Hey @exliontamer.bsky.social look what I got for your birthday

Someone said it looks like a suburban Thai restaurant lol

Fun fact I was all set to title this post "Veblen Bads" but at the last minute I googled it just in case and discovered that the first result for "Veblen Bads" is a Tabs post from 2024 where I already used that title. At least it's finally nine lo'klok. www.todayintabs.com/p/veblen-bad...

Speaking of ratfucking, I never once see this writer’s name without remembering when he publicly deliberately falsely fabricated a sexual assault allegation against someone else.

Hey @grahamformaine.bsky.social file the paperwork. Don’t go out like this, it’s embarrassing.

So what do you do for a living? [First thing I can think of] The dick sucking... [Wants the guy to think I'm blue collar though] factory. I work at the dick sucking factory.

Not a single one of these people is a leftist they are annoying dumb fucks on the computer. Sometimes Tucker Carlson or Rand Paul say things that the left also thinks. They also do not represent the left.

We saw you on Gravatar and liked your vibe

I truly don’t see how this country can go on if we don’t ban online sports betting. This story is stomach-turning.

I will quibble with this — the reason the right doesn't discuss their preponderance of rapists is because they are pro-rape. It would be like mentioning that they have candidates who are Christian.

maybe finally now we can put time and money and angry posts into Sherrod and OH? One seat = one seat, and that one would help a lot more people. We are all so sick of Maine!!

sometimes a news photo is also a Far Side cartoon

it begins

Lmao. No, sir, we’d rather leave the bugmobile at home for this one.

I don’t think the smoking wreckage of the Platner campaign can really claim to speak for any movement anymore. The movement still exists and he should get out of the way and let them get on with picking a replacement.

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

Do they got fedex in hell? governor.ky.gov/attachments/...

I’m honestly kind of surprised that David Brooks went authoritarian without complaint and Bill Kristol ended up shoulder to shoulder with tankies at the barricades. Maybe I shouldn’t be, but I am.

Someone said this might be the first Tabs to actively make them dumber so if you’re struggling to deal with things these days, maybe check it out and shave a few points off the old intelligence quosh

Real ones instantly know who this is

love to see a post like this from anyone who doesn’t follow me

I’m reading Transit of Venus and damn it’s full of bangers like this

I think you mean they were never accused of sexual assault YET, Ken.

“I was wrong but IN THEORY I was right so I was actually right.” Ok, loser. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/my-graham-...

on this note: insane how many people relate to this. the job market is... wild! related: i'm open to contracts, part time work, and full time work! i've done everything from journalism to games to writing for soderbergh. if you need a writer, i'm your guy (and if not, i def know someone great!)

spoke to my good friend, mitch mcconnell, for about 20 minutes today

did these guys have a bet on whoever catches the ball first has to pay for drinks or something

"bright and highly educated people who somehow never learned to actually think"

THE ACKROOMS

Effective Altruism is a cognitive hazard that exists somewhere on a spectrum between prolonged lead exposure and a career in the National Football League. www.todayintabs.com/p/over-lever...

That’s right chaps

Thank god mitch mcconnell isn’t alive to see any of this

If Platner cares at all about his actual policy goals he’ll make a deal with the Maine Dems to drop out if they replace him with Troy Jackson

At least it’s finally negroni season

Graham Platner has one week to drop out so the Maine Dems can replace him on the ballot, and he must do so to salvage any hope of beating Collins and fixing this fucking mess he’s left us in.

Okay, so, here's the playbook: STEP 1: Platner drops out, giving a speech saying that this movement is bigger than him and the moment is too critical for these distractions. He endorses Shenna Bellows or another young-ish Dem. STEP 2: Platner fucks all the way off. STEPS 3-1,000: Repeat Step 2.

I have edited a lot of sexual-assault-accusation articles, and this one easily clears every veracity check: contemporaneous emails with her therapist, a boyfriend who knew, a woman she warned—all before Platner ran for office. Good on Politico for nailing it, and on Jenny Racicot for speaking up.

one lesson here is that sometimes the blackwater guy with the nazi tattoo and the history of saying and doing bad things turns out to be maybe not great. another lesson is that whenever you join a politician's stan army you are playing with fire. don't embarrass yourself!

Really been getting a lot of use out of the 🫩 emoji lately

I got you

Hardly anybody alive today can even remember what it was like to be a steel town girl on a Saturday night. Just my two cents!

I’m too lazy to make this but the bathtub scene from Saltburn with a chyron that says “pausa de hidratacion”

Anyone do this yet
