trump spent thanksgiving 2017 with epstein LOL fuck it keep the government open this is tremendous content

I DISAVOW, I DISAVOW

Imagine folding to trump and *then* releasing the emails where Epstein calls Trump a pedophile. Bizarre party

"...Mr. Epstein flatly asserted that Mr. Trump 'knew about the girls,' many of whom were later found by investigators to have been underage. In another, Mr. Epstein pondered how to address questions from the news media about their relationship as Mr. Trump was becoming a national political figure."

Weird problem I’ve run into in the classroom that I haven’t encountered much before; I have students struggling with the concept of a fictional world that is partially different from our own. We’re reading a story about a robot, and I keep having these interactions:

So at what point do we say that Palantir’s CEO seems to have had some kind of psychotic break from reality

now i'm wondering if having all the catholics quote the king james bible, own king james bibles, give each other king james bibles, was also a netflix note lol

it's time for a Millennium Era of James Bond movies, where each time a new movie drops, Casino Royale + 0-8 other completely inexplicable entries are selected as in-continuity for that new continuity.

RIP legendary Japanese actor Tatsuya Nakadai. Star of Kurosawa's Kagemusha, Ran, many other classics. He was 92. news.yahoo.co.jp/pickup/6558551

this is literally never not accurate

More National Book Award-winning writers need to spend the later portion of their careers picking one billionaire and just absolutely going to town.

Trying to explain how Ambrosia Sky is Powerwash Simulator meets Donkey Kong Bananza but about being wistful for a home you can't go back to and leaving the midwest and grief for lost people & endeavors alike and also there's a grapple hook

people are upset on the other website because i did not like the good place finale where they fix heaven by turning it into a cosmic suicide machine

the atlantic grade inflation article starting off with a lacrosse guy's lamentations is absolutely killer lol

A profane, action-packed trip back in time to Camelot, MEDIEVAL is a genuinely charming-ass book from THE DEVIL THAT WEARS MY FACE artist @alexcormack.bsky.social and my pal @neilkleid.bsky.social! Be sure to get your digital copy on Comixology TOMORROW!

sometimes i feel like the republican party is a big tornado that is coming to kill me. and the democratic party is the rickety shed that i'm hiding in. and i say "we should really fix this shed, because it's not doing much." and people say "what? why aren't you criticizing the tornado instead?!"

stop saying great britain is "pedophile island" they spell it paedophile over there

younger generations have always dreamed to be in debt until the day they die

This is nonsense. People are asking Democrats to not fold on an issue that takes away basic, essential needs. That's not "fighting each other". That's telling their Rep to actually REPRESENT them. Instead, multiple Dems gave in for nothing and have shown absolutely no interest in that bigger fight.

there are piss christs everywhere for those with the eyes to see

I was reading a popular writer on substack the other day, and they said that they asked ChatGPT to list out the items in a spreadsheet that matched a specific year. When I asked why they would do that instead of opening the spreadsheet, they replied that there was a lot of data.

I can’t believe the senate parliamentarian did this. I can’t believe Joe Manchin did this. I can’t believe the Bernie Bros did this — the Democratic Party is doing villain of the week shit like a 1980s detective show to cover their policy of surrender and their fealty to the billionaire class.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

You can email PA Senator Fetterman via his Contact page, since he is not currently accepting phone messages: www.fetterman.senate.gov/contact/

would like to apologize for the Bummer Doomer Posting last night, as I only realized at like 4AM that I, once again, was spiraling due to accidentally skipping dinner lol. I mean everything IS terrible, but it's when I skip a meal I start Posting that way

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

So every freelancer you know is going to lose their insurance or be bankrupted by premiums because Schumer is an invertebrate

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

A month of American suffering, a massive win for authoritarian party, and the prize Senate Democrats won in the end is that instead of having 1 signature accomplishment of 21st century legislation, they can knock the ticker back down to 0.

People are going to die and it will be these democrats’ fault.

My employer stopped providing healthcare last year, and this year my income dropped significantly, so I think I might just not have health insurance next year lol. Lol.

votes not over but enough democrats have voted "yes" that it is, functionally, over. everything is pointless. but i'm excited to make a sign that says something like "healthcare is good" and go to a rally!!!! better things are so possible!!!!!! just one more protest, just one more no kings rally,

If you think the deal "prevents further harm," you are ignoring everything but immediate harm. The deal results in greater harm to more people than continuing the shut down, just over a longer period of time.

Call your senators. I don’t care if they’re Republicans, or if a deal has already been reached. Call them anyway, and let them know exactly what you think of what’s happening. Don’t give them a moment’s peace to forget the blood on their hands. (202) 224-3121

Yeah, why bother shutting it down if this is your exit strategy? Trump was losing. He looked awful, slashing food stamps for the sake of it while building that stupid ballroom for his Great Gatsby parties. And now the Dems just hand him a win. Fucking pathetic even for them.

Resign.

They're going to do it. It was all pointless. Trump is increasingly unpopular, the democrats just had a huge win on election night, they've won zero concessions, as holidays approach pressure would only increase to make concessions-- and they're just giving up.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Overheard at Volcel house, visitor in that kind of accent americans get when they study abroad in Oxford for a few years: "and he showed up at the KAROAKE bar after his wedding?! have you ever seen that before?? I just don't think it's done!"

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion
