No statement from Mitch McConnell on the sudden passing of his senate colleague? So much for decorum

Schumer should straight up claim that Mitch McConnell just called him to say he's switching parties to be a Democrat now and when the GOP calls bullshit, offer to get Mitch on the phone so they can hear it from him themselves. "Let's do it. Let's go visit him."

Crossing fingers that the Count Binface campaign will turn out to have been the third season of The Rehearsal all along.

Musk has been tweeting all day, including right around the time this interview was supposed to be taking place lol

You’d think the secret of his success is making some wild shit up and then gradually pushing success toward the goal even if it takes longer than planned but no he just drops the last wild shit and makes up new wild shit and morons can’t get enough of it.

I wonder what the Venn diagram overlap is for people who are both "I won't get into a robot car because it could take me to the cops at any time" and "we should have cameras everywhere to automatically ticket cars that break the speed limit or run a red light". www.mercurynews.com/2026/07/07/w...

You might be tempted to think these latest strikes against Iran are to distract from, like, McConnell's brain-dead state or similar, but it's honestly simpler than that: these strikes are to distract from the obvious fact that we have near-zero influence over what happens in the Middle East anymore.

Begun, the McConnell Deathwatch Has

I would lament the way future society will look back at this time and judge us all collectively as the dumbest fuckers who ever lived but actually, I am pretty sure future society will be even dumber fuckers than we are.

Looks like we’re free to go back to bombing shit.

I'm so disillusioned, I almost don't even care who gets the FIFA Peace Prize next year

Maybe the real infrastructure was all the falling-for-it-yet-again that everyone did along the way.

It was probably a mistake to let the public retail market into private illiquid investments. I get why they thought it was a good idea but now everyone's having a real dog-caught-the-car time. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I recently watched a documentary on the reign and fall of the Shah and boy there were some striking similarities.

Frog put Claude in a harness. "There," he said, "now Claude can no longer delete files." "But Claude can edit the files" said Toad. "That is true," said Frog.

Rather than term-limit Supreme Court justices, every mid-term election we should have the American electorate vote one of them off.

If you don’t want your shit to get stolen, stop leaving it out in the open for years collecting dust.

Mel Brooks has been around for 40% of the US's existence.

Totally gonna get my ESCAPE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN on with this, let's go!

nobody in British politics seems to want to say it but the single biggest driver of their inability to keep a prime minister for any length of time is that Brexit was stupid and ruinous and made everyone’s lives worse

There may be no surer sign of Apple's capitulation to the Republican Party than the new "Temporarily Hide My Location From Specific People Who Can Usually See Me" feature in Find My.

Every single detail of this administration, at every level, is and has been and will be a metaphor for every single other detail of this administration, at every level.

If you cover it in enough fake-ass gold plate, the president will literally suck your dick.

"Meeting participants were split on the path for rates this year, with eight expecting no change, one seeing a cut and nine anticipating at least one hike." lol, sorry grandpa

Honest to god I cannot believe that the list of things we are explicitly going to let Iran have is the exact same as the list of things we went there to stop: theocratic totalitarian regime, ballistic missiles, uranium enrichment program, tens of billions for terrorist proxies…

This new era of unnerving honesty is really quite something. The end must be near.

Marco Rubio keeping a steady face on through this deserves a fucking Oscar for best supporting actor. You can tell Lutnick is struggling.

But this memorandum of understanding slash peace deal is even more so.

They warned me that if I voted for Kamala Harris we’d get a new deal with the Iranian regime worse than the JCPOA. I voted for Kamala, and they were right.

"My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Iran agree to surrender last night. I guess it's pretty serious." "Thank you, Simone." "No problem whatsoever!"

The place I donate blood gives points that you can exchange for gas cards which means I actually know the current exchange rate of blood for oil. Blood is going for 20.618 times an equivalent amount of oil.

Looks Deus Vult the other way after all, muthafuckas. www.washingtonpost.com/religion/202...

I hate to say it, folks, but if the Big Tent wants to survive it probably needs to accept some stone cold murder hobos to fight for it, because the Grift Tribe is taking literally anybody who says they want to help burn the Big Tent.

Unrelated to the article, "Taffy Brodesser-Akner" is some classic Gibson/Sterling zaibatsu-replicant naming, a chromed-out street samurai who turns out to be the runaway heiress of a Merovingian bloodline living in a geosynchronous sex commune built out of the last of the Saturn launch hardware.

Time for some Ladytron in Berkeley!

In the modern age of streaming, the "film at 11" punchline still works because that's the default audio volume the fucking video is going to play at.

My favorite kind of story about this administration, in both its incarnations, is "according to leakers in the organization, there is an active hunt for leakers in the organization".

Higher prices? No problem, the market loves it, that's profit opportunity. Wait a second. Actual demand destruction? No fucking way, sound every alarm! www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

While it is tempting to think this might just be a sham "investigation" to reduce public heat about obvious insider trading, consider also that it might actually be "find out who is making this money and fuck them up until they start paying the vig". Mob rule, always. abcnews.com/US/doj-probi...

It is absolutely astonishing to say with a straight face that our imminent victory objective is defined as getting back to where we started. In any other context that's called "ending up at square one".
