I have an absolutely phenomenal amount of taxidermy, and you would not believe this, but people are generally really not into it

One of the things that unites all of Bari Weiss Free Press dildos is that they are the most arrogant people alive and also cannot stand a single person gainsaying them without immediately threatening that person's job. Bari loved to get professors fired

Trump is back and stand-up comedy is still bad

It's been explained to him that there will be a huge crisis if home prices tank (true); what we need is home prices to be steady or increase slower than inflation. It would be a huge problem if they crashed.

People are able to do it from significant distances now—either international, which makes it nearly impossible to confront, or domestic where it's pretty hard to track the person down and kick their ass.

I don't want to get into a fight about mutual aid today, but this is such an important point I'm going to risk it. The incentives here are *extremely bad*. This is a website where people get mad at you for warning people they are about to commit a crime.

People still bemoaning Amazon is so popular along Americans generally, but let's be honest, why wouldn't it be? Outside from a few inventory control things that they've gotten better about, if you order something from the website, it will be what you asked for and you'll get it quickly.

You know what, at this point, yes. If you live in a city and you need DoorDash *to live*, I consider you a hopeless case. If you cannot find your way to a care facility, it is time to perish.

Do I have any followers in Toronto?

I think it sucks that Covid killed the buffets where old people hang out. Kept them off the Internet at the troughs eating corn.

To distract from Greenland and because they have a trump-butt-licking president coming in now anyway, Chile should sell trump the Antarctic peninsula so he can rename it New Greenland or something and on his inaugural visit, totter off into the void like that fucking penguin

I have several incredibly unpopular cave diving opinions: 1. Should be places where you can rent a little drone with a light on it to navigate the cave so it's sort of like you're in there without you having to be in there. 2. They should drill/blast out the really narrow parts so it's way easier.

Absolutely asinine behavior in Syria ended up politically destabilizing all of Western Europe. It's one of the biggest American foreign policy failures of the modern era.

I know that to some people this might seem like a small complaint compared to other stuff or me trying to struggle for something, but I consider this an absolutely, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge mistake, like I can't overstate how mad this makes me.

People who say they love Obama are as vibes-based as anyone else because the main job of the president is foreign policy and you don't even wanna get into that

Mehmet Oz: Armenian Hunter feels like a public access TV show that you flip to in an alternate universe where the ottomans came out on top of wwi

(Takes a brave and foolish stance on this the bluest of skies) we were wrong to throw Bill Clinton under the bus because I actually think his is the energy we need.

If you can't petition the government to let them know why they are holding you and give you an audience with someone about your detention, do you have -other- civil liberties? If they don't need to ever tell you -why- they are detaining you, are you ever free at all

I like having bad mnemonics like my one for the great lakes is S'MHEO (pronounced "smum-heeyoh"). 'why not "HOMES"?' well smum-heeyoh to you too fella

Today I learned that a lot of people have long been really mad about this book (about a crappy little boy learning not to be a bigot anymore)

It's rare to get an example of gentrification literally involving the gentry. But Count Dracula qualifies. Really goes to show how failures to build sufficient housing lead to price inflation, especially in superstar cities where the global rich can just outbid local incomes.

Already a function provided by existing college savings accounts.

The moment in recent history that most succinctly captures Bari Weiss’s approach to bold reform is when Bill Ackman bought his way into a pro tennis tournament and then flailed around for a while as the audience booed. That’s the Bari Weiss Media Revolution in a capsule.

I accidentally bought some mild salsa, so what that does is makes chips wet

Her content was literally explaining how she got those make up effects, that's what the videos were

When the last Taylor Swift album came out, people said it was really bad. And now people are still saying it was really bad. I love Taylor Swift, but man what a bad album.

Women are flatly more left-wing as a population than men. That is just a fact.

Not to keep this discourse going, but I am kind of fascinated by how many people seem convinced that HP is an ideological statement against radical politics, given that (unlike many similar works!) it does not actually feature "people with the right intentions who go too far" as a plot point IIRC.

You never hear about the Blarney Stone anymore

Why stop there for this Odd Refried Bee?

One thing that really sold me on Biden was an article he wrote after he won the primary. He described the soul of the country and how we must protect it. It made me cry from how beautiful it was and convinced me that I want this man to be my president. I have never regret that decision

Bari Weiss is a prostitute who thinks all women are prostitutes so she doesn't get why women are annoyed she's a prostitute because everyone's doing it (everyone is not doing it).

add Will Stancil to Civ VII

You don't have to do this at all, you can just talk to normal people around you and they can puncture this. They will also have the benefit of being real people, and you can evaluate if the things that they are saying are true based on inference vs just going "hmm".

It's worth pointing out that this is an electoral strategy that has literally never worked a single time

We're now seeing a steady march of Catholic prelates with obvious backing from the Vatican saying hat it's time now to defund and liquidate ICE.

I mean he's not lamenting what happened, he just knows the right PR move was a different one than what they did. Even in his extremely fucking addled and old state, he understands TV better than these people.

I'm going to buy @cartoonshateher.bsky.social a trophy. I'm used to getting yelled at but I know she hates it so thanks for saying the thing that got me incessantly yelled at (and still does).

It's kind of funny that the 70s animated fox Robin Hood is 100% in favor of the crusades

I know people say the plan was always to destroy WaPo, but truthfully I think their take away from Trump's victory was that America was a lot more conservative and thus they had to be as well. But turns out the right barely reads as it is and their liberal audience fucking hated it.

fuck Kanye you're all stupid btw

How is a single child born in that godforsaken country

Extremely weird when workplaces go like wow, isn't it great that you can work from home now even on a snow day? I know that you were gonna be really sad if you couldn't do work!" Instead of the more honest "ha ha sucker you have a work laptop *whipcrack*" I mean nobody's really fooled by this right

I'm through volume one of Jonathan Strange, and I really did expect this to be a much darker book and I'm not totally sure why

A big problem here is it just doesn't ever end up having the returns that it seems like it should.

crisis across the Chinese military as officers attempt to live on their actual salaries.

Obviously, the way to really put a damper on illegal immigration is to punish employers more for hiring them, but the idea is not to reduce cheap labor, it is to terrorize a underclass and most likely pay them even less.

They brutalize and torture people of color because they're paid to; they shoot white people dead in the street because it's a dream come true for these goons. For them, it's fun to be cruel to people who are traditionally 'beneath' them, but euphoric to kill those perceived as their superiors.
