You can only remove universal birthright citizenship from the 14th Amendment by inserting words that are not present in the text, like “allegiance,” then defining them in an idiosyncratic way engineered to produce your preferred result. No one should credit this fundamentally fraudulent enterprise.

Holiday Hot Take Number 6: If you're going to invoke Eartha Kitt's groundbreaking song "Santa Baby," you better fully commit to wanting to fuck Santa. No pronoun changing, no "Santa Pally," no fully meaning chimney without the double entendre. Commit. I'm lookin at you, Bublé.

Scheduled my birthday dinner for 4pm so there is much more time for crying.

JFC, can the NYT ever leave behind their love of trumpy focus groups? Maybe they could report some news.

It’s not even just general group chats, it’s specifically “thought leaders” being in the same group chats as reactionary tech billionaires thinking they can influence them only for the influence to (predictably) flow the other way

This is the outcome intended by the eugenicists who now run the government.

Let's be very clear that one of the major effects of the CDC no longer recommending various vaccinations is that it becomes much harder for folks who still want to be—or want their children to be—vaccinated to get their insurance providers to cover those vaccinations.

Holy hell, this is terrifying. Rabies is a nightmare way to go.

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

lol lmao

“Expanding the Court and imposing term limits” IS the moderate compromise position.

It's KRAMPUSNACHT!! This is your annual reminder that Krampus is an Antifascist hero 👹🎄❤️

The only thing that matters about Olivia Nuzzi is that she conspired to help put RFKj in a position where he was guaranteed to kill children.

"How do I make my boss happy?" is the question that dominates the mind of every little authoritarian, and they instinctively assume it's on everyone else's mind as well.

In other words, Ellison is going back to the old standard where rapists and racists have free rein, and everyone else is “walking on eggshells” to placate them.

"more children should die" is a cornerstone tenet of American conservatism

Our CDC, voting to kill children.

This is exactly the message I want to hear. Not one inch of ground given. Not one post office closed.

Once for a date night, my wife put on the Apple Music "Cocktails and Crooners" station. Billie Holliday came on at a particularly intimate moment. It was "Strange Fruit."

"if they domesticate raccoons i'm definitely getting one" okay listen i'm being so serious right now. have you really actually thought through the consequences of inviting a smart omnivorous cat with thumbs to stay in your home for the entirety of its natural life?

"a society rediscovering the value of quiet reflection" buddy our fridges have ad screens on them

Whoop-di-do, Tarantula Town!

How the fuck can two guys in a small boat meaningfully “fight” a drone to begin with?
