This AI slop posted by Trump is amazeballs. In it, he: * Depicts himself as the literal the second coming Jesus, but * Is somehow flanked by eagle versions of Huginn and Muninn from Norse mythology, and * I guess is working with the Nazgûl Witch-king of Angmar from Lord Of The Rings? (top center)

This is GORGEOUS

Certain writers (*cough* NYT Opinion *cough*) overread the durability of illiberal nationalism and scoffed at pro-democracy appeals, but they only listened to each other, never allowing alternate opinions into their elite bubble. That left them unable to grasp everything from Hungary to Minneapolis.

I can't even imagine running for office because I'll think about some oppo researcher interviewing a guy I went on a date with. "She fished a shrimp out of her bra and ate it and the whole thing and it didn't even pause her stupid rant about 19th century railroad barons." Yet Swallwell...

good, hopeful thread

hear me out when it comes time for russia's next election we get jd vance to go campaign for putin

Damn if I am this happy that Orban is gone.... I can't even imagine the feeling I will have

😬

What made me the angriest about “The Benedict Option” is that the actual St. Benedict welcomed outcasts of any ethnicity/kinship group into his communities, abolished any worldly distinctions between them, and insisted on a level of egalitarianism previously unknown.

I mean, let's be real here: this place is gonna forget that Hungary exists in a week so we might as well squeeze the joy out of it while we can.

Let me top it up…with cynicism!

Weirdly, in my real life I am a really glass-half-full guy.

As a treat to myself, I'm imagining this idea actually of mass-expulsion for similar scandals becoming an actual thing and having about 100 total sitting members of congress by year's end.

Okay, sure, but there are five whole continents where Vance didn’t take an L this week.

I mean, the guy literally wrote a book about how the need to save civilization by creating physical communities/cities/states where only people who looked and thought like him should ever be allowed to live.

A Confession: For the longest time Dreher legit had me snowed; I really did believe that he was a true-believing 'useful idiot' in regards to Orbán and Hungary. But it's been pretty clear for a while now that he 100% knew exactly what was what every step along the way.

When you get greedy and ask for two Saballys but mom says you can only have one.

Straight up, if you weren’t a Sky fan when we were in second to last place, don’t come hopping on the bandwagon when we are third from last place 😌 #WNBA

"He's bored with the job" was my thought on hearing him doing this goofy (Derogatory) new thing. it's like when I used to play SimCity and got sick of the city I built so I just kept sending disasters and then Godzilla

All these signings and trades happening at once. #WNBA

Terrific piece. This is what actual partisan capture of campus speech looks like

Household got cheese & herbs eggs, country sausage, and strawberry butter toast plated. Im busy so made mine a sandwich on sourdough toasted eat on the go #blueskysupperclub

1/2 Yes, but also no. If you see a random five second clip of some rando saying something, sure, there may well be more context you should but probably never will know before you attempt to destroy their lives, so maybe don't do that. But what Klein is talking about people *here*... (cont)

You thought the Liberty were a super team before? Look at them now. New York signing Satou Sabally sends a clear message for this season: It's championship or bust nypost.com/2026/04/11/s...

one reason you dont elect racists is they think “it will be so easy” to win a war in the middle east based on nothing more than what they believe is their superior dna

I think the correct prism to view Klein in these instances is that he understands in a way his readers do not that his entire industry is just unserious & disingenuous hot takes for entertainment. His peers aren't morally good or bad, nor are their takes; it's all just performance.

I'm sorry I know this is all incredibly serious and bad, but the reveal that one of the big VIP celebs Trump chose to rub shoulders with while the Iran negotiations are going on is Vanilla Ice is legit hilarious and I cannot stop laughing.

"Interesting" in the same way Bigfoot is interesting.

Idiocracy but make it more stupid

Wow. The Liberty not only resigned all three of their all-NBA core players - Stewart & Ionescu last week, and apparently Jones today - they somehow managed to sign another MVP caliber in Satou Sabally. (This makes losing Sabally's sister Nyara in the expansion draft much easier to swallow.)

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but historically speaking every American political party I can think of has been pretty much fine with sexual assault & harassment if it's from their own people. Dems were (mostly) really good about it during the #metoo, but that was largely an aberration.

BTW and FWIW, I have no idea if there is sufficient opposition to Orbán to vote him out and unseat him. But if it does happen, I would expect the lesson learned by the American right is going to be that it needs to be *more* anti-democratic & authoritarian than Orbán, not less.

We treat women so poorly in this country that I try to have empathy for them doing whatever it is they need to get by, but that being said I hope there is some punishment in the afterlife for successful career women who get rich rich & famous shaming other women for doing what they themselves do.

JD Vance, a disturbed idiot, trying to negotiate with Iran while Trump is at home screaming crazy things about Iran is a great example of how utterly demented American politics have become.

I refuse to have an intelligent discussion on the Iran war. It’s not worth my time. “Shouldn’t have started it” That’s it. No point in having a discussion beyond that simple point

what kind of question is that to even ask in a headline

A couple of days ago I saw an AI generated mashup of Chuck Norris showing up kicking villains in classic movies and I thought, well that's at least a *little* clever. Today on FB there's a similar one but it's Norris beating up various real-life women the right hate, because of course there is.

This is so funny

This is one of those breaking stories that I feel certain broke a long time ago?
