Strange what some folks understand as political. This was absolutely an explicitly political performance.

main takeaways from the super bowl are the seahawks defense is legit and the ad industry is washed

“1 2 3 in the place to be, mf doom and talib kweli” every five minutes during this super bowl presentation, god damn you danger mouse

the main thing I have to say about this game so far is that "Sam Darnold" sounds like it came from this list

I am really sick to death of having to think about the most evil, greedy, hateful and perverse men on this planet every single fucking day.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

My IRL friend's dad, a Laotian refugee, was seized by ICE and sent to a concentration camp in El Paso. His family is fundraising to afford legal fees. I'd really appreciate it if you could help. gofund.me/383933317

doctor: well mr. yoda, we fixed the language center of your brain. you should talk totally normal now yoda: thanks dude

I'm sorry but this is also just ghastly messaging

Reading about Trivers makes me sick, but also immensely proud of every Federal grant review panel I've ever served on. These dudes cozied up to Epstien because they liked power, but also because their transphobic race science could not survive the cleansing sunlight of scientific peer review.

brad pitt’s introduction as “chad” in burn after reading, where he goes from overstretching a client to looking at a dating site with linda litsky, impeccable work

Giannis has pulled off one of the all-time "glow down" campaigns this year. He's still an amazing player to watch but barring a radical de-cornization intervention it's not looking good for the big fella.

new frontiers in humiliation: scarfing a vegan brat at gestalt haus and a guy sitting near me at the bar was like um excuse me miss you have something on your forehead… and it was a piece of peppercorn from the sausage. and then another guy was like oh my god i thought that was a mole

Imagine being the international Olympic committee and saying yeah, we’re not really into winners

Instead of taking this story’s premise at face value, a more meaningful thought exercise would be to ask why a non-NY paper is reporting out a story on NY property owners
