CHOTINER: And you call them steamed hams despite the fact they are obviously grilled.

“We apologise for any insensitivity or offence caused to the white supremacist community at this time”

I saw a guy get raptured. When Jesus pulled the dude up into the sky, he said, “I’m just taking this guy. I only need one guy.”

The most annoying thing about despair signalers is that in the face of what they believe to be the end of the world, it’s very important that everyone know they were right. www.cartoonshateher.com/p/on-despair...

I've been watching a lot of episodes of The Midnight Special (1970s mostly-music variety show) on YouTube (well, like one every couple weeks for 1-2 years) and I think one of modern music's biggest problems is that only hot people are allowed now

People don't want their change of heart to be met with "grace and empathy." They want a movement that allows them to pretend that they never changed their mind and were never wrong. MAGA's value proposition is you NEVER have to feel cognitive dissonance no matter how inconsistent you've been.

Protesters yell at one agent with an American flag mask and sleeves “Nazi” as they push demonstrators off the sidewalk in front of the driveway. “Proud of it,” the agent replied.

the UK so profoundly contradicts the narrative that 'the way to win back voters is abandoning trans rights' ok, starmer tried that & . . .

Everyone running against a Republican Senator should be reminding people nonstop that everyone knew this would happen and every Republican still voted to put an antivaxxer with no health or science background in charge of health and science for the entire country

Tonight's extremely dystopian news teaser

It's so important to respect other people's marriages, and ownership of their own blood. My conversation with Count Dracula:

Karen was always a kind and respectful colleague yet was regularly on "thin ice" for advocating for her section, Global Opinions, and for a broader range of left-leaning columnists than the centrist Dems and lapsed Republicans that dominated the place.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

A totally serious commitment and not at all extended in only one direction.

this is a good thread but I might actually take it further -- I don't think manosphere shit is actually about getting laid, I think it's literally about male loneliness, by which I mean, men addressing their loneliness via homosocial bonding through misogyny

Let's say it again: 1) Harvard said "No," and Trump has backed off. 2) Chicago (and Illinois) said "No," and Trump has backed off. It's day by day. But those who said "OK, sure," have gained nothing at all. Except shame.

incredible waste. if they hired a dj they could have sold tickets to this.

"Kirk told his listeners that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson of the Supreme Court “is what your country looks like on critical race theory,” that former Vice President Kamala Harris was “the jive speaking spokesperson of equity,” and that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “was awful.”"

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

between this and the false wsj bullet casings report its hard to believe theyre not intentionally trying to fuel magas bloodthirsty rampage

"Frank Castle, a great man. War hero. He has the most beautiful van, a battlevan! They call it the battlevan. Microchip was... pretty nasty to him, ultimately. Not very nice!"

thank god we’re all against political violence

Look, there are so many amazing things to say about HIGH AND LOW that I understand why it doesn't come up, but we should occasionally mention that one undercover cop's slutty little outfit

"universal health care means studios wouldn’t have to subsidize workers’ medical expenses" -- hmmm interesting

The most striking thing about this era is how badly you're punished, constantly, just for being able to see things as they obviously are. And I'm not even talking about personal or professional consequences, just the constant psychic damage you take from knowing that 1 + 1 doesn't equal fish.

Two Democratic legislators were shot, along with their spouses. Even their dog was shot. One had to dive on top of their child to protect them. Trump didn’t attend the funeral. There was no widespread condemnation of political violence. The culture must change and gun control is long overdue

The truth of the matter is that if anyone but Charlie Kirk had been killed at today’s shooting, then Charlie Kirk would be out there right now using the shooting as pretext to deliver arguments designed to make sure that the next shooting would happen, and the next one, and the next, and the next.

me in the downtown area of any city on earth: but despite all of our differences, are we not all siblings and friends? me driving on a highway anywhere on earth: i support the total eradication of the human race and i vote

Did this guy have any non-crime hobbies/interests that any of his friends including the current president ever talked to him about

Highest level of support since Gallup started asking this question a quarter century ago

“I’m strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm” of course you do. You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

Signs bearing President Trump’s name have gone up at major construction projects. They were financed by the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law which he passionately opposed ahead of its passage.

If it’s run for profit, then it’s profiting off of … us. When I hear that the post office lost money, I think this: Good. We already paid for it. Why on earth should it make even more money from us? Who would keep the money? Would we see it?

This mayonnaise was made by a "Hell man?" You mean a demon?

After rolling my eyes at every piece of promotional material for, and the title of, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, I learned this week that it was directed by Kogonada?? Will it be... good???

We took the paywall down on this one. defector.com/how-the-fuck...

i haven’t got the words lmao

starmer is doing all the anti-immigrant and anti-trans "popularism" stuff the centrists are demanding US dems do and this is the predictable result:

"President Trump owes us answers about his health": weak, frames him as good-faith statesman, boring "What did JD Vance know about Trump's health and when did he know it?": interesting, carries implication Trump's health is fucked up as a given, implies scandal spreading throughout admin

That's where the phantom of the Fountain Square Theatre lives

🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”

oh nooo did our rebrand cause people to talk about our company they hadn't thought about in years and express how much they like our logo wowww I never planned for this

There's a gentleman in the Netflix docuseries "The Program" who is billed as a journalist, who deserved Googling, whose sense of flair seems to veer from maybe mid-2000s Inside the NBA panelist to what you see here, which fits thematically, I assure you.

Being right sucks sometimes.
