my favorite erick erickson moment is when he said that his family refused to eat asian food on the anniversary of pearl harbor to honor the tragedy. a reporter reached out to his mom to confirm whether this was true and she was like “i don’t know what the fuck he is talking about”

Every time I go grocery shopping, I get to thank the American voter for giving me a reason to grind

Its a real disappointment that there isn't a good gif of Benjamin Sisko explaining the linear nature of time. In general, events that occur in 2026 are not the causes of events in 2022.

The fact that the SoH has been closed for four months is too wild to contemplate.

have we considered that flo rida and vanilla ice might be locked in a deadly game of chicken where both performers have their entire net worth tied up in elaborate parallel kalshi bets that they will be the last act to drop out? I am asking us to consider it

This is how America is really going to be celebrating

I appreciate how much this resembles the famous “Napoleon’s humiliating retreat from Russia” chart.

"Wah I don't like either party now" from any trump voter is a W, we take those

incredible scenes on nextdoor today as it’s revealed one of the most vocal anti-bike trail posters was previously convicted of attacking a mountain biker with a handsaw

Get ready to be alive while the U.S. does a Sicario to Mexico while Cuba does a CYCLONE to the U.S.

My favourite example of this is Judith Kerr's The Tiger Who Came To Tea. You can reconstruct a lot of the infrastructure of 1960s life from it - if you run the tap too long the water runs out!

Today we’re revisiting one of the earliest promotional music films created in Jamaica for an international audience, featuring Desmond Dekker & The Aces.

Today we learn of another new nuclear company going public to cash in on the datacenter hype. If all goes as planned they will have a commercial reactor by 2032. Their reactors would produce 1/5 of a gigawatt. Meanwhile, today, solar adds 1 gigawatt of capacity every day by noon.

My whole life they're like "don't trust the government buy gold" and now the good guys come into power and somehow I'm a criminal for having a few dozen mil in gold bars?

Probably shouldn't have let a handful of weird business perverts unwind the cultural miracle of American research universities

"i hope Zach Cregger can make a Resident Evil movie that honours the source material." Justin Long 1 hour into the movie:

The Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of their land 100 years ago. They sued, got the land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning and build 6,000 new homes over the loud objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs. Now other tribes are getting in the game.

Lol

How we’re gonna view someone that can write their own emails in 2043:

DON'T BELIEVE HIS LIES

Degrowth Don, taking ur BBQ, borgers, and brisket. They're calling him the greatest ecoterrorist of all time.

Maybe Something Beautiful Will Happen Today

>be Oman >just let it play out >now everyone’s talking about giving you free money I’m kinda pulling for them in this dumb war tbh.

Ok this is a truly great tweet

I really think Trump II is going to rock up 20th century dictator bodycount when all is said and done and all accounted for, Leopold in the Congo kinda stuff here. Just wildly evil.

the important thing to realize about republican primary voters is that they’re bad people

It’s a real renters market in Sacramento rn I’m seeing buildings that were developed 5 years ago offering rents below what they were offering when they first opened. Building housing works.

Leftist children do not concern themselves with the frivolity of bounce houses. Harvesting the potatoes is all the fun they need. By the way, I want everyone to be a leftist.

it is kinda dreary but holding out hope this is for medical reasons

I think everybody involved in staging this should be strangled

Rowling, Forstater, Davies and your ilk; take a fucking bow you absolute dangers metro.co.uk/2023/05/25/i...

If you read these two pieces side by side it's impossible to come to any conclusion other than that the Biden administration were complete chumps to release visitor logs. Press punished Biden for his transparency with erroneous speculation and reward Trump for his secrecy by repeating his lies

This is, I think, an element of the Poster's Recession, which is that industries that are full of people who are highly influential on perceptions and culture are suffering far more than average.

My prediction is that we're going to make amazing progress on decarbonization, that'll still be insufficient to avoid some extremely dire consequences on its own, and we'll turn to geoengineering to close the gap between that and a tolerable climate

i think RTO mandates are complex — there are some jobs that can’t be done remote, there are plenty that shouldn’t be remote — but i think the revenge of the bosses is an underrated explanation for *part of* why everyone’s so sour about the economy and the future

this is basically the Judge taking notes in his little book, and then effacing the native American rock paintings.

My favourite parts of Herodotus are when he goes "look I'm just saying what I heard don't get mad at me"

I'm concerned people think I'm joking about this.

Biggest comeback in history? 999: Icelanders convert to Christianity & ditch Norse myth↩️ 1200's: Snorri Sturluson uses the power of euhemerism to make Norse myth biblical↩️ 1930's: a very Catholic Norse scholar pilfers the edda for character names↩️ 2026: Pope quotes a character called Gandalf 🇮🇸👑

lmao these wreckers can fuck all the way off. posted right after Kim got pepper sprayed on the front lines.

"Monarcho-Stalinism isn't real, it only exists in HoI4 mods" meanwhile the average Russian nationalist:

No, but e-bikes will

Sorry, this is correct analysis. I remember it well

You may not like it but this is what peak ceasefire compliance looks like

Honestly, one of the funniest tweets I've ever seen.

Leaving everything else aside, the Solar Revolution is just an unbelievably positive development, we aren’t that far away from “people in the Global South can run A/C all summer with extremely cheap zero carbon energy” which would have been essentially unthinkable even like 10 years ago
