Folks, it’s a little thing called Damnatio Memoriae. We like it, don’t we? We do. It’s when, really, someone is so, so bad that you just get rid. You say “No thank you” and you scour. You scour them from living memory and you do it strongly and they know you mean it. It’s beautiful and we do it now.

We are always asking ourselves who is paying this man.

Nice work, Jon.

Class is certainly a factor, but Junger is also part of a class of GWOT correspondents whose relationship to the US military and veterans should prompt scrutiny of his objectivity.

Many such cases.

The thing about Stoller is that he’s a moron who is wholly committed to staying in his very narrow lane. To that end, you don’t have to pay attention to him anymore. The thing you assume he thinks about literally anything? Yep, that’s what he thinks. Spot on. Case closed. Save yourself the time.

There are more of us than them. Why are we talking about ceding territory to a wildly unpopular political movement?

He’s been so gassed up with this new job he’s forgotten how easily even bog standard politicians can ether him with minimal effort.

He’s laughing at us.

I want to love anything as much as this man loves being under federal indictment.

Olivier was once so brilliant in Macbeth that his own cast applauded him. He stormed offstage anyway, slammed the dressing room door. -- Larry, don't you know you were brilliant? -- Of course I fucking know! But I don't know WHY!!

This is true, and Mamdani could, but it would also be the only thing he does and it probably limits him to one term. I’m saying someone shouldn’t get elected for this specific purpose knowing they’re a walking sacrifice, but this is the reality.

Their plan amounts to mob justice.

77 million votes.

Frum’s kid. Of course.

Wait.

He’s good on camera, knows enough of the right people, and the bar is on the floor.

As someone who never engaged with the source material, ‘Backrooms’ felt like a solid first swing from a young director who genuinely gave a shit about his movie.

It’s increasingly clear to me that Donald Trump has not been in practical control of the war with Iran from the moment he issued the order to go to war with Iran.

I’m not as bullish on Blexas as some but I think there’s a lot of value in forcing them to spend a bunch of money defending the seat and in adding another recent data point about the irredeemability of red state Republicans.

A big contributor to this trend with left wing consultants in their 20s behaving like a poorly-written Josh Lyman is that a lot of them were given jobs in politics by friends of their parents and had never gotten screamed at for smaller mistakes before making really big ones.

I love you.

Slinky lived a surprisingly long life for a dog that was also a coil.

BREAKING: Way, No Way has withdrawn from the Freedom 250 Celebration. The festival declined to offer a slot to Ross Gellar in his capacity as solo keyboard artist.

Oh, they’re actually freaking out.

my confidence that these people are going to lose is rising and my estimate of the amount of damage they are going to do on the way out, especially as they realize they're losing, is also rising

Look, man: do it. Do the thing. Stop talking about it and do it. Do it.

Attributing this to the cocktail of research chemicals that has turned him into a sweaty paranoiac, and the misguided but still widely held belief among oligarchs that if things go south for them, there will be somewhere they can go that we won’t find them.

You know these guys are extremely butthurt about being criticized for selling Platner when they feel comfortable talking like this.

Maybe one day you’ll learn to play a new note. Not today, though. Not today.

Mullin won’t get this done for a variety of reasons but that shouldn’t stop Democrats from using it as an excuse to punish red state Republicans with equal or greater severity as soon as possible.

This is a guy going through the motions. He doesn’t believe a word of this, doesn’t really want to be there, but knows what happens if he doesn’t waddle out and rattle off the Big Wet Man’s greatest hits. This is a dead movement whose carcass is being picked clean by its lowest common denominator.

People On Here will insist with a straight face that you can’t write off Republican voters as inveterate, pedophile-empowering racists and uh

Look, you can make some valid points about his legislative limitations as minority leader, but this is just dogshit politics. Schumer is simply not good enough for the current moment.

Donald Trump’s political success is almost entirely attributable to his willingness to invent tangible targets for Americans’ intangible feelings of inadequacy, with zero fear of the long-term consequences of that social dynamic. We’ll continue to live with this long after he’s gone.

The thing about Twitter is that it was a terrible ad product before Elon ever had the platform in his sights, but businesses kept spending because, lol, advertising. If he’d bought it and done precisely nothing different, it would be in a markedly better spot right now.

This is, conservatively, $120 worth of Uber rides.

To the extent this problem is real (it’s not) Twitter doesn’t solve for it in any capacity.

Don Jr.’s life has been a fairly well documented string of incredibly public and humiliating abuses from his father and I have to wonder if he has a breaking point that the drugs eventually won’t be able to stave off.

It’s telling that they’re having to trot out backbenchers for this.

You can always tell when the Post’s heart isn’t in it.

Charlie Kelly-level discourse on government.

It’s Glonzos all the way down.

Boutros Boutros-Folly.

Do it, man. Hit the gas 12 weeks before midterms.

Grown adults who judge someone’s professional potential on their alma mater are invariably enormous losers with borrowed personalities.

We’re in thrall to this feckless bitch’s pet projects.

Yeah, “indiscriminate hate” implies the killers would have been just as happy to murder WASPs and this is very clearly not the case. We should be asking why the FBI would obfuscate their underlying motivations and on whose orders.
