I think the Platner thing hit me so hard bc it was one of the most protracted, widespread acts of misogynist gaslighting from my own side that I've seen. We were presented with an obvious violent scumbag who was constantly lying (badly, might I add) and told we were crazy for not loving him

Jeez what roadkill did he pick up and eat this time?

I spent 20 minutes with Mitch McConnell this afternoon and yeah he was moving a little slow but he enjoyed some leafy greens (raw but ok whatever) and even took a bite or two of watermelon to keep cool Oh hold it No it was this guy, my mistake, I wasn’t wearing my glasses.

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

New AP polling of Jewish Americans— Mamdani (+5): 44% Favorable; 39% Unfavorable Netanyahu (-27): 32% Favorable; 59% Unfavorable Trump (-42): 29% Favorable; 71% Unfavorable Where's all the breathless wall-to-wall coverage on Netanyahu & Trump making Jewish people feel unsafe?

I bet when they opened those doors everything was composed in perfect colourful symmetry.

Is it weird that, in all of this, I’m mostly familiar with the animated fictional character?

As the parent of a child who is just aging out of this system, damn right it’s cruel, and what’s more it’s left up to school boards to support these kids while they’re on the 5-YEAR waitlist, yet Ford’s board supervisors keep cutting spec ed supports. Cruel is too tame a word for it.

"Fewer than 1 in 4 kids & youth on Ontario’s autism waitlist received funding for behavioural, speech & mental health services in recent years... A maximum of 24% of waitlisted children and youth were receiving what are known as core clinical services between April 2022 and March 2024" #OnPoli

FIFA. It's just the fucking worst, man. IOC: Hold my beer.

Oh BIG surprise here 🙄

People who are dying are talked to all the time. I spoke to my dad a lot after he lapsed into unconsciousness and before he finally passed away.

is this guy scott jennings reliable and trustworthy or what

If Jennings talked to me for 20 minutes, I'd wish I were dead.

Hazing is bullshit and should be banned.

Wow! I'm here in the Criterion Closet! Don't know why they asked me but it's an honor to-... Is it supposed to be filling with water?

Enough turning these animated films into live action movies. I want to see live action classics turned into animation. Gordon Gekko’s cigar exploding, turning his face black. Lawrence of Arabia imagining a sand dune as a roasted ham.

I feel kind of alone in thinking this but… What if USMNT played so badly because… Consciously or unconsciously… They wanted to… Throw the game? (runs and hides)

Anti-intellectualism is a bipartisan project and in both cases it’s basically market protectionism for one’s artisanal shoddy, boring ideas that cannot find an audience.

Worst Ponzi scheme ever, in terms of both magnitude and speed. Almost like another rapid unscheduled disassembly.

Dems have dumped Swalwell and platner Republicans have nominated Ken Paxton

You do not have to give people “due process” before you choose not to vote for them. You can just be like “oh word the guy who wrote rape apologia and had allegations just got another serious allegation? Guess he doesn’t need to be my senator.”

Once again, I am just a small-town international relations professor, standing here, begging our media & our Congress to take our most important signed, ratified international treaty seriously & threats by the One Special Boy to violate it as the presidency-ending scandal that it should have been.

7 July 1930 | A Polish Jew, Menachem Chalemski, was born. He lived in Łódź. In 1944 he was deported to #Auschwitz from #Litzmannstadt Ghetto. He did not survive.

The best edit I’ve seen in weeks, you absolutely have to turn the sound on for this one.

Happy birthday Ringo Starr, 86 today. He still owns Maureen's red vinyl raincoat.

when i was young they had these people called “investigative journalists” who could find out stuff like if a senator was dead or not

This is one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen

The eternal question of our times.

Genuine Question: At one point did business leaders conclude that they no longer need anyone to: 1. Make their products 2. Buy their products And still expect to generate infinite growth and revenue? At what point did they decide this fundamental part of how a market works no longer applies?

7 July 1942 | A Hungarian Jewish girl, Zsuzsanna Gerstl, was born. In 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz ana murdered in a gas chamber.

Looking forward to another photo of all the leaders talking to each other while Trump stands off to the side, looking completely lost and alone.

7 July 1934 | Hungarian Jewish boy György Engel was born. In June 1944 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber. --- ▶ WEBINAR: Deportations of Jews from Hungary to Auschwitz: https://youtu.be/M42znxofU5Q

You knew this was coming.

I just need you to find 5 goals

Man got Chotiner’d without even agreeing to an interview. Astounding

One thing about a bartender: they can spot a Type

If I were to have Adam Sandler officiate my wedding I would have him do it as Little Nicky.

This headline, it's accurate! 👀

Uh oh is Spain going to kill my World Cup conspiracy theory?

6 July 1931 | Dutch Jewish girl, Esther Engelsman, was born in Amsterdam. She was deported from Westerbork to Theresienstadt ghetto in January 1944, and four months later deported to Auschwitz. She was placed in the family camp for Jews from Theresienstadt. She did not survive.

and there we go. again, all this could have been avoided by the simple rule of 'don't support a candidate with a Nazi tattoo'. Not a challenge! www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

I don't even think you can say the misogyny is subtextual at this point. It's just the text

Legit question: Did uber-Catholic JD Vance say anything about this?

There's a new enemy in town: kids with cancer

This is corrrect. Trump has made the merits of the original red card irrelevant. He has made Article 27 irrelevant. He has made the existence or otherwise of remedies for the automatic one-game suspension irrelevant. The story is now interference by the head of government. The merits don't matter.

great movie about how Belgium is a bleak purgatory that makes people yearn for death

Run on this! It's a real thing! People want to hang out IRL but hanging out IRL is too expensive.

Johnson divorced his wife for having cancer and then spent millions on a smear campaign against her when this information came out, so I think his body forcibly eating him up on the inside to make up for his conscience deficiency is a fitting punishment.

Anyway, just to be clear: Gianni Infantino is Swiss. I know his name and the whole nonchalant corruption vibe make it sound like like he’s our fault. But this one is not on us. He’s Swiss.
