Given the degree to which Trump is selling out the US to Russia and other foreign powers, seems that whole "president must be a native-born citizen" clause of the Constitution should be reconsidered...

I heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord, But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this, The fourth, the fifth, The minor chord, the major lift, The baffled king composing hallelujah.

Being named Sean statistically increases your chances of being an NFL head coach by a significant margin.

Damn it, I was promised that the end of the world would involve zombies, invasions by space aliens, or kaiju. This whole "death by rampant ignorance and boneheaded stupidity" deal is not on.

If nothing else, the Epstein emails have revealed the fact that the very rich don't get that way through education, intelligence, or hard work. Every one of them is more ignorant, stupider, and lazier than any welfare recipient alive.

Get white men to understand they have an identity and have done nothing but talk to us about their identities and how to politically and culturally accommodate their identities for all of history challenge: impossible

"Don't care about anyone who isn't like you," said no progressive ever.

Also, I would like to know how to get Amazon and Audible to stop recommending Harry Potter crap to me. How do I put a block on everything written by that evil TERF?

I would like to add that if there is one movie I would like all aspiring evil geniuses to watch, it's Megamind.

So, honestly, what's the endgame with AI? Assume for a minute that all the claims about it are absolutely correct--that it will be able to replace human workers at scale, create all art and entertainment, and essentially eliminate the need for human labor. (This is BS, but humor me.) THEN WHAT?!

Inside the news are two Michael Wolves:

Look, I know there are much more important problems in the world right now, but a process that has completed has not "been ran," it has "been run." Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I'm in favor of UBI, but this is a profound misunderstanding of what copyright protects. Copyright doesn't protect ideas; it protects a specific expression of an idea and the right to reproduce that expression.

I mean, I wouldn't consider taking down (and out) every Democratic man in Congress to be a bad outcome. It's the ultimate in "primary the shit out of them," only quicker.

"This could take down Democrats, too." I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office. Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

For no particular reason (okay, yes, for several particular reasons), I would like to point out that the average age of women at first marriage in the US during the 1800s was 20-22.

I am giving y'all so much side eye. How did you not tell me there is a new Julia Spencer Fleming book in the Clare Ferguson/Russ Van Alstyne series? I've been waiting for YEARS AND YEARS.

Which brings us back to the main point; you're not fixing the duopoly without seizing control of one party first, because you're not rewriting the law without that dominance. Given there's only one seizable party, that's the play. Everything else is...nothing really. It comes to nothing.

Always important to remember that Bond's creator, Ian Fleming, also wrote Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. This is not hyper-reality fiction here, folks.

Always remember, every accusation is a confession.

Money? You want money? I want you to grow a goddamn spine and not cave to Rs. I want food and healthcare for anyone who needs it. Fuck your money request.

Same in California.

By giving up.

You gotta hand it to the Dems. Once again, they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

A ME rica First It's not an accident, folks

He won more than 50% in a field with 3 candidates. This man has the mandatiest mandate that ever mandated.

I still remember all the “Your fears are dumb and it’ll never come to that because the Constitution blah blah.” Well, here we are, motherfuckers. I told you none of them read it.

I know 10yos who are better at makeup than this.

And the fact that the expression is "wrong" for the prompt just further illustrates genAI's limitations. GenAI doesn't understand emotions or human expressions. It just generates images that "get close to" what it's been trained on. If this was the best Grok could do? Oof.

I have to admit I sympathize a teeny bit with falling asleep in meetings...

Just remember, the "powers that be" not only WANT Mamdani to fail, they will be doing everything in their power to achieve that end. We must have this man's back!

See, we CAN have nice things!

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

I would like to propose legislation requiring all recurring transactions (donations, subscriptions, etc.) to include a comment that provides cancellation instructions. This comment brought to you by the $25 recurring donation I never authorized but couldn't cancel except by stop payment

When I think of Dick Cheney, I think, "Dick!"

Do you know a hawk from a handsaw when the wind is southerly?

That was the LOST of World Series. Great series, bad ending.

Vlad!!!!!

If the Dodgers win this (heaven forfend), Yamamoto is the MVP.

Also, to translate Cuomo, diversity is a weakness because white people are racist assholes.

I apologize to all San Diegans for having brought Germany's weather home with me. (It was sunny and in the 80s when we got back Wed afternoon. This morning, it's 57 and drizzling which is...pretty close to what Munich was the day we left.)

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670 Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy? You’re doing their dirty work.

Well, she did stick with a radical left skin tone and gender

in general you have to be completely disassociating to characterize anything about the Harris campaign as "radical left"; they clung so tightly to the center that for every day for a month Axios and Politico was running stories about how she was disavowing her previous positions on bolder policies

My Westminster Confession of Faith Puritan Evangelical MIL, who's 93 and has fairly advanced dementia, will still tell you with absolute conviction that Catholics are not Christians.

Can we acknowledge, though, that the IRA initialism is part of the problem? Those 3 letters already have two deeply ingrained meanings to Americans, so it's absolutely unsurprising that most people didn't know about the third.

It already takes an hour for my dishwasher to complete a cycle. Anyone who thinks I'm buying a robot to take another 3 hours to load it is out of their damn mind

There is no such thing as a good billionaire. The sooner everyone internalizes that, and votes for policy accordingly, the better.
