A meteor not smashing this exact spot is strong proof for deism, IMO

He needed to rush 7 or 8 more passes to MVS in the end zone near the right pylon. Eventually, a defender would have fallen down or committed DPI or something.

“i don’t like either party”

Running Barkley up the gut from out of shotgun still looks like shit, and responsible for lots of 3rd and longs

I would generally agree but not hard to think of ways they’ve gotten worse 1. Touchscreens are dangerous and unpopular bloatware 2. Headlights are too bright 3. Trucks are too big (single-handedly increased PED deaths in USA) 4. Car insurance is too expensive (b/c of electronic components)

RFK jr. is confusing people with Ungulates again

My white elephant group didn't go crazy for my gift (Fender Blues harmonica) like I expected

With fewer than 40 bills signed into law as of Dec. 22, the House and Senate set a modern record for lowest legislative output in the first year of a new presidency, according to data maintained by C-SPAN and Purdue University. https://wapo.st/3YPTQGo

I’m not saying she won’t hurt a lot of people. But we are pretty fortunate so far that Trump would rather stuff his administration to the rafters with people like this than people like Russ Vought

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

ICE agent recognized out Christmas shopping—throws tantrum when citizens profile him. "We're trying to prevent you from kidnapping our neighbors," they say. "I'm not doing anything but walking, leave me alone!" he yells. "Not right now you're not—but the past 5 days you have." Philadelphia, PA

Netflix execs asking why this game wasn’t canceled after the second quarter

Christmas morning

Controversial YouTube star Ms. Rachel: "I don't think children anywhere should be bombed or starved to death." Regular YouTube star Mr. Beast: "I unleashed a pack of rabid dogs into a convent. The last nun to be infected will win $19,000!"

"He's an immortal avatar of a moral absolute, he sees everything, he brings gifts, Elves help create the gifts and ensure they match the fleeting mortal desires of the recipients," I mean come on

Totally, I believe people think too much of their own time. People don’t just stare at static on the TV for recreation even though they already had that option. Will they be willing to stare at the equivalent of TV static just because somebody is calling a book, show, or movie art? I doubt it!

this image is maybe the single greatest joke in TRADING PLACES. and also a pretty apt description of the trump/vance/national conservative vision of america

Official data is in today, and US solar continues to grow rapidly, with generation up 21% compared to last year!

did a lot of people do a lot of really unspeakably disgusting, evil things? absolutely. but investigative files are full of weird fake tips and they released all of those on purpose to flood the zone so you’ll take the bait 500 times, start feeling foolish, and either go tinfoil hat or give up.

The Navy obviously couldn’t play a role against drone invasion, they’ll be busy attacking some other country

Fun game, is calling everything a ‘national security threat’ the escalation of an aspiring dictator, or is it the death rattle of a syphilitic old man?

This might sound more plausible if he hadn’t tried out six other pretexts for this first

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

"cite your sources" is not just an externally-imposed mandate but a personal discipline on thought itself. "cite your sources" is how you keep yourself in contact with reality. "cite your sources" is how you keep yourself from shadowboxing your own imagination."

Remains absolutely wild to me we have a functional cure for HIV/AIDS.

"village" mentality is what sustains conservatism. not being able to do anything without the Grandma Gestapo reporting your every move. depending on the easily withdrawn kindness of others instead of impersonal but reliable services. and of course obeying aristocratic landowners

"Only needed one foot in bounds" said 300,000 dads simultaneously

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

Some of these redactions are almost like modern art

Always felt it was a scab Trump couldn’t help picking at

Think I have conclusively demonstrated that the search tool for the limited release Epstein Files published so far by the Justice Department does not work

“The lack of awareness lasted most of the week and included a bullshit apology, and continued after the game.”

This is actually quite upsetting to me. If you’ve pursued somebody for years to license their IP and they’ve said no, the decent thing to do is leave them alone.

the promise of america is that you can come to america, become an america, and also keep the stuff you love about your identity. america will welcome you in not just physically but culturally: your food, your music, your holidays, your friends and family too you will change america--for the better

My favorite tyrant joke: a man comes every day and peers at the front page of the newspaper without buying it. The newspaper vendor says, "what are you looking for?" "An obituary." "Obituaries aren't on the front page." "This one will be."

Overcompensation is such a great literary/film device. One of my favorites is Lt. Rawls in The Wire, one of the most crass and vulgar characters on the show, who regularly says gross things about women and sex. Then midway through season 3, there’s a brief shot of him at a gay bar.

Returning to twitter to minister to the hogs and do my part to improve the conversation. Fixing Andrew Tate's heart by talking about the NBA with him. Replying "Are you watching Plurbus" to a Rod Dreher post about demonic possession and kicking off a healing round of good-natured discourse.

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

I’ve got my outfit picked out already!

My surgeon is drunk and struggling to remain upright. Is this a good thing?

A functioning pluralistic society is what protects Jews, not a garrison state on the other side of the world.

My version of this is wondering if I should start calling christians out for forsaking Zeus, Hera, and the traditional pantheon
