I think men fundamentally always do moustaches as a joke initially. "Wouldn't it be funny if I had an old school waxed moustache?" And then suddenly it's ten years later and you're Waxed Moustache dude.

There is no "would" here. Platner did lose.

As always it was dumb to elect someone president who doesn't understand the idea of a positive sum game (or a negative sum game, for that matter).

Gonna take a victory lap for my remarkable prescience.

This theory looking better every minute. Strongly advise it for your future McConnell conspiracy theory needs.

I fucking told you he wasn't dead

You can - and should - shit on Graham's memory all you like yourself. Senators won't do so, and expecting them to do so and getting mad that they didn't is a waste of your own energy.

1) Everyone should say whatever they want about Lindsey Graham. Piss on his grave, absolutely, whatever, he sucked. 2) It is silly to expect that Democratic elected will join you in this, or even that they won't release anodyne statements praising him. Why make yourself angry about the latter?

This is the kind of McConnell conspiracy theory I can get behind.

My hot take is that Lindsey Graham did many contemptible things but if you’re furious that his Senate Democratic colleagues are posting nice things about him today you need to put down your phone, get some fresh air, and remember a time when a colleague you disliked departed this mortal coil.

While I do not mourn the late Senator Graham, I think it’s a bit unrealistic to expect even his most left-leaning colleagues to do a Fortnite dance and teabag his corpse.

"Tributes Pour In for Senator Lindsey Graham", then a dramatic blank space on the landing page of NYT.

You will notice that when Lindsey Graham died, his death was immediately announced.

he actually did the meme

Bringing one of the best tweets of all time over to Bluesky in honour of the Three Lions QF victory

Very sad I didn't get to do a "Keir Starmer can you hear me? Your boys took a hell of a beating" skeet.

Real 30 Years War vibes to that promo for France/Spain just now. Spain are the "reigning kings of Europe" but can they hold off a rising France?

Count Binface is a political idealist, not a murderer.

HOT TAKE: The Odyssey is basically a Tarantino film. Discuss

If students are simply uninterested in the core bargain of a class like this, it’s hard to know what to do. You teach the material because you think it’s important they know it; they don’t give a shit, but want the credential; and the university wants their money. Your main option is “pretend”.

RAYLAN: there is one thing I wander back to BOYD: we mined eth together RAYLAN: that’s right

The thing about Bernie covering his ass here by throwing Moraff under the bus is that he is covering his ass here. There was every reason for Bernie to withdraw his endorsement back in October and instead he defended every unacceptable story for eight months.

A type of anti-anti-Platner take that I don't want to ever see again (but have indeed been seeing) is "people who didn't support Platner after Mills dropped out just didn't care enough about beating Collins." Because the thing is we fucking tried it your way and look where that got us you clowns.

Gonna call Fabian Ruiz the Duke of Parma for how hard he just fucked the Belgian defenders.

Good comedy (the verbal kind, anyway) fundamentally relies on factual claims your audience agrees are true. The Onion can't admit to itself what Platner is for political reasons, and therefore can't tell a joke that people who understand what Platner is find funny.

How the fuck did this guy win a primary? Like even a Republican primary

Wait, have both Labour and the Tories semi-endorsed Count Binface?

This is just straight up Platner apologism.

Everyone loves Fight Duck, the Strong Duck Who Fights The Man! * 8 months later * This ducking fuck won't stop shitting on the carpet and he's aggressively fighting everyone trying to make him leave

I was having trouble coming up with five, and the list was somewhat humiliating so I'll just take the partial, but still extreme, shame of announcing that almost certainly the living author I've read the most books by is Piers Anthony.

This is someone who only ever cared about himself, this was always quite apparent, and everyone who was taken in by him needs to think a long time about why they're such terrible judges of character.

So what I'm gathering is that France/Morocco is basically France I vs. France II

What a piece of shit.

It’s a story that almost makes you feel bad for Platner, who had his life destroyed after a bunch of self-styled kingmakers, convinced they were going to sweep away the political establishment, strolled into town to fill his ear with these fantasies. It’s got almost a parable-like quality.

Look, as mayor of New York part of your job is ridiculous pandering to Jewish, Irish, and Italian sensibilities, and that immigrant neighborhood map is a fail by that standard. Got to pretend there's an Irish immigrant neighborhood somewhere (or just have it be "ethnic" instead)

i dreamed you couldn’t post memes unless they had a wizard in them so i took a short break from work to doodle the one i kept posting on here in the dream

Oh, wonderful

Good to see that Platner's campaign died as it lived: without a single ounce of grace or dignity from the candidate or his staffers. What an absolute disgrace.

what a surprise. again, he reacted like this when the Nazi tattoo was revealed! he wasn't contrite, there was no actual acceptance or suggestion of change, it was pure entitlement and anger. All of this should have been obvious.

RIP comics blogosphere, you were and still are the best

Why is this a thing? Is it really Alex Ross? (It seems to date back about a decade, so not an AI thing)

I keep thinking about this Alex Ross painting of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen that is, for some reason, also the cast of 30 Rock

The IOC chastising FIFA for corruption

Graham Platner still hasn't dropped out for the same reasons his general election campaign was a huge flop that was on track to lose to Collins: he's a narcissist who is much more concerned with intraparty factionalism than beating Collins or Trump

Why are we at war with Spain now?

People keep trying to make this Dem schism about policy, because they think they can win it with catchy slogans. But it’s actually not about policy. It’s about whether or not you look at the GOP under MAGA with disgust or with envy.
