If I could offer the young people of today one piece of advice it would be this: train your body to consume and process methanol for energy

if you ever thought of Trump as skeptical of, or an alternative to, American imperial interventionism you’re a fucking mark and you should feel bad

This week in Art I Am Obsessed With: this self-portrait by Suzanne Valadon. It looks so incredibly contemporary (I would literally wear that exact outfit on hot summer day) but it’s from 1923. Anyway, love a queen with flowy pants and a dangling cigarette!

When I chose to study politics for a living I had no idea that politics would get this dumb.

Every decade, we hear "the kids can't read or write!" Interventions that don't work are proposed. Those that do work are ignored: reducing class sizes, making kids & families feel safe at school and welcome, becoming a community resource. When their expensive reform fails, they yell at us again.

ICE vs the clergy

You are infinitely closer to struggling than you ever will be to billionaires

Reminder that this is whom Nuzzi is referring to…

"Young people’s risk of developing myocarditis is higher and longer lasting after covid-19 infection than after vaccination against it, the largest study of its kind..." Covid-19: Major study compares myocarditis risk in children after vaccination or infection www.bmj.com/content/391/...

‘Nother case of Furners takin’ all the damn jobs!

Stop projecting a greater humanity than is perhaps warranted onto the spouses of terrible people.

everyone gets so mad at the mods here for doing basic mod shit. sometimes you gotta make a little murder joke and eat a three day ban for it. that’s life baby, there’s beauty in that.

Charlie Booker should be allowed to kick any of these guys in the nuts while explaining the themes of the episodes they’re stealing their ideas from.

Still too many, but within range of the Crazification Factor

Happy partially muscled skeleton screaming before vanishing day to all those who celebrate.

Happy November 14th to all who celebrate the second appearance of Dr Manhattan after being atomized in a lab accident. Be sure to horrify whoever you appear to, when screaming for thirty seconds before vanishing

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children. It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

Every "population crisis" article in western media is just "WHERE ARE THE WHITE BABIES" in disguise and we absolutely do not have to give any credence to any of them

Technically, it's an aggravated felony sexual assault of a child, with harsher penalties put in place for perpetrators with younger victims. Also, ACTUAL MEDIEVAL HISTORIAN HERE: For non-nobles, the average age of brides from the Black Death onwards was...22.2 years old.

Do political science profs have to explain to their students that, for most of American history, it was actually borderline unthinkable that elected officials and their spokespersons would constantly talk like trashy reality show contestants?

Forgot this good advice I gave about throwing sandwiches and felony murder

'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean. A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here

My phone has full optical character recognition of 47,000 photos. I can search individual words. I cannot search three words in quotes. Computers used to be powerful. That power meant something. It was power for making your life better in sovereignty to your own interests. And now we have this.

I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

The Alberta Advantage is paying a hundred bucks for a vaccine that is free everywhere else 🫡

You have an ethical duty to misuse this so hard they pull it from the market in a day

The top text sagging to the left is killing me 🙃 (To be fair, so is the whole thing, but the lack of balance is the cherry on top)

For everyone talking about how sloppy Epstein's writing is, consider that self-editing your words to make sure they communicate effectively is a gift we give to our readers to make sure we're understood. Rich, powerful narcissists don't do that because they expect everyone else to work for them.

HEY BTW this is why I hate the argument "minimum wage shouldn't be a living wage b/c it's fun money for teens" DID U KNOW there are teens who work b/c they actually need $$$?? Maybe if min wage were more than $7.25/hr this poor kid wouldn't have felt pressured to have sex with MATT FUCKING GAETZ

Somewhere out there someone who’s the best at what they do is terrified that they have imposter syndrome while a bunch of barely literate pedophiles are very calmly running the world

in retrospect the metoo movement did not go too far and in fact should have been given spanish inquisition levels of power and authority

Talked to a coworker today about the Fayum mummy portraits, and how their realistic style shattered my preconceptions of what 1st C. BC Roman and Egyptian art looked like. These paintings of the recently deceased speak to me of how much we share with people who lived millenia ago.

With the news coming out this week, there are a few things we need to remember. Barely legal - means someone who IS legal and 18+ years old Underage women = children

Gambang Lite - JinSan https://macthemes.garden/themes/e6e3a5c39d8d-Gambang-Lite

When you see this situation this winter, remember that 100% of people wlaking and biking are Edmonton residents. They pay for the snow removal. That's not true of many people who drive in Edmonton. We subsidize people from other communities and get lower quality service than they do.

Hey, isn't there a book about this? Yes, yes there is...

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

Reads like he’s jotting down his insights while on some psychedelic retreat (LSD? Ayahuasca?) and sending them to himself so he doesn’t forget these revealed secrets of the universe. If he hadn’t died in jail he’d be one of these idiots using ChatGPT to discover “new physics.”

Every human being everywhere on earth should have all the tasty food, and good and safe housing, and a fantastic education through graduate school, and all the healthcare they need or want, all for free. There is more than enough wealth on this planet to do that. We just need to divide it fairly.

Youngeinstein (1988)

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

The theme was something that's been talked about in Frankenstein since at least The Madwoman In The Attic in 1979, maybe before: the book's the work of a young woman who lost children, and the horrors of parenthood stalk through its undergrowth. 6/
