Basically all US policy is at this point about indulging Trump’s irrational obsessions, petty grudges, and corrupt grifts, and then taking secondary and tertiary measures to mask the consequences of those policies.

Back in the day, when a prominent NBA player/coach was in trouble for gambling, they didn’t get arrested by the FBI. They just had to go play baseball for a few months We used to be a proper country

DROP THE NET POPE LEO

Jim Croce and Pat Croce not being related is fucking unreal

Is the NBA slow roast cooked until it falls off the bone because of the quality of the product and free agency? Yes. Has gambling been the equivalent of tossing it on a skillet to get it a nice crust? Yes. Does Chauncey doing the coolest gambling crime - Mafia poker - make it slightly better? Yes.

They're lining up in the I formation like space Knute Rockne is about to invent the astro forward pasz

Unsolicited SNL Takes: - Bennett and Mooney are probably the most underappreciated cast members ever - Kate McKinnon had one single bit that was annoying and kind of robbed Aidy Bryant and Cecily Strong who were much funnier - There were some all time dud players in the cast last season

As embarrassing for NYT as any hand wringing passive voice Trump coverage

Uh... INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS?

Yeah, fuck the cattle ranchers!

it's so crazy how in northwest philly you can buy, essentially, a manse in a nice safe green neighborhood with lots of amenities, and there are STILL no decent public or charter schools

Remember folks: you can be just as ugly on the inside as you are on the outside, even if you're physically repulsive

Fuck does that have to do with liberalism, you should obviously know what a thing means before you have it etched into your skin for the rest of your life. Ho Chi Minh would agree with that. Your friends are dumb

...I'm a second chances type guy and was down for the cause because whom amongst us hasn't had Poster's Madness, but, you know, I think I draw the line at a big fuckin Nazi tattoo

If you take $230 million out of the treasury to pay yourself for being president, I believe you should be executed for high crimes.

Honestly this is the way to do it. Stop being cute. Republicans want you to suffer. They want you to have less. They want to hurt your family. That should be the messaging

shout out to the crazy lady who walks around my neighborhood at four in the morning and steals everybody's plants. i don't care that she's 100 pounds i'm going to do a stakeout and give her the people's elbow

watched Tim Burton's SLEEPY HOLLOW the other night. total schlock, very fun, character actor jamboree. top flight spooky season tone setter and a horror movie where the bad guy is just a fucked up monster and not, like, a psychic manifestation of depression or impostor syndrome or whatever

you shouldn't be allowed to do that. he already had a farewell tour. i kinda thought he'd do this but sorry, it stinks.

brandon graham unretiring sucks. sorry. makes him much less interesting now.

British Greens are absolutely nuts. Their literal pitch is anyone who shows up gets to vote automatically. Labour is so cooked lol

i see you're doing something online that you have effortlessly done 100,000 times. would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? w

George Springer kept saying "our country" in reference to Canada last night. Kind of cool

Fuckin baseball man

America has fallen METRO NORTH SHOULD STOP AT POUGHKEEPSIE IT'S IN THE BIBLE PEOPLE

The phrase "school to prison pipeline" is disgusting libel meant to manipulate some of the kindest people on earth

I hate these people

I'm gonna throw up

Respectfully disagree. The video store is one of those vaunted "third spaces" that have actually disagreed. I spent so many Friday nights dicking around with my friends trying to pick movies to rent. Of course I miss that feeling but like... that feeling also doesn't exist anymore, for anyone

True story: my first job out of college was making these chyrons at FOX. They're called lower thirds, and the kids who make them are generally underpaid non-MAGA types desperate for work who knows no one is watching so they can dick around

Lengthy deliberations in my Homeboys group chat about whether we're all going to the high school reunion. This is our Yalta

Pretty bummed out that the ALCS is an epic all time baseball series that will decide who gets fuckin mulched by the Dodgers

i think i've watched that homophobic goomba eat shit 100 times. that little goblin gobbles pavement for like two whole seconds. he slides multiple feet on his head. he's extremely lucky he didn't bit the curb, because the kid who tripped him would be Doing Time lmao

Perhaps as unimpressive as such a game can be. He has two top-eight receivers - WR 1 in on almost any team in the NFL - who can get loose behind any offense and, even with injuries, multiple all-decade linemen... and that's not even counting the running back. It should be Madden numbers every game.

Carson Wentz and Wes Phillips

I used to think the narrative that Carson Wentz got his bell rung so bad that his brain forgot to do football good was sort of ableist and reductive, but, uh...

Trevor Lawrence is either the worst good QB or the best bad QB and there's no way to tell which it is

I don't know if I'd use the word "appropriated" for this. It's been like 1200 years since Samhain was merged with All Saints Day. They've been swapping pieces across continents for centuries now. That's just syncretism dog

Maybe the biggest problem for video generative AI right now is that, from a normie standpoint, it basically just seems like a toy for confused old people and groypers. As a consumer I immediately associate it with losers and angry shut-ins

Part of the reason I love this kind of thing is that Respectable Republican types who still support Trump have no idea this stuff is going on because Fox News insulates them from it, and getting to show them is priceless.

JD Vance made his nut by diming out his junkie shithead family. He wouldn't even defend his own wife and kids when members of his support base called them untermensch. He's lower than dirt in every way, a coward's coward, as hellbound as a man can be. And all for a shot at the brass ring.

The best referee gesture in sports is when the home plate umpire does the flamboyant Liu Kang hand turn thing to the first base umpire for a checked swing, but a solid second is the safety hand tent in football because everyone on defense does it and it's cute

Reasons I have zero fear of a Trumpist coup 1. They already tried and they bitched out 2. The generals and admirals speech made it very clear that those guys are more or less just waiting for it 3. Failing that two million wine moms will meat wave through mortar positions and take the White House

It's Barry Lyndon season baby

I've been working in The Bottom for like a decade now and wow... what Lancaster Ave or Haverford Ave would give for "gentrification" problems. We can't even keep the Family Dollar open, we're basically down to the fucking Metro by T-Mobile outfit and the Chinese donut store.

The wildest thing about every Trump pardon and commutation? “Mr. Santos will also no longer be required to pay more than $370,000 in court-ordered restitution to his victims…”

To be fair dude you are a fucking kook

One thing I admire about No Kings is that the libs, at very least, have a deep sense of what America Is and Isn't, and it speaks to how conservatives don't consider the American project to have any fucking meaning at all. The main divide in our nation is between patriotism and nihilism.
