For the first time in a long time, Israel is losing the optics battle here because they've successfully limited anyone from seeing the other side's reality for so long, and the average person can only see so many videos of emaciated, legless children without catching a bad case of human empathy.

[guy who's learning to temper his expectations]: realease an Epstein file!

So “states’ rights” only apply when the right wants to keep women from reproductive health care. If the right wants the national guard to invade a city, states’ rights don’t matter.

Matthew 15:29-31: And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them after verifying their citizenship status.

Fortunately there's only 3 more years of rapidly escalating fascism before there's a peaceful exchange of power

one thing that is true for everyone reading this: unless something changes dramatically the number of people who agree with you on what basic facts constitute "reality" will shrink every year for the rest of your life

BUCK: welcome to Monday Night Football going out across the fractured and shattered united states. we'd especially like to welcome our newest viewers from the greater Omaha Demilitarized Zone who are joining us courtesy of the warlord Lord Bones, the Water Prophet. AIKMAN: Tremendous warlord, Joe.

To honor the free speech warrior we will attack anyone who speaks negatively about him

Interesting hypothetical! If someone were to say "Stoning Sally Jenkins to death is God's Perfect Law" would she find that distinct from "Sally Jenkins should be stoned to death"? Would that be interesting or civil? I certainly don't think so, but then again, I don't work at the Atlantic!

"we have a left wing terrorist problem" said the person from the hometown of Timothy McVeigh

The time has come to get medieval on the asses of oppression

i believe i am the first person in history to think damn im spending all my time reading and exercising and doing creative hobbies i should make more time for video games

This happened during Trump's first term, but I believe under Pete Hegseth we are about to enter a new golden age of the SEALs being told "your mission, should you choose to accept it: take these amphetamines, fall out of a helicopter, and drown."

Not the DOJ posting a screenshot where you can see the battery... AND it's in airplane mode 🤦‍♂️

WTF is that?

High-tech capitalists: "ignore real environmental doom... here's this other doom we made up which requires more capitalism"

you can't get deals anymore like you used to be able to because everything is owned by a company rather than "some guy" and companies don't work like that. companies bought out all the guys. which is hard for me because i was raised to seek deals at the expense of all else

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

Pink Floyd if they were trans men who got a big one installed: "I have become comfortably hung"

A couple of billionaires spent a bunch of money on think tanks and propaganda networks to confuse people, separate them from reality, and make them hate each other.

But he made up for it in enthusiasm

i cant believe a country that has spent decades measuring success purely by the accumulation of material wealth has lost its moral compass

Whether it's conservatives assassinating State Senators in Minnesota or liberals refusing to sell Alan Dershowitz pierogis in Martha's Vineyard, both sides have taken incivility to an extreme.

my friend owns a bar near the university and he told me that fifteen years ago he would easily clear $1000 profit a night, every night. now he's lucky to make $400. kids just don't drink like they used to, which is of course healthy, but has anything replaced bars? large, frictional social spaces?
