There is just a total collapse of ambition in American politics; nobody seems to believe anything better or different is possible and it's all just a matter of managing decline and fighting over the spoils, so it all just ends up being gangsterism versus pensonary politics.

It’s very funny that all indications are that an adaptation of Homer could be one of the biggest movies of the year with both critics and the box office and this is universally interpreted as a catastrophe for the conservative right because they’re poisoned themselves against culture

occam's razor is that this was a prank mcconnell was doing which he discontinued as soon as lindsey graham died on account of it becoming distasteful, like when Mr Peanut's rebirth was stalled due to the inopportune demise of kobe bryant

Millennials in a nursing home are going to say shit like "when I was younger, cameras used to give everyone red eyes"

open borders

It's kinda hilarious that the average boomer marijuana user today can enjoy doses that'd kill musicians in the 60s and 70s

Haley Stevens voted to:

It's not clear to me why there should be a single Democratic senator who voted with Republicans to sanction the International Criminal Court for doing its job and indicting a war criminal for committing a war crime.

From Stephan Zweig's The World of Yesterday.

The weirdest kind of mainstream argument on here is that giving a country bombs does not make you complicit in how they are used

buzzed my hair and got "sirred" on the street 10 minutes later hell yeah

I have a few: 1) The night sky. Light pollution has fundamentally changed our experience of the stars. 2) Actual quiet - no distant traffic or electrical lines. 3) Music and the spoken word. We’ve been raised in literate and now audiovisual cultures; that’s a recent innovation. 4) Memory.

what is the reverse historical dorito? the thing from the past that would blow our minds in a positive way

I think we would be blown away by how few people there are, comparatively. The Roman Empire in Jesus’s time had a population no greater than 60 million people and was like a third of the global population. England in the 1400s was like two million people.

This carries through until much more recently, too. In the 1770s, the colonies had about 2 million people and Great Britain had about 8 million. Revolutionary Paris, the second-largest city in Europe, was about the size of today's El Paso.

I'm actually completely alive and fine everybody, I;m just hanging out with my wife at the hospital that lets you wear jeans in bed. Thank you for your well wishes

detaching quotes is honestly so fun

functionally every single person on earth was seeing a night sky with brighter and clearer stars than basically anyone on earth can see today, until about 150 years ago, due to light pollution.

OFFICIAL: Sen. Mitch McConnell's team has confirmed that he WILL be participating in the Home Run Derby during the MLB All-Star festivities.

This is the funniest possible tribute he could have posted.

alright hear me out

I think the problem with the Rock is that the Rock still thinks he’s really cool while John Cena realized that he’s a ridiculous human being and did interesting things with that and Batista realized he was a ridiculous human being and decided to become Daniel Day Louis

wow oh no aw geeze anyway sorry this video attached itself somehow I'm not good enough at computer to remove it

do you think it was the rfk jr super diarrhea because tbh that might be too funny for me to handle

“Pat, I’d like to solve the puzzle”

lindsey graham won't see your jokes and memes because he got diarrhea and is in hell now, but someone writing an op-ed titled "the left's problem with manners" might. So make them really funny.

been thinking a lot today about this wojak I found

do you know how bad diarrhea has to be to do that to you

Capitalism is a poor shoplifter being treated orders of magnitude worse than a rich person whose stolen wealth cost countless lives

Same thing as asking the Israeli army to investigate the Israeli army for its systematic policy of assassinating Palestinian journalists, doctors, medics, academics, etc.

Bill Clinton is an anti-Arab racist but even he's a political animal and a ball knower and he temporarily forgot about that personal animosity when he saw med-student Abdul.

I rewatched porco rosso recently, and ooohh I love him

Hell yeah dude give it a shot!

"New Dem nominees represent a wide array of Americans: a doctor who volunteered in Gaza; a campus protest leader; an attorney who lost her job after accusing her employer of stifling free speech regarding Palestine; a reverend who condemned Israel's "apartheid" against Palestinians 24hrs after 10/7"

Lindsey Graham assures me we will be greeted in the undiscovered country as liberators.

I don't begrudge people who think calling on Israel to "tackle" or "punish" or "rein in" settlers is a good idea but the very framing of it really just demonstrates how low-info everyone is about Israel

the fact that our elites cannot, ever, just call a thing what it is will be the death of this society. he was a vicious, antisocial scumbag. his crimes are literally legion. if the opposition can't vocalize that what good are they? and werent they trying to jail this loser? grow a pair

I’m saddened to announce the passing of my work colleague, The Zodiac Killer. While we were often on opposing sides of the business, I always enjoyed his silly little scavenger hunts.

Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.

Amy Klobuchar’s eulogy for Lindsey Graham was 390 words long. This was 390 more words than she has said in support of trans people

Funniest possible breaking news banner on this amazing headline from a few months ago

remember, be careful what you post on a day like this. If you do it right, you can get illegally fired for being disrespectful to Lindsay Graham and then win a massive lawsuit about 10 months from now and retire with 2 million in your pocket

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

i know you’re looking for it. here she is, girls. here she is, world

Hey, a good way to celebrate Lindsey Graham kicking the bucket is to contact your senators about KOSA and the KIDS Act. Graham was a big proponent of these kinds of laws, as well as of gutting section 230.

This is bad, but you need to see that they’re getting desperate

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:
