. Case in point: Lindsey Graham. This was in 2010!! www.politico.com/story/2010/0...

i am begging democrats to take this threat to our elections as seriously as they take a fundraising deadline

Core to Republicanism is that America can tell the world what to do but nobody can tell us what to do. We’re the world’s bully.

Every two weeks since Jan. 2025 a federal district court judge says something like this ("this is the most comically corrupt and dishonest thing I've ever seen") and then two weeks later the 90-page decision is summarily stayed or reversed

When you are totally innocent and definitely haven't been murdering people all over the world

this is “pete hegseth wants an all-white military”

Future utilitarians living in a solar punk utopia having anguished debates about the credit owed to President Trump for supercharging green transition.

"it's OK to be manly" sounds a lot like the male supremacist version of "it's OK to be white"

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.

Hard to put into words how big of an own-goal it is for the United States to normalize shipping tolls at all, much less tolls at 20%. It's the kind of thing that appeals to someone who has only ever known how to run short-term scams.

What noise is this? Not dead? Not yet quite dead?

It’s an obvious but still important reality right now that putting people on your network who represent or defend the current administration means choosing to amplify people who will knowingly, aggressively, and frequently lie to your audience.

graham choosing to put off medical care that likely would’ve saved his life because he was scheduled to be on meet the press in the morning is the most perfect encapsulation of his career one can imagine

My longstanding policy preference has been to torture zero souls, for zero days. My colleague Satan preferred to torture all souls, for eternity. I appreciated his willingness to negotiate, which led to the historic Torture One Million Souls act of 2014 and the Torture A Bunch More Souls act of 2018

The only true thing Lindsey Graham ever said

How about when he threw an angry tantrum in defense of a SCOTUS nominee credibly accused of rape? Did you all have a good collegial chuckle over that?

When Lindsey Graham appears in a history book, it'll be his prediction in 2016 that the Republican Party would be destroyed for supporting Donald Trump and then a few lines about how he proved it by becoming Trump's toady. That's pretty much it. That's his legacy. Pathetic lickspittle.

every lecture about respecting the dead in the wake of Graham's (or McConnell's presumed upcoming) death from the mainstream media should be taken as what it is: a declaration that they respect power more than they respect our democracy or constitution and that they will collaborate in enslaving us

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

Lindsay Graham was, I think, one of the most contemptible figures in US politics, a titan of respectable bipartisan foreign policy for years who displayed no principles, no insight, and no beliefs beyond a gleeful and vicarious love of violence. An indictment of every institution he served in. RIP.

We're gonna find out that an hour ago someone placed a $100,000 Polymarket bet that Mitch McConnell would outlive Lindsey Graham

sometimes you get two bags of chips out of the vending machine I guess

this is the appetizer this is the garlic bread

Every time I read a story about gynecology it's always something like "doctors discovered women could experience pain in 1989 but decided not to act on this knowledge for 20 years"

They're saying his last words were "Mitch McConnell still survives"

Just saying death comes in threes
