a perfect sketch. one of the funniest things ever put to film, imo youtu.be/n-Bfkc6lZok?...

keynes saved liberal capitalism and the world market economy while hayek's bastard disciples are working to destroy them in favor of nationalist central planning and traditionalist social engineering

Lego has a chance to do the funniest thing* *break up shipment of each tiny package of pieces up over 150 years

Some petroleum market quotes from last 24h Trafigura Chief Economist Saad Rahim: "buffers are now largely spent" Vitol Middle East chief Tom Baker: "In Europe and...the US, everyone is kind of asleep at the wheel" S&P Global energy analyst/historian Daniel Yergin: 1.2bn barrels of supply lost.

it’s because there’s raw shit in the milk. consuming cow shit can lead to illness

Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

The press corps when Trump hasn't been in a week: 🦗🦗. The press corps if Biden went a week without any sort of public appearance.

i dont think weiss and bilton were brought in to destroy CBS, i think conservatives are so high on the smell of their own farts that they think their mere presence will lead to success in any organization where they are at the top of the leadership charts

section 2 of the VRA? nullified? the 15th amendment? only applies to intentional discrimination. intentional discrimination? impossible to prove given an unbreakable assumption of good faith for a state legislature. 14th amendment? equal protection clause means the constitution can't even see race.

i genuinely hate these people

Basically Bari Weiss

Pretty cool.

They’re running out of goons

After ICE deported Wendy Hernandez Reyes, it turned her 3-year-old son Orlin over to her sister’s estranged partner, who tortured Orlin and beat him to death. I can’t say what I think should happen to those responsible without violating this website’s TOS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

I'll hold out for the official truth social announcement that it was never on and also it's back on biglier than ever and also unnecessary and not happening but it'll happen in two weeks in a really tremendous way stay tuned

It’s kind of bitterly ironic that the thing that needs an in-depth piece on 60 Minutes more than anything is what the fuck is going on over at 60 Minutes

If you do all this stuff against Liberty University it is actually constitutionally protected free speech in my opinion.

In a Bathroom.

Data centers were over 50 years old when the first LLMs came online, and many of you had them for neighbors and never noticed. Most are still not used by AI companies. The environmental regulations were relaxed five years ago and killed last year. When did your problems start?

I wish we could talk seriously about wealth inequality & the US economy without ignoring that 90% of Americans have what would have been the world's most powerful computer c.2000 in their pocket & things like "life expectancy in 1850s England was ~40 years & GDP per capita was ~$5000 in today's $"

they made half the 2024 campaign about hunter biden going “hi, I’m hunter biden” in business dealings! I am losing my mind!

It's so striking how much conservative ideology rests entirely on lies. You can look up which books are getting assigned in colleges! The idea that higher education has a "disdain for Western civilization" is laughable.

Imagine if the US responded to Sputnik by eliminating funding for satellites and aerospace technology and doubled down on building coal-powered steam engines.

Our government telling an adversary to disregard the President's social media posts because they're not real and are intended for promotional purposes and US media consumption, says it all. Holy fuck.

Again, the total, multi-dimensional failure of both strategy & tactics in the wildly illegal Iran war is simply not getting remotely the same tone or intensity of coverage that JOE BIDEN FAILED EPICALLY IN AFGHANISTAN AND IS WALKING AMERICA AWAY FROM THE WORLD got in 2021. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Trying to remember 1993 me watching Letterman premire the CBS Late Show, then telling my old self it would end 30 years later when President Donald Trump would have Oracle boss Larry Ellison buy the whole CBS network to cancel Letterman's successor because Trump couldn't take jokes

The first thing wasn’t an issue prior to the war. The second thing is an agreement to continue a pre-existing conversation. The third thing is the carrot to get the first and second things. That’s a great job of bargaining, just first rate stuff. 🙄

WTF is wrong with these people? This country is on the verge of a multi-generational health dividend and conspiracy theorist idiots are trying to sabotage this opportunity.

🚨 🚨 🚨 NEW: A shocking @USCIS memo seems to declare that hundreds of thousands of immigrants living in this country and applying for green cards must instead apply for visas abroad; which could MASSIVELY disrupt lives. 🧵 on what we know, and what we don’t.

Is that good?

Reaping and sowing and things of that nature. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...

They are legit shook.

Look at this map of life expectancy by state and tell me whether you'd like the governance of the places where people live as long as they do in Europe or Asia or the governance where people die as early as people in Russia or Bangladesh.

I just want to point out, politely, that there are other colleges apart from Ivy League institutions. They are where most college students go. They are where, believe it or not, America's massive comparative advantage in higher education exist. You would never know this if you read the Times.

one member of Los Angeles County's board of supervisors has more constituents than the U.S. senators of 12 states

Every day brings a new set of headlines that if you'd predicted them in October 2024, you'd have been diagnosed with a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Thursdays when the SI came was always a highlight of my week. Just so sad.

Give us your comfortable, your economically secure, your white masses yearning to not have live in a majority black country.

If you truthfully described to most non-engaged voters this scheme, they simply wouldn’t believe you.

They made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm

Happy Anniversary to this banger.

Ones I tend to remember the most: Underworld All the Light We Cannot See White Teeth Suite Francaise Underground Railroad

The funniest thing about the “fertility debate” is that it has an easy answer as far as America is concerned (let in more immigrants) but people are like that is neither racist nor misogynist enough

You can't really desecrate Homer. He probably wasn't even a single person. The Iliad and the Odyssey were developed over time as part of an interative oral tradition

Imposing real, criminal consequences for the Hegseth/Miller/Trump drug boat murders must be a top priority for the next administration. It would be a catastrophic moral failing to let them go unanswered.

something sad about this

It would be nice to have some thoughtful reflection from all the people & institutions that dismissed the JCPOA, pretended there was some alternative magical 🦄 "better deal," & otherwise were wildly unserious about the entire issue of how to deal with Iran in 2008-25. bsky.app/profile/mcop...
