Genius guy: Well I’m finally ready to support the right thing but… How fucking brilliant would I be if I only supported it halfway? Bunch of consultants who look like Grima Wormtongue majored in Data Science: oh yes my liege, brilliant gambit my liege

Remember when you couldn't use the internet on the can?

See now this is the kind of product announcement that's genuinely new and intriguing! Solar panel integration harkens back to digital integration in terms of sudden advancement

A visibly emotional Anne Hathaway responding to a trans kid--who named herself Ella after Ella Enchanted, and thanked Hathaway for her courage as an ally--saying "Ella, sweetie, I want to make something absolutely clear: It takes zero courage to love you"......now I might cry too

Every bet Bin Salman made has been a disaster. Backing Trump, peace with Israel, Neom, Sports investments, war in yemin, sawing up his enemies, eSports, SoftBank. The biggest oil fund on earth flushed down the toilet to no apparent benefit.

Biden winning the election then completely tanking so bad that Trump won again completely destroys the moderate theory of Trump all three ran on, that taking the temperature down would return the GOP to merely the level of fascism it ran with in the 2000s. How'd that work out.

Americans should have a way to get these at polling stations for turnout

Muckrakers these days are too lazy to get off the couch and actually go through someone's bins

Anyone ranting about "tankies" while Nazis are in power is pro-Nazi.

this is the same type of posting they did when cracker barrel changed its logo

Just picturing the episode of the Newsroom that would've come out of this

without lionizing Leo XIV too much, i think people are brought up short by encountering someone in a position of authority who seems to have commitments to stable concepts of right and wrong that supersede class loyalty to other powerful people (which is largely the same as what Dan is saying)

"ohhhhh but i would have to hold my nose and vote for a leftier candidate tooooooo what about that huh. what if a huge radical took the win, wouldn't there be egg on my face then" c'mon man. we know that's not happening and you cannot and do not imagine it happening

Liberals be saying things like: twitch streamers are the grande bourgeois while declaring themselves far smarter than them

Listen ya beauty. I'm not here to fuck spiders. Spent me whole fuckin arvo listenin to ya, ya bloody cunt

The index of consumer sentiment isn't broken; models that try to predict it just don't have the right input variables. I fix that and find that, yes, high nominal price levels explain why the vibes are so off. It's the prices, stupid www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-04-14...

I think that as economists we should be a lot more concerned that everyone feels like they've got poorer when the data show they haven't. We certainly shouldn't just be assuming that the customers are wrong, rather than that we're no longer measuring things that are most relevant to wellbeing

If the Simpsons still had its edge they would've started a recurring bit where Lionel Hutz is President in 2016

I don’t even like her or her music that much but when you realize that Roan, who left her talent agency when she found out the CEO was in the Epstein Files, is getting more hate than half the people in the actual Epstein files, you do have no choice but to become this woman’s strongest soldier

Damn, so sorry to hear about your readers

Anyway, in honor of CTH’s 10th anniversary, I will once again post one of the greatest/most prescient quotes from co-host Matt Christman, made only a year into the podcast, calcifying the adage that the greatest sin of the left is being completely right about things, but too early.

Campus can't divest from the US, and Trump is immovable, so protesters are leaving campus and joining No Kings to get Trump out! It's not rocket science! Imagine writing a "where are the protesters?" piece in the midst of the largest national protests in US history smdh.

Is there any evidence at all that college age protest action has dried up? I'm seeing images of some of the biggest protests and marches in American history over the past year online, don't get the feeling this involves no young people.

That’s Smee in the corner

But the bourgeoisie is more afraid of the movement of the masses than of reaction. Hence the striking, incredible weakness of the liberals in politics, their absolute impotence.

We still have people being paid to write how SJWs curtailed their free speech.

I know that’s bad english and all, but I fucking hate this deathbed repentance after years of writing Stormfront posts masquerading as a syndicated column and it pisses me off that they think they deserve a seat at the table rather than being told to fuck off forever
