This is your annual reminder that the Time Person of the Year award is NOT meant as an endorsement, for example they gave the award to Adolf Hitler in 1938, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, and 1943 (when the magazine was renamed Hitler Monthly)

No way to know if we’re in a massive recession/depression or if there’s a new pandemic or anything else anymore. It’s great. I feel great.

me: why the fuck is jordan peterson in the icu again my dad: i don’t know who that is me: god i wish that were me

St Louis Post-Dispatch: Blake Hurst, a soybean, corn farmer, is frustrated the WH is blaming farmers' woes on things like high prices for seed and fertilizer , not tariffs. “Sometimes I wish they would treat us like adults who are smart enough to figure out what’s going on.”

The classic:

There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.

Hi hello the Venezuela stuff is entirely about oil, both in Venezuela and in Guyana (where Venezuela is laying claim to the oil in what is now Exxon’s largest oilfield, which Chevron has also bought into). It is the bidding of US oil majors and it’s not remotely subtle.

Honestly very difficult to figure out who is more corrupt between Trump and FIFA, it’s a real game respect game situation lol

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara to US citizen detained by ICE: "I apologize that this happened to you in my city with people wearing vests that say 'police.' That's embarrassing."

When you hire a white man because they’re a white man that’s not identity politics. Identity politics is when you get hired and you’re not a white man. The anti wokeness hysteria was always a backlash to integration of white collar jobs bsky.app/profile/jami...

"But Olivia’s plot to find a 'sleazy reporter' who would print her claims without vetting was successful with one person at one outlet: Dylan Byers at Puck." lol

Can't say I ever expected to see a "That Font was No Angel" headline. But here we are.

Remember how under President Joe Brandon working-class families couldn’t afford basic staples like steak, lobster, turf, and 25,000 calories worth of appetizers delivered by private taxi

I guess the t-bone and benzo diet is unhealthy. Another failed fad. Smdh.

(My spleen and gallbladder spilling goo into my body cavity and it's coming out my nostrils) "Here's my 12 rules for living a great life, folks."

I love the fact that Jordan Peterson wrote multiple books telling people how they need to live their lives while simultaneously having his own life constantly spiraling out of control.

Sometimes I think white peoples obsession with rewhitening media is a form of self-soothing, like sucking your thumb. if all the lantern jawed manly white men and submissive blonde thin women return, things will be okay again and the world won’t be so scary again. Sometimes it’s just racism.

... Made tons of $$$$$ in the USA and now is using it to destroy the Country ...

Oh right

What a fucking moron. Does he know that he wasn’t born in America?

Bold words from a South African. Get out of here if you hate it so much. You make the country worse every time you talk or spend your cursed money.

The fact that we already have Health Savings Accounts and the most marketized health care system in the world, and it is also the most expensive system does not seem to put a dent in these guy's theories of health economics

UPDATE: 3 things I learned today 1) Political leaders haven’t thought much about the health threats of CO2 capture and storage. Eg CO2 pipelines have kill zones. Leaks can acidify aquifers and mobilize heavy metals. 2) 45Q tax credits for CCS are now by far the biggest subsidy to oil and gas AND…

Please note that oil and gas are allowed to claim the 45Q tax credit without any verification that they actually captured the CO2 they said they did — and certainly without having to sequester the carbon 🤡

Whole of the American economy is now piracy.

anyone else feel like a lot of recent news stories were pushed to exhaust us so we'd be too tired to say much about the recent designations of civil rights groups as terrorist organizations and people being compiled into fbi watchlist groups for expressing anti-christian and pro-lgbt views?

i will again note the slight of hand here. “respecting” public opinion is defined as being subservient to public opinion. but you can respect where the public lies without making yourself a slave to its whims.

ACP’s Grumet, by playing a centrist game by being risk averse not joining litigation against Trump & now aligning with fossil fuels to endorse the SPEED Act has pissed off a major wind developer as well as three powerful U.S. senators including Heinrich, Whitehouse, and Schatz. #PoliticalSkillz

Amazing how many people heard “the problem with the Iraq War was that it wasn’t brutal or rapacious enough” and concluded “Donald Trump is the peace candidate”

it's 2025 and the gangly guy who appeared on a few seasons of The Office is now our only mirror to society

E&E News reporting that offshore wind developer Ocean Winds yelled at the head of American Clean Power, the largest clean energy trade group, this spring because they refused to join the lawsuit against the offshore wind ban

Admit it: if you were writing a fictional account of a daft, mad authoritarian president, you wouldn't put in there that he *brags about passing basic cognitive tests meant to screen for dementia*. It's simply not realistic! Reality is simply not that absurd!

Bring me your rich, your wealthy, your privileged masses yearning to take over the world.

These are people who will actually buy several homes, too.

In case people forgot, Dokoupil is the guy who got circumcised twice as an adult convert and very publicly posted and wrote about it constantly in the New Republic

at this point AI is the equivalent of your friend eating something disgusting and asking 800 times if you wanna try it

jimmy fallon has a knack for embracing scams

This exchange drives me nuts. Neither the interviewer nor Bazelon acknowledges that 1) abortion rights are really popular! and 2) what ICE is doing is hugely unpopular!

I know we’ve been talking about the 25th Amendment being invoked for years now, but we should probably be talking about it a lot more and a lot more seriously right now.

I am coming back from the holiday break with a Chris Gaines wig and a soul patch.

journalists need to stop. AI cannot give you the opportunity to speak with your dead grandmother. this is just data slop. someone doing an impression of your grandma with a sock puppet would be considerably closer to what this headline is suggesting than anything AI can or will ever be able to do.

"AI should be in your battle rhythm every single day."

What if they constantly want culture war because policy war is complicated and hard and culture war is stupid and easy

Since when do employers expect references to answer ten written questions or navigate some crappy web app? Just call me and ask me questions. This is terrible.

Of course she picked Mr. Katy Tur---he accused Ta-Nehisi Coates of being no different than a Hamas suicide bomber

I would like to formally challenge the argument that government would be worse at spending billionaires' money than billionaires

The lengths people go to to use the HOV lane. Sheesh!

Most of them are smarter and have greater moral character than the US President.

The word "innovation" has become little more than a dumb buzzword and signifier that whoever is using it is highly likely to be hiding serious harm their perceived "innovation" will cause people and place.

Deport Elon. He violated his student visa.
