You definitely don't want too much liquid going in the baby. 🫤

One reason I do not think Trump is going to create a 1,000 year reich is because he failed to cancel a middling funnyman and immediately pivoted to trying to outlaw not having a headache.

This is how I'm dressing for the rapture

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

The funniest part of this is acetaminophen is the (perfectly safe) drug. Tylenol is a *brand*, and by attacking the brand and not the drug, the US government has just given Kenvue a massive gift when this goes to court. Their lawyers are likely drooling right now.

I must confess that when I was younger I expected the future to have more robot butlers and jetpacks, and less fascism and genocide, but here we are.

Blöthar the Berserker, armed with a mighty battle axe, impenetrable shield, the udders which are the main natural defense mechanism of his species, has gone too far

who knows, but i find it somewhat unlikely that kimmel is coming back to new and stricter editorial oversight for a show that’s likely ending this year and which he has wanted to leave for a few years now, after having been suspended in a way that has proven a massive liability for his employer

Looking for those who believe the Rapture is tomorrow to Venmo me their filthy worldly money. Thank you in advance.

I have been promised a rapture every few years of my adult life. And each and every time the day passes and we’re still stuck with these assholes.

Trump's base lives in the suburbs and exurbs and hates cities, but they also *need* cities, because cities have shopping, entertainment, and sports. And relying on cities without living in them means they need roads and parking even when actual city-dwellers want fewer cars on their streets.

There’s nothing wrong with John Roberts that woundn’t be fixed by giving him dozens and dozens of new colleagues

Imagine: 1. Picking a fight with Jimmy Kimmel. 2. Losing.

"We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and we have come to the conclusion that liberal Disney adults account for a distressingly large percentage of our annual profits."

Amen.

#BREAKING: Over dissents from Justices Sotomayor, Kagan & Jackson, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the Slaughter case (allowing President Trump to remove the last Dem member of the FTC), *and* grants certiorari "before judgment" to decide whether to formally overrule its 1935 ruling in Humphrey's Executor.

Death of the Author? had it coming, to be honest, after what happened to all those darlings

A lot of politics of this era is breaking ancient truces and assuming that the other-side won't fight back

the bargain of, let’s say, fairly stable, small-d democratic capitalism is that the average person gets better living standards and wages and doesn’t have to think very much about politics, and i think everyone involved in politics will come to regret the choice to change the terms of the agreement

"In the name of 'fighting antisemitism', the Trump administration is publicly making an example out of arguably the most famous Jewish public intellectual in the country today."

"Are ghost candles a fire hazard?" Is that a real candle that looks like a ghost or a candle in another plane of existence that looks like a ghost and was lit by a ghost or did the ghost light a real candle in our plane of existence and the appearance of the candle is irrelevant. Help us help you.

The Long Con remains an extremely important text in understanding US conservatism thebaffler.com/salvos/the-l...

During the summer, I wrote an article in the TTRPG independent outlet @rascal.news, about Twilight Sun and finally it's the time to share it with everyone ^^

This needs to be studied.

Tron: Ares should be a perfect storm of a flop. It’s a Tron movie, it stars Jared Leto and there’s the Disney boycott. But watch it be a hit because moviegoing is in right now and Disney’s been working hard to gaslight everyone into thinking Tron is a beloved film franchise

It's sobering, in its way, to realize that there was truly nobody (save, perhaps, his children) who knew him that loved him as a man. He made himself into content, and he died as content, and his funeral is the most content of all. Soundbites to soundbites, bits to bits

I think Bouie's right. Trump's been desperate for approval his entire life. Now that he's found out not even being President will bring him respect from the elites whose admiration he craves, he's just gonna make everyone suffer while he lines his pockets and directly targets enemies.

One of the hard things about being American these days is you find yourself thinking maybe the wrong side won the American Revolution.

What movie do you consider "perfect"?

It's okay, we hate you too, you grifting rapist.

FDR won 42 states in 1932, it wasn't by pandering to Hoover voters. Then Republicans called him a socialist for 4 years. Then he ran for reelection and won 46 states

I can explain the term "the woke right." The logic: 1) I denounced "wokeness" for years, proclaiming it dire threat to free speech, a civilizational danger 2) This fascism I was downplaying while focused on wokeness seems actually bad 3) Since I am by definition never wrong, the fascism is wokeness

Will do! I wonder what kind of poison they're using?

In this week’s newsletter, we recap our 25K milestone on Bluesky Social. Weird to post about it here I know, but we had such a marvelous response to our art share that we decide to spotlight some of the talented artists who participated: theartofmichaelwhelan.substack.com/p/a-mileston...

"Okay, everybody! On your right you'll see the campus food court, which is open six to nine Monday through Friday and takes meal cards. On our left is the Captain Kirk statue, which I was told is there because an actor who played him in movies went here. Sometimes we decorate it for Halloween."

If even half the things in Careless People are true, Meta should be shot into the sun.

I always thought Charlie Kirk was pretty dense, but this isn't what I meant.

One thing you learn in life is that "speaking truth to power" and practicing integrity is easy when your job, your money, your fame, or your office is not on the line. The hard is speaking truth and practicing integrity when any one of those is on the line. That is the test of who you are.

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

I've seen a lot of videos lately of women that are peacefully protesting being violently thrown to the ground by angry men dressed in tactical gear with big guns. It's disgusting and jarring, but can I also point out that the women aren't the ones that look weak or scared.

Again Bouie from the top rope

To acknowledge that their ideas continue to lose popularity because they're unappealing ideas would require a kind of humility, intelligence, and self-awareness that jibes with neither their preening self-regard nor with their belief their ideas come straight from God or a natural order.

"We need to expand the tent by running conservative Democrats in red states." Tell me you have completely forgotten that starting around 1965 there was an ideological realignment of the parties without admitting you don't remember there were conservative Southern Democrats in office until the 1990s.

JUST NOW: @aoc on the Republican Charlie Kirk resolution Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DOym49N...

"What if the Carter economy with President Nixon on steroids?"

Someone personally assaulted by an ICE agent is just so much less likely to agree to let them off the hook for their crimes for the purpose of bipartisanship or whatever bullshit excuse.

OMG - the judge in Florida just sua sponte struck the complaint in the Trump v NYT case for -wait for it - violating Rule 8. Lawyers, tell the folks at home how hard it is to get the complaint struck outright for something like that in fed eral court. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
