one of my coworkers just said mickey mouse is a better cartoon character than bugs bunny so i hit him with a mallet bugs bunny style

an unholy american creation. we have been abandoned by god

now reading. let's go i love fighting and dying in a pointless war

Prediction: Canada's only demand of Israel if they invade Lebanon will be to commence land acknowledgments within 20 years, under no penalty.

i am 31 with a degree in history and i still don't really understand what trotskyism is and at this point i'm afraid to ask

damn son where'd you find this? another hood classic

bro imagine straight up doing a war crime on live tv. just imagine

in the midst of everything happening it hadn't even occurred to me that the american-israeli airstrikes that opened the iran war were not preceded by a declaration of war. we basically did the equivalent of pearl harbor to them, if pearl harbor had also killed FDR. who could blame them for hating us

i would beg my entire life savings that every white business owner complaining in this article about having no workers, also voted for trump the last three elections. my sympathy for them is less than zero

the final boss of 2020s internet meltdown culture: an israeli threatening to sue me, an american, under british libel law for accusing israel of genocide in gaza

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

witnessing some incredible political schizophrenia rn. just absolutely top tier idiocy. god save us all

my workplace had a group of australians visiting this week and listening to that accent 8 hours a day has been one of the more psychologically strenuous tasks of my life. what a bestial way of speech they have. just an unmitigated disaster of an accent

i am always fascinated by the person who dresses up nicely but smells bad. if you dress like shit, still smelling nice works in your favor. whereas dressing nicely makes stinky person worse, because you start wondering what on earth about them smells so bad that even fresh nice clothes don't help

realizing that, despite my permanent residence in canada, i remain american in essence. our national pessimism toward broader society and community is one of the US's most marked characteristics, seen from abroad

patton did something like this to confuse the germans about the location of the d day invasion

babe wake up, new chotinering just dropped

me sowing // me reaping

isn't this asshole from massachusetts? coming between massholes and their dunkin is like coming between alabamians and incest

i have never loved anything as much as the israeli air force loves killing muslim people

reddit thread about "what's the most beautiful song" and some of these answers are anthropologically fascinating. like wow, there really are some people with this pedestrian a taste in music

my only regret is that dick cheney didn't live to see us eat shit in iran

should be fine right?

this raises a good point about WWII culture, namely: to many, comes off suspicious to mourn german civilian casualties of bombing, but is simultaneously considered unacceptable to *not* mourn japanese civilian casualties of bombing. you can never mourn dresden, but are required to mourn hiroshima

after months of slow, grueling reading, i'm almost done with the jewish histories of the old testament. like anyone else raised christian i'd read genesis and exodus a million times, but leviticus, numbers, deuteronomy, joshua, judges, ruth samuel, kings, chronicles—this is difficult stuff. im tired

how did cormac mccarthy write this shit? this is dialogue, believe it or not

rip to a real one

both my parents attended elementary schools located on US military bases. very normal for kids with parents in the service. i feel like anyone who has any familiarity with life on military bases knows this post is bullshit

the names of american military operations continue to become cringier

People really struggling with the idea that the Iranian government sucks but we shouldn't be bombing them can both be true, eh?

i can't stop the us from bombing iran but i can say proudly that this is the first year since 2010 i have not paid any taxes to the US government and it may be self centered but god damn at least i don't have to pay for the hellfire missiles anymore

this interaction in cormac mccarthy's "all the pretty horses", between two arrestees outside a jailhouse, made me laugh out loud three times in a row. can't remember the last time one page of a novel did that.

watching the lcd soundsystem/arcade fire performance of "north american scum" at madison square garden in 2011 and wow, what a high water mark for millennial culture. all of this would almost certainly strike anyone under 30 as nightmarishly cringe, and rightly so

this SOTU sucks. trump does not have the juice anymore. the deal he made with so many—the twitter right wing, the news media—was that he could do whatever he wanted, as long as he was entertaining. he's not entertaining anymore. 2016 trump would effortlessly destroy this grubby old asshole

i'm excited for the state of the union tonight, i'm gonna get really baked and put on some ominous instrumental music in the background. we getting high and scared about the future of the world tonight folks

st. louis is likely the single greatest failure in all the history of the decline of american midwestern cities. shit like this should show you why

painful to see this and realize i knew at least a half dozen of these nerds in high school

the most impressive part is that mamdani is doing all this with zero food or water: it's ramadan, which means he on nil by mouth for the entire workday. my coworkers on ramadan rn are understandably moving a little slower this month—yet mamdani is out here busting ass while medically dehydrated

italian is the most beautiful dialect of spanish

my mother made a blueberry cobbler and i am 5000 miles away. this is textbook injustice

Hey, excited to introduce myself. I’m the guy at YouTube who set it up so when you watch a video labelled “Episode 8” the next video to play is “Episode 11.” I get paid $200,000 a year and my children don’t talk to me

listen up liberal: i'm sleepy and i need a nap. someone put me to bed pls 😴

paul simon is just bob dylan for people who think a slightly better singing voice can make up for a complete and total lack of bars

picked a really bad time to finally read stephen hawking's "a brief history of time" turns out he was the worlds first fully immobilized pedophile

one time as a teenager i was bored at work and wanted to leave. a coworker came over to me and whispered in my ear "if you shit your pants, they have to let you go home." he shared this as if it was forbidden knowledge

unhand me, yakubian devils !!

cocaine is basically the only common drug that's weaker now than it was 40 years ago. weed, psychs, opioids—they've all gotten much more potent, on average. meanwhile coke today is a shadow of 80s coke—there's a reason a gram costs less now even in absolute dollars (~$80) than it did in 1985 (~$100)

will never understand the trans ppl i know here in the liberal PNW who still refuse to use public bathrooms. why live in such a progressive place with all these rights and protections if we don't use them? if someone harasses me in the women's restroom they're getting their shit pushed in lol

one of the few us government bits of lore i unironically enjoy are the secret service code names for presidents and their families. it must be so fun to be the guy who gets to make these up

you get one of these fuckin things around me i'm beating it to pieces with a hammer
