The thing that gets lost in the headline is that though a miracle for Huntington’s’ sufferers, this technique and the lessons learned are going to pay dividends in other diseases that we can’t even begin to comprehend if we just go “oooh cool!” This stuff has *momentum*

Shocked not that shocked dot gif

run on a promise to tear that fucking thing down on day 1. Like make the inaugural committee fundraising just for a big ass wrecking ball and tickets to sit in the cab and take a swing.

I mean maybe? On the one hand it seems like an obvious way to stab an icy fear dagger right into a person's soul. On the other, given that people KEEP GIVING THE MAN INTERVIEWS suggests that maybe nobody has any idea who he is and what he does and thus this service would have few customers.

Jesus Houdini Christ, this is great.

A very big Onion announcement: The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece. It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile. It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd. Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

Nitpick it in the writers room and put “John McCain’s daughter, Meghan…” first but let’s not get overly critical. Always lead with the most critical information (nepotism-fueled hypocritical psychopath does hypocrisy)

One of the most profoundly bleak statements I’ve ever seen

Bullshit… I just turned 39.

Friday: a prosecutor is forced to resign bc he concludes there's not enough evidence to go after Trump's perceived enemies Saturday: Trump makes public post asking Attorney General why she hasn't gone after his enemies Wednesday: DOJ says enemy indictment coming right up sir do I have that right?

It's really telling that the one thing that truly sent this woman over the edge was the person who was recording this video just laughing at her. Laugh at these weird little guys at every opportunity. It's better than they deserve, and because they're so frail, it will cut them to the bone.

Whoa

BREAKING: Florida cop treated for autism after exposure to tylenol during traffic stop

I love that our president is clearly mental ill and we all just have to accept that.

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

MAGA refusing vaccines primarily causes their own suffering with the negative externality of increasing pathogenic spread MAGA refusing to take Tylenol when they have headaches/fevers exacerbates their suffering without the negative externalities. So. Well. Whatever, idiots.

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

Please. My god please

Sometimes I get the tiniest random snippet of UK politics completely devoid of context and almost always I react by wondering: wtf is happening on those islands

Testing a theory: reskeet if "every ICE agent will be unmasked and tried for their crimes" would get your vote

I changed up some Charlie Kirk quotes and substituted 'MAGA' in various places. Republicans shouldn't be offended because I'm just sharing an opinion. It's totally harmless. Just call it free speech on the flip side. I'm ready for my podcast now. Just JOKING. #RepublicanHypocrisy #FreeSpeech

Charlie Kirk on Pope Francis:

THIS is the kind of order judges should be issuing against performative complaints.

lol the whole read is great.

Evangelicals warped the world around them to fight the antichrist. But when a man arrived who perfectly fit every warning & description, they gave him the keys to the kingdom.

So obviously the new version of “I can ride the tiger [control trump]” is “I will be able to ride the tiger [control vance]/Vance won’t have the charisma/pull/juice/ability to control the Trump cult of personality to do the truly evil stuff in his heart”

Look I was already on board with him, but he’s showing he might just have the critical insights necessary for the moment. (Can’t wait for the first encyclical, when he challenges Vance to a duel and my support turns full meme)

1. More than one thing can be true. 2. MAHA is full of grifters and lunatics. 3. High fructose corn syrup is largely a subsidy driven scam. 4. lol, eat shit grassley and co

May every one of them <redacted>

Cover art for "Company of Ghosts" from J. Kyle Turner. The book just released, you can check it out here: www.amazon.com/Company-Ghos...

Gotta design clothes with QR codes that inject malicious code that bricks these fucking things.

Well in fairness to Scott walker, what kilmeade said was consistent with fox’s organizational principles.

Yeah this is a guy who saw a bullet find Kirk and realize that his class interest (political pundit) might be a target in the American Years Of Lead.

Far more dangerous than Trump, I think, is how quickly the last eight months have pulled back the curtain on America's elites and shown everyone how venal, how cowardly and how utterly mediocre the foundation of our society has been.

We remember people like Cato and Cicero as power centers that failed in the face of dictatorship, but I think there were dozens ineffective senators that history forgot but who were integral to the end of the republic. Anyway, I wonder if Schumer/Jeffries will be unlucky enough to be remembered.

Just the softest people imaginable.

It is genuinely humiliating as an America to have this sour, cowardly, narcissistic lout represent us and to know that so many Americans applaud conduct like this. Just deeply embarrassing.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics. The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

Chaotic neutral dining

I realize “fight online over every piece of digital battlefield like it’s paschendale” is Stancil’s whole *thing* but I honestly can’t put myself In the headspace of someone with this dedication to arguing with strangers on the internet with a level of bloodlust that makes Khorne a little jealous.

If I had f you money I’d stand up a local news “paper” (blog, digital masthead) in basically every county seat in America, staffing it with a couple HS kids to cover local HS sports and then also to just slip in commentary on how casually evil the right is. Train up reporters, sneak good word out.

We could have been providing military aid to Ukraine. We could have been building our partnerships in the Pacific. We could have strengthened Europe’s defense industrial base. We could have helped build state capacity in South America. What a fucking disaster this has all been.

For the umpteenth time: Today’s Republican Party does not believe in, and cannot handle, free speech.👇

Do you realize how evil you have to be to keep doing this? These people are completely soulless.

Right, at the end of the day Miller has erotic fantasies about throwing libs out of helicopters and Vance thinks he's Sulla. The state repression is either all talk, or it isn't, and then posting doesn't matter. Panic is preemptive compliance. These scum have earned your contempt, not your fear.

Implicit in the third thing he says is that breaking the law won’t matter to the first two.

Really feel like an AI collapse is going to be a necessary prerequisite to me participating in society and not just becoming a modern day Boo Radley.
