Sorry but that’s not an inherently weird social science question

*explaining feminism to stoller* so imagine the patriarchy as a monopoly

The LA election discourse is a good reminder that Democrats are overly process focused and build well intentioned systems that move far too slowly, whereas Republicans are really stupid.

This might be unpopular here, but I really think we have to do something about the union for the election rigging guys. I support labor but the overtime rules kinda fucked us in 2024 and with the governor’s race this year, these contract’s aren’t sustainable.

They did it. The crazy sons a bitches did it.

Medieval peasant: Ho there, time traveller! Me (sheepishly holding Doritos bag): M-me? Peasant: Your kind bringeth these salted wafers yet not one drop of Mountain’s Dew

James Dolan has me believing NYPD statements

Literally, yes. The whole reason Predator works is that it takes a team of crack badass commandos from an 80s action movie, has them act out an 80s action movie for the 30 minutes, and then the Predator shows up and all of a sudden it's a slasher movie, but the commandos DON'T KNOW THAT.

LOAD BEARING DRYWALL

Two-Face flips a coin to decide which wins: his desire to vote for evil or Harvey Dent's decades old feud with Cuomo over some entirety forgotten but of legal minutiae.

Me: ooh cool bird The Ghostly Dimetrodon that speaks to me constantly: kill the usurper my child avenge me AVENGE ME

Why are Birds Lizard Hipped Dinosaurs not Bird Hipped Dinosaurs? Are they stupid?

2008 was weird once you have 2016 in retrospect. Clinton was the white working class candidate! She was (sometimes, not always) pushing Obama from the left.

TBH I like solar canopies over car lots because it's awesome when you can park your car in the shade and it doesn't get hot.

"I hate the HR Lady because she works for The Man, who I'm neutral to positive on"

1) I wish for all future wishes from all sources to be interpreted in the manner most beneficial to my emotional, physical, and mental well being. 2) I wish that every all other worldwide wish granting paraphernalia be teleported to the warehouse at the attached address. 3) Double Stuff Oreos.

Jacobin arriving in 1590s Paris: “I come from the far future of the 1790s!” “Ooh, tell us how Paris is doing!” “We throw up barricades when we don’t get what we want, we’re crushing the religious rebels in the Vendee, and we tell the King to fuck off when he challenges our religious thinking!”

Absolutely criminal that Kirk and Janeway have "Future Birthplace" Statues in Iowa and Indiana, but Sisko doesn't have anything in New Orleans.

I'd say Boomer Humor but this is from 1957, this is a joke *about* Baby Boomers not understanding how the world worked in the good ol days before electronics.

This is a boomer complaint I have about the internet. The entire works of Shakespeare are available for free. You can read Moby Dick on Wikipedia. Even more is available if you’re willing to pirate. But no, we don’t do this.

You probably get Giga Poland that's all of pre-war and all of post-war and possibly whatever they'd call Kaliningrad.

I always loved this New Yorker cover too

Me reading Among Us comments but having to keep an urban dictionary window open all the time because I can barely understand the youth slang

greg davies and alex horne awarding you one point

It is useful to get a list in advance of guys who talk a big game about democratic socialism but are 100% not going to support AOC’s presidential run

"so the marine you recruited to run for Senate as a masculine outsider has Nazi tattoos" is like, a leftist hypothetical of Vote Blue No Matter Who of a centrist random in 2018. The only twist here is that he's on the different line of the fight.

mamdani in particular is 100% a Nice Young Man! has absolutely zero of the affect that certain people are like "well ACTUALLY being ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES in this way is a SUBSTANTIVE SIGNAL OF GOOD POLITICS" with planter

Holy shit I wasn't ever expecting to do that. I just went 82-0, think you can go 82-0? www.82-0.com/share?id=uOC...

I was not ready for this... this one hurts. www.bbc.com/news/article...

It's like that NTSB report on the Titanic Sub that includes an interview with the Anonymous Director of the film "Titanic."

Cuban soldiers being ordered to defend Chevron Oil Wells against American backed insurgents.

The Meiji Restoration was wild. It's like if suddenly everyone decided the Pope NEEDED to return to Avignon. Like what? What the fuck are you talking about, this was a solved political issue for half a millennium.

The fundamental underlying problem in Maine is multiple younger-than-Mills normie libs deciding to run redundant longshot-at-best campaigns for governor because they were too chickenshit to challenge Collins in what is going to be something like a D +10 context

The SI unit of measure for an amount of consciousness is the Chalmers (ch). A rock is 0 Ch. A tree roughly 100. The average dog has around 80 kilochalmers of self awareness, while the average human is around 1.2 megachalmers. This is all basic science really

CHICAGO —

(in the seventh month of defending a candidate who has slowly revealed himself to be a werewolf) so actually I think most guys get worse under the full moon

Why, Richard, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for a Marine with a Totenkopf Tattoo?

Guy who hates the Houthis because they sold out to the perfidious Twelver.

One of the extremely horrifying things about the Tiananmen Square massacre of June 1989 is that it’s not just China’s hatred of liberal democracy. It’s that the PLA murdered pro-democracy student protesters, union organizers, and communists who did not agree with Reform and Opening Up.

wait do people not have this post committed to memory like I do? bsky.app/profile/kyle...

they passed a law mandating the elimination of the strategic helium reserve basically because they thought it made a silly-sounding example of government overspending because the only association most americans had with "helium" was "party balloons"

It's funny learning that the reason there's going to be a crippling helium supply shortage even though the United States once had a huge strategic reserve of it is literally because Republicans did the "jeff thinks the beans have to take turns lmao" thing to it

People who have spent much time shop-talking about comics with me know I have a perennial gripe that not enough people in comics are trying to make an Opus. Too much trying to amuse the public or engaging current trends. My example of Who To Be was typically Marjane Satrapi. What a loss.
