the original devourer of the Girl Dinner was of course the noble Ploughman but some of you aren’t ready to have that conversation

I am completely convinced at this point that vibecession discourse is a cipher for discussions about dual income households

Roy Cooper offers a compelling lesson to Democrats: if you run as a mild-mannered moderate against an absolutely insane person in a state that’s rapidly transitioning from red to blue, you can win an election

In fairness, internals are usually pretty biased towards the candidate who commissioned them. I'm only pointing this out because it annoys me that people seem to think they’re more likely to be accurate. I think AES is going to win and I also hope he does.

The best part of the Mamdani Netanyahu discourse is that if you read what he said it’s clear there’s no chance he will actually arrest Netanyahu because he has no authority to do so and isn’t interested in doing it anyway

People get mad because there are a lot of self-identified liberals who don’t! Unfortunately, they’re not well represented in the media.

like, I know people get mad when you say liberals prefer fascists to leftists but they keep saying it

Really really enjoyed this interview with Mamdani - as always, a masterclass in communication. His answer on creating a big tent party is both excellent and low key savage. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/18/m...

This is one of the worst ideas I have ever heard of

this is profoundly insulting to the concept of literacy

I would love to go back to 2015 and tell the Catholic MAGA crowd that this is who they’re aligned with in 2026

not the point at all, but one of the few measures of real technological progress over the last decade is the fact that you can now charge your laptop, phone, vape, sex toy, and chainsaw with the same cable

Qwen on my laptop is pretty good for the annoying maintenance tasks I need to do on some of my larger personal projects

When your rich aunt dies

great idea tbh

We need a term for the rhetorical practice of inventing a theoretical marginalized person who would be harmed by a broadly-beneficial policy that you dislike because it would inconvenience you.

BISHOP BARRON: I find it deeply disturbing that Mayor Mamdani would choose to visit the imprisoned and I’m troubled by his hatred of normal, Christian Americans.

Can I be honest? It seems fine to me to be yelling at Canada over the wildfire smoke.

having an ai generated "clean coal" mascot is one of those things that makes the The Boys, despite being the most on the nose satire of all time, feels like its some how still too subtle

gonna start talking like this to my boss

This isn’t a conspiracy theory dawg

This is one of the weirdest things people do, particularly because it so often turns out to just be explained by black people leaning older than the rest of the Democratic electorate.

This stuff is really so disgusting

Hochul pulling her congestion pricing move on data centers and getting Trump to immediately have a meltdown is so cool.

people who talk about traitors and all that always seemed a bit loony to me, but if youre committed to calling things what they are, you have to conclude that musk, thiel, this crew theyve put together, these people have all committed base criminal acts that are death penalty eligible? it's very odd

This may be a surprise but I’m strongly in favor of making this coin legal as soon as possible

Probably the best thing a tech company has done for me in the past five years is Apple adding the feature to iOS that silently answers unknown callers and asks them for their name and why they’re calling and then shows it to me when it rings.

They get their own department now? This may get me canceled but things have gone too far.

Not the point here but please, please. “Shutdown” is a noun. Doing this overnight allowed them to shut down the TV screens while avoiding public scrutiny.

An economics book club in southern California decides to do some applied research in the film industry.

the food safety stuff is another reminder that a large, huge, gigantic part of being a republican is going “lmao why are we spending money to prevent horrifying disasters from happening if they never happen 🤪”

gofund.me/ca6fb9ca9 Hey: this creature and her owner are really dear to me. I will hold you in high esteem forever if you help them deal with these medical expenses/issues. Irma is an incredible being with a generous heart, and so is her owner, and they deserve many more years together.

It’s so cool that @anthropic.com thinks giving this guy infinite amounts of money is a good idea.

Now I have complete information: Cars have windows and can move. Houses have windows and can't move. So it's not the windows that make the cars go, it's actually something else entirely. Let me confirm: 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵(cars powered by windows) ⎿ 𝙰𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚍 𝚋𝚢 𝚊𝚞𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚘𝚍𝚎 𝚌𝚕𝚊𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚏𝚒𝚎𝚛 Confirmed: Something els

This is a good point. I like the social benefit of public ownership of AI companies, but not the idea that they’re disproportionately favored by government interests. What if we put all the other companies of any kind into a big government-run fund so that it would be about the economy as a whole?

It’s so cool that every accusation is a confession is going to include Russiagate now

having a chuckle thinking about apple extracting gold from its $10B wasted boondoggle project vs Zuck lighting more than 80 billion on fire to build the metaverse and getting bupkis

I am going to keep beating this drum over and over but what is happening right now is not “extremists” taking over the Democrats, it’s that the wing that calls itself the center is wildly right-wing particularly on Israel and is being replaced by people who are on the center left

all the media pandering about senate comity and legacy are going to be undermined by trump saying something like "at first he was very nasty to me but then he learned to do what he was told"

They could have won 💔

Okay, let's talk about this, because I don't think it's quite what the headline implies. If you read the piece, this regrettable comment arose during a conversation with a Black activist about Black liberation. Not like he was bitching with other white leftists. 🧵

radicalized by DEI pilot (cool lesbian pilot giving the plane the smoothest landing of all time in difficult weather)

I'm just posting this screenshot in the vain hope it will stop some of you from embarrassing yourselves

it remains fascinating that you keep hearing from manosphere types that women need to stop going to college in order to get married doesn't seem like that's the issue 🤔

Currently experiencing one of the craziest thunderstorms I have ever seen, possibly the craziest

When someone tells you it has always been this bad, the correct response is to point out that the Voting Rights Act passed with 98 votes in the Senate in 2006 and its main sponsor was a Republican who worked with the ACLU to build a comprehensive record in defense of its most “controversial” parts

this is the funniest argument ever, honestly. no one even wanted her to run a *good* campaign. we asked that she not eviscerate herself unnecessarily. uncommitted would have settled for one palestinian saying platitudes about peace. that was a bridge too far

This is another example I fear of the need for “neutrality” completely neutering a message. The rule of law is under attack by something very specific, the neo-confederates in the GOP and their legal arm, the Federalist Society. Refusing to say so just renders this pointless.
