I'm sorry, this is some "what the fuck are you talking about" shit. Like what the fuck are you talking about? Does the video begin with an explanation that the stunt man is destitute? Sadism? Are you kidding me? Every word here is so far from making anything resembling sense.

Everyone involved is a consenting adult. This is just >I consent >I consent >I don't shit. If this person is actually in danger of being killed, more than your average skydiver, then sure. Prosecute Mr. Beast for attempted murder. If not this is just a game show.

"Healthcare subsidies" is the most trying to make fetch happen shit I've ever seen.

Huh, i didnt know weird al made the video, thought he was more into musical comedy

You know how people's favorite music always happens to be the music they listened to during when they were a teenager with lots of free time and friends and hormones? Wonder if there's a similar trend for when Peak Woke was.

one thing i do think klein is basically right about is that we had a period of progressive discourse where "i don't answer that question" was basically a standard discourse move. we *asserted* our ideas without arguing for them. this was, i think, a huge-ass mistake.

separate from everything, the idea that 2020 was a squeaker but 2024 represents a historical mandate will simply be the death of me

The internet was a bad idea. I’m seeing really smart people get sucked into herd mentality. You guys, the stuff that’s in Project 2025 cannot also be a distraction for the Epstein files. That’s LITERALLY THE PLAN. YOU are the ones falling for the distraction right now. THAT IS THE DISTRACTION!!!

Man, what country do you think you’re in right now? Nobody's at the bar or their kitchen table talking about ACA subsidies. Nobody thinks healthcare is the main thing that needs preserving right now. It's so out of touch with what actual people are actually thinking about

It's not that it's totally undeserved, as much as: there are so many more deserving targets. I, for one, am hooting and hollering outside of Michael Dukakis's house right now.

Literally all of the people asking for this, white or not, voted for Harris. This is a made-up division that no one has time for.

Can someone summarize today's Hot Fuzz discourse? I'm aware there was Hot Fuzz discourse and I love Hot Fuzz and I'm sure if I had all the context my takes would be amazing.

Fortunately there's only 3 more years of rapidly escalating fascism before there's a peaceful exchange of power

Sauron's order to besiege Gondor is unlawful. Here's a thought. Maybe focus on healthcare for the people of Middle Ea--*gets smacked in the face by Gandalf's staff* Gandalf: prepare for battle!

ah. just remembered don hertzfeldt. where my fellow don hertzfeldt heads at.

Before the election, they claimed that they weren’t protesting Trump because he wasn’t in power. Well, now he’s the president, and they’re still protesting Kamala Harris, not him. It’s clear these Free Palestine protesters are disingenuous. Almost like they just want to humiliate a Black woman. 🤔

Wounded Knee was a massacre of innocent people, including women and children. It was one of many atrocities committed by the United States against Native Americans. The heroes were those who fought against the US military. They deserve our honors. Not those who used Hotchkiss guns against children

Jihad against democratic consultants and pollsters

Our cities aren’t war ravaged. They’re ICE ravaged.

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

I do think there's a little bit too much "reform the court" and too little "arrest all six of them for treason."

Just got sent another Demo consultant's memo on how to win the shutdown. Spoiler alert: they want Democrats to focus on "costs" and "healthcare" and talk about how they're for smart budgets. Absolutely nothing about Trump being out of control. The consultant class should be shot out of a cannon.

It is up to #3 now. If you have any idea how this works PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME I'm riding too high here

Maybe if Jesus wasn’t going around stealing peoples’ heroin he’d have the wherewithal to do what needs to be done and save the world. What a disappointment he turned out to be. Sad.

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"

this is one of the problem with ideologies which rationalize the routine use of violence: you think you are attracting where violence is the means and the ideology is the ends. you are actually attracting people for whom the violence is the ends and the ideology is the means.

Man, I just don't think this is good messaging. If the government's going to behave this way, to send its drooling goons after every school superintendent and random dad to lock them away in camps, to lie to its people about medicine, to incite violence daily, then shut it down forever!

Just thinking about the detail in a lot of the reporting about Ian Roberts' arrest that he fled ICE and it's apparently supposed to make him sound guilty but is any of us sticking around for that at this point?

A BAD DREAM WHERE YOU’RE BACK SCHOOL is currently #5 on Amazon's best-selling new-release American horror. This seems implausible, can't imagine anyone's bought it but friends and family so far, but fuck it. It's on a best-seller list, so buy the BEST SELLING HORROR NOVEL NOW

Gonna lay down a marker here: if they do in fact rule for Trump here, it will be properly considered Dred Scott II, and will in an important sense mark the end of the Union

Gonna figure out a marketing plan but in the meantime I'll just post until literally all of my followers buy a copy, including the pornbots and fake palestinians.

I don't love using "blood libel" to describe anything other than the actual historical phenomenon of accusations against Jews of ritually killing Christian children. But if anything in modern political discourse structurally resembles a blood libel, it's Vance accusing Haitians of eating cats.

The real culture of victimhood is getting mad that a new ethiopian place opened up in town

At this point, fine. I’d rather deal with crippled state capacity federal government than Stephen Miller’s federal government

a better way into the "male loneliness" story is that we have a whole of culture hanging out crisis which is somewhat concentrated among men but hardly exclusive to them here's one (of many) on point survey results www.americansurveycenter.org/research/the...

Bullshit, Ken. I would believe literally everybody else about not knowing obscure civics history questions, but not you.

Boba tea implies the existence of Jango tea

My comedy-horror novel, A BAD DREAM WHERE YOU’RE BACK AT SCHOOL, is available in paperback now. It's a good book, you'll enjoy the hell out of it. Buy a copy. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FSMY81P...

The loneliness epidemic isn't strictly male--women are also reporting fewer close relationships--but men started from a higher baseline.

The answer is yes, they do exist, and they are also insane weirdos

Being part of the honor guard for the Horny Iowa Statue, except it's a machine gun nest and the detail is called "The Tomb Of The Unknown Gooner"

I have no idea who shot at the ICE facility or why, & hard to trust this FBI director. Murder is always inexcusable. Now, the idea that people are mad at ICE because of ‘Democrats’ rhetoric’ & not because of daily videos of masked ICE agents assaulting people, including citizens, is for the birds.

No one will stop comparing ICE to the Gestapo until they stop acting like the Gestapo

SCENE- WH COLONNADE VANCE: you're really changing the game, sir. you are what we call online an "epic meme lord". i've been talking with some teens on discord and they all agree that you're inflicting massive pwnage on the left TRUMP (on his way to molest a 12yo): you're talking to teens, you say?

The Kimmel thing is a victory. The Trumpists wanted to cross a big line and they appear to have been pushed back. We don't need to sneer at it and whatabout all the other broken guardrails and destruction. We know. Nobody thinks whether the Jimmy Kimmel show airs or not is the only problem facing us

Watching the Death Star explode and tutting knowing that the Empire will just use this as an excuse to be violent

This is the consensus take on here, and it’s a claim I would need to see backed up with data. As in, do we have any actual evidence that the "lonely men" are more politically conservative, or more likely to have misogynist views?

Kind of shocked by this. I would have very confidently guessed Stancil at #1. He’s #167!

If you don’t like Brendan Carr you're gonna hate Brendan Truckk and Brendan Buss.
