Like, this could make sense in isolation but when you integrate the part of “this is supposed to address chronic obesity” it makes no sense at all? “Stopped taking Adderall because I hated the feeling of never having a completely shambolic day. I prefer the consequences of executive dysfunction”

Hot dog car driver strongly spoke out against crashed hot dog car in a speech last night.

How did I only just discover that Don Jr is marrying the daughter of a prominent Epstein enabler? Her late dad, a banker, wrote Epstein a reference letter calling him "a gentleman of the highest integrity" to help get him tax breaks &… his island. Can’t make this stuff up.

What I think I look like when I put on Electric Youth for Carolyn

I’ve been there, buddy. Have a coffee and drag yourself back to Perryville

Now they just gotta fix the part where you paid and they ticket you anyway because their payment lookups are broken

the thing about this is that polis said he didn’t believe her contrition was sincere when he granted her clemency (which is why doing so was an abuse of power), but the parole board who determines her suitability for release should take a look at these statements.

Lucille 3 got a headstart with a cool career and a last name that sounds too close to “Bluth” which is something Mitch Hurwitz would feast on

This is already the greatest Giants season of all time and we’re not even out of May

M’fer said “gustatory”

RIP Grizz Chapman. Kevin "Dot Com" Brown reports that he died today.

He did not “accuse” them of it. He’s a judge. He “found” that they had, in fact, done so. JFC NPR, do better.

The Arlington National Cemetery Memorial apparently has deleted references and information on everyone interred there who wasn’t a white straight man from their database - attempting to sweep their existence under the rug. My thoughts on this obscenity cannot legally be shared on this platform.

“A woozle effect…occurs when frequent citation of previous publications that lack evidence misleads individuals, groups and the public into thinking or believing there is evidence, and non-facts become urban myths and factoids.” (via @gretchenmcculloch.com) [en.wikipedia.org]

"Musk’s racist comments about The Odyssey can’t just be viewed through the lens of an online edgelord identity. It is the same rhetoric driving his global campaign of violent white supremacy, as well as the Trump’s administration “anti-DEI” agenda more broadly."

One of the many stupid things about the legislation saying the museum can only honor “biological” women: For many women, this is unknowable to the Smithsonian! No matter how you define the term!

Buddy is unwell

You're so strong and inspiring! Keep shining! 😊

well, today I learned something new about a song I have been hearing since my early childhood, and I do not know what to think

Literally speed running the whole snake oil thing. These motherfuckers are desperate. www.theverge.com/column/93502...

"Army Mom" and "Crime Mom" are some of the electoral grifts of the modern age the way that "tough-talking prosecutor running for an executive job" was a big grift in the 90s-00s

I know a lot of people are extremely angry about how AI is being used very badly in the world lately. I am right there with you with that level of disenchantment about the visible stuff. AI is not being defeated. It's being used for less-visible things in a big way. It's here for good. Like Excel

That’s not how you catch a fly ball.

Seems that the Times is doing weasel “both sides” things again with its essays and coverage so if you want to see the better half on this, here’s Bill Carter www.nytimes.com/2026/05/16/o...

Or, hear me out, we could electrify the remaining lines and run EMUs instead of buying new coaches. Electric service saves time and money. If the quote is to be believed, this could lock on slow, polluting diesel service for 40 years. www.mta.info/press-releas...

This story, gutting on so many levels, all started with a traffic stop by Baldwin County, Alabama sheriffs. They're part of the 287g program. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Zohran got more votes than 50 sitting U.S. Senators did.

I know the final Late Show guests are supposed to be a big secret, but I can confirm they are actress Jordana Brewster, olympian Ryan Lochte, and musical guest Vonda Shepard. Sorry if that spoils anything, but should be a solid show

Reaping and sowing

Even if you as a critic do not want to stray into the political, neglecting the core circumstances here in favor of distracting rumination about any of these shows not being at their peak is a failure as a critic. Embarrassing, disqualifying, frankly suspicion-arousing. ACAB includes Wesley?

The bad takes are rampant today

Putting aside why Colbert is being canceled — a big thing to put aside! — Morris's argument for cancelling SNL instead basically boils down to "The show isn't as funny as it was when I was younger" which is something every generation says!

No show should be canceled because a network wants to curry favor with the president or because the president doesn't like that show's content. This isn't hard!

Whatever your thoughts about The Boys' finale, it made Elon Musk mad, which the show's creator and cast think is hilarious.

He’s got that Gritty anatomy

Sure, anything is possible. Emerson usually isn’t vastly inaccurate. This is eye-popping. We’re in “ref stop the fight” territory

Buddy, do I have news for you about the governments in Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore if you think Zohran Mamdani's municipal grocery store is some major threat to your freedom. bsky.app/profile/samd...

Is this a safe Taco Bell posting zone ?

Hasn't even been a year and Zohran's governance is having a massive impact on my family. Our daycare was able to open a 15-seat 3K program because of the 2,000 extra seats the admin funded. Everyone we know got in somewhere they wanted. This is gonna save us almost 50 grand.

Ok, I'll add one more thing which was weird that it wasn't noted in this piece - that this lawsuit is a specific and desperate attack on a journalist to try and shut him up and get back at him for printing his own words. It's also an attack on community organizing as an idea.

Train your shitty replacement!

The media interest is the only thing that ended. It’s not breaking news now.

He’s gonna play an hour of noise music
