If your office is on the south side of the Capitol complex you can ignore the following: If Lucy is holding a football, don’t try to kick it. She’s not to be trusted. Thanks.

We’re doing a land office business in meat hooks and piano wire. 😡

That goes for you two, @schumer.senate.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social. DO NOT CAVE TO THE LYING REPUBLICANS. DENY THEM ANY CONCESSIONS.

Narcissistic anhedonia.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

“Quite simply, the possibility of AGI is an existential threat to big tech. So from an executive perspective, lighting comically large piles of money on fire trying to teach graphics cards how to read is, surprisingly, the logical play.” This is very good. malwaretech.com/2025/08/ever...

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

🔥 And they say Canadians are nice. 🤨

Zatoichi with a light saber would be batshit insane. Would definitely purchase the Director’s Cut Blu-ray.

He always looks like he’s had a cattle prod shoved up his ass.

“Will no one rid me of this tasteless Philistine?”

I guess we could call this a false appositive. I’ll show myself out.

What’s with the lubed-up ear? Has Laura Loomer been visiting? 🤨

Honestly, the rejection of the Oxford comma on principle confuses me. Omitting it adds nothing to comprehensibility in most cases, and in certain cases like these it *introduces* confusion. It’s not like print media has to pay for extra punctuation typesetting nowadays. It’s a bizarre fetish.

I’ll reserve judgment on how much of a polymathic “genius” McCarthy was. He certainly was broadly curious and a huge book hoarder. But having a large library myself, I can testify that *reading* 85% of it does not mean you *understand* 85% of what you read. www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture...

These plus the photo from yesterday should earn Harnik the Pulitzer Prize.

Completely agree. Make governing an aspirational profession with proper incentives, and you will attract a better class of politicians.

Stupid, bleating sheep.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

This shit pisses me off so much (and “liberal” women do this all the time btw. ‘Oh men fight but women give the silent treatment and gossip’). I worked on a trading floor. I used to say it was like Joan Rivers & the fcking Fashion Police. Men gossip and form cliques and ice people out ALL THE TIME.

And like a bad neighbor… Zuckerberg is there

NEW: The End of the Line: the centrepiece of Saudi Arabia’s Neom gigaproject - a 500m tall, 170km long wall-like building intended ultimately to house 9 million people - can’t get out of the ground, say more than 20 former Neom architects, engineers and senior executives. ig.ft.com/saudi-neom-l...

Giraffe, lemon, squirrel.

Red sky at night Capitalists and rentiers take flight

Tiger, elephant, camel.

There he goes again, threatening us with a good time. 🍿

Here's my rundown of oral arguments in the Trump tariff case. -Conservative justices weren't buying the government's claims -Roberts seems to want to use this to entrench the major questions doctrine -Alito was grabbing at straws -Trump will probably move to Sec 122 prospect.org/2025/11/05/s...

Just picturing all the business interests trying to set up calls with City Hall and Lina Khan being all “well hello boys”

Small print below: “Please have your bribes and emoluments ready”

As his first act as Mayor, Zohran Mamdani lowers housing costs at a stroke by forcing 50,000 rich New Yorkers to flee in terror.

real sense in which last night was fairly predictable. real question is why our pundits and the elites who listen to them couldn’t see it. (gift link)

This.

The Republican Party sure has been acting like it was, and they would never have to face the voters again. FAFO

He resembles nothing so much to me as the (inexplicably) charismatic leader of a Prosperity Gospel cult.

GOOD MORNING TO THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF NEW AMSTERDAM

“For it to be great, New York has to attract the world’s most talented and brilliant, and its most industrious and hardworking, not just its richest, and they are not the same thing.” www.unpopularfront.news/p/thoughts-o...

I seem to recall one of the subplots of TBS was that Burry was (almost disastrously) early.

So Schumer never did endorse, huh. Nor Gillibrand. Just irredeemable pieces of shit, the entire NY senate delegation

No shit, Sherlock. You can’t put anything past the FBI. For too long, anyway. 🤨

Going to permanently home-school my kids so I can teach them crazy stuff like science, critical thinking, reading and research while the entire world's education system collapses into tech facist AI slop

Gotta love it. People Magazine rocks.

The denizens of Palm Beach are not known for their discretion, modesty, good taste, or indeed moral empathy. It is a self-indulgent cesspit for rich old people.

I guarantee you that the average per capita expenditure on plastic surgery among this crowd is $25,000 per woman over the age of 50.

THIS MOTHERFUCKER HELD A GREAT GATSBY PARTY WHILE 43 MILLION PEOPLE GO HUNGRY AND HEALTHCARE COSTS KEEP RISING.

Because he wants to cosplay as part of the most militant wing of the MAGA right: Evangelical Christians.
