Gotta admit "the font is DEI" is a stage of absurdity I could not have predicted

"I'm not in denial, I'm in open rebellion" damn that quote goes hard

Couple of things here: 1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently 2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts" 3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring" 4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

Instant all-timer here:

For the record, I will be swearing in on Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower after I’m elected.

It's fucking hilarious to me that these people always manage to let Milo worm his way back into their discourse, where he then promptly starts blowing shit up. He is, always has been, and always will be, a messy bitch that thrives and perpetuates chaos.

NEW on CNN: In several old videos we found, Pete Hegseth blasted Trump in 2016 warning he could issue unlawful orders that troops should refuse, calling him an “armchair tough guy” with five draft deferments. Now he’s attacking Democrats for saying same. LINK: www.cnn.com/2025/12/08/p...

The purpose of a system is what it does. This is what our system does.

From a while back but... evergreen

The number of convicted criminals in immigration detention is about 1.8x what it was when Trump took office. The number of people with no criminal record whatsoever — who are detained solely for immigration reasons — has shot up **25.5x** open.substack.com/pub/austinko... (via @austinkocher.com)

Man fuck QT. Lillard has given some great performances.

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while

Wow. Tracy Beth Høeg, the FDA's new acting director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) just put this slide up during her presentation to ACIP. We have left reality.

not the top-voted reply, but this is a hilarious way to troll white people

In 2021 I spotted Gen-Z MAGA influencer Lance Johnston on a livestream at Nick Fuentes’ annual groyper conference, held outside the TPUSA summit. He covered his face, not wanting to be seen with the other groypers on camera. This week Johnston joined the Pentagon press corps

Going to start using "HAIL THE CAT CHRIST" as my go-to exclamation.

Trump may have accidentally pardoned the pipe bomb guy?

Gonna be hilarious if as @patterico.Bsky.social suggests Trump's corrupt 1/6 pardon protects the pipe bomber

Was thinking a few weeks ago that I hadn't heard anything about Singh in a while. I guess she had that thought too and found something horrible to get attention over.

Whiskey Pete tried to attack the reliability of @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social by noting that there was one EXTRA text in what Whiskey Pete turned over, on top of what Goldberg published. This was that text. legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

A safety volunteer accused of fatally shooting a man taking part in a “No Kings” protest last June in Salt Lake City while firing at another man he believed to be a potential mass shooter has been charged with manslaughter, prosecutors announce.

Same thing goes for standup comics

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

My conservatism peaked in college when I called myself a libertarian. At my current rate by the time I'm 50 I'll be living in a commune and pipe bombing banks.

Indiana Republicans have unveiled their proposal to re-gerrymander the congressional map & expand their current 7-2 majority to 9-0. The Dem-held 1st would flip to Trump+12 & the 7th to Trump+19. All 7 GOP seats would be at least Trump+18. Interactive map: davesredistricting.org/maps#viewmap...

Do you use AI on the job? Execs: 87% Managers: 57% Workers: 27% You could replace execs with a magic 8 ball or that octopus that predicts World Cup outcomes and get equal or better output, imo.

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:

looking very normal sir, let's rush this photo out right away

I often wonder if Trump ever sees the photos from the official White House photographer before they go out because they frequently make him look like a lunatic
