all the bread looks like gator hide, that pulled pork looks like a pork parasite sloppy joe. just take photos of the food you bozos this is genuinely unsettling

this sucks, but also know that Channing Crowder is absolutely going to look at Ryan on the podcast, ignore every warning sign, and yell HOW YOU GET FIRED IN THE MIDDLE OF A SHOW, RC????

giving economic advice like

am i basically paycheck to paycheck on a single person who lives alone income? yep. have the current conditions kept me in a wage freeze for a year & a half? mmmhmm. but also fuck off if you’re doing this “treatlerite” discourse shit; it’s the avocado toast analogy of today —

Been through a handful of Army Leader Professional Development trainings which could have been titled "why we shouldn't invade Iran" which largely consisted of someone slapping this map on a PowerPoint slide and pointing out that Iran has three times the land and twice the population of Iraq.

Trea turner did that to make up for the fielding

The Odyssey is such a hit that apparently the author has already churned out a prequel called “The Iliad”? Typical Hollywood.

Meta is pure evil, in case this somehow hasn’t occurred to you yet

This is less about being anti data analysis and more about the way that the flippant attitudes of the people who deliver their analyses can be broadly alienating to people with qualitative experiences that don't match their findings. Their desire is to scold and feel superior, not to educate.

No no it’s perfectly fine that millions of people in the US are in debt for going to school and are underemployed and are downwardly mobile. It’s fine that medical and credit card debt and car loans keep going up. It’s fine that more and more of are wages are captured by capitalists and that

It's crazy how much sex trafficking there was during "Capitalist Shock Therapy". Like however much you're imagining, you're not imagining enough. Where do you think the first crop of Jeffrey Epstein's victims came from? Hundreds of thousands of children had their futures robbed from them.

alcoholic trying to get sober after a relapse tells Google's "Health Coach" about it. it tells them to drink every hour and messages them to make sure they're drinking as soon as they wake up.

The funny thing is, the chuds hate this version of the Odyssey because Nolan cast trans and non-white actors but if they actually were media literate, they'd hate this version of the Odyssey because it adopts their civilizational frame and then violently rejects *them* and their ideology.

Tbf, this was a core thematic element of the Iliad. The Earth shakes, and the rivers revolt against Achilles's slaughter of the Trojans at the end of the poem, and Homer continuously reinforces that the deaths leave homes cold and empty. It's not exactly a ringing endorsement of war.

1996: can't use the internet without your phone 2010: the internet stretches before you like the vast expanse of a new frontier. You dance through it, unhindered. Unburdened. You have never heard of 2-factor authentication. 2026: can't use the internet without your phone

I mean the reason this is so pernicious is that lying like this to an interview subject gives them in the untenable choice of either accepting the dishonest factual premise of the question or arguing over the facts (which accepts the false premise that what you said was objectionable if accurate)

Tapper is being insanely dishonest with his audience in characterizing El-Sayed's comments like this. It wasnt a public statement, it was a surreptitious recording of an off the cuff internal campaign discussion and ripped out of context.

btw, even if you’re a normie-lib who detests dsa & communists, they don’t fucking care lol no amount of u.s. or ukraine flag in handle matters here either; you’re seen in the same light as hasan piker & the far right would still call you maoist even if hasan didn’t exist for disagreeing with them

This article also confirms that at least 8 different agencies in the State Department, USAID and other humanitarian departments sent Blinken reports on non-compliance with international law from Israel and Blinken did his absolute best to doctor his report to Congress in order to avoid the obvious.

Interestingly though, this is the first ever article to confirm that Biden's "red line" statement on Rafah was unplanned, he didn't tell anyone in the WH beforehand, and that he did not intend to enforce it in the way he initially articulated it. He ended up immediately re-authorizing 500lbs bombs.

$100 to any reporter who asks him, "so you're saying Capitol Police should've shot dead everyone who breached the Capitol on January 6?"

Never Trump conservatives have been full blooded supporters of the GOP's racism, bigotry and fascism for their entire lives until Trump tore away the fig leaf of deniability they always relied on for cover in polite society when Trump is replaced by a more cautious Nazi, they will revert

In February, USA Rugby banned trans women from all levels of one of the world’s most inclusive sports. What happened next was telling. Across the country, teams refused to comply. The story of the Baltimore Ferals, who are pushing back: www.thebanner.com/sports/rugby...

NEW YORK (AP) — Judge says Paramount and Warner must halt merger for at least two weeks, granting states' request.

Chris Nolan, you can't keep getting away with this.

This one is amazing too

The dynamic where it is impossible to take credit for quantitative improvements in anything because it's seen as disrespectful or insulting to the exceptions has already made criminal justice reform impossible and it's going to do the same for economic policymaking too.

yo what in the actual fuck. everything about this story is horrifying

The individual spheres are always going in a straight line. 😊 IG: budolddesk

with the world cup complete, soccer players everywhere march back to their chambers and wait to be called upon in four years time

Chris Evans showing up in Doomsday

“Obama was opposed to gay marriage, give it time, don’t seek perfection on trans issues from Dems.” Yeah, but gay marriage was a new right LGBT people were seeking. Sports, bathrooms, and IDs are something trans people have had for decades. Going BACKWARDS Is the opposite of the Obama comparison.

Channing Tatum will be reprising his role as Captain Olimar in Avengers: Doomsday. Tickets on sale now.

Leftist: okay we listened and got organized Dem establishment: suck on this $50 million from aipac

The difference between the standard liberal Dem suggestion of “hey you idiots, get organized if you want good things” and Mamdani’s “here, let me help you to organize to get good things” cannot be understated.

Just to show how grotesquely out of balance everything is, consider that the median net worth in the US is just under $200K vs his $270 Billion net worth. So this is the equivalent of a normal person spending $60.

I suspect Flock is less a new tool that lets cop stalk domestic partners than one of many tools cops use to do this and just the first one that happens to log their misbehavior. bsky.app/profile/jeni...

kinda coming around on the Flock cameras having a surprising benefit by acting as a honeypot to expose officer misconduct in a way that actually frequently leads to them getting fired/arrested.

This video of a woman telling an anti-abortion asshole to, "Shut the fuck up" is exactly what I needed to see on a Monday morning

Both FIFA and Spain cropped or photoshopped Donald Trump out of their official celebratory World Cup photo. #WorldCup #Spain

for lifetime "former republicans" calling leftists unamerican is just a habitual pattern they comfortably fall back into like making a cup of chamomile tea before bed

I do think Kirk is a revealing case of how detached the right wing’s X-driven unreality has become from actual reality. On X, Kirk was borderline deified. In reality very few people going about their everyday lives knew who he was.

Remember when Odysseus meets Achilles in Hades and praises his death and Achilles is like "I was a moron Odysseus, Odysseus I was a fool, I should better have been a hired hand, it wasn't worth it Odysseus" lol. The homeric epic itself is critical of glorious death in battle!

The archaic greeks were not strangers, and that's why the classics interest us. If you're looking for amoral and emotionally curtailed (complimentary) warrior brutes in a society glamourising this, you won't find them there. You won't even really find them in Conan the barbarian.

Here's my honest to god all-encompassing theory of what went wrong with America: you have utterly disinternalised how important civilian-intelligentsia relationships are, how having a healthy and active class of Civically Minded Nerds is a prerequisite for a functioning democracy.
