Ruben Gallego is the first man in history whose politics get better the more cocaine he does

starting to feel like there's a direct relationship between the growing obsession with lifestyle hygeine (no drinking, no caffeine, no sex, obsessive working out and looksmaxxing) and the inability to meaningful moral stands on issues of actual import

Noam Chomsky and Stephen Pinker say Epstein was an intellectual force with a mind like steel trap and then his e-mails read like the ending of Flowers for Algernon.

they really did genuinely believe protestors and activists were mostly just paid operatives acting on behalf of NGOs the fact that opposition against them has only increased since then is deeply confusing and upsetting

I sort of am becoming a statue posting “REMEMBER WHAT THEY TOOK FROM YOU” because they are in fact taking things from me, right now.

these people got annoyed by some grad students on the internet in 2020 and projected it on to joe biden for some reason. bizarre behavior.

Maine Senate Primary

It’s weird how this debate focuses either on reactionary “we’re being replaced!!!” Anxieties or bleeding heart “well we need to support families” and not “hey an economy where everyone works in eldercare is gonna be fairly unproductive and suck for workers”

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

The Venezuela attack is about getting oil the same way that rape is about getting laid

Most of the derangement about Mamdani is for the obvious reasons but part of it is also that a surprising amount of people were committed to the Cuomo rehabilitation project because they hated the idea that anything could have consequences for men of the right class.

The funniest part is that the whole point of funding the crusades was to send your potential sources of domestic political instability (loud, violent lunatics) off on a mission where, worst case scenario, they were out of your hair for several years or, best case scenario, they died.

Still unreported, should be investigated: ICE shot Richard outside a mall. I visited mall security office. Guard said ICE and LAPD came in, used thumb drive to copy mall’s video footage, and THEN DELETED THE EVIDENCE from mall’s local drives. He showed me the missing timeline part saying “no data.”

It's such a great Shibboleth for dumbasses. Who cares that you don't like either party? Why do you need to like any party? Democracy does not require that you feel warm feelings toward a party.

And there it is. Per the WSJ piece on pardons a couple days ago, Trump pardoned Cuellar to try and get him to flip parties It won’t get much oxygen now, but that might approach Trump’s first impeachment territory in terms of trying to use his powers for naked political gain

It did not "go viral". It was intentionally filmed and disseminated using a network of coordinated bots, amplified by an algorithm designed to spread this kind of content quickly. This was a harassment campaign, intended to silence everyone. Call it what it is.

Trump is in many ways the natural endpoint of Reaganism and Gingritchian partisanship, but it's in a logical extreme way, not an inevitable conclusion way

Lions are simply a flawed, mediocre team. The defense can’t cover squat and the offense goes quiet for large stretches. The people catastrophizing are wrong though. This isn’t some inevitable crash

I am at most 15% kidding when I say that one of Jake Paul’s opponents finally turning down the money to take a dive for the chance to send his jaw 180° like Daffy Duck’s beak when Elmer shoots him is one of the strongest vibe shift indicators yet.

They booked a bunch of 14 year old models to come to a Mar A Lago party, told them to dress sexy and tried to ply them with alcohol.

And my second caveat in response to a lot of responses—this isn’t an argument that men being lonely isn’t happening. This is an argument that loneliness is not exclusive to men and that the reigning discourse around MALE loneliness is really about unmet expectations for women

Why is everyone goddamn insane nowadays?

One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.

It's quite similar to Trump's version of masculinity -- whiny, loud, performative, aggrieved -- just in a different pitch, and with a different accent.

"My child was perfect and has been replaced by a changeling baby," but in the year 2025.

I think also part of what the internet did was allow disparate rural areas to form cross-cultural bonds with other rural areas. It’s forming a rural culture that’s just their shared resentment to cosmopolitanism rather than like something that was just a little less exposed.

They are running the government according to the logic of right-wing grievance media. I cannot emphasize that enough. The point is to create content, and they don't see an actual difference between dunking on Sabrina Carpenter, passing legislation, and bombing other countries.

"There's a quasi cult of accelerationist satanic Nazis who manipulate teens into giving them CSAM and then try to blackmail them into commit suicide and Big Balls the DOGE kid used to sell them DDOS protection services" is both real and impossible to communicate to normies.

one of but many bullet points on my list of immigration reforms: immediate unconditional citizenship for anybody who can pass an NFL viewer Turing Test if you know when to complain about bad pass interference calls you deserve the right to vote

80s: Japan is the future 90s, 00s: Japan in dying country typified by stagnant incomes, xenophobia and toxic, sexless nerd culture Now: oh, that WAS the future

The thing about Hunter's benders is that he didn't want to invite elites to them because he was, on some level, ashamed of his own behavior in a way none of the elites ever were.

Every backwards rural shithole in the history of the entire world has been a hotbed of reaction but everyone from French radlibs to Chinese communists thinks they’re the ones who are going to turn it around. There is nothing new under the sun.

Literally the only thing keeping your horrendous rain-soaked shithole of a country afloat is immigration.

John Fetterman has a finance degree and an MBA from the University of Connecticut. He has some kind of certificate from Harvard and worked in insurance until he got into politics. Just because he’s big and dresses like shit doesn’t make him any manlier than any other accountant.

they are not beating the allegations that this was about their ability to fly home and basically nothing else

We love a genuine class traitor don’t we folks

American left-wing patriotism is Jewish guys signing Christian anti-slavery hymns about the first Muslim mayor of New York and I think that’s beautiful

Carolyn O'Neocon (D-VA) - Career Federal Employee, retired (won't say agency) - local campaign chair, HW '92 and Dole '96. - the Republican Party must be destroyed - beloved grandmother

United States ends up still being the global hegemon because everyone else is either too miserly or too racist to want to take up that mantle

Watching the gigantic corporations that dominate our economy become increasingly disconnected from such basic concepts as "we should make products people want to buy" and "making money is a good idea" is slowly driving me insane

A main problem with government now is that Congress doesn’t want to do their jobs. Congress gave POTUS authority to do stuff like levy taxes, and the attempts to return that power (e.g Obama requesting auth for Libya) have been met with whining. They don’t want to make tough votes just blame others

there’s something distasteful in the way people describe the poor as having only their economic plight guide their values. it feels almost condescending, as though they can’t walk and chew gum and think that disrespecting an historic office is bad.
