Almost every one of these "cops were disrespected by a fast food worker/barista" stories turns out to be fake or a complete overreaction/misunderstanding and sure enough: it's a drawing of a Tiktok meme called "John Pork is Calling" www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/d...

Was not expecting a Der Fuhrer's Face reference, but I guess I also wasn't expecting the need for an anti-nazi anthem to come out of retirement 80 years later in the first place...

the entire administration is making content for twitter nazis and they are convinced that those twitter nazis are genuinely representative of the vast majority of american sentiment they believe all the election conspiracies and think the country is 80-20 in their favor

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Time is a flat circle.

america is always bad but you have to recognize this as being a couple standard deviations out from median badness at least.

It's illegal for the president to relieve student loan debt. It's completely fine for the president to unilaterally decide to have the head of a foreign nation black bagged on foreign soil.

look at how little effort it takes for someone on the conservative grievance circuit to destroy a life millions of college kids have half assed an assignment at the last minute, you eat the F and move on but the effort to push trans people out of public life will use whatever it can get

wow

if bari weiss had tried to do 9/11 there'd be three towers now

One upside of that Odyssey trailer dropping is discovering that Homer has an IMDb page.

me seeing an article about the 25 Hottest and Most Popular Celebrities: haha who are any of these people? me seeing a screenshot of a horrible post by CeleriusAvignon8888, Based Viscount of the New Bayesian Duchy of Pure Reason: oh it's this fuckin guy again

This song rules and now I kind of want an “alto part of All I Want For Christmas” style video for the background vocal that’s just screeching the high note

Nemesis by Shriekback is one of my favourite tracks of all time www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bMM...

The random detail I’m most interested in from those Vanity Fair screenshots going around is the part where they only use a partial quote to refer to her calling Elon “an ‘avowed ketamine’ user” — really curious what her original word choice was!

Christmas night: "But Santa, you've hardly touched your Zardoz cookies."

I've seen a lot of people talk about how this was false, but it occurs to me that this is actually an accurate reflection of the "FOX distortion dynamic": 1) someone on left (political bloggers, maybe) make nuanced arguments about how US foreign policy contributed to the current environment 1/2

No one will ever sum up Bari Weiss's career more succinctly than "what's the point of standards"

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class.
