“The ship of state is the only vessel that leaks from the top.” — Sir Humphrey Appleby

Financial innovations aside, all these guys see is an endless, infinite-capacity money laundering machine (they share this viewpoint with organized criminals, fugitive Third World government embezzlers, and rogue state leaders everywhere)

The floggings will continue until morale improves

This reminds me a bit of the "Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic-Peril-Sensitive Sunglasses" in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -- the closer you get to danger, the darker they get, until you're about to die and they go completely black. That's our intelligence production policy now, folks.

wealth redistribution for me (and my friends) but not for thee

To all the folks pointing out the myriad logical inconsistencies committed by the 🍊 administration, please stop. You’re wasting your effort. They. Don’t. Care. This isn’t about logic & reasoning. Or principle. Or ideology. It’s about turning power into pocket-lining cash. 💰 Fight another way.

I don’t know about y’all but I’m increasingly skeptical of this whole “arc of the moral universe bending toward justice” thingy

Least surprising news you’ll read this year

Broken clocks, blind squirrels, etc

WIRED: BAGRAM TIRED: GREENLAND EXPIRED: VENEZUELA

That’s an attention-getter 😳

I think the US military is alreadysufficiently threatening as it is, “Secretary Pete”

Zapruder (vt): "To take an image or event from being merely descriptive to becoming complex, perplexing, and endlessly fascinating."

You can bet that NYT readers and writers were prominently among the contingent leading this trend, which if you think about it makes it the most perfect NYT ouroboros story imaginable

I finally watched ‘Idiocracy’ and can we just talk about how much the 2006 Oscars committee missed the boat by not giving Dax Shepherd a nomination for best supporting actor? An absolutely tour de force performance.

All these liberals are freaking the fuck out about the WH tweet making 🍊 out as Col Kilgore but honestly all I can see is a desperately insecure group of moron incels who can’t believe they’re in charge of the country and have to prove how incredibly virile they are to compensate

I believe the technical art history term for this style is “Inbred Midwestern National Realism”

It just keeps getting dumber 🤣

I fully expect RFK Jr's CDC will issue a report any day now blaming autism on sunspots and chemtrails

These clowns have no idea how transparently corrupt they sound (or maybe they just don’t care) www.cnbc.com/2025/09/05/j...

Quelle surprise 😏 propublica.org/article/texa...

If only the Supreme Court was a coequal branch of government and they could decide to hear the case on their own schedule, oh well www.cnbc.com/2025/09/03/t...

The last thing America needs is another political dynastic generation y’all particularly if it’s millennials

It's a rare day that I agree with AOC but on this occasion she's right. Nobody is forcing you to run for Congress.

Huge congratulations if you had “Drone Strikes in the Caribbean” on your 2025 bingo card

Strange things afoot at the Circle K

The sheer amount of traffic on the ocean that is easily trackable is astonishing to me. Green = freight, Red = tanker, Blue = passenger vessel, Purple = private vessel

I’m very much here for the Joni Ernst schadenfreude 😂

yes, because what we really need now in the era of infinite AI is LESS electricity generating capacity 🤦‍♂️ www.cnbc.com/2025/08/29/t...

It remains staggering to me that, in the absence of meaningful penalties for the people at fault, this has simply become a part of ordinary modern life.

There must be a German word for this level of extreme sycophancy

The word describing this phenomenon precisely is right on the tip of my tongue, can’t quite remember it though 🤔

Just amazing how many supposedly serious people are willing to say obviously unserious things in order to get jobs in this deeply unserious administration

Seizing ownership of the means of production to pwn the Libz 🙄

What’s worse than being forced to use Windows? Being forced to use a 30 year old version of Windows 😂😱 www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Can’t this wait til I’m old? Can’t I live while I’m young?

All other things being equal, would you rather live in a country where (A) poor people were allowed to get away with a non-violent crime, or (B) rich people were allowed to get away with non-violent crime?

No context Fox News 😆

I believe in Snoopy and I vote

“If intelligence analysts at the CIA saw our rivals engage in this kind of great-power suicide, we would break out the bourbon. Instead, the sound we hear is of champagne glasses clinking in the Kremlin and Zhongnanhai.” Read the whole thing. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

I’m sorry what 😂

By crazy coincidence, it just so happens that I was building a Dyson sphere in my backyard already, I’m ahead of the curve as usual

No surprise - this dude would be a gold medalist in the "Punchable Face Olympics"

I’m sure there are black holes out in space that watch the entropic moral collapse of Marco Rubio’s principles with complete envy

excellent for whom tho 🤔
