i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

I cannot see the Rockettes without hearing Andy Daly's raspy Dom Demillo voice saying 'the girls'.

Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to cook a turkey from frozen in the oven on Thanksgiving. Won't be the best turkey you've ever had, but its decent.

An idea: That Time James Bond got Reincarnated as a Slime

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

bro did a death drop like he’s lipsyncing for the crown

"In the two years since the state started charging a 4% surtax on incomes over $1 million, the effort has created a $5.7 billion windfall, with the surplus being used to fund bridge repairs, bolster literacy programs and address the transportation system’s budget deficit." Taxing the rich works!

Collins absolutely locked on his first read is telegraphic these passes. Haven't seen him even check a second option on the last 2 drives. #syracuse

There was a scene in the first of those Left Behind books where the antichrist speaks to the UN after the rapture and bends all nations to his knee with the power of his charisma. This... is the opposite of that.

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

@avclub.com hey, it'd be nice if I could read your site on a web browser without all the pop up ads and auto play videos making my computer's fan kick into overdrive and the browser crash.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

I think a lot about this bit from “Jerusalem” by Alan Moore

The unions. DGA. WGA. SAG. IATSE. We need to stand up for the jobs of those in the adjacent unions. No AI to replace actors. No AI to replace crew. No AI writing in scripts. No AI to replace VFX artists. AI tools only and only tools that facilitate jobs, not replace them. Together we can do this.

There's be more peace on this web site and in our alleged coalition if liberals accepted that the left does sincerely believe in things. If those things seem edgy it's because the media doesn't take them seriously, if they seem contrarian it's because the opposite is hegemonic.

Pizza is the best food but things with “pizza flavor” are the worst food, this is known as the Noid Paradox

Just had a real "it belongs in a museaum!" moment watching Antiques Roadshow over a rare ships log from a Union Civil War steamer.

sorry i don’t think Zohran’s win indicates how state or national races will go. Zohran campaigned against unaffordable basic needs and an old pervert. problems that are unique to new york city and no where else in the country

Brad Lander told NY1 at Mamdani’s party that what Democrats need to decide right now is whether to be “fighters or folders” and yes he should immediately mount a primary challenge to Chuck Schumer

@darthbluesky.bsky.social You were kind enough to repost a picture of my dog and daughter a while ago (2nd pic). Our beautiful boy recently developed lymphoma and we had to say goodbye to him today. This pic is how we will remember him. He brought nothing but joy and happiness to the world. RIP Ted.

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty. My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

4 months and he's "disillusioned and frustrated" and quits in a huff - totally juiceless. cannot get it done

why does the times continually run cover for these childish self-serving narratives? he's not disillusioned with washington! he's a tweaked out know-nothing whose fantasies of being copresident kind of blew up in his face and, utterly unable to do anything right, he finally had to flee the scene

Just checked 3 different weather apps for Sunday's forecast and got 3 wildly different results. Feeling like this is the result of the NWS budget cuts. So goddamn dumb.

Syracuse lacrosse looks completely unprepared for this game. Did they bother to work on clears this week in preparation for the team with the best ride in the country? Add to that lazy ground ball effort, impatient offense, and dumb penalties. Hope they can turn it around.

The words 'Top Christ Following Man of the Year' have become an earworm in my brain. It's such an awkward construction for the name of an award, but so perfectly fits the Gemstone universe. Well done.

Updated odds for anyone interested

Pursuing goals like fairer wages, easier home ownership, universal child care, and food security would probably have the natural knock-on effect of more people having children but that's not what we're talking about doing, is it? Because that doesn't give preference to the "right" potential parents

You don't get to just make up some Cope Santa Claus in your head and then pull the lever for that in November, that's not how it works, you don't get partial credit for making up someone in your head and then voting for someone specific

Least convincing bit ever is Trump voters getting buyer's remorse now and saying "this isn't what I voted for." Yes it is you freak, it's exactly what you voted for, this is the only shit he ever spent any time talking about for an entire year

Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.

thank u obamna im gonna sign a multi-million dollar deal with netflix maybe meddle in a primary or something

This Google AI shit has gotten out of control. Just searched for 'boneless skinless chicken breat air fryer time and temp' and it gave me 3 answers which would have resulted in dangerously undercooked meat.

DNC Aiming To Reconnect With Working-Class Americans With New ‘Hamilton’-Inspired Lena Dunham Web Series

Barron Trump (B. 2005) is a Berlin-based video artist whose work explores identity, alterity, and mobility via mass media bricolage. He is a graduate of the Stern School of Business at NYU & the Gvorci School of Humanities at the University of Leipzig. His exhibit "Fuck/Face" ends October 2nd, 2025.

If they’re gonna save TikTok we need a federal law that if you’re watching it for more than 30 seconds without headphones on it’s legal to do something bad to you

this is incredible stuff. most state DOTs would spend tens of billions on highway expansions to try and see numbers like this (that wouldn’t even pan out anyway thanks to induced demand lol)

it's crazy that there's one guy in the entire world for whom karma is a real thing, and it's daniel snyder

Trying to get into bluesky instead of Twitter, but the volume of bot followers I've gotten since using this site more (just reading and adding some new followers, not even posting) is concerning. Any way to stop this?

Was reading Goodnight Gorilla to my daughter and noticed that there is a picture in the zookeeper's house that indicates he was married in his work uniform. That is a man who takes pride in his craft.
