This is remarkably honest for someone who basically spends his entire career these days lying. The major animating force of the conservative moment for the last half-century has been "Nixon got a bad rap, we need to build protective scaffolding so that can never happen again." And they did.

Goons like Alito defend Trump's gutter racism by claiming he's not attacking the people, he's just saying they come from bad places. But that's just plainly not true. Trump's position is that they are bad people *because* they come from bad places. That they are innately broken.

Name a film with a title that is a full sentence

If Hans had waited like 20 minutes for Anna to actually die instead of going around telling everyone she was dead while she was very much alive a few rooms over his plan would’ve 100% worked

With the expanded script of the Star Fox remake, Peppy talks a lot more, and Peppy's one (1) character trait is "you remind me of your father," which means he brings it up a lot. So I wrote one of the sillier things I've ever written for GameSpot. www.gamespot.com/articles/pep...

Star Fox plays as great as you remember and it looks even better, and the new animated cutscenes add a lot to this remake. But if you've played it before you're not going to shake the bogey of deja vu off your tail. www.gamespot.com/reviews/star...

So we’re going to mark America’s 250th with the White House East Wing reduced to rubble, the Ellipse grass totally decimated, tarps blocking the name of the Kennedy Center, and fencing surrounding our drained reflecting pool There’s still time to fit another one or two on-the-nose visual metaphors

It's Prime Day and I can't even get a bunch of Jack Reacher novels on kindle for like a dollar

Me in 1768: I dislike the new Prime Minister and the Steam Machine is still too expensive. Me in 2026: I dislike the new Prime Minister and the Steam Machine is still too expensive.

“The president so disastrously fucked up an unnecessary restoration project for a national monument that it ended up killing baby ducks” sounds like a hack joke when you’re reaching for a way to tell the audience that he’s evil

Toy Story 5 didn’t replace 2 as the best of the series or anything but it echoed that movie and closed the loop in some key ways and also found a very timely and resonant modern story to tell. Highly recommended.

It’s a real failure of imagination that we still have not come up with another takeout food as efficient for feeding a crowd as pizza

I have not watched much soccer but one thing I like about it already is that a 90 minute game is reliably a commitment of close to 90 minutes, as opposed to American football in which a 60 minute game can last anywhere between two and seventeen hours

Holy shit that is Nickelodeon Slime green

Extremely funny because all throughout the war these types of maga apologists kept saying “the CRAZY libs keep saying we’re losing in Iran because they’re CRAZY, but if we were losing would we be exploding so many things?”

KAY: There's no commitment in this MOU for Iran not becoming a nuclear state REP. MIKE TURNER: It actually expressly states that- 'the Islamic Republic confirms that it shall not procure or develop nukes' K: Which was the first sentence of the JCPOA, but that was backed up by an inspections regime

When it's going great

"Look the poisonous fog is perfectly survivable as long as you don't need food, water, shelter, toilets, or joy"

"Our billionaire president is an asshole because that's how he relates to the working class, who are all just naturally assholes. So if you question him being an asshole you're really attacking regular salt of the earth Americans, who are, again, innately assholes"

Nobody in history living or dead has ever been “good at fooseball”

I know on some level all artificial sweeteners are chemicals but whatever they put in Dunkin iced coffees really *tastes* like chemicals, how do Massholes drink this

If you follow right-wing accounts the last week has been a transition from “look how blue it is, SUCK IT LIBS” to “it’s just a little residual Biden algae” to “okay it’s a lot of algae and it’s not going away so there’s only one possible explanation: liberals are dumping algae in the pool”

You know one easy way you could clear all this up is just release the text of the MOU

The Adventures of Elliot has strong action-RPG mechanics and it looks great, but I was left wanting for a story I cared about, that took advantage of its time travel concept, with characters who felt more three-dimensional. A good first-draft Zelda homage. www.gamespot.com/reviews/the-...

Me to Steam right now

REPUBLICAN SENATOR: Democrats want you to believe that sending FIVE MILLION DOLLARS of YOUR tax money to MEXICO to “manage” the “Dick Exploding Spider” population is “normal” SAME SENATOR SIX MONTHS LATER: (walking like a saddle-sore cowboy) This is the greatest public health crisis of our lives,

I have once again somehow found myself in the socialist hellscape of Manhattan. Doctors keep stopping me to offer me free health care. I have an armful of subsidized groceries but they had to substitute my preferred brand of peanut butter.

Really trying to set the bar at "we win no matter what no take-backsies" ahead of releasing the text of the agreement

jesus christ NO! NO!!! FUCK

Full playthrough of Chrono Trigger projected onto a Jumbotron but instead of the game audio I have the National Symphony Orchestra playing to match the correct song cues

I already own SF6 digitally on Switch 2 but somehow buying it *again* would be cheaper than buying both character passes on the eshop Which seems like it shouldn't be correct

In suburban Maryland there seem to be at least two and maybe three jet squadrons circling around and around our town, I assume in some kind of holding pattern for a DC flyover? Due to weather or just to get the timing right? 🤷‍♂️

Yeah really seems like we just rushed to a deal with a huge windfall for Iran just so he can get extra-fawning coverage on his favorite Fox shows for his big day

One thing that struck me when I went to this YouTube channel to watch the very first Mister Rogers' Neighborhood is how it was all right there from the beginning. Fred Rogers had a vision for the type of show he wanted to make--gentle but never talking down--and he executed it right from the start.

The weather channel is woke cucks now

President Deals got service members killed, burned through years of munitions, and cost billions in damage to the world economy for a deal in which Iran gets a huge windfall and we get jack shit www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Finally I can immortalize my favorite Lower Decks joke

Algae is basically unavoidable in these conditions. The thing is, though, they spend the last month or two telling us Trump had to blow millions of dollars on a sweetheart deal for his favorite pool company to fix it and comparing it to Obama’s pool having algae, a sign of disgusting disrepair.

“Why’s it taking so long to take down the name when they put it up so fast?” yeah, undoing every single thing he’s done is gonna be exactly like that, get used to it

Thanks to @sporkyreeve.bsky.social for recording this with me!

But what about a Science or Culture victory

You should get this

Today I published the second portion of my Mina the Hollower interview with David D'Angelo. I had split it into two parts to rope off spoilers, and it feels like the right time to drop some HOT SPOILER GOSS. www.gamespot.com/articles/min...

If you ever need to explain why a flat tax doesn't work, tell them that living expenses don't scale at the same rate as wealth. If they did, Elon Musk would spend $1.3 billion *per week* on groceries. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

If they removed the John F. Kennedy name there would be some obvious sun bleached outlines so you could see its absence. When they get done removing Trump's name there will be nothing. He tried to steal the honor of an edifice and when he's gone it will be like he was never there.

Don't listen to the naysayers, meteorologists, or Secret Service, Mr. President. God will protect you from lightning just like he did that bullet, you should stay outside the entire time regardless of what's happening. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/w...

Never thought I'd see an admin official *advocate* for the cool zone

I can’t explain it but he looks like if Samuel L Jackson was a cat (complimentary)
