The Bulwark would be easier to take seriously if their hosts didn't all puka shell necklaces and knock off Supreme trucker hats.

None of these words are in the Declaration of Independence

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

Now more than ever. @jordanmorris.bsky.social said it best

Scott Bessent looks like the modern Disney animatronics that use the screen faces.

True Detective Season 2

Flat earth coded

I am once again, getting these dipshits to take once humanities class. Just one. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8UR13eC/

Keith Olbermann was the original Joe Rogan of the left.

Temu Ethen Hawke has a lot ideas that are probably just things he read in the abridged protocols of the elders of zion (big word for smart boys edition)

You know what would reduce crime? A functioning social safety net.

I like to think he saw Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind.

Counterpoint: this rules

Any time someone says something like "they should go back to teaching the basics in school" I hear "I wish male teachers could humiliate female students in front of their peers for wearing the wrong clothes"

I think we can put to bed any conspiracy this idea as some sort of intelligence operator, CIA or otherwise. He’s just a dude who know how to work the room and simply was about to trade us way up.

Cursed "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" Prompt: You just woke up to dozens of text messages asking why an email from you is in the Epstein file.

I could read a 50,000 world literally analysis of the music videos for Alanis Morissette’s “Ironic” and I still would not have a strong enough foundation to adequacy discus today’s news.

"I have some blackmail material, you would like to have that blackmail material too?"

There is better than even chance her husband in college always wore a “plays well with others” shirt to the bars and made it his whole personality.

The white house is doing sponcon for doordash. I respect the investor relation teams PR hustle trying to cover for their shitty earnings.

Federalism!

Gus Johnson on every snap right now

Gus Johnson is losing his goddamn mind.

one time i wrote a horror fiction story in which toxic masculinity was presented as very literally toxic, and no one got it. but maybe people will get it now that it's many years later and i'm spelling it out in this post? happy belated halloween! kotaku.com/the-only-gir...

Hold on. Are you saying New York city is a real? I thought it just a place they made up for the movies. Like.the place from the ninja turtles movie? That’s real? Come on.

everyone keeps Torment Nexus-ing plot points right out of Neal Stephenson books. I mean...the whole Ukraine/Russia war feels like something straight out Termination Shock.

How are the Dune DOA people doing? Have they started filming their movie yet?

Exclusive from @npr.org: the Department of Health and Human Services plans to introduce a rule in early November eliminating Medicare & Medicaid funding of any kind for any hospital that offers care for transgender youth. This would make care nearly impossible to access. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

I’m not saying the 60+ year project to defund the arts in general and arts education in particular is the leading cause of this, but it surely doesn’t help.

Fox is really milking this ding dong tag

Zohran Mamdani keeps telling people Die Hard is his favorite Christmas movie. Is he just staying that or does he really think there is a difference between Christmas movies and movies that take place at Christmas.

Remember kids, get vaccinated. Cat Scratch Fever is no joke. You could be next. (I’ll see myself out)

Do you ever wonder what Bat Boy is up to these days? He was probably at Jan6, if I am going to be honest.

And critically, who would still have it if not for a campaign controversy, and who has no record beyond social media videos and his platform on a website with which to evaluate his character and suitability for office.

A core problem with "Deliver Me From Nowhere" is that there is so much footage of a young Springsteen performing these songs, that anything else is going to feel silly. I can watch him perform Thunder Road at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1975. Its on Youtube. Nothing will be a compelling as that.

Wait…why IS Greedo wearing heels. Are they talking a walk on the wild side?

no more adaptations of A Christmas Carol!!! we're good on that deeply mid story!!

It’s always “Prince Andrew This. Sarah Ferguson That.” But yet we never hear one thing about Turd Ferguson.

Episode 1: Everyone is making a lot of interesting decisions Episode 2-7: nothing happens, randomly Episode 8: Everyone is mad

The gods forbid they cut into that $57 billion endowment.

Asking just in case, does my "firefly is confederate lost cause propaganda" tattoo (on my back in gothic font) disqualify me for anything?

Its shockingly easy to get drunk and not get a nazi tattoo.

Weirdly relevant

Here is my review of Ball X Pit: I had Ball X Pit dreams last night. It's been a long time since a game jacked my brain quite like this. I can't say that about Balatro.

This wild cat has evolved to the point where it no longer hunts. It just mean mugs local Scottish teens until they buy it a can of cider and some chips.

Pour one out for an eternal scorigami

🏈 NYG 32 - 33 DEN FINAL ❌ No Scorigami. That score has happened 2 times before. Last time: Oct 30, 2016 Atlanta Falcons defeated Green Bay Packers

We have not really talked about how much money openAI and the other AI companies is spending on television brand ads. There were ads during almost every commercial during NBC/Peacock's college football coverage. The super bowl ads are going to be insufferable.

Of course women don’t like the cybertruck. Women only want one thing, and it’s White…Chrysler…Lebaron
