It's probably bad that we have a president who has discovered the "you get to murder anybody as long as you say they're a narco-terrorist" cheat code

Starting the new Thursday Murder Club book and with the caveat that I am very choke-uppable in general I’m still surprised at how economically Osman makes these lovely little humane character-driven moments

We need to make "dork ass losers" the standard insult for this particular kind of man

The people who were vomiting with rage over anything less than worshipful reverence for Charlie Kirk have reverted back to “what’s the big deal, can’t you take a joke?”

Increasingly convinced these threats are empty, especially as they put out sweaty “we can’t control him, he’s a wild animal!” statements

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

The Speaker of the House just… didn’t see a historically unprecedented televised meeting of generals? (I know he’s lying, but cmon man, try to make it plausible.)

For a long time conservatives have defended our shitty healthcare system by saying hospitals are required to provide emergency care to anyone who needs it

If someone gets mad when you say "stop the fascists" they're fascists.

So yeah I don’t think they have a coherent message if they’re trying to simultaneously tell the public “the democrats shut down the government” and also taunt democrats by saying “thanks for letting us do everything we wanted to for a long time, idiots!”

i think this is poor tactically by Johnson et al; they will 100% take the blame for a shutdown, all of it, if they’re talking about it as an opportunity to do things they want to do

I’ve never been in the military so idk but I would think that if you’ve reached the rank of admiral or general, like everyone he was talking to, you have some more high-minded ideas about what you’ve devoted your life to and you might find d this characterization kind of insulting

I'm not a lawyer, but I've read a lot of judicial decisions, and I've never seen anything like this. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I know nothing really moves Trump's approval rating from "low but stable" but this would do the trick pretty damn fast

Listen up, fatties. You kill whoever I say you should kill, your fellow Americans are evil, and we're way too hard on rapists. Please clap.

I get the sense the reaction in the room is not the rousing “hoo-rah, sir yes sir” they were expecting.

I don’t actually think this assembled group of generals and admirals are going to allow themselves to be politicized but it’s not exactly subtle what he’s trying to do here.

Not a shocker: Mario Galaxy and Galaxy 2 hold up beautifully and are both still a lot of fun! My only wishlist item is a “turn the cursor off completely” option that just gathers, idk, 50% of Star Bits automatically. www.gamespot.com/articles/sup...

Imagine being a general or an admiral and being summoned thousands of miles from your important duties to watch this Fox & Friends understudy who only reached major before washing out stand up and give a TED talk about how you’re too fat.

These people are obsessed with trans sports based on the premise that women are just immutably, biologically weaker; but then they turn around and get red-faced about the military tailoring its physical standards for women. Weird, right?

can you imagine sitting in that audience as a three-star flag officer — decades in the service, multiple post-grad degrees and a virtually unequaled level of command expertise — and being forced to watch this dunderheaded dry drunk give an off-brand jordan belfort seminar?

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

My official Thoughts on the Street Fighter casting and photo leaks

Wait… did *they* call for delivery just assuming they could snatch whoever showed up?

He references television and “my people” interchangeably so I’m pretty sure he thinks the people on TV are his real friends talking to him

I think more than anything this is about expectations vs outcomes. 2020 was polling like a blowout and Trump was surprisingly resilient, just not enough. 2024 was a dead heat and then Trump won bigger than expected. Both results were directionally the same.

He keeps saying weird shit like this and I can't tell if he's trying to claim that Democrats want to force everyone to swap genders, which is false and also insane; or if he means Democrats want everyone to have *access* to gender affirming care if they want it, which is true and also a good thing

As others have observed, the dumbest part about this absolutely braindead suggestion is that if you actually did play along and the conservative you identify is too obscure or not MAGA enough they would say it doesn't count.

First domestic military coup in American history kicks off because this donkey makes all the generals sit in bleacher seating and listen to him talk about Conquering The Beta Within into a headset mic.

This is the headline you see in a movie right before “Oracle” goes rogue and fires nukes

There are more substantive and harmful things about this court but maybe the most galling is how they constantly insist that they are but omniscient philosopher kings, entirely apolitical and judicious, but of course you uneducated pleebs would not understand such things

There’s so much wrong about this but I can’t get over how the public has just gotten used to the President talking like a mob boss in a bad movie. “I hear tings, you know, I hear people saying names, I think maybe something happens to em”

Okay so this meeting just got like 5000x more suspicious.

Kimmel’s defiant return highlights one of the most disturbing dynamics of Trump II, that so many people in positions of leadership are chickenshit frauds who would rather fold in advance than put up anything resembling a fight www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This is a strange question but does anyone recall Nintendo updating the Super Mario 3D All-Stars game with save data letting you skip straight to the end? I fired it up and had the exact number of stars needed to proceed to Bowser in both 64 and Galaxy, and I don’t recall playing them that much.

Yeah man where did anybody get the idea that we should treat undocumented immigrants as subhuman www.npr.org/2024/03/17/1...

We should all be very skeptical but also I don't really think they're going to get much traction trying to Reischtag Fire this one since their basic message seems to be "thank god they missed and only hit detained migrants instead of anybody important"

Oh sure NOW you support removing statues of white supremacists. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/u...

woke up early to tell the internet i played more pokemon legends: z-a, and that i'd like to play a lot more article: www.gamespot.com/articles/pok... video: youtu.be/HhXaGpUaBpA?...

Will the "all lives matter" crowd care about an incident similar to Charlie Kirk but with 3x the body count? Let's find out!

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is easily the best way to play this classic game thanks to a host of improvements, and I can’t speak highly enough of how the stellar voice acting makes the WotL script shine. www.gamespot.com/reviews/fina...

I kinda figured once they brought the show back we wouldn’t end up getting an actual court ruling on the flagrant 1A violation but oh wait a tick

Now seeing the video it’s even funnier that he tried to claim that this harmless prank could’ve killed Melania

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

[ascending into the air to be with Jesus the Lord forever, getting kinda bored halfway by the low speed] more like crapture am I right [plummeting]

I'm not sure if I'm reading this right but it seems like in my area Sinclair only owns the CW and that MyTV thing that seems to specialize in boomer reruns

Football in the age of streaming continues to suck. You can subscribe to basically everything (and I do) and it's still a total fuckin mystery which thing has what game at any given time, even if you're only interested in one team

What video game do you consider perfect?
