War is an abstract concept to many Americans. They view it through a media lens that presents it as exciting and honorable, rather than ugly and sad.

"You fucked up and lead your unit into an ambush" is never met with "why don't criticize the enemy, who were *shooting at us* instead?!" because certain things are implicit.

you've been hit by you've been struck by a huge vehicle

Shohei's reaction to the boos, lol.

Somebody check under Skattebo's helmet for a rat pulling his hair.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

It probably saved Pete Hegseth's life that they didn't make these when he was deployed

MAGAtron Just like Megatron except the P-38 he transforms into has the "original markings"

ICE was always operating on discriminatory policies, the Roberts Court has simply given them carte blanche in the manner of the Fugitive Slave Law

I'm actually a socialist of a really categorically unfree markets free people type and even then I would consider myself, philosophically, an individualist. I have very strong inclinations in favour of dont tread on me thinking

Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on. www.avclub.com/riyadh-comed...

We can't pay Americans to do farm labor, but we sure as hell can give them SUVs, guns, and signing bonuses to kidnap and falsely imprison farm workers

Reptilian, orange, hoards wealth, impossibly ancient, demands young maidens to satiate his appetite, obsessed with gold, breathes fire. Nah, we got a pretty good idea of the dragon.

We don't have to speculate where Charlie Kirk's soul is. It is certainty in hell. He craved to see others suffer when he was alive. If he has an eternal reward he is surrounded by suffering. A paradise where no one suffered or wanted would be torture to him. It's either his hell, or it's yours.

Mario Kart is 21st century Uno

To spell some shit out unambiguously: fascism requires domestic abuse to propagate itself. Demands it. There is no way to humanely teach your children that might makes right. There is no way to gently love a spouse you think is your genetic intellectual inferior. These are inextricably linked.

We cannot claim the moral high ground over the DPRK for their use of sub-based commandoes to kidnap civilians off Japanese beaches for intelligence work. Murder is worse than kidnapping.

The Atlantic is being extremely Atlanticky. For a second I thought it was a @theonion.com style parody.

Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

I once asked some Kirkland PD officers if they'd ever investigated wage theft and got the blankest of looks.

Exactly, it is a matter of what social class one belongs to, or caste within the hierarchy. A wealthy white man abusing children is just excercising his privilegie. A black working class person being at the wrong place is a dangerous criminal to be punished. It has nothing to do with actions.

During COVID, people like the current head of the NIH and the head of FDA's CBER division accused me to an audience of millions of committing "child abuse" for simply creating mathematical models of school closures and childhood vaccination. This was concerning. IMO they knew what they were doing.

The Big Clebowski (2025)

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

Great to see @heycappello.bsky.social launching a Democratic campaign that nobody can believe in!

Du Bois on what these assholes were really like

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

I have strong opinions on trans sports. They suck. Ugly ass dustbuster-looking minivans. Couldn't even get them with a manual.

for years SIG has been denying their enormously popular P320 pistol (a militarized version became standard for the US military) fires on its own. The FBI investigation is out, the gun does go off on its own youtu.be/LfnhTYeVHHE

Marc Andreesen isn't from Iowa or Wisconsin. He's from Remulac. If you've never heard of it, it's in France.

I think it's now possible to make a poli-sci course that equips one for modern political analysis better than most classic theory and has a syllabus sourced entirely from random internet posts. Text 1. Wilhoit's Law, born as part of a 2018 blog comment crookedtimber.org/2018/03/21/l...

I mean fine but if Mamdani was Spider-Man the editor of the big local paper would have a completely over-the-top and underexplained vendetta against him

I think it rocks that when Democrats win by dramatic margins they’re like “Let’s do a healthcare plan written by the Heritage Foundation and not include a public option” and when Republicans win it’s just 4 years of the Temple of Moloch from Metropolis

Seven of Nine to Five

I'm often asked what Democratic politicians can do to learn from pro wrestling and combat Republican neokayfabe The simplest answer to that question is just, "Practice doing Dusty Rhodes's 1985 'Hard Times' promo in front of the mirror every morning until you really MEAN it" 🗣️ #wrestlesky #polisky
