I’m thinking this morning about all the people I spoke to last year who were absolutely convinced, and tried to convince me, that Trump would be antiwar compared to Biden and Harris. In the past week alone he has attacked Nigeria and then Venezuela and also threatened to attack Iran (again).

As I was saying, this was a set up from the beginning. They’re using this kid, and his presence on social media, to push their anti-immigrant views. And it worked because too many Americans are hateful people.

Waking up in America is always a practice in “let’s see what stupid/illegal/fascist thing they did while I was asleep”

Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.

When I say America is an embarrassment, I mean that

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

It’s almost like there’s a sickness attached to hoarding money

The 2024 NBA Finals were essentially a Rosetta Stone for what to expect from Luka defensively vs. an elite squad in his 6th NBA season even as a 24 year old. He’d been a pro since 16 by then. You either have the desire and will to play defense and stop the man in front of you or you don’t.

Dirk put forth effort and played with some elite defenders like Tyson Chandler, Shawn Marion, Jason Kidd & Corey Brewer plus a few physical back ups x elite shooters that allowed Dirk to cook

I just saw a post on Reddit about Luka being the same guy he’s always been and how that will be painfully obvious once Bron is gone. I’m not saying Nico was 100% right about Luka but he knew exactly who he was dealing with. Luka wasn’t going to get in shape in a Mavs uniform…

Highly predictable that they simplify everything. There’s no real plan other than to further discredit legacy media so they can roll a few bullet points out and pretend they’re smart.

Men doing this whole “I will vanquish continents for my children” LARP is so goofy in the context of household surveys. It’s nice you’ll kill millions for your daughter, maybe we can start at doing a load of laundry for your wife who does the vast majority of household labor?

There’s a tinge of manifest destiny in the “evaporate entire continents” that is too on the nose

As a parent you are vanishingly unlikely to have to defend your kids against eg home intruders but you will almost certainly have to help build a diorama from papier mache and I would say that's where the real heroism lies.

Loud. Very loud.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing. You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics. That is all.

Man, watching travel influencers flock to Saudi Arabia for sponsored content (latest is coaster creators visiting Six Flags Qiddiya), but not mentioning a word about human rights, is really bleak. APCO wishes it could have done this for Central Asia.

universalize this please

This is PERFECT

WHAT. IS. HAPPENING??!?!?

Ole Miss after Kiffin abandoned them:

Oh. Shit.

WHAT IS HAPPENING

EXCITEMENT!!!

What the hell is going on in this game

Oh no. Kirby why???

I SEE TOU TRINIDAD

I see you Trinidad Chambliss

New Orleans seems like a really good sports city for football but not so much for anything else

This is an accurate depiction of where I am with Stranger Things

Wild that he can just say “oops” for ethical and legal violations and no one blinks. Over and over again. He gave a VERY specific salute, multiple times, in public and just kind of laughed it off so this doesn’t surprise me at all.

CRYING because this makes perfect sense

just saw a billionaire pack all his things in a bindle and start leaving new york city on foot. he turned and looked at me with tears in his eyes and said “maybe one day when this city is safe we’ll return” before walking away

Comical, @wsj.com.

I’ll tell you who’s not bullshitting… The Indiana Hoosiers

this is what happens when laura loomer goes from racist troll to presidential adviser, you get racist trash storming kindergartens for clicks and influence and money because thats the reward for being conservative trash in this country

theyre storming kindergartens because there was literally no price to pay for calling in bomb threats to children’s hospitals in 2023…its only upside for them

they wouldnt be doing this had the media shamed them for “theyre eating the pets” instead of treating it like a legit campaign issue. they wouldnt be doing it if the democratic leadership had made them pay a political price for gutter racist trash

theyre saying that people from somalia are genetically predisposed towards fraud, its so goddam racist and so fucking stupid

the racism coming from the entire conservative movement targeting the somali community is so goddam disgusting and its just being completely ignored

the 2000s and 2010s were full of people in the entertainment world being rightly fired for saying things that pale in comparison to what comes from prominent Republicans today and the main difference is that major national news media have accepted "Republicans are racist" as no longer newsworthy

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

Again, the man who’s next in line for the presidency after this walking corpse has said he’s deeply influenced by this outright Nazi, so maybe we could get a little more attention on that?

Please read this thread and take note of how thoroughly @kevinmkruse.bsky.social is cooking Rob Schneider

Then stop borrowing against them and counting them toward your net worth

Remember when Tim Walz had to stop calling them “weird”? Maybe they should have let him run with that.
