If you aren't going to byline authors maybe don't hire weird obsessive bigots who can't read medical studies.

Tune stuck in my head this morning: part of the chorus to Pink Pony Club Lyrics stuck in my head: Big fucking club I'm a'gonna hit him with a Big fucking club

OMG Rapture! It happened! Any preacher you see starting today is a charlatan who got left behind!

Anne Applebaum blocked me over this? Please, who’s to say I wasn’t expressing admiration over her principled view on the state blowing up journalists?

Anyone got a trumpet I can borrow? I want to play a trick on the Evangelical dude who lives up the road from mine

I always thought Deep Thought was unnecessarily dismissive of the Amalgamated Guild of Philosophers, Sages, Luminaries, and Other Thinking Persons but now, after reading this brief, I think it might have been unnecessarily polite.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

I am terrified of the vegan holiday nog that's on manager's special on the 22nd of September

I look forward to Trumpists telling us for the next several years that this is a "hoax" because Trump didn't actually say that babies would explode.

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

LOL

out of bag

Take that, everyone who said the characters in my pitch for a romcom where a rapist and a puppy murderer connect over their mutual love of torture were "unrealistically and gratuitously horrible."

Can we all agree to, where applicable, treat the Rapture as a very real historical event that (after tomorrow) absolutely did happen?

I understand a lot of this stuff as a matter of professional import and what they're doing is cycling the money back and forth to keep the scam going

Sorry, I'm now told that Baby Yoda is being forced to donate to Turning Point USA and that in the place of this movie they will now air two-hour pyrotechnics-laden memorial for Hero of the Empire, Orson Krennic

People keep calling this a scarf because Lenny Kravitz is wearing it around its neck, but... It's clearly a blanket, right? If I take a sheet off my bed and put it around my collar with a half-Windsor knot, that doesn't make it a necktie, does it?

This goes along with the Yglesias "analysis" that using political power to do things your voters want is bad electoral politics.

This is why I finished neither System Shock nor Bioshock.

The problem with being a Washington Post columnist and attacking bluesky is... you're a Washington Post columnist. If you were making good points, Will Lewis would already have fired you for it.

The intelligence is artificial but the dipshittery is real.

Tabby Road

Possibly THE fun fact about McCarthyism

Oh good because I want a car that lies to me

I love what Russell Wilson is doing out there. The results aren't there yet, admittedly, but the process—sprinting in place for four seconds and then throwing the ball off the goal post at 107mph—is sound. Stay the course. This is for sure going to work.

I'm sorry, is that not Depeche Mode?

I do think MAGA managed to make the Kirk assassination their 9/11 Not in the sense they wanted, but in the sense that they took their brief window of public sympathy and strip-mined it so totally that everyone hates them even more, now

The word for someone who gives money to an institution like this is not "student." It is "mark."

What movie do you consider perfect?

“I’m pretty sure Mom smuggled that aloe in from Hawaii”— @ashmcgonigal.com Me, an absolute fool: “How did she manage that?” Ash: “You know, she was fucking the pilot” Me, facepalming: “I walked right into that one, didn’t I?”

Maybe I don't really want to do bonsai. Maybe I just want to tie up trees.

TEN times? Jesus fucking Christ.

What the fuck, I was mostly kidding 😩

I'm glad she's phrasing it as the demonization *OF* trans minors, because not one person spreading the narrative that trans kids are somehow being manipulated into transitioning is willing to treat a single trans kid with anything but vitriol and hatred. Tell it like it really is

I'm convinced that Tyler Robinson isn't a leftist because if he were, we'd have heard about one or more pieces of "What would John Brown do?" merch that he owned.

i've been thinking a lot about the historical record on this and how hard it will be to communicate that this guy was a fucking nobody

"We are itching to roll over and give Republicans a victory that they can use to attack our base but they won't let us" is the actual state of Democratic politics in Washington DC.
