New WaPo-ABC poll: Trump's approval stands at 39% positive and 60% negative among adults — including 47% who say they strongly disapprove. The last time Trump's disapproval touched 60% was shortly after the Jan. 6 insurrection.

One of my favorite versions is Sondheim himself teaching it to some music students, particularly the look of pride on his face when the young woman nails one of his trickiest songs. youtu.be/aR80qiXgMuQ?...

One day in the future, this is going to hang on the wall of a museum exhibit people visit in silence.

This kind of stuff is simply indefensible...and Rs aren't even being forced to defend it.

All my homilies hate AI

Trump got a call from his friend that he had to go through normal airport security like a common schmuck and it was the first Trump had heard about this and phoned Noem to scream at her

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

Apple could make a new retro ipod nano and shit gold for a decade. Instead they’re doing AI capex plays nobody wants

Senate Democrats getting the chance to hold the floor and speak their mind at length:

Somehow this does not seem like it will create … less work for TSA staff

People do in fact remember that they kept TSA Pre and Global Entry running during the last shutdown

What is Trump going to sell to the country in the State of the Union on Tuesday? Tariffs, ICE, and a slower economy? Let's look at some data. First, the tariffs are wildly unpopular. 1/

*Mulaney question voice* What ELSE happened between those two things?

“Iran’s nuclear facilities have been obliterated - and suggestions otherwise are fake news.” - White House, June 25, 2025 www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

Can't wait for the new names we're going to learn when every A, B, C, and D lister turns down an invite to perform at the 250th birthday bash. I've got ten dollars down on "Glink Groomo" and and a homeschooled pair of ribbon twirlers named collectively "Skylerr(s) Cortonfeldt."

Every single element of life is either more deadly, more expensive or more inconvenient (often all three) today than it’s been in decades & it’s purely because our robber baron overlords decided to dedicate the entirety of the US apparatus to doing barbaric & culturally suicidal white nationalism

I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.

WINNERS ALL

This is the kind of thing a rich CEO says at the beginning of a science fiction movie to establish for the audience that he is a sociopath and the villain.

This kid fucking rocks

It's funny that JD Vance keeps bragging to people how Catholic he is and *multiple* popes keep telling him to shut the fuck up and fuck off

This clip should be in every Dem campaign ad until the day he’s gone and the media is barely talking about it.

The trajectory for promoting AI is the same as it was for Trump (and from a lot of the same people). It went from "here are the good things about it" to "never mind whether it's good, it's inevitable."

“(ICE favorability is) almost break-even with people who get their news from Twitter. Compare that to other social media platforms like Reddit and TikTok, where over 70% of voters viewed the agency unfavorably.” You are what you (choose to) eat

I regret to say that there really is an audience for Bill Maher's shit, and it's Gen X or late Boomer guys who thought they were cool in their youth because they were atheists who liked porn, and who resent young people for being young. And they mostly have money! Same audience as the Free Press.

me normally: an extremely secular jew who has only ever lived in coastal states me when pope leo craps on jd vance: *extremely chicago accent* da pope babyyyyy

Read the Epstein files. They'll educate the public while also sustaining the filibuster all the way through the midterms.

How many thinkers/writers/academics/philosophers profiled or platformed by the NYT ended up in the Files? None of these people matter, but they get to comment on what's really American because they all are in pedo club together.

Allowing the least cool people in America to think they matter to real culture is one of the biggest reasons you can't trust the media. Bill Maher is pitching to like 8 people but the execs who make shows agree with him so he gets a show. Epstein Class shit.

George Wallace in 1962: "I started off talking about schools and highways and prisons and taxes and I couldn't make them listen. Then I began talking about n**rs and they stomped the floor." Donald Trump in 2023⬇️

The first rule of pedo club is you write 4 million typo-riddled emails about pedo club.

“You now live in a country where volunteers deliver babies at home, in secret, off the books, because mothers fear that if they go to the hospital, they will be abducted by masked, armed agents of the state while giving birth.”

This is disgusting. All of these people who negotiated with ICE and told no one what they did need to be removed from office.

Everyone in the world hates him and no matter how much money he steals he’s still miserable because he has the brain of a teenage incel stuck in the body of a mutated grub. He can’t come up with any good ideas and everyone who knows him thinks he sucks shit because he’s annoying. Poor guy

Genuinely, is it fair to keep bullying this guy? He clearly has a mental or physical disorder that makes him impossible to like. Maybe it’s not his fault he’s a huge piece of shit every day. Maybe he can’t help but be abhorrently offputting and fuck up everything he touches. Maybe he has anxiety

The dream of technology is a planet devoid of life where a single iPad asks what minor league baseball team Michael Jordan played for during his retirement and an artificial intelligence responds “splorps”

The asymmetry in a few courses they find distasteful versus legislating against “Revolutionary Leftist Indoctrination in Education” is so large that it strains the size of the known universe.

Scratch a small-government conservative and you’ll usually find someone who’s happy to bring the full weight of the state to crush their perceived ideological enemies.

Absolute nightmare for the simplest task imaginable. Now imagine this thing is mixed with surveillance and weapons systems!

Each action by the Trump administration can be categorized as evil, criminal, stupid, or a combination of the three.

It’s the epistemic double bind of rape trauma: the rape victim who appears to suffer is unreliable, crazy, untrustworthy either to relay the facts of her rape or to judge its gravity and consequence. The rape victim who does not appear to suffer, by contrast, was not really hurt.

What he did back in NYC/Atlantic City too

Oh hey the new Kind Hearts and Coronets remake is realllllllllllly bad. Just absolute content paste. I have rarely been more bored in a movie. I wish it wasn’t the case but a movie just absolutely devoid of a single interesting visual or sonic choice.

Emerald Fennell think she Sofia Coppola, Sofia Coppola think she Francis Ford Coppola, Francis Ford Coppola think he the Hamburglar

I just watched The Devil is Busy, one of the Oscar-nominated doc shorts--an extraordinary portrait of a woman who runs security at a women's healthcare clinic in Atlanta. A hugely worthy film on HBO Max. If Paramount gets WBD, can't imagine it being given this showcase. If Netflix does, I can.

OpenAI has done so much more evil shit than the guy who built fuckin Jurassic Park.

“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

Feels like you’d be hard pressed to find a more non-lethal way to completely wreck the entire US military
