Yeah the existence of smartphones has been a real destroyer of youth culture, not just because they’re always on them but because anything they do that is awkward or socially risky or embarrassing can get captured and live forever online without their consent Shit sucks

99% chance this will take up Trump’s attention over Iran or anything else

This rules and this series should totally be rebooted

I’m still hoping the pope excommunicates his ass

It’s certainly lazy and cowardly but I’ll still happily support Pritzker

This works so well because the NYT is already conservative, but complaining about it helps whitewash the Republican view points that the NYT passes as neutral.

Oh word?

More Iranian girls we killed to achieve the objective of giving the IRGC complete control of a vital global shipping lane.

There’s a real chance the rest of our lives will see Iran run a toll scheme on this waterway All because Trump couldn’t accept that Obama had a deal with Iran that he couldn’t take credit for So he blew it up so he could just do the same thing but put his own name in it, but this is what we got

You know it’s bad enough we go to war while this guy talks big about Jesus But of course he decided to try and wet his beak at the same time

McDonald’s literally made salad shakers back in the day and they were great, I don’t know why this man stealing the bit is newsworthy

We’ve returned to raiding and reaving, like Vikings

I sincerely hope that teacher is no longer licensed to practice

Same thing that happened to teaching and nursing: once neither were male dominated anymore their social and economic value was diminished

Honestly it’s actually refreshing to have the stupidity of our system laid out so cleanly Makes it super obvious that we have to change it

Republicans are a plague on humanity at large, not just America

Again there is no question that the president has pardoned more people who went on to do more crime than any previous office holder

There is no military value in using mines this way, it only serves to terrify and intimidate the civilian populace These won’t kill soldiers but they sure will kill kids

I miss when scandals counted honestly

Congrats republicans, the disgraced pedophile who got forced out of his job is more morally upright than the disgraced pedophile you’re currently enabling the presidency of

“Put up a statue and he won’t bomb you for at least the next six months”

This is the dumbest “look like you’re doing something meaningful when you’re not” shit I’ve seen from a governor in a while Kids need safe and affordable third spaces, not wasting their time developing a skill that has literally zero practical use. Reading cursive matters, writing it is optional

It’s great we live in a world where the President has had multiple awards invented for the purpose of giving them to him

Is there any thing that can happen where the President will actually say Putin is bad

Yes! JK Rowling is more like Elon Musk than R Kelly. He can't hurt children anymore, but Rowling is actively using her wealth to harm trans people. There are, right now, hate crimes, murders, suicides, and state persecution happening because she can use Harry Potter money to make them happen.

Funny thing about American mass media is how woke content is broadly popular, routinely pays for itself, and sometimes goes blockbuster, whereas right-wing content is a narrow niche that rarely reaches breakeven, never goes blockbuster, and usually requires immense subsidies for it to exist at all.

I hate to tell you that society is gonna be wrestling with this for Trump voters until they finishing passing on sometime next century also yes, I don’t care if you’re a nice actor if you take a paycheck to help payroll hate, none of these people are that hard up for work

Piracy is the moral option there Enjoy your problematic faves, just don’t feed their bank accounts

We took their model nationwide with our current administration

"There are really good people in both the Federation and the Dominion, and I have private conversations with Gul Dukat and Weyoun and they agree about what's wrong. But they're unwilling to say these things to the Founders. And so the occupation of Bajor continues, but they're really good people."

I saw an interesting argument a few weeks ago along these lines (about AI ads specifically) It boils down to the idea that young people see AI as a tool for bullshitting people (teachers, parents, whoever) but they don't want to be on the receiving end of BS, and they're keenly aware when it happens

YOU CANNOT BE A UNITED STATES SENATOR IN PRIVATE

I feel this so hard every day. Every part of life is some far away oligarch demanding some change take place that makes our lives worse while personally enriching them

I hope he has to deal with this shit for the rest of his life

Paying a billion dollars to literally NOT get energy infrastructure Republicans finding exciting new ways to fuck Americans

I strongly encourage every American to visit the Gettysburg battlefield site, look down from Little Round Top, and decide for yourself whether Lee was a “brilliant military tactician.”

Pritzker is correct to drill down on Stephen Miller, who he accurately understands is like a less charismatic Nosferatu

We’ve done a great job preserving our alliances haven’t we

The USPS IS NOT LOSING MONEY. THE USPS IS SPENDING TAX DOLLARS ALLOCATED TO IT BY THE BUDGET. THE USPS SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO ZERO OUT ITS BALANCE SHEET IT IS NOT A BUSINESS IT DOES NOT HAVE SHAREHOLDERS. IF THE USPS IS OUTSPENDING ITS BUDGET IT SHOULD BE ALLOCATED MORE BUDGET.

Also if it matters to you then tell your Congressman to let them raise their rates! Why would we expect a “business” who has no control over what they charge to be successful

Ah so we’re going with “actually this giant problem isn’t even a real problem so let’s not discuss it”

I’m surprised they’re not also getting promoted to DHS or ICE

mind-boggling to me that i still have yet to see a single democrat utter the phrase “every republican president of your lifetime has destroyed the economy and started a war”

Yeah but wouldn’t have put a guy with a Deus Vult tattoo in that job to begin with

Least aware religious fanatic I’ve ever seen.

tax him harder and twice on Tuesdays

Current state of Street Fighter lore

Trouble with Iran and stagflation The GOP president is doing a Carter but intentionally

A first-time candidate who came onto the scene as a young TikTok’er getting over 25% in a crowded primary against other elected officials seems like an objectively strong electoral performance, whatever your thoughts on the candidate might be. She did something right with voters:
