I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

To clarify why it's so important to deconstruct historic structures instead of just demolishing blindly when undertaking a renovation, the Saenger Theater in New Orleans was restored & modernized in 2010-2013. Blueprints were long lost but during deconstruction, THEY FOUND A FULL SET IN A CRAWLSPACE

This remains the funniest way to hear about an internet outage, though.

My favorite part of the newly released Amelia Earhart files is about her refusal to fly a Sopwith Camel loaded with human excrement to be dumped on the Bonus Army.

I'm just a lowly art historian, but in moments like these I always think back to one early sign of Trump's wanton, pointless destructiveness: his demolition of the priceless & irreplaceable Art Deco relief sculptures on facade of the Bonwit Teller building, which he tore down to build Trump Tower

“No normal American could ever afford to have something like this made” lol set my aunt free in hobby lobby with $20, she’ll have it done in 2 hrs

it is funny how much studio executives dislike making money

this is what we could have

“Rather than AI being able to enhance human innovation, critical thinking, the progress of science—it’s being used to exploit our insecurities. That’s the thing about so many of these Silicon Valley tech bros. They’re essentially emotionally maladapted psychopaths.” Speaking nothing but the truth.

“.. They are the asylum seekers, the rule followers. They go into the federal building holding papers .. hoping for a measure of due process. Some leave the courthouse with a hearing date set months or years from now. Others disappear into ICE’s prison system.” @nymag.com nymag.com/intelligence...

“Buck naked” is unclothed. “Butt naked” is unclothed and up to something.

The Leverage actors getting on social media to swear they were not in Paris is the content we deserve.

There’s a limit to the “imagine if Obama” retort but Christ on a cracker the man is *literally* demolishing the White House!

I log off for one day, one single day, and the Louvre gets god tier heisted and the president of the USA starts bulldozing the White House

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

Not scary.

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

Just to be clear, this isn't an invitation to create this AI image. AI is a nightmare, we don't use it, not against Trump, not against anyone. Real people, real art, real visuals. No slop here.

With the AWS outage, now‘s as good a time as any to post this old strip.

(shouting to the press secretary) Can you confirm whether the diarrhea was pre-loaded onto the aircraft or was it coming directly from the president's Ass?

Writing is great. You invent a little guy, you can even make him a nice little guy. And then you shake him as hard as physically possible and give him the worst day of his life. Love it.

one of my absolute favorite things is when musicians lose their shit at Republicans for appropriating their songs and I am particularly delighted to see Kenny Loggins joining the list

the truth is that this isn't a theocracy and jesus isn't my fucking king

On Sunday, a DOJ whistleblower told 60 Minutes what the public has suspected for months now: The Trump administration told him to lie to a judge about Ábrego García. trib.al/TE5xu42 "What’s to stop them if they decide they don’t like you anymore? To say you’re a criminal, you’re a member of MS-13?"

"The evil Jew is funding the entire US left" is a piece of rank, obvious antisemitism that we have just collectively decided to accept in public, because IOKYR.

This is like a Leverage episode, I swear. Sophie: "I have crafted an elaborate cover story with a long con-" Parker: "Nah, it's ok. I stole a truck with a ladder."

Yes, mook. The President of the United States was effective at conveying to his nation that he wishes to dump feces on whatever plurality of its citizens are opposed to him and his policies. Statesmanship to remember alongside that of the greats. Leadership so rare.

Speaker of the House holding a formal presser to announce that Jesus is the king of everyone in the USA should be getting more attention

netflix put video stores out of business by having a massively bigger selection by mail, and now the streaming version of netflix has a smaller selection than a typical video store had

Hi Melissa I'm not demanding ideological purity, I'm a trans man demanding that my civil rights not be sacrificed. I am demanding that I be allowed to live with dignity and with access to medical care that I depend on to survive. No one's civil rights are negotiable. Due process is not negotiable.

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

Take it from us -- an organization that closely studies all the horrific ways people can die from common household items -- have the jelly donut.

Happy Diwali. The world needs the light.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

The networks took the much smaller Tea Party movement so seriously they broadcast a Tea Party rebuttal to Obama’s 2011 SOTU on top of the normal GOP one.

my professional and considered opinion as a former artilleryman: what the fucking fuck
