I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

I feel like everything deep space 9 did, Babylon 5 pretty much did better, at least in terms of writing. The medical ethics episode is a classic example.

For all of the politics-knowers falling for Starmer's rhetoric about us not being involved in this war. Care to explain why UK reaper drones are circling Lebanon at the same time as Israeli strikes?

Listening to the latest Chapo episode and I find myself nodding in agreement with one point in particular: the establishment democrats have it made right now. Trump is taking the hit for a war they all wanted but were wary of starting and they can just sit on their hands and wait.

Vance would have to govern in the context that the US President can be removed from office, which seems like a net gain

my idea of economics was forever changed when this girl in ninth grade was like “your family’s rich” and i said “yeah right, my dad’s a journalist and my mom’s a teacher, do the math” and she said “my dad’s a magician”

Flight sticks are pointless just use a mouse and keyboard

ICYMI: we got rid of our programmatic ads, and we're hoping you'll support @prospect.org directly

Israel is a rogue state and our government should treat it as such. Our Government should have suspended diplomatic and trade relations long ago but if not now, when?

That dog saw the Challenger explode live

I don't know what this says about me, but even now I see the shirtless Chippendale, despite knowing better.

To extend this, "Why don't the leftists do something radical?" would be pretty easily answered by "Why don't *I* do something radical?" If you're not willing to reflect on your risk tolerance, you have no place pointing fingers at others.

everyone saying "why don't the leftists do something radical?" needs to engage with the very obvious answer, which is "everything you're thinking of would get a leftist shot immediately"

“Journalism is just whatever annoys journalists on social media” remains a powerful heuristic for understanding the industry and why it is so doggedly insistent on fulfilling no public duty or civic purpose.

I believe in the US ability to declare completely delusional victory and ignore reality

What do you want Democrats to do? There's nothing they can do. However, it's very important you continue to vote for them and give them money, as they continue to do nothing.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Wake up anon, it’s time for another day of being tortured for following the news.

It is extremely lame to get mad about someone 'stealing' a post or a joke or a bon mot or whatever but also it is extremely maddening.

Everyone in his orbit spent the whole day shorting crude for the plunge in the hour after the "deadline" passes in silence or with some phony "deal." They will all wake up tomorrow six or seven figures richer. This is not a sustainable system of government but it is inarguably our present system.

I scrolled down and saw this post just as I was on the phone to a friend who was saying mint over and over and my wife had just asked what I was eating from the other room to which I replied 'a mint!' because I am eating a mint. This all happened one second before seeing this post.

I stand with the people of Iran in their struggle against evil

The fucking catholic bishop of the military said “this war against Iran is an affront to god” before a single democrat did. Liberalism is dead. You got laws and liberty mogged by the fucking child rape church. @schumer.senate.gov you will be held to account. There is no back to brunch for your kind.

Probably pretty great since they can sit on the sidelines and profit. It’s not like monarchists give a shit about people

ot by the Coward Robert Ford

The United States is behaving in a way that is indistinguishable from how an advanced Third Reich would had it emerged victorious from World War 2, and nearly every leader in the developed world is now abandoning their duty to confront it, having acclaimed and legitimated it every step of the way.

God, I love her so much. Just banger after bager. She's in it purely for the love of the game and I respect that.

Now rewatching Babylon 5. Something I really appreciate about it is its theatricality. Unashamedly stagey

remember when aaron swartz was convicted of 35 yrs in prison and $1M in fines for downloading JSTOR articles under a guest MIT email and the refusal on behalf of the prosecution to consider any type of agreement caused him to take his own life bc i do. all this information should be free.

Real honour to write something for one of my favourite newsletters, on how anti-Muslim politics is really the only thing left for many of the Wests right wing (and even left wing) political parties

I’m gonna morb!

Jonathan are you intending to keep this crash out going into a third day if the oiks keep giving you backchat?

The thing that's extremely insulting about "there have to be trade-offs you can't have it good forever" is, some of us have never had it good. We've never had cheap essentials, we've never had good opportunities, we've never had a chance of a decent life.

I like a trace italienne, I know that's cliche but it's just a great fortification.

I'm a patient person but c'mon hurry up with this.

John Cena is a master of defusing questions designed to get celebrities to say controversial things. Truly, a master of the craft.

Timesplitters 2: Siberia 1990. Maybe the best opening level of any game in history

people who want to improve society seem to think it should take on a generally similar shape but with more altruistic or virtuous particularities. conversely i believe we should develop a world of hive-ziggurats where we practice perpetual screaming and eat mud until we die

Get a load of this snowflake
