The people who have given in to this don't realize what they've done to themselves. My inlaws voted for Trump. My kids know it. They'll live past 90, and because these are their formative years, that's what they'll remember about them. There's nothing else to remember. Legacy locked in.

i guess the reason that i'm sufficiently triggered by this is that i am extremely familiar with the tone which extremely wealthy attorneys use to scream at their subordinates

many things are bad, but david byrne performing psycho killer again is extremely, extremely good

I'm a broken record but First Amendment protection is the one, single fucking only thing in American governance that is sincerely, truly the best in the world. nobody else has this level of freedom backed up by this strong a body of jurisprudence that's been loath to restrict it. it's our Best Thing

The fact that Jimmy Fallon will eventually be the last late night guy standing is the most powerful indictment anyone could make of him

🚨👀 Seems like a BFD - Sen Van Hollen calls out New Yorkers like Chuck Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand, Hakeem Jeffries for “spineless politics” bc of not endorsing Mamdani. Great to see CVH speaking w moral clarity w/o fear. More of this please. 🔥

Haven't seen holding like that by a Swede in the greater Chicago area since Nicklas Lidstrom was getting away with it all those years. I mean folks

Lmao Rao's... exclusivity and notoriously mid food is exactly the kind of mix that appeals to MAGA

One Merger After Another

I’m not sure there’s a lot the Feds can do here and if he makes a big deal about it people will blame him for not fixing it. I think he should do it.

some of you need to make like travis kelce and engage with a tailor swiftly

Five municipal grocery stores in a city of 8 million people is unrealistic and a harbinger of our descent into communism, but mailing every single American household healthy food? Very Serious People want you to know it’s totally doable.

sometimes an ordinary man--a foolish man, a man with no ideas and fewer insights, a man destined for bathos and mediocrity--is thrust into a role of tremendous historical importance: the guy who teaches everybody the problem with dual class stock

They say phones only make us miserable but I just got this news alert and laughed for a solid minute so who is to say

I’m still thinking about the woman in D.C. yelling “your father never loved you” out her car window at them.

We need a law that says if you're only driving your car for fun, you must do it on a race track. And if you are driving a car for transportation, it must have a speed regulator, and your phone will be disabled as soon as you enter the vehicle.

Want a trillion hits on YouTube? Get a bunch of kindergarteners who live in DC, Chicago, NYC, and LA to read grown republicans’ tweets about how scared they are of those cities

It's called "Japandroids seminal 2012 album 'CELEBRATION ROCK'"

It's some bullshit that they named it "The Golden Bachelor" instead of "Statin Island" and whatnot.

People give lawyers well deserved shit for being crap politicians but we are an ontologically evil profession while doctors are supposed to be helpful. And yet.

i have moved big distances to new cities i haven’t known and i have traveled a *whole* lot more and no one is more interested in learning about a new city than someone that’s been there less than five years and no one is less interested in learning anything new than someone who grew up there

AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

I have always bullied the lounge weirdos and I will now be even more committed to giving them swirlies - metaphorical and otherwise.

this is the way rich people think about health insurance

imagine fleeing the Vietnam War and in your arms you're carrying a baby who will one day grow up to correct the US Secretary of Defense on his jeans. like bringing a football into the end zone

This is why you chop these things up when you take them down: to ensure that no matter who gets their hands on them, they will forever look stupid ad hell.

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

mfw Republicans tell me if Trump goes to jail, that means Bill Clinton does as well

The clerks where I get my lunch said a man came in last week and asked them where the public entrance to 26 Federal Plaza was. He locked his bike outside, and it’s been there since.

As a childless bachelor, I somehow understood this was wrong from the get go

Life isn’t a fucking debate club, ideas exist in context and the idea that it’s a sign of enlightened thinking to hear out things that are clearly bullshit from people that are clearly being dishonest is poison.

That's cool. I look forward to not watching this netflix original slop a thon just like the last one.

Oh no

We can confirm that glonzo has acquired enriched uranium.

Well well well, if it ain't the entire ethos of the red scare/dirtbag left crowd. Rebel without a cause is easy, believing in something and fighting for it is not only hard, but worse, uncool in those folks eyes.

Colbert should just run for President. I mean, it worked for Trump when his show was cancelled.
