Ezra feels like he’d be way more on the techbro axis to me.

Amy Coney Barrett has Haitian children and I hope they one day cut her out of their lives entirely.

Also: When you realize that the future you wanted lies in the past, nothing done in the present can truly make you happy, so you want to destroy it all. This is global Neoreaction in a nutshell.

Who'd have thought one of the most anticipated games in the 2026 World Cup would be Cape Verde v Saudi Arabia.

on a sincere level: being a dad rules, kids can be challenging but there simply isn’t anything like raising a little human being and watching them turn into a person in front of you I love my boys very very much and I feel so lucky to have them

I know it's not true, but if you want to conspire to get people to support expanding the field the awesome performances by small counties in the group stage would be a great way to do it.

FWIW the solution to there being any accountability sink with Tesla FSD is to start charging people who kill people while operating vehicles using it with manslaughter.

she’s joining the war on cancer on the side of cancer

This completely misunderstands the role of members of Congress. They're not the surgeons in this hypothetical, they're someone the patient has delegated to make decisions for them.

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting

Do these people think Trump became president by some magic mechanism?

You're not supposed to say this, but conservatives hate HPV vaccines because they think that removing the risk of cervical cancer from sex incentives women to be sluts. It's been a Christian thing since way before RFK Jr. was around, everybody knows what it's about, but you have to pretend not to.

I honestly think growing up where I did (rural area in the Deep South) was a useful inoculation against this tendency. It’s also why my BS meter pings immediately when leftists start romanticizing the community I grew up in.

Easily, my most millennial complaint is that many are simply too young to remember 9.9% unemployment in Q4 2009.

I have over the years talked to probably literally thousands of voters and woo boy

I dunno, Whole Foods. If your food really doesn’t have any sodium in it then I’m not sure it’s actually food.

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

Definitely the face of a reasonable person you should be listening to.

They could never make me hate you, Romelu Lukaku.

the real political correctness is that you can’t go on the news and say that this is hick shit

My apologies to the Reductress, I wasn’t familiar with your game.

The 30 FOR 30 about the Knicks only losing the Trump Game is gonna be amazing.

Like so many, my dad was plagued by PTSD and nightmares after the war. In college he switched his major to language and literature because, as he said, "I needed to get it out of my gut...write it down. This is the way it began for me." Images: Rod Serling 1943 & 1975

When I'm accused of being the one who ate all the leftover chicken fingers out of the fridge

What a guy

We’re gonna need a bigger Third Reconstruction.

I would vote for Platner over Collins if I lived in Maine, but if you want an example of how nominating people like this is toxic, people defending him with “thinking DV is bad is too woke” is a great example.

I would note this same pollster has rabid antisemite James Fishback at 35% in Republican primary for Florida Governor, so you may want to take these numbers with a grain of salt.

Theres no doibt in my mind that a good chunk of the success Mamdani is having is due to the bureaucrats champing at the bit to do good work that solves issues they‘ve been frustrated about for a long time

Very cool paper: In USMA cohorts with more cadets from free states, fewer cadets from slave states joined the Confederacy. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Joe Biden was regularly attacked for refusing to distance himself from his son and continuing to love him through very bad circumstances. That unconditional love was presumably a very big reason why his son made it through and appears to be doing well. I’m appreciative of the example Joe set for us.

*taps earpiece* I'm told that giving a shit about violence against women is a psyop and bourgeois

And I'm sorry I'm not convinced Dems abandoning Planter means they lose men forevermore considering many American dads look upon a blue Australian talking dog as a role model.

All of this really really sucks, and makes me wish I’d had more resources 8 years ago to run more aggressive local candidate recruitment work in Maine.

Turns out this post was somehow unfair to Christine O’Donnell.

Just … the audacity you must have to just think no one is going to find out about your Nazi Chest Tattoo when you’re running for the United States Senate. Imposter Syndrome is wasted on the wrong people.

Stuff like this is one of the few hopeful points in an otherwise dark time.

Here's the thing: No

I understand why some would find this scary, but it’s where I’ve been at for years.

The players have not gone on strike since 1995. They were locked out in 2021 and will be locked out in 2026. I think you're trying in good faith, I do, but if you sincerely use "strike" and "lockout" interchangeably, you're just wrong, and part of the problem.

Legislative veto lovers unite

these reactionaries are happy to take the taxes that black families pay to maintain these colleges and universities. they just don't want those institutions to have black students.

Too few of you realize takes about AI water usage are vice signaling. They advertise that the speaker is an unprincipled person who is willing to say anything to further their hatred of AI. That it's stupid and fake is the point.

With the best of intentions, I could not tell you ab novo that a “global editorial director” “runs” WIRED. I would assume it was a publishing-side midlevel position

I still think these two paragraphs from Ganz are the most important contemporary political writing

A2/C2. I think it’s probably negative on net, but not as negative as the people who complain about it the most loudly think.

I have a feeling that the Progressive consultants have finally started paying attention to the Reconstruction talk On Here because AOC and Jeffries both using this framing in the same week feels a bit on the nose (laudatory)
