I am personally disgusted by this and would like to be on record that if I were presented with this set of facts, I would absolutely vote to convict per the judge's instructions. The law is the law, and I have as little right to ignore that as a hypothetical prosecutor has reason to strike me.

The progression of ED medicine ads is so funny. 1996: "I'm Bob Dole and you and your wife deserve to enjoy the autumn years, with Viagra" 2000: "Cialis takes the guesswork out of loving your wife" 2015: "fellas under 40, don't be ashamed. Hims is here" 2022: "Destroy the pussy with Bluechew"

One piece of crucial infrastructure for an cheap-power world is gonna be in-road induction charging on uphills on the interstate. The entire road network is never going to be feasible, but uphill climbs slaughtering the battery is always going to be a logistical problem if we don't do the hills.

This was predictable for the reasons it was basically happening anyway. Meanwhile, I'm white, so I get the space to hate myself and my failures for the fact that he's four years younger than me...

I am a known Millennial chauvinist but this one was a proper ass-showing on our part. Kids today have infinite recently-produced content with minimal ads. They are less inclined to know about old pop culture than people who were shown f***ing Looney Tunes at 3PM primetime.

Women always have been the true architects of human society—their social interactions define what it values, and collectively define the social order—and they respond poorly when their hard work is being destabilized for no reason by idiots.

Believe in the dream: we will apply the word "Arabian" to human beings again. And as for the present use, some people are fixin' to lose their astronomical horse-semen budgets (obviously the main royals will be impossibly wealthy until the end of time, but 4,000 princes is *a lot*)

My cousin is a nuclear physicist who builds reactors and he's started to be iffy about practical fusion use, because the effort involved in the world's craziest engineering problem will always be Herculean, and these passive sources are just cheap as hell.

I read this and my mind couldn't process the sarcastic double-negative for AI and crypto, because that is such an insane reach. I'm on record demanding that GTA VI retail for $99.99 because my wife owns Take Two stock from her stint at 2K, but at least I don't bring the public sector into it.

You've gotta love Oz catching the Hippocratic Bat-signal. I'm serious, I swoon for Action Doctor Mode.

maybe for the last time: if you told me in 2005 that the future mayor of New York was the foreign-born child of a Columbia human-rights professor and an award-winning filmmaker, my rebuttable assumption would have been that the future mayor of New York was a Jew

Changing your child's diaper is psychologically identical to wiping your own ass. Exact same neural pathways. Also, the banal routine feels like a spiraling crisis the moment there is shit anywhere there normally should not be.

The crushing public health pressure has finally cracked them, but kudos where it's due for getting this down. This is $125 less than I was paying for compounded.

Do I in fact have to hand it to him?

As of 72 hours ago, the collection of apparatchiks who form the entity known as "Trump" had the power (or appearance thereof) to overwhelm a determinative number of state election apparatuses, like they have every law firm and media outlet. They sure as hell do not anymore.

The odds that CBP is not vastly outpacing these sexual assault numbers is close to zero, though that's perhaps an uncharitable description of coercive sexual quid pro quos. A gal will do a lot of things to not disappear into a stateless void of human rights violations.

I'll confess I had my doubts about the viability of a trillion-dollar monument to cocaine.

You gotta hand it to Trump: he has gotten this disoriented and demented in full view of the cameras, and I still have never seen him look scared. Whatever is flashing in front of the tiny window out of a very small room, that's what he's meant to be seeing, and he is perfectly confident in that.

"Last night doesn't count because both Confederate capitals were in blue states"

The most annoying thing about the Tapper-senility fixation on here, apart from the fact that what it documents was incredibly bad and sorta doomed America, is the refusal to admit that the book was a post-mortem. He wrote the book after Biden was gone. Like, sources talk more then. It's a thing.

Banh Mi is the first rifled weapon, France invented the baguette but the Vietnamese found what it was for.

I hate that we used up all of the imagery for what is going on five years ago because they are literally jingling keys in front of his face at this point.

The problem is that it looks like Rubio and Vance are the ones doing it, and as best as I can tell their main reservation is having to run the strategy through Hegseth rather than anything to do with mission creep, morality, or the law of war.

I was listening to Hannity talk about how he'd "rather have this ideological battle for the next year" and the desperation in his voice was just incredible. So much "dad just hit mom and we're still all trying to sit there and eat dinner" energy.

fox news chyrons often read like things you can imagine tim robinson screaming in an ill-advised attempt at self-defense.

"I'm horrible at balancing. I can't balance." Not that anyone's impromptu DUI defense ever sounds great, with the sole exception of "I am an American person on American ground."

This costume is frankly kind of a wasted opportunity, but I get that she's cross-pressured after Beetlejuice.

This is pretty anticlimactic, but I guess I would've heard if coyotes are capable of tool use and problem-solving.

Instagram has thrice rejected my submission of a story about the gold letters, and I restarted the app once.

It's legitimately impractical how much my daughter loves me.

Tired: "HSR cannot compete with air travel over transcontinental distances" Wired:

This is definitely peel-away Cricut vinyl, stop saying they just printed it.

Quick neurology Q: can neurologists clearly tell the difference between areas of the brain that have always been dead and areas that just died?

Someone needs to make a supercut of "doubles down after saying wrong word" Trump clips, because this is the best one yet. Fascinating artifact of whatever cocktail of personality disorders he has.

A great joy of the past day has been watching D&T feeling himself this hard (with Jamelle's assist) as a customer and one-time sorta-collaborator.

the united states government acknowledges but does not endorse new york city’s claim on staten island, a strategic ambiguity political scientists refer to as the One New York Policy

Fun fact: California does automatic license renewals when they're booking you for a DWI.

If we can't use the political energy from the attainder of Trump's children to make our billionaire gods bleed, then the Republic does not deserve to survive.

The native name is so evocative that we named a huge-ass conservative-coded truck after it... Why am I having a one-sided argument with amyloid proteins?

for generations, miami has been a haven for those fleeing communist tyranny in south africa

Vance only needs to ride this out for eight weeks until they beg him to make it stop. I trust that Drunk Nixon nuclear protocols are in effect, Mr. Vice President Regent.

we still do not know what kash patel was doing between january 6th, 2021 and january 20th, 2021. what we do know is that whatever it was, it got his badge deactivated and got him locked out of the Pentagon.

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.

Democrats have spent years turning off the Latin vote by treating them as a monolith who care about nothing but immigration raids, so Republicans decided to capitalize on this by uniting all of La Raza into a monolith with brutal, unchecked immigration raids.

Mobsters loved The Godfather because it made them look like American royalty. Mobsters (who were still in the game) fucking *haaaaated* Goodfellas, because it made them look like tacky thugs who kill their friends for money. Which, ya know, accurate.

I think it's pretty clear that every one of these people knows this. They were giving up 40% of the viewership/business to refashion them as instruments of pure power backed by the regime, per the Twitter-to-X model. But that plan also appears to be eating shit.

The ADL will give their blessing to any rich Nazi who throws on some fake body hair.

Again: what cruelty animates this action; even if it were legal, why would you do something this inhumane?

Ya know, there's a distinct lack of solidarity between people who had a rough time in Uganda that makes me very sad. What would Yonatan Netanyahu think?

Let people pivot back from the brink, you idiots! Stop complaining that insane assholes are not four-dimensional objects!
