Peter Thiel apparently watched Raiders of the Lost Ark and thought that Herr Toht was the good guy.

Is there a 25th Amendment equivalent we can use on Ezra?

As a long-suffering Bears fan, I cannot find it in me to be upset that Green Bay and Dallas tied today.

Anyone else get really bad headaches at the back of your head that are somehow caused by nasal congestion?

Translation: Our advertisers started ripping us new assholes. www.rawstory.com/jimmy-kimmel...

I wish Craig Ferguson had still been on the air here when this all happened.

So, @radiodeadair.com.... How much would you scream if someone handed you one of these as part of a install?

God: So, you want to get Raptured? Me: Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but, uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine, we're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

Some gormless... *puts finger to ear* ...Senator said that Tylenol caused way more deaths than deworming meds, and that's why it's bad.

This includes "you shouldn't allowed lace-up shoes, as you are likely to hurt yourself putting them on."

(Work) --This happened yesterday. SUPER annoying CW shows up to talk to immediate CW#1. I then watch as immediate CW#2 quickly and quietly packs up their stuff and leaves - never seen them move so fast to get out. SACW: Hey is CW#2 here, I wanted to ask them something. Me: You just missed them.

🤘🤘GWAR 🤘

Fozzie Bear be like: Frog is this true?

Translation: We have watched how much money we've lost in the last few days, and decided we love money more than we fear Trump.

When Harold Camping predicted the Rapture for May 21, 2011, he had the decency to pick a Saturday, so that I could dress up as Jesus. And yes, I did. And went to the mall. I still have pictures somewhere.

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

100 of those views are TCW watching and rewatching it and touching himself.

@theonion.com briefly forgets that they are supposed to be satire.

To quote Iago... Iago the parrot, that is, "Oh, there's a big surprise! That's an incredib... I think I'm gonna have a heart attack and die from that surprise!" arstechnica.com/ai/2025/09/s...

CW: How's it going? Me: I am held together with caffeine, sugar, and Sinex.

What's the odds on if the Dems win the Senate, that one or more of the older Republican SCOTUS justices retires in the time between the election and the enrollement of those new Dem Senators, and that the outgoing Republican majority demands to seat even worse justices (Bove) to replace them?

What’s at stake here is free speech. Across the board, we’ve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody who’s criticized them — and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel. We need to all stand up and speak out.

Face-droop or just unhappy that he doesn't have medals and everyone else there does? (Or both.)

You know you're sick when eating a breakfast sandwich (at 1 PM) tires you out.

Every time Grok says something accurate that is unpopular with Musk, this seems to happen.

I am a no way a religious person. But damn if this pastor wasn't on fire here.

I know I mention QI a lot, but they actually just answered a question I've had for a while: And that is, "A single gram of uranium would give you 19.6 billion calories. And it would be the last thing you ever ate."

The White House is having to deny reports that Stephen Miller likes to play with dolls. This is what happens when you order your Dark Helmet off of wish dot com.

I've started receiving fundraising texts from purportedly CK-related groups. Instead of my normal profanity (e.g., "fuck off"), I'm just blocking the number. Because I can't trust that my standard response wouldn't get me put on some list by them.

Watching QI and they talk about the funny bone. Me thinking: Yeah, I haven't hit my funny bone in years. 15 minutes later: Motherfucker.

The latest Thomas Chatterton Williams book is not as absorbent or soft as Charmin, but serves much the same purpose.

Ok, so the Pulte thing seems to be because he did not, or could not, read. The loan document has box text on it that says (paraphrased) "this loan is for a primary residence, unless otherwise stated in writing". And then paperwork saying (again para) "this is in writing saying vacation home".

*that sigh of exasperation with yourself when you realize the reason you felt like crap all day is because you forgot to take your BP medication the night before*

Gorillaz did a song with Sparks. I really hope there ends up being a full video.

I knew before I even hit play that this ~HAD~ to be "Welcome to the Black Parade".

Choices were made.

Someone has to have already made this joke, right?

The rapid development appears to have been "we need to make it look like we're actually following up on things, instead of being unable to find our asses with both hands, a map, a torch, and the assistance of all known descendants of Sherpa Tenzing."

Content warning: Actual journalism occurring here. @ezraklein.bsky.social should avoid this; it will likely cause him to break out in hives.

When it happens, if you're someone who says, "I can't celebrate that", just let me know. I will celebrate for you.

Well. That certainly was the Chicago Bears that I've grown to expect over the last few years.

Tech bros re-invent the demon possessed amulet.

So... he was a Heisenberg Uncertainty Informant? He was or wasn't an informant for the FBI, depending on how badly you wanted to believe that bullshit? (There would also be a double-slit experiment joke here, but Trump wouldn't fit through.)

This is how you tell me, Bluesky? This?

Flu and covid vaccines acquired. They tried to give me a bit of pushback on covid (even though they'd accepted the appointment reservation), but I pointed out the pre-existing condition, and it became not a problem.

Now I'm considering who the FBI would have the Trix Rabbit wearing a wire for... I'm thinking Lucky the Leprechaun, for human trafficking.

When @govpritzker.illinois.gov is president, the first executive order he needs to sign should be titled, "Undoing all the Stupid Shit EOs from the Previous Administration".
