to have an affair with one longshot presidential candidate twice your age that you’re profiling may be regarded as a misfortune; to have two looks like carelessness

lowkey the most hilarious part of this is the high-paying job cleaning up other people’s prose

Credit where credits due: ol boy really delivered here lmao

Her whole career appears to have been built around advertising her willingness to sleep with older men and if I was the Condé Nast HR department I might be asking some pretty serious questions right now.

Free speech is more than me being allowed to say what I want. Everyone also has to like it and tell me I'm a smart and handsome boy

Dems: Mamdani is too radical for our taste. Plus someone said he's antisemitic. And that name is scary to us! We need to keep him out. Dems, 1 week later: Look lots of people have tattoos like that Dems, 2 weeks later: Marjorie Taylor Greene, welcome to the Tent

When my Hold All These Motherfuckers Accountable party is assembling its national agenda, piratic old monopoly utilities are high on the list of targets.

I feel like the pope being an American cinephile is God finally rewarding Scorsese for a lifetime of devotion

For thirty years I worked in the post-Soviet successor states in Central Asia and observed over and over again precisely the cycle that Bill Kristol describes. Corruption leads to authoritarianism, directly. The path is utterly predictable.

Freeze distillation moonshine videos getting 10m views probably a solid recession indicator:

"I became a hater by doing precisely those things AI cannot do: reading and understanding human language; thinking and reasoning about ideas; considering the meaning of my words and their context; loving people, making art, living in my body with its flaws and feelings and life."

if we tax them more, how will they pay for all the blood cleansing, cell rejuvenation, and transcranial magnetic stimulation they need? www.wsj.com/lifestyle/tr...

America can't be fascist because I'm not doing anything about it

imagine being hit on by gross old Larry Summers when you just wanted professional advice and then finding out he was getting advice on how to hit on you from Jeffrey fucking Epstein one of the grossest things I’ve ever read

I imagine these are the kinds of titles you'd see on the VHS tapes in the backroom behind the curtain at the movie rental store in the 90s.

Part 85 of 200 in historically interesting things to inspire your ttrpg A neon saleman’s sample case, circa 1935

Just heard about this huge (49 state) long covid trial using tirzepetide (aka zepbound) one of the newer glp meds. It’s run by researchers at scripps, funded by the eric & wendy schmidt foundation. It looks like it is still enrolling, fully remote participation: longcovid.scripps.edu/locitt-t/?ut...

It is very funny that this Pope is just going to get jerseys from now on. Everyone decided that's what this Pope likes and that is it. It's like if your grandmother got you a puzzle for Christmas one year and you said you liked it so your entire extended family is like "oh that's the puzzle kid"

5 headlines tonight on Charlotte Observer’s homepage: “Manolo's Bakery closes to protect customers” “Church members flee as federal agents arrive” “Super G executive describes agents dragging out teen employee” “Border Patrol questions people at Walmart” “Border Patrol sweep sparks fear”

youre asking chatgpt. im asking my discord full of autistic people that i keep in my back pocket. we are not the same.

“A tribal nation needs to have... the right to refuse and say, ‘No, we’re not comfortable with this outside entity using our information, even though you might have a really altruistic motivation behind doing it.’”

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow

dystopian ass weather report

Ancient philosophy is 50% profound eternal wisdom and 50% that same exact guy declaring with supreme confidence two paragraphs later that pee is stored in the armpit.

Puking and crying at the thought of trans people in Ghana getting access to microcredit

the sooner people internalize this about the dems, stop projecting their fantasies on the party, and start demanding more, the better off we’ll all be.

And not to get too real on a late night post, but yeah. I am *so* fucking done with people acting like this is normal. That the president of our country can just flat out lie and it’s not a big deal. That an entire branch of our government has been subverted to the whims of a serial liar.

Incredibly smart PR tactic from ICE to continue assaulting very handsome priests

Getting very tired of the tech bros making their inability to grapple with mortality everyone else's problem.

Namby/Pamby 2026 will not save democracy. We need fighters, reformers, and passionate progressives who will demand real change, real accountability, and real consequences.

This is unbelievable. I got suspended by bluesky just for quoting the lyrics of the Beatles’ “I Want to Hold Your Hand” and changing “hold your hand” to “stab you with a big knife”

Release the MRI images, too

polisci and conlaw professors standing round the coffee machine asking what level of functional decline makes congress legally dead for constitutional purposes

it’s so galling how little it costs to bribe this government

Amazing, they built a blasphemy machine.

THIS IS YOUR LAWYER, ALAN,,,,

WE WON. I am *begging* you to take note of who did this. *Not* UCLA admin—they’re still scuttling around behind closed doors, attempting to appease—but FACULTY AND STAFF, led by AAUP.

for example: we just watched Joyce Carol Oates break Elon Musk’s psyche into 20,000 wriggling maggot-like pieces, and she said nothing anyone could ever construe as a bannable threat in the process

It really seems like this administration is trying to eliminate the field of public health. MPHs and DrPHs will no longer be considered "professional degrees" by the DOE and, therefore, will face limits to accessing federal student loans. aspph.org/department-o...

This is a newspaper that published numerous stories about a 17 year old from Uganda checking a box on a college form that said “African American”

*supervillain with a heart of gold voice* Well well well

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

What the Epstein files show is the *solidarity* of many men-across class, race, religion, profession & party affiliation-in the global political project of keeping the boot on women's necks. People have no problem understanding class solidarity among the rich. Why can't they see gender solidarity?
