Anyone who’s been alive since the early 80’s will recall that these people the OP is QTing will trot out this “conservatism is the new punk rock” line every couple years in some vain attempt to argue that they appeal to “the youths” It’s not true, but they desperately want it to be

The Russians entered this war on the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everybody and nobody was going to bomb them.

I mean it’s pretty clear to me that she supports Russia’s actions in Ukraine

i don't care if you think earnestness is cringe. You can be the sneering above-it-all misanthrope, or you can work to change the world for the better. There is no third choice.

At the Republican Women’s Caucus. Truly Inspiring to see hundreds of women in identical pantsuits chanting “Let me check with my husband on that”

I suspect it’s downstream, of the Taibbi-fication of the left punditry industrial complex, but I still find it frankly bizarre how many of these dudebros are exposing such a deep well of toxic masculinity over Platner

Platner very much is a discernible type, but it’s not “flawed but basically decent working class joe.” It’s “prep school creep with a sadistic streak and an ironclad confidence that it will never catch up to him.“

Susan Collin’s is gonna beat that boy Iike a rented mule

The NCIS franchise is not exactly high art but unlike most of modern TV they know how to light their show

Oh damn glhm deactivated Probably not a bad move given the unwanted attention i wish him the best, he’s done nothing wrong

I dug out an old (60s maybe) kid‘s tricycle from under the deck with an eye toward restoring it (which I’ve never done) It’s metal but it’s definitely seen better days Missing some parts too, such as the handlebars and anything that was attached to them. First thing will be to wash off the dirt

It's a shame that "defend your culture" always means "hate strangers different from you" and never "enact anti-pollution laws so that you can go fishing with your grandkids the way your grandpa taught you."

i *will* say that it's funny that none of these are people who ratchet up the rhetoric, it's all basically normie/progressive libs; you'll find a lot of harsh criticism, but not calls to violence or escalation

Like 90% of these are "no fedposting", "please vote", and "peaceful protests are good, actually" accounts. What an odd list for someone who actually did choose to go and try to metaphorically firebomb the walmart.

They're taught separately from others because they continually hurt other kids. The kid who targeted my son (another special ed kid) in the gen ed setting took multiple incidents of violence over the course of YEARS of elementary school before he was finally moved to a separate classroom.

We are gonna have to circle back to this.

That Tame Impala Dracula song came out like a month ago and I don’t think it needed a remix

Up to 1500 now lol

The press everybody…

You don’t understand, influencers only do duck lips when they are in extreme distress!

President Evacuated During Press Corps Dinner And then later the Secret Service got him out of the building

We’re gonna get so many self-righteous takes anout how they continued their back-patting ceremony because it’s just so important.

the irony is that there are many journalists who are threatened and killed for their work globally, except they don’t overlap at all with the people willing to attend the MAGA White House correspondent’s dinner

my political cause is being shitty to any journalist who would attend the WHCA dinner

Ok so 1. I don’t believe the Butler PA thing was staged but 2. i’m keeping an open mind about tonight’s events

Assuming money really is no object here, I’d buy the nearly-defunct rail line in my rural county and run passenger trains on it. Stations every 10-15 miles or so, depending on community needs. For the very infrequent times the local businesses needed freight I’d let them use it as well.

Patently ridiculous We the people do not have a responsibility to journalists They have a responsibility to us, and those in the WHPC have consistently failed to live up to that responsibility in order to maintain their status

I was up until 3 last night finishing a 2-day read of a 1000-page book and I only got 5 hours of sleep but somehow feel well-rested Perhaps the CPAP is helping

oh my god the number of RNs, MDs, and DOs who were little termites eating the hull as the rest of right-thinking society was trying to bail out the water during COVID

a little treat for any Sound of Music fans out there 🎶So long Farewell Auf wiedersehen Adieu Fuck you And you And you, and you, and you

Obviously the lifted truck is at fault here but also who drives a Lambo to TJ Maxx

Hot take: if you put on an event that brings in 20,000 people at $20 per person per day, you should be paying your artists, photographers, videographers and social media manager. I'm talking about Spokane Renaissance Faire, just so we're clear.

(year undetermined, BCE) Babylon cancels ambitious tower project due to unforeseeable communication issues in the workforce

Currently reading a romantasy and every single interpersonal problem is exacerbated by the parties being too stubborn to just talk to each other

Lethal injection sounds to people like its a medical process designed to spare the executed person from pain when its really a pseudo-medical sham designed to spare observers and onlookers from the reality of the violence they're committing.

One of the most politically salient trends of our time is people who are by any objective standard extremely elite constructing an image of “the elites” that conveniently excludes them.

Here’s the thing with Bernie. They love him because he just promises really loudly and never actually DOES anything so they can’t actually be disappointed in him. He’s a carnival barker.

His biggest endorsers very expressly support him because he’s told them he’ll vote like Fetterman.

I think you can dislike Hakeem Jeffries without calling him “AIPAC Shakur,” and in fact calling him that is a guaranteed way to get me to stop caring what you have to say.

the journos tend to be the rich popular kids who weren't the actual smart ones. think about the dimmest kid in an ap gov class. they call it nerd prom because they want to pretend they're intellectuals at a level they've never been able to perform at.

This is the thing for me. I can see daily how AI makes things worse. I’m not a programmer so the whole “it makes coding easier“ bit literally doesn’t matter to me. I don’t care about your workflow I care that I can look something up and know it’s not just a machine hallucination.

The amount of things that bring people joy that AI has *utterly ruined* just keeps growing art! literature! hobbies from crocheting to gardening! all of it is getting fucked up by AI slop but I guess it makes coding easier so we just have to deal with it wrecking everything else

The really offensive part is the way it's always presented as though they're savvy and we're dumb, despite their uninterrupted record of being completely fucking wrong for years and years and years

Thing looks like a pipe organ built by Vogons

Sure the kid is a bit of a reach but historically our first round picks don’t matter nearly as much as the later rounds. And we really, really need bodies at RB.

Anyone else remember when Russell Brand did a bit at an awards show implying he’d fucked all 3 of the Jonas Brothers backstage? It’s like everyone forgot he was always a weird pervert with no boundaries
