Guy with visible stink lines: the birth rate,

the thing about the institutional apparatus of the dems is that it’s the biggest collection of losers we’ve seen in my lifetime. despite 2 governing trifectas in the last 18 years and the presidency for 12, they’ve overseen the return of segregationists and the end of bodily autonomy for women

"If You Leave Me Now", by Chicago

Third Way sees republicans as allies in their fight against progressive democrats.

NONE of these people should be able to use their social-media accounts for the rest of their time in office.

Perfect summation of the type: "people whose personalities and value systems have been replaced by a long catalog of vapid gripes" But "the hamburger dipshit" also works

Conservatives hate universities because they are broke outside the club, liberals think it’s gauche to brag, and foreigners self soothe by making “100 top universities for elite reproduction” lists that ignore the fact that, like, ETH Zurich and Oxford have a lower R&D budget than UW-Madison

listen to joe, he's the piece-of-shit whisperer

The people on this beat are not real journalists. They're political operatives.

Tom Freidman, paraphrased:

The statue avatar crowd rushing to the defense of Achilles, who spends 9/10s of The Iliad pouting in his tent with his good friend Patroclus, is a little too on the nose.

Before World War I, there was a prevailing theory among economists that no major war between great powers could possibly last more than ~6 months because economic factors would force governments to end wars so as not to destroy national economies. This is quite literally economic theory from 1910.

lol

grrr, this is plausible...

Horse styles of the ’50s

Imagine getting paid $800-grand/year to run comms for Facebook and not knowing how to use the word "projection" correctly in a sentence.

Contractions with 3 words: -she'd've -wouldn't've Contractions with more than 3 words: -y'all'll've -they'dn't've

Among the largest quasi-aesthetic communication differences between, say, a Zohran Mandami and a Chuck Schumer is (emphatically) NOT the use of jargon; it's that the former speaks to audiences as though they're adults and the latter as though they are particularly dumb children. 🤷

THANKS OBAMA, but I don't see fuckall anybody doing this who is an actual politician. The default-setting isn't jargon, it's talking to people like they're fucking 12.

Great article filled with shocking details, such as ‘Craig Garrett….discovered that his then kindergartener had been reading to the Amira bot in class all year’ and ‘The city D.O.E. official overseeing the guidelines is a current recipient of a fellowship jointly offered by Google and GSV Ventures’.

Time travel fantasies have become a lot less enjoyable now that there are all of these mandatory things I need to stop first before I can have any fun.

Justice Thurgood Marshall, dissenting in Mobile v. Alabama, which gave us the 1982 amendments to the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that the Supreme Court just nullified in Louisiana v. Callais. Every word applies to the current majority: tile.loc.gov/storage-serv...

bro everyone is kinda pissed about how much you took from the horn of plenty

Op-Ed writers this week

Pour one out for the Hilton staff who are working perhaps the worst shift in food service history rn.

Idk man, I think the journalists who have been traumatized the most were not sitting in that room tonight. The feds gassed the shit out of us, knocked us over, sent in the local PD to harass, detain, and hurt us, shot a teenaged photographer in the face and he lost an eye, and that's just in LA

Kind of a perfect metaphor for the media and the role they've played over the last ten years

HBO remake of Tales From the Crypt WHEN?

Plenty of criticism on the right of the #SCOTUS leaker and the Times’s reporting, but has anyone actually responded to the argument that Roberts’s assessment of “irreparable harm” and his refusal to balance the equities is completely inconsistent with his subsequent behavior in all the Trump cases?

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.” #cdnpoli

IT'S A TRAILBLAZIRACLE!! 🎯🫡❤️

the pro-masturbation side’s got shooters

I actually feel pretty optimistic about the #blazers chances tonight. Our full roster matches up pretty well w/ Phoenix; I figure Toumani will take Devin Booker to start but we'll also throw Jrue and Matisse at him. I think the Suns are going to struggle keeping us off the glass.

I get mailers from the DSCC all the time, and every time I send them back with a hand-written note that says: "you guys aren't getting one fucking penny from us until Schumer and Gillibrand are gone from your org". It's not a mystery why their coffers are empty. 🤷

The only thing more embarrassing than inviting Rufo to speak about intellectual freedom is paying him more than a graduate student makes in a year.

I guess we're supposed to take seriously the idea that fully 89% of people (Americans?) aged 22-35 were pretty/very happy despite the fact that is patently absurd? 🤨

i seriously don't know how to NOT give them money any harder...
