the other thing that strikes me about dreher’s take — and related ones — is that they depend on the conceit that political history began, at most, 10 years ago.

Jesus christ. Especially in comparison to Trump's Truth Social rant about it. I don't trust her but Christ MTG is the sane one and t Trump is the one screaming nonsense conspiracy theories over this.

every post is like i bet you didn’t know this absolutely wonderful thing about rob reiner and each one is different

I see that yet again the mythical good guy with a gun has failed to save us. i sure hope he shows up soon. maybe at the next one

I will never vote for Jamelle Bouie.

i am fascinated by how nate silver turns everything he doesn’t like into a bespoke ideology. it’s not that he is annoyed by HCR, it is that she is a dreaded “ism” responsible for everything he doesn’t like about the democratic party. same with bluesky.

I love the comparison. You can even use part of Tati's rant and have it applicable to the Nuzzi scandal.

When you can’t say “sorry we capitulated to bigots” because you’re afraid the bigots might hear you, so you just throw some glitter around and hope for the best.

If you want to do something like this, why not buy a $150k home in a small town in Italy, France, Spain, or Mexico, instead of having nine people share one bathroom after they eat at a restaurant called "Stinky's?"

if Trump reschedules pot and all of America becomes California Circa 2013 in terms of medical weed i will call this the greatest own goal in the history of Democratic Politics

Biden could have been the legal weed president and secured the stoner vote eternally but nooo

this fact is the definitive judgment on kirk's life

So we have upped our local donations this year due to DOGE and the shutdown to the shelters and food banks. We also did Angel Tree for 2 kids this year. We are out of town visiting family and a cashier tried to shame us for not rounding up for Toys for Tots today. /1

me when i was cishet married

What the hell kind of list is this bullshit? Especially with a man choking a woman as the icon?

If I lost an election to Trump you would never hear or see me again.

Everyone someone says Will Wheaton is so wholesome I think about how everyone has memory holed the time Chris Hardwick was accused of sexual assault and Wheaton was like “well he’s my friend and I believe women but I don’t believe this woman and anyway people change so he’s not a bad guy anymore.”

Important Dakota Johnson update, she is neither a good actor nor a "lovely" person

I wrote about teetotalism last year. I walked away convinced that we were in the midst of a consumer-religious wave. “Lifestyle Puritanism” is a better term for it. All conspicuous consumption of truly grotesque privilege.

the rich live in a foreign country to you. Mark Cuban lives in The United States of America, The Richest Country On Earth, and your dumb ass pays for him to live there while you’re stuck in ‘Murica, a third world free-fire zone.

Idk who needs to hear this but ACAB includes brewmasters

If Liam Neeson is gonna narrate some quack documentary we should pay Jesse Plemons 30 billion dollars to read things for two hours like “the earth is clearly round” “you should eat a healthy diet of a variety of foods and not just wet beef” & “do not suntan your butthole, it does not need that”

SCOOP: Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated a recent anti-vaccine documentary that glorifies RFK Jr.’s rise to power. In the film, Neeson—a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador—calls the COVID-19 vaccines “dangerous experiments.” www.importantcontext.news/p/liam-neeso...

Hey @kaine.senate.gov can I get another tepid email about why you thought this was all okay

The fact that you can have 6 billion dollars and not be aware of the existence of other countries is a good argument in favour of the government confiscating 6 billion dollars from you

BREAKING: Judge Paula Xinis has ordered the immediate release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia: "since Abrego Garcia's wrongful detention in El Salvador, he has been re-detained, again without lawful authority."

I was in the ICU last month and definitely was our first thought. My SO was thinking how he could change my gender and not worried if I was going to die or anything.

Thinking of that time when my dad, himself a doctor, was thrown by a horse on a trail ride. Punctured his spleen, internal bleeding, got him to an ER just in time. He lived another 20 years. With two hours delay, probably wouldn't have. We rushed to *nearest* ER. Not comparison-shop for ER prices.

fuck the Democratic party 👍

Another worry is hospital safety. One of the hospitals near me has nearly killed me a few times but OMG if they are cheaper, why not just roll the die! I also have medical conditions that make me rely on big hospitals, but sure let me see a price list.

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

it's 2025 and the gangly guy who appeared on a few seasons of The Office is now our only mirror to society

Back in Ohio visiting my in laws. Prepare for a week of me screaming about how drivers here fucking suck as someone who daily drives the Beltway.

Holy fuck. There is a person on the #T1D board I am who used an LLM to figure out his insulin dosing. Why are people so fucking reckless?

I’m going to go out on a limb and say Jimmy Fallon didn’t ask Altman about the molestation allegations made by his sister.

Delusional.

Plex Submits $35 Bid For Warner Bros.

Jesus. Who is buying one thinking it is a good investment even 5 years ago? There were better EV vehicles on the market then.

it's fewer. also bite me

jared kushner is the forrest gump of all the worst events in recent history

If they hadn’t burned all the witches and midwives back in the day, we’d probably know more about perimenopause and menopause right now. We know fuck all about a condition that half the population goes through because men are a bunch of plonkers* *not all men** **but most of them

A convicted criminal cannot run for a public office, who knew? share.google/OHDkhfqIi7Wi...

The rare presidential administration whose character, efficacy and dignity would automatically increase if everyone in it was replaced with a ten year old.

The easiest thing for Democrats to do would be to stop confirming Trump judges, but they can’t even be bothered to do that. Just failure all the way down. I really hate these people.

God, I love Halle Berry. More of this energy. Call out our shitty politicians even if they claim they are on our side.

oh phew, that’ll help

My grandmother would be proud. All of her grandchildren's first swear word was shit because she says it constantly. Next time I talk to her (yes, she's still alive as is my grandfather), I have to tell her.
