This seems like an insane step for a bank to take given Musk's lack of ethics and well-documented ambitions of entering the banking sector

there is a sort of darkly poetic quality to ol donny learning the lesson from a buckling american political and legal system that there's no jam he can't wriggle out of and wriggling himself into an uncontrollable regional war and attendant global economic crisis

Experts in WHAT??!?!

“Programs for the poor become poor programs” is so widely known that it’s almost cliche, yet “you wanna give rich people free stuff?!” still gets reheated and served up as an argument against universalism

yes. they pay more based on income in taxes for the thing that is then “free” for everyone. this is how public services work

I think the reason AI propagandists are so flustered by the fact that no real writer wants to use their idiotic tools is that they themselves don't enjoy writing. They see it as a boring arduous chore to be avoided, while real writers actually enjoy writing and actually care about the quality of it.

ME TO MY FRIEND WHEN THE BAND COMES OUT FOR THE ENCORE: Ugh. No, dude, don’t clap, it just encourages them. They’re fucking desperate for attention 🙄

jfk dying because he was worried about *only* polling only 20-30 points ahead of the nearest alternatives in texas

Inspired by McArdle, I asked Claude to estimate her writing output since 2002 and got the following, based on an estimate of 7,700 individual pieces of writing. This corpus is more than sufficient to train an AI to replicate her writing with high fidelity. Why does the Post need to pay her, again?

LRT: i ALSO have a comic in the MAD collection out today, written by THE tini howard, also i think ours is the first comic in there which is where you put the best one

In the spirit of April Fools' Day but without sacrificing the Supper Mario Broth veracity policy, here is a fact that seems so outlandish as to be a joke, but is actually true: in 1993, a Sega ad campaign briefly planned to use profanity to slander Mario.

these days the real april fool is none other than donald trump

I'm not trying to downplay the seriousness of the ruling. But it is limited to one lady in Colorado who may get a preliminary injunction allowing her to perform conversion talk therapy. It's a narrow ruling. The merits are still live. We gotta live in that narrowness. ADF wants us to despair.

so this is an explicit goal of "state collapse"

I've had some requests to make this map available as a poster, and so I have! If you'd like to purchase my map of the eels' life cycle, you can get a copy at my etsy store here: etsy.me/3Nvk5jK The print copy looks like this: #eels #maps

Trump, while shuffling through half a dozen posterboard illustrations of his ballroom on Air Force One: "I thought I'd do this now because it's easier. I'm so busy that I don't have time to do this. But I'm fighting wars and other things. But this is very important..."

there it is, all 7 continents

Tbf if I had this hat I would also wear it enough to fuck up my neck

This iron age man buried in Sussex was so proud of his awesome helmet that he developed an archaeologically detectable neck injury from wearing it so often.

What'd I say, dude? Good lord god above, these idiot racists www.axios.com/2026/03/29/s...

Like the guy or not, Lenin was cooking when he said "Politics begin where the masses are, not where there are thousands, but where there are millions, that is where serious politics begin."

Insurgency is when you fire off sophisticated ballistic missiles but Islamically

Entire internet will rise up in defence of their beloved Cardinal Pizzaballa

oh come on. German capitalists made out like bandits under the Nazis!! Remember the IG Farben trial??

if we're ever going to fix, you know, *gestures* all of this, a real big part of it is making sure* cops don't think they can declare that people no longer have rights. *yes, I realize there's probably no way to make sure of that without getting rid of cops entirely.

"analysis" For the love of fuck why can't these organisations employ people who know what words mean??

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL IS GOING TO HAPPEN

"Revisionist history" isn't a bad thing. In fact, any worthwhile work of history improves, refines and, yes, revises our understanding of the past in some way.

the NYT loves Trump and wants him to rule us like a king

I swear to god half of these statements are because they can’t get their CEOs to stop fucking around with ChatGPT and making demands based on the hallucinations.

Lol

lol wut?????

your sons and daughters died in the heroic effort to recover those sunk costs

Even NBC News is using the "biological females" eugenicist language now.

With 2x MEU’s and the ready Brigade from the 82nd in the AO, Boots on the ground feels like a “no shit” kind of thing but I guess the folks in power will continue to play coy with the whole thing.

so there’s been nonstop leaks since last saturday about trump’s intent to do some kind of ground operation, coupled with a troop buildup

There are so many red flags and legitimate concerns about Flock cameras - privacy, due process, data sharing with ICE. But of course our councilmember doesn’t care too much about any of that. LA needs to cut ties with big tech surveillance companies like Flock.

I agree with the Governor! We need to stop prioritizing parking lots over people in LA too. Google Venice Dell. Start at this story by @liamjdillon.com www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

"the good news is that we have found a relatively cheap and easy way to prevent the cast from going through puberty. the bad news is that not everybody in this room is going to like it".

they have all these ridiculous fantasies about a bunch of literally just rocks a bazillion miles away that's all that's out there within our lifetimes, kids. fucking rocks. you can't live there. it sucks out there. there is no other home

Bari Weiss has destroyed basically every media product she’s ever touched but she keeps getting jobs because that’s what the rich Epstein class freaks in charge of our country want

It's probably not ideal, for a culture shared by about 350M people in a nation we keep being told is first world, one of the best in fact, that this year like 93% of all news, entertainment television & film will be made and distributed by the absolute worst people you ever heard of

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

this is my district, i voted today, the Democrat was outspent literally and this is not an exaggeration 10x to 15x by the Republicans who were running TV ads every 15 minutes of the county sheriff saying the D candidate was a literal criminal while the D campaign couldn't even afford yard signs

We’re in the subprime mortgage bubble crisis of 2010 except instead of something people want like houses it’s over a world poisoning job destroying virtual snake oil

Anytime the US hasn’t been at war over the past 50 years, it has been afflicted by a ‘syndrome’ according to which any failures or defeats in the previous war were caused by a hidden hand/their own citizens/secret brain rays, so I’m looking forward to seeing what Hormuz Syndrome has to offer.
