A foundational moment is when Tucker Carlson spoke at CPAC in like 2008 or 2009 and said conservatives need their own New York Times. He got booed, but he started The Daily Caller and hired a bunch of actual reporters to try and do the thing. Anyway, now Tucker's doing videos on demonic possession

Quite a few conservative outlets were started with the genuine belief that they could just "do the news" without also being annoying libs, but they find out that 1) it's hard and expensive, 2) their audience doesn't reward them for it, and 3) the incentives bend them ever toward cheap clownishness.

My nephew said something profound yesterday - "Line cooks eat macaroni". Meaning, people who work hard to do a thing, often don't get to enjoy the thing. My corollary is "If you've ever hung lights, you'll never see a well-lit play again".

The psychosis that some people get from getting sycophantic feedback from AI is basically what has been happening to the very rich for generations. instead of an oracle server rack telling them they're geniuses who have never been wrong, they have regular sycophants and an analyst team from McKinsey

Periodic reminder that Teapot Dome, the worst scandal in American history prior to Watergate, involved $9 million changing hands. That’s adjusted for inflation. This story by itself is 55500% bigger than Teapot Dome. That’s not a typo.

We should be two “D&D Honor Among Thieves” sequels deep.

it is your god given right as a 22 year old to seethe about having to cook for yourself and do your laundry and fight with your roommate about cleaning duties, just as it is mine as a 40-something year old to cackle hysterically at your complaints

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

I live in Wisconsin. a $28 mixed drink is spitting in the face of god

It's a coup against the people of the United States and always has been. Their ultimate goal is to enslave us

Any "leftist" taking MTG's side over AOC's is either an op or the biggest mark at the carnival

Now's the time to start screenshotting all the "you'll have to use it eventually" takes by every "enlightened realist"

The multi-enshittiverse

If no one ends up going to jail for the USAID stuff then our entire system of “going to jail” is wrong

The Ethicist | My mail order trad wife found my Grindr account and is threatening to tell my right-wing podcast’s sponsors about it. Should I ask ICE to deport her?

Not caring about getting the last word and being willing to let people be wrong are superpowers.

They think you're stupid.

tim cook is like 90% responsible for why the Internet sucks so much shit now (Sex-Negative Appification) so it is my sincere hope he is retiring due to accidentally swallowing a bag full of the scarabs that eat you from the inside from the 90s the mummy

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

here come old laptop he come bootin up slowly he got broken touchpad he need one more update he got no space on this pc one thing i can tell you its got no warranty

mRNA technology may be THE most underrated and unfairly scrutinized (fuck you COVID antivax crew) medical breakthrough in my lifetime. Like... The things this is already showing it can do in the last 5-7 years is incredible.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)

ICE detaining doctors is absurd. Let me explain something: foreign-trained doctors get trained and practice in places where American medical graduates often do not want to go. They are not taking jobs from anybody. They go to undesirable locations and take undesirable jobs.

on a scale of 1 to 100, my support for democracy and protecting everyone's right to vote is 99. but i admit it used to be 100 before reading some of your tweets

"Ooh remember when Legless Jackie 'Jacks' Jackson hit a home run against the Hixville Nobodies in 1956? Well that was actually the most important thing that ever happened. 400 years from now, people will yearn to relive your treasured childhood memory. And they will, and it'll be boring as shit."

Those of us with object permanence remember that women, esp WOC, suffered most of the job losses of the last 5 years while overall unemployment remained low. This isn't the market embracing equity- this is women getting back jobs they never should have lost, and being most of who there is to hire.

Again, I listened to this show. In this very program Tucker says he'd vote for Trump right now.

"All people should go back to the land where their ancestors lived" is in fact a deeply reactionary political sentiment, no matter how much you may try to dress it up as progressive and liberatory.

disturbing uptick in "we post tweets and talk about them." servile behavior tbh. bluesky is not the Greek chorus for the main character action of twitter, that's loser thinking, have some pride. twitter is dead. post bangers. thank you

Red Lobster went bankrupt because of private equity, not shrimp.

<I’m wheeled into the Pitt> Santos: male, 36, at happy hour, now saying “tummy feel crazy” Al-Hashimi: 47% of men’s bodies reject modern IPAs. They’re too hoppy now Robi: the silent killer. Get him to surgery McKay <alone now, staring straight at camera>: I am the same type of communist as you

Oh so now copyright matters.

People born today will never understand how aggressive some dudes were in the 2000s about needing to eat bacon to feel masculine. They'd make it their entire lifestyle & this was just one of the default types of guys that you'd encounter. Running into a "bacon guy" was just a normal part of life.

The antisemitic influencers who popularized the term “J-pilled” know exactly what it means. www.mediamatters.org/nick-fuentes...

The contradiction between what Wurman put in his scholarly writing, versus what he put in a court document, where he is under penalties of perjury, is enough, IMO, to initiate tenure review at any self-respecting academic institution.

by far the worst tendency on this platform is its tendency to interpret a description of something that happened or is happening as an endorsement of that thing I have been reading Mark on conversion therapy cases for years and he has always been very clear about how awful it is

"Israel" doesn't start with a J.

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.) But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.

This might actually be the new dumbest shit I have ever read in my life.

Trump has potentially ended free maritime trade, a literally world-changing development that, if it lasts, may do more damage than anything else he has done so far What a phenomenally, historically evil and incompetent failure The Republican Party is a party of failure, defeat, and idiocy

I mean “I am a giant racist coward” is a pretty short explanation

Oh, so they've also been literally stealing from the future to prop up the past, cool cool cool cool

- laundered the reputations of accused rapist Andrew Tate, Nazi sympathizer Nick Fuentes, and Vladimir Putin - said that immigrants make the US “poorer and dirtier” - was literally FIRED from Fox News for being too racist So…no. You don’t “have to hand it to him.” For literally any reason.

Just to be clear, Tucker Carlson has: - repeatedly advocated for the racist Great Replacement Theory - called Iraqis “semi literate primitive monkeys” - said it’s ok for 27-year-olds to marry 16-year-olds - framed trans people as inherently violent - defended a man who killed a BLM protester
