Maybe we have just misunderstood what Trump was talking about with his “big beautiful ‘ball’ room”

My shirt saying “We aren’t worshipping a golden calf” etc., etc.

Just the "flopping all fucking day"

America is full of grifter marks

This is what happens when you don’t understand history. The Klan of the 1920s wasn’t solely or even predominantly focused on African Americans, it was a movement targeting Catholics, Jews, and “foreigners” more generally.

do any religious texts mention golden idols anywhere

Earning $1 million would be fundamentally transformative for the vast majority of Americans, and this dude thinks it’s feasible to do that 1000 times over

Markets are asleep, time to do more war stuff.

The perfect American history vignette doesn't exi—

Modern technology could learn from older stuff that does what it's supposed to and doesn't bother you. My toilet just works and never sends me emails like "Good news! Flush® is now Floosh®"

FDR came to understand this and it’s why the New Deal transitioned from purely economic recovery to focusing on economic security for ALL Americans by the mid-30s. And it’s largely a recognition that Marx was right: the logical conclusion of the effects of the excesses of capitalism is revolution

“It just so happens that most of those ‘unpopular opinions’ happen to align perfectly with my preferred political ideology”

Dawkins spending his entire career berating basically pretty normal people for being so stupid as to believe in God and then immediately giving himself Roko's Basilisk Derangement Syndrome after talking to the AI catgirl waifus is just the funniest shit.

NEW: Babies Are Bleeding to Death as Parents Reject a Vitamin Shot Given at Birth The vitamin K shot, a lifesaving injection given to newborns to prevent uncontrollable bleeding of the brain and intestines, has become collateral damage of the anti-vaccine movement.

As someone who is way too online, these people are WAY too online

Without downloading anything new, where are you, mentally?

I think it is important to remember that the problem strict photo ID laws purport to solve—voter impersonation—is both essentially non-existent and is also totally solved by the cutting-edge technologies of “voter registration + you sign by your name in the little book at the precinct”

We are so fuck as a society….

Drake University to host ceremony for retiring mascot Griff II

Literally one of the cheapest, healthiest animal proteins available. Hell, “a chicken in every pot” was the promise of America 100 years ago!

This is actually the perfect distillation of the right wing worldview. A predatory industry treats consumers unfairly so it must be immigrants' fault.

John Lewis was beaten with clubs wrapped in barbed wire on the Edmund Pettus Bridge fighting for voting rights. Today’s SCOTUS decision takes the sacrifice and fight of all who marched before us and throws it away. We must keep marching — too many have fought too hard to give up.

Raspberry Hangover

I hope every player who took LIV’s blood money is forced to eat shit for it for eternity

seventh-round pick, bad measurables, great awareness and motor, 4x Pro Bowler on special teams

Supreme Court’s major rulings over the last decade can best be understood as things Republicans like are constitutional and things republicans don’t like are unconstitutional.

At this point, I think the only answer is to burn it all down and start over.

It's funny that despite what Hollywood has portrayed and generally led us to believe, most assassination attempts are some guy giving it the ole “LEROOOY JENKINSSS”

Pour one out for the Hilton staff who are working perhaps the worst shift in food service history rn.

You laugh, but cyber trucks only do this when they are in extreme distress

Back the moron that doesn’t know how anything works because you think you can control him…. But as it turns out… You can’t control said moron because he doesn’t know how anything works!!!

Just a continuing series of “Ope, I fell for it again.”

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

“The MAGA crowd is made of dumb people — like, SUPER dumb people. And they fall for it.” For my @wired.com feature debut, I talked to Sam, a guy who made thousands of dollars on Instagram by scamming MAGA men with Emily Hart, an AI generated, Trump-loving influencer. www.wired.com/story/ai-gen...

Dude the ark of the covenant and opened it.

It's notable that Sen. Ossoff is pressing this attack in a tight re-election fight in a purple state. The rest of the party needs to pay attention.

Pennsylvania's auditor general, a Republican, audited 210,000+ new voter registrations under Gov. Shapiro's new motor voter system to see if noncitizens were registering to vote. They found one. One. And that was because a PennDOT staffer erred. It was fixed before the driver left the office.

No actor has ever portrayed the characters he acted as more of a dick than written while simultaneously making those characters more likable than as written.
