point of order: what in the deep fried fuck is going on here

It’s like the 7th most important thing about him so I forgot Pulte was a BBBY truther.

i think it's bad that this platform is entering a norm-consolidation phase built around ragebaiting, reactionary doom posting, and cratering media literacy

Happy Pride! Gayville, SD

Most Nashville bands willing to play this thing would be firmly second- or third-string *in Nashville* let alone nationally. John Rich is still coasting off his glory days, and Burchett names nobody else.

"I don't wanna vote Democrat because being smart is for nerds and they don't talk enough about how amazing I am for having a penis" go stand in the corner and feel bad, treating this as a non-embarrassing opinion is how we got to this hell dimension

I think the funniest thing about this if it actually happens (which is a big if) is that every small retail/food business I ever worked for opened with no more than ~200 in the register. Nobody is going to empty the register of all 20s, 10s, 5s, and most of the 1s just to take even one of these.

When this happened in Idaho they re-implemented the firing squad to spare themselves future embarrassment so please look forward to Tennessee doing the same thing.

Several hundred crystal paste later

totally not groomed by telegram nazis

Gerolt told me he needs more crystal paste to finish the relic so I asked how much paste he's used and he said he just has the Warrior of Light get more for the demon he summoned so I said it sounds like he's just feeding paste to the demon and then the Warrior of Light started crying.

I simply do not believe that He Who Created The Heavens and the Earth feels glorified by the exact same chord progression and soft tenor voice every single time

Orban’s Hungary was supposed to be the model for fascism going forward, and it has disintegrated faster than I thought possible. It’s quite heartening, or maybe very scary if you’re living ass-to-mouth to support fascism as a metapolitical project.

Oh, the attacks on mainline Protestants are definitely coming and have been percolating under the surface in the form of ubiquitous online snark aimed at churches that fly pride flags or support BLM.

I have never seen this many waxwings in my life, wow

A small but significant part of my adulthood has been, every time a new round of Jowling Kowling Rowling discourse starts, remembering every time someone told me - from roughly age 8 up until I was about 19 - that I look just like Harry Potter. Mortifying. At least Daniel Radcliffe seems alright?

A far-right idiot amplified by Alex Jones, Jason Whitlock, Gavin McInnis and others has been streaming himself saying racist shit to black people in order to provoke them into violence so he can shoot them. He just shot just a black man here in Tennessee.

Paul family gradually producing shittier and shittier generations of kids like some kind of bioaccumulation or clone rot.

I’m not saying this thinking is *definitely* wrong, but I think economists should probably more deeply consider the fact that the aesthetics of victory are more important to a fascist project than paltry concerns like “the economy”. Sure, he can spin backing down as a win, but he’s growing desperate

When your solid boot drive shows as “SM225…” that’s a bad day.

Look I knew our doctrine of air supremacy had limitations but jesus christ. I know *how* they fucked up this bad, but even then my mind strains to comprehend it.

I finally had a moment to read this. At first glance Easter Island (Rapa Nui) feels like such a random inclusion. Tbh, it still sort of is. But the reason nobody is naming the "pattern," including Flynn, is because there is literally no pattern to name. And that's where Rapa Nui comes in. 1/

The U.S. Department of Justice appears to be preparing to drop a nearly two-year criminal investigation of Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles, agreeing to return or destroy evidence seized from the diehard MAGA Republican before the FBI got a chance to review it. www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

They're all lying con artists, monetizing bigotry and abuse.

The cool thing about conservatism is that it is fundamentally unconcerned with the personhood of others. You are either putting words in the mouths of those who cannot speak (the founders, the unborn, etc.) or you’re the mouth. AI is going to turn a lot of these people into mouths.

Blennessee is not on the table, and probably never will be, but we are not as deep red as many think we are. Also what the fuck is happening in Wyoming jesus christ.

There are millions of studies, entire journals, dedicated to non-drug treatments for mental health issues. Many of them work! This is not forbidden knowledge, it's mainstream medicine that is being tested and published constantly.

April — 2026 The Pitt is Master of Streaming No Teen Dramas Stand Before It Theatres are now Battlefields

Exclusive first look at Ace Combat 8.

Just to be clear, Tennessee is a 60-40 state. Maybe 65-35. Nashville has already been divided up, fed to the suburbs, and has three MAGA reps now. The “flaw” in the current map Trump is referring to is the single remaining Democratic district, Memphis, which is 63% black and voted Harris +25.

NEW: I wrote about the ways that Lyme disease conspiracy theories are re-emerging, spurred by a rumor about “boxes of ticks,” an as-yet unreleased vaccine, and the people currently running our government www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

(the world i tirelessly advocate for does exactly what it's designed to do) this is unfair to me

Art should only be about photoshopping yourself into pictures of famous people. Art should never be a window into the experiences, lives, and thoughts of others.

You would think this panic would not exist if they really thought they were outbreeding the evil childless liberals.

Uh oh somebody forgot what the L in SPLC stands for

Continually in awe that, just as water finds and fills the lowest point, there are human intellects that find and fill the dumbest positions.

NEW: For my regular TPM column, I wrote about how the "missing scientists" conspiracy theory is a social media version of King Tut's Curse: a small cluster of random deaths given outsized importance by an exploitative press looking to cash in on a pop craze. talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/whats-r...

Mankind knew that they cannot change society. So, instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the beasts.

"I shall grant your wishes three" "I wish for big ballroom" "Okay, granted, but-" "I wish for giant arch" "Hoo, okay, wait, hold on, you're not going to think about this even a little? You could have-" "I wish for bigger ballroom"

everyone's saying "naruto run" but the dude clearly got hit with the curse from weapons

Speculation at this time is irresponsible, but this was definitely someone trying to off Kash Patel so he could impress Jodie Foster

Warrior demoted to off-tank, Paladin futures through the roof. Dark Knight mains listening to Gloomy Sunday on loop. Gunbreaker mains say "yeah, that's about right"

Bro’s brain is so cooked it’s inventing new C&C Red Alert units

I think my weirdest take is that the shape of congressional districts should be limited *geometrically* and if you draw one with more than x vertices or the narrowest section is less than y miles a man shows up at your house with a macuahuitl

Let this be a lesson to all of you: don’t let anyone you love play Mage: The Ascension

ICYMI, the conspiracy theory that Donald Trump staged or faked his assassination attempt in July 2024 continues to gain steam online, despite not only having no credible evidence, but being built around a paradox that nobody who believes it wants to address. www.patreon.com/posts/butler...

I have been in no fewer than three D&D/Pathfinder campaigns that used this image for an NPC reference. Simply one of the hardest anthropological illustrations ever produced.

Looking at our datasets, which include a lot of platforms that harbor gigantic right-wing conspiracy theory audiences, it is remarkable how little they seem to care about Alex Jones losing Infowars. Maybe a sign of how Infowars' novelty has faded, now that every GOP official sounds like Alex Jones

Its good and natural for mods to hate the users and users to hate the mods. Know your history.

fuck Tucker Carlson, fuck his little apology, and if you fall for it you're just as pathetic as he is
