people, you have the chance to put my book ahead of Olivia Nuzzi’s on the bestseller list. put aside all other considerations and think how objectively funny this would be. #1, that Mountain Goats guy. #2, Antivax Man Has My Heart. funniest list of the century. We can do this if we try

I think "financialize everything and create a tradable asset out of any difference in opinion" might be the worst thing I've ever read the competition is strong but it's a real contender

I’m kind of new to the Democrats, but I thought we were FOR respecting the legal process, and also that we were AGAINST political corruption. And that it was especially important to hold to these principles at this time. But I guess there’s some insider memo I didn’t get that would set me straight?

The WWE Hall of Fame isn’t a place Olivia. It’s an Idea. One that lives in our Hearts. And Brett Hart’s undying bitterness.

There is a fifth wave of ska, beyond that which is known to rude boys

it is crazy that the president is essentially just the project manager for a medium-sized hotel ballroom who tweets things which would yet someone with that actual job fired instantaneously

We're doing pogroms in America now

Admiral Bradley—WHO TO BE CLEAR WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERY DECISION THAT WAS MADE—has my total and complete moral support. I will be keeping him in my prayers, and I will be rooting for him.

i'm joining the war on pete hegseth on the side of the bus

Underrated factor in the Trump-Witkoff-Kushner embarrassing Ukraine “peace” plan flop is the flood of praise they got for a Gaza plan that was also mostly “just tell everyone it’s over then think of how much money we’ll make.”

What a great headline

SCROOGE (Walton Goggins) (VO): It had been seven years Old Marley had been dead. Unless this is known, nothing fantastic can be understood MARLEY (Danny McBride) flings open BEDROOM DOOR: Hey Scrooge what's up you sassy son of a bitch. Who decorated this place Jack the Ripper

The average medieval peasant could not buy a gas station delta 9 gummy and watch “Scooter Fail Compilation 5” on YouTube, which makes it difficult to compare GDP across time

Big news! The groundhog is back at my sister's and she gave him a plum

I'm literally just living a normal life while also experiencing a theophany via communication with the satellite called VALIS.

It's not that complicated. if I got paid like $10k/month posting macedonian culture war slop I'd be posting AI pics as a beautiful macedonian woman saying i can't walk around skopje anymore because of albanian crime

The Only Children of White Collar Professional Parents In The 1990s website is uniquely badly-positioned to have good memories or holiday food

My presidential platform is that all bars should serve a five dollar beer shot combo and serve free roasted peanuts in their shell. The shells go on the floor of course.

You’re gonna see posts that make you think “I agree on principle but you seem unwell.” That’s the bluesky promise.

I don’t think we talk enough about how when Elon Musk went to the Twitter office for the first time he asked the barista to make him “Coffee —microwaved.” That’s gotta be a symptom for sociopathy.

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.* The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

fuck all these people being awful to starfish (and also, this is an opportunity to block a whole bunch of this website’s most brain-dead tankies)

matt yglesias' primary claim about politics is that to win elections, democrats should adopt the strategy which has given starmer a 13% approval rating in the UK

People want to believe that the GOP’s electoral success in red states is the result of dirty tricks and gerrymandering instead of the sincerely held beliefs of a majority of the population because a mechanical issue is easier to fix than wrestling with how to make people not believe what they do.

It is wild to watch people dispute this, lol

I am well aware that they are and will continue to do massive damage to this country but does it feel like they’re on a glide path to successful authoritarian consolidation anymore? I submit that it does not

holy father, i'm offering you a chance to skip this boring lunch. get day drunk with jane and i while we watch clips of the '05 world series on youtube

the thrill of living is gone

The majority of the Odd Lots episodes this week have been about an “AI bubble” or bubble adjacent talk. Tech Policy Press released a podcast episode about a bubble. On top of the reaction the thinking machines valuation I think we’ve reached mainstream concern and it’s only going to get louder.

*rockwell standing guy* we should abolish the filibuster so we can pass laws again rather than giant clusterfuck omnibus bullshit

Misinformation *is* central to democratic problems today, but the solution is *not* to correct such epistemic failures directly. Instead, we must address them at their roots, in social identity. Or so I argue in a new post for @apaphilosophy.bsky.social. blog.apaonline.org/2025/11/12/t...

a decade of working for an employer which was the subject of major public controversy throughout has given me less than zero sympathy for people who affirmatively make the decision to freelance defenses of their employers when they fuck up

Man I resent the idea that New York needs to be unpleasant to live in to be authentic so much, it’s pervasive and it holds the city back in so many ways

I’m thinking about Adam Curtis going after Patti Smith in Hypernormalization for watching the city decay with a cool detachment because it suited her aesthetics

We should aspire to make NYC as comfortable as any other city, its character isn’t formed by “toughing things out”, it’s formed by the people who move here to be around the other people who want to be around the people who live here, and a more affordable city means more cool people.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

QANON CULTIST IN 2017: "In this 1,879 page thread I will unravel the byzantine system of codewords and phrases the global elite use to mask their pedophile cabal." JEFFREY EPSTEIN WRITING AN EMAIL AT THE SAME TIME: "helo its me jeff had fun cmmitting sex crimes wit u lst weeknd"

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

Breaking on MSNBC: Rep. Adelita Grijalva has officially signed the Epstein discharge petition. She was the 218th signature — the final name needed.

"is the president of the united states currently being blackmailed by pedophiles" is a legitimate question with supporting evidence that needs to be investigated

i cannot emphasize enough that this is how the society in The Culture novels, which he claims are his favorite but probably only heard about from Grimes, deals with murderers. it is an anarchist utopia in the far future

a new genre of photo in the last year is federal agents working for ICE pointing guns directly at photographers

you can't just bring back austin powers. the franchise wrote itself into a corner after he volunteered to stay behind forever in the shagadelic dimension to save foxxy and vanessa. they already brought him back once without explaining how he escaped from fembot island, the audience won't buy it

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points
