Trump’s ramblings about how we can get rid of income taxes and replace them with tariffs lays bare the basis for the Republican platform Income taxes raise $2.6 TRILLION a year The top 10% of households pay 72% of this figure, or $1.8 TRILLION, or an average of $140,000 per household /1

Oh my. When you've lost the Babylon Bee …

you can immediately clock WKRP fans just by seeing whose face lights up with these 10 little words: "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."

I’m not even “into” Jack White, but this is one of the best halftime shows I’ve ever seen

I'm starting to think this Olivia Nuzzi person isn't totally on the level.

Chat GPT has 800 million weekly actives, over 3.6 billion uniques and over 2 billion prompts per day Assuming one ad every 10 prompts and ad revenue per 1000 users of $10, they would earn $2 million a day If they target well and deliver one ad per user per week at $40, they earn $1 billion a year

All but one of these states voted for Trump Elections have consequences

Shocker: the 10 states with the highest obesity rates all voted for Trump Mullin’s state is #6 at 39% The 8 states with the lowest obesity rates voted all voted for Kamala www.usnews.com/news/best-st...

I love Thanksgiving We always have friends over, always make phenomenal dishes, and we intentionally make too much so everyone has leftovers for days The holiday actually accomplishes its intended result, making us acknowledge how fortunate we are Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow babies

22/26 states with the highest ACA subsidies voted for Trump. Under the big ugly bill, those subsidies evaporate on January 1 These people voted for the face eating leopard party and are due for a massive shock when leopards eat their faces www.beckerspayer.com/payer/states...

this is your regular reminder that not only will the AI bubble pop at some point, it will take Elon Musk with it

This is one of the funniest clips from the show that brought us "fellow babies"

Call me an optimist, but I think things on the right are falling apart very swiftly and Trump’s air of invincibility is a few months shy of life support. That said, I am wrong a lot.

I don’t “know” anything, but the Yankee payroll plus luxury tax is $378 million. They have to fund minor leagues and team operations, likely another $100 million. Ticket sales are huge, but likely cover stadium operations No clue what their revenue is, but I think no profits is a plausible outcome

Sacks knows as much about AI as Elon knows about government efficiency These tech bros are experts on everything, because they stayed in a Holiday Inn Express once

My kids have measles, I lost my job, and I'm going to die because RFK Jr. cancelled the clinical trials that might have cured my cancer. But at least I know there won't be any same-sex couples in the next Frozen movie.

If they charge Kelly, every aspect of the multiple extrajudicial killing orders will be discoverable, in order to allow Kelly to defend himself against any argument that the orders given were legal He wins anyway, but can embarrass Hegseth in the process Dumb move by Hegseth

maybe i am going insane

The DoJ can simply re-indict IF it can find a competent attorney and convince a competent Grand Jury to do so Yes, the statute of limitations has run on Comey, but not on James

But I’m sure it is being postponed for only two weeks . . .

Bad take AI will permit self driving cars and smart traffic flow to minimize energy consumption

The 77 people murdered were “noncombatants” (unarmed and not attacking anyone) Their boats had ranges of 200 miles or less and they were 1000 miles from the US Killing them is clearly illegal

I highly recommend Del Toro’s Frankenstein on Netflix. He made changes to the novel to make the film far more interesting and touching. Really good, right up there with Sinners as one of the best of 2025

Ian Miles Cheong: Everyone must go back to the country where they are born. Please don't tell people I'm living in Malaysia, where I was born, but spend my entire life complaining about America. Ian Miles Cheong: *has been secretly living in Dubai this whole time*

What do Brits know about what is legal, anyway? Oh, yeah, they are the home of the Magna Carta and “common law” They know a lot, and they agree that extrajudicial killings with no evidence and no due process are patently illegal

A family taco box (12 tacos) is $21.99 in Oneonta Alabama and $23.79 in Seal Beach CA Worth $1.80 so the server can make $15/hour more

Only someone this wealthy would so flippantly suggest you uproot your life, sell your house, pull your kids out of school, quit your job, request a transfer — all to save 50 basis points on CPI. 🤡

The single thing that makes this true is that minimum wages are higher in blue states ($16.50 in CA vs $7 in AL), which allows people to live a better life The rest of us pay a bit more for a burger (fast food minimum is $22 in CA) and low income earners can afford to pay rent

This is the way!

This kid is brilliant. Voice of a generation.

20 years ago today Xbox 360 launched. The power was never the console - it was you. You camped out at midnight, built lasting communities, and showed us what gaming could mean. You made that generation endure for two decades. Thank you.

Hungary’s population is 1 million more than NY City. Someone should ask Trump’s new BFF Mamdani if he thinks the EU should support Ukraine

"Look, the Fed can do a lot of things, but what it can't do is lower the price of imports. It can't make it so there are more workers for California farmers to help pick the crops." These are self-inflicted supply shocks, and the Fed can't magically undo them. (The White House can.)

find me a photo of him looking at any of his sons this way, I’ll wait

Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist? MAMDANI: I've spoken about-- TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

At the risk of being charged with Sedition . . . The orders to execute people on boats in international waters without charges or a trial are illegal Trump can claim we're "at war" with narco terrorists, but even narco terrorists are entitled to due process Obeying illegal orders is illegal

Elections have consequences Farmers are victims of Trump's tariffs Democrats bailed them out the last time they were hurting, and they paid that favor back by electing Trump again. I think they should hold their breath and see if their pal Mike Johnson can deliver a bailout with only R votes

And Costco rotisserie chickens are still $4.99 Those things (not gasoline) are considered "loss leaders" to drive store traffic

whatever the Xai people did to make grok speak more positively about its owner seems to be backfiring

Still underperforming Fartcoin. 💩

I’m old enough to remember the fake outrage and calls for civility from Trump after Charlie Kirk was assassinated
