I don’t like policing how people spend their money and I’m sure there are people who don’t understand why I willingly spend money on gadgets, but I really don’t understand luxury cars for anybody but the extremely wealthy.

This just isn’t true (and I am not a defender of “both parties are the same” or “I don’t like either party” sentiments)

I’m not sure about Canada but I would bet $100M against the idea of Australians successfully resisting the option to become extremely racist, if I had $100M.

it is extremely funny that RFK both does not believe in the germ theory of disease and is a lab leak truther

Looking at my Twitter archive. I used to be funny.

He’s one of these people like JPII where it’s just baffling to me that anybody likes him for reasons besides “he was a celebrity.”

Speech has never been freer! Not performing for the president is now illegal.

Under Woke 2, one of the numerous fast food chicken companies should run an ad campaign where instead of cows telling you to eat at Chick-fil-A they have LGBT people telling you to eat at (whatever chain runs with this idea)

Let us go then, you and I Where the racist jeans are available to buy Like an actress nude in a commercial

It’s genuinely incredible how many people on the right seem to have completely misunderstood why drunk driving is illegal on its own terms and not just when you hit someone (because the goal is to prevent deaths, not to enact retribution).

part of me wonders if they're using so-called "AI" for targeting data and of course, the machine scraped old news articles and gave Jabo as a target

I support New Year’s resolutions because I fundamentally agree that people can only decide to be better once a year and almost unfailingly give up.

Roy Batty doing the tears in rain speech but for pedophiles

unironically a good idea

I try to ignore AV as much as possible but it has to be said that this idea is profoundly unamerican not just legally but culturally. If there’s one right we all agree on it’s the right to tell the government they’re full of shit. If you don’t have that right you are definitely not fully American!

10M Republican points to the first person to combine this talking point with the old canard about how children should have the right to vote (exercised by their parents, or even their father specifically)

jeremy strong in the springsteen movie looks like they made an oscar bait minions adaptation

Every Ms. Rachel complaint comes from something that barely corresponds to an outline of the human likeness posting a screenshot of her saying how she hopes all people can be safe and happy with an explanation that she’s metaphorically loading Jews onto the trains again

I won't be celebrating my accomplishments this year because it implies human activity is meaningful or even praiseworthy

Has anyone ever written a paper or even like a blog post or anything on why “ableism” gets used in this absurd way online? It’s a weird phenomenon.

Something I’ve been thinking about for weeks is the post from Andy Masley (who I think is pretty good, as AI defenders go) where he completely fails to understand what “a computer cannot be held accountable” means

Discourse about “AI” just gets stupider and stupider by the day; I have really never seen anything like it.

To everyone celebrating in MD-08, Maryland and around the world: Happy Kwanzaa to you and your family!

Merry Christmas pals, and remember: Christ was not turned away from an inn, but rather welcomed into a family home but forced to stay in the lower room with the animals due to overcrowding.

Wishing you and your family peace and joy this Christmas.

If you view the COVID era crime spike as a symptom of a widespread wave of sociopathy acquired in the pandemic, the same wave that perverted politics, the fall of crime back to 2019 levels or lower is encouraging.

There is an ongoing problem with this fight which is that Trump *is* an aberration but the aberration is that an idiot with a TV show and terrible manners got to be the figurehead of the right and not that they’re doing insane gutter racism

Why wait until Holy Thursday for the washing of the feet? I believe a bishop should practice such humility weekly, if not daily, which is why I’ve flown in these twelve young men from Brazil.

So much of Silicon Valley is just about refusing to look into whether anyone has thought about something before

Charles Entertainment Cheese, and his cousin, Charles Entertainment Crackers

I know one of you on this website is this guy and I want you to reply to this so that we can block you

I never understand articles like this. Nobody likes having to actually run a campaign. There’s no story here.

I used to run into Heritage staffers and it’s insane how groyp’d up that place is. They should rename it the Hitler and Heritage Foundation honestly

Nitpick: It’s not any less obviously Nazi, it’s just that Americans refuse to acknowledge people who went to Yale Law School can be Nazis.

best to ever do it

Yes in the sense that these are both just versions of buy now or lose out forever scams

Opening up a hidden compartment in my desk to reveal a giant red button, slamming it, and then it just sends a tweet that says “[cornel west voice] my dear brother robert f kennedy jr”

This is such a perfect encapsulation of the two kinds of conservative gender politics. The first one is Helen Andrews and the second is Leah Libresco-Sergeant.

It’s fascinating how the folks who “study nature” don’t trust nature at all.

calling for the ban all travel from Europe because of a single murderous Voyager who crossed the Atlantic from Portugal is poetry
