Cool cool cool...we're just exploding people and bragging about it. Couldn't quite fit a mention of how this was done extrajudicially into the headline, huh CNN? Y'all should just hand over the reins to AI at this point.
My "FREE GUILLOTINES" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

That's not really responsive to my comment, but I guess I'll respond anyway: No it's not, and no I'm not.
I think Boomers have more than they need. A lot more.
I find it hard to believe only 51% are millionaires.
This is pretty deranged.
We'll never know. Never been run over. Unblemished record of not being run over. Too smart for that.
Holy shit this is stupid. I mean yikes on bikes this is dumb!
We're "Dennis Duffy, The Beeper King" the country.
Hey! How dare you! That's a REAL injury! I know a prescription sweatshirt sling when I see one!
BOOOOOO! TOO USEFUL!
The clear outcome would have been priests being on the right side of the "rape kids" vs "don't rape kids" debate for the first time in history. Your acceptance of such incredibly fucked up framing should really give you pause.
I feel like that German teacher simultaneously did not understand their job and also fully understood their job.
I used to speak French reasonably well, but since I lost the vast majority of it, I've taken to saying that I speak enough French to get my ass kicked.
Underrated skeet
📌 holy shit that's blatant
I might phrase the priest part as "stop enabling priests to give refuge to people who rape kids." Not sure the breaking of the confessional seal is the target if such legislation.
Pretty sure the answer is "maybe the next generation can figure out a strategy."
The Riverwalk is incredible. I tell people about it all the time and how I was so surprised by it, and San Antonio in general.
"Maximalist" implies he is simply using the full power of the office w/in the bounds of the law. You know that is not the case. The word you're cowering in fear of like a bunch of helpless children is "authoritarian" or "fascist." Y'all better smarten up quick. He'll have you against the wall soon.
Why would you showcase this drivel as your pull quote? I know he's a bit of a dummy, but could you not find a single coherent thought from the interview?
There's a revealing anecdote about Thomas in which a friend noticed that in the couple of years since his previous visit, Thomas had replaced a Malcolm X poster with a poster of a Rolls Royce. Thomas gave up on society in his early 20s and has been for sale ever since.
I really like that description. Makes sense that atheists might reflect some of the intensity of a particular religion, esp if they were raised in that religion and then became atheist, and esp esp if that religion has a significant faction that seeks dominance in that person's country.
Absolutely. But I think we're at the point where we need to start saying that they should be refusing orders (I don't mean the trash pickup is the final straw--just that it's extremely obvious they are being used illegally). They must know their orders will only get worse from here...
Had a teacher in HS who was a retired semi-high-ranking army officer, & if/when you got detention for being late 3x, he had you spend an hour counting the dimples on golf balls by dotting them with a sharpie. "You waste my time, I'll waste yours." I always liked him. I did NOT like counting dimples.
First day onlines? Welcome. Rookie mistake here. Basically, when you swerve out of your way to scold someone's levity, you're begging people to examine whether you walk the walk.
That guy is not the other side. He's a full-blown sociopath. He's never been on anyone's side but his own.
We're not gonna take kindly to that.
Is that the preferred terminology--is that what you're saying? I definitely would have said "doing sign language" as well, but if that comes across like someone referring to speaking English as "talking American," I'd...like to avoid that.
I cannot fathom how you figure this makes anyone but you look bad. Wow what an evil article.
I truly cannot believe you were willing to put your name on this. I've never seen anyone fully admit to being evil and then describe their thoughts in detail in case it wasn't completely clear already. Breathtaking soullessness.
Oh my god this article is parody-level evil. An editor would tell a fiction author, "that's a bit heavy-handed." What is wrong with you?
This is because Republicans think pictures of roast beef sandwiches are sexual content.

Good to see, insane that they needed to touch the stove to understand.
This is a horrible, horrible person. What a complete psycho.
Worst conversation I've ever heard on The Bulwark. The guy is a smug, entitled sociopath. Could not care less about the effects of what he and his ilk do in the world. All he wanted was a president that let him do whatever the fuck he wanted. No one should listen to this piece of garbage.
Same. What a completely vapid asshole. This is not a person anyone should listen to.
Couldn't do it. "The wrath of Khan"? Go fuck yourself.
Imagine showing up to that party with a Jello mold and your neighbor is like "Ohhhh look what you brought! I mean, I brought us--and by "us" I mean the entire world--a goddamn treasure for the ages. But no no, this is lovely! Mine hardly jiggles at all, so this is...really special."
I hear you, but if you asked me where I would expect to find the better brisket--restaurant or curbside--I'm taking curb meat every time.
If I remember correctly, their large pizza contains a cup (ONE ENTIRE GODDAMN CUP) of olive oil.
OK but if ever there was a time for a PhD plant-whisperer to do a bit of a Walter White, it feels like now might be that time.
I see the problem, but I'm not hearing a solution...
Ex-spouse
Seriously. My god.
Oh are we talking about majority Muslim countries? I thought we were talking about the U.S., where literally every single effort to lower age of consent and child marriage laws comes from Christians.
Churches. It's always churches.
Can't wait to hear about the wildly illegal thing Trump asked that guy to do before firing him. And I assume this means Bessant has completed his previous assignment of securing 100 deals in 100 days (+/- never), so that's exciting!
They're moving faster than expected and are often successfully destroying pieces of our very flawed democracy. Sometimes we let them, sometimes we fight. I'm just worried that there's no way to fix things unless we meet these lunatics in the street at some point.
He really, REALLY hates being Black. He benefited from some very good & effective affirm action programs/efforts, and he feels like that cheapens his success, so he desperately wants to pull up the ladder behind him & pretend it never existed to begin with. He's a truly vile person. ...as is Ginny.
And they're planning on being the only ones writing the history. That's the whole point of the movement: they ~tried democracy, but the majority hated their ideas. So now they're done w democracy. Done w asking permission. Done w accountability. They're scrapping America and rewriting it.
Yep. Saw one over the weekend. Prob seen a couple dozen in the wild since learning abt it via J6 traitors (many of whom were at least semi-honest abt its meaning) & Alito + Mike Johnson (who feign ignorance like the intellectual Zambonis for Christian nationalism & white supremacy that they are).
Interesting that someone who cares so deeply about antisemitism would turn a blind eye to an aspiring dictator whose administration is brimming with antisemites. If only we had a poem that applied to this type of situation...
The ASL translator has some real style that perfectly contributes to the moment. And the minor sound glitch as she says "felony" (or maybe "federal felony?") makes it sound like she got bleeped. It's perfect.
Somebody sneaked this article in and I commend you.
Fuck me, you were serious about this? I figured it was a weird troll that I just didn't really get. Nah, this is a trash-ass opinion. Take your pocket tuna out back and eat it by the dumpster.
Why wld you call yrself a centrist? All that means is you have no principles--you're defined by others. You'll just find the avg or the median and stand right there, no matter what those beliefs are. If, say, the right moves FAR right, then *you* must move to the right to remain in the center. Why?
I didn't say they didn't. I went to law school--I would never say anything like that. This is not an access to justice issue. I said it's absolutely fine to judge people who only defend extremely shitty rich people.
Yeah, not eating really reduces grocery bills. This reminds me of the diet supplement called AYDS. They used to have commercials with people saying things like "I could never manage to lose weight before AYDS came along..."
It's absolutely appropriate to judge lawyers based on their clients when it comes to high-dollar defense attorneys. He's no public defender. He's a guy who believes wealth should make one immune to consequence.
Oh thank god. I was worried there weren't enough dog-brained lackeys on this.

Saw this explanation today and I think it's spot on. That said, this WaPo piece deviates slightly from the recent enthusiastic focus on famine. It still doesn't go far enough to hold bad actors accountable, but it's something.
In Ryan Walters' state-sanctioned Trump Bible, I think the translation goes more like, "Thou shalt bear witness to thy neighbor's MILF wife." Ted Cruz is a big fan of the new translation, iirc.

And we all know how valuable the moral high ground is these days. Hell, a square foot of moral high ground plus $20 will getcha a full carton of eggs!
I went to a wedding in Tampa. Before dinner even started, the bride's dad changed out of his tux & into a shirt that read "IF YOU DON'T SPEAK AMERICAN GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY COUNTRY." (Yes..."speak American") I asked him why, yada yada I got kicked out of the wedding. Solid Tampa night, I figured.
Aaaaany second now...
They are enemies to our species, as well as to every other living thing on Earth. It should be impossible for their execs to show their faces in public without being excoriated by everyone they see. It's time we stopped treating them like opponents and started treating them as dangerous enemies.
What you're neglecting is that the call itself is not necessarily unreasonable; the arrest and refusal to understand the circumstances are the unreasonable parts. Along with the lack of solicitor and asking him if he's autistic (wtf?) and a number of other elements.
Not sure why you think it's dumb or Twitter-like for people to say that they like how solar looks. I certainly do.
Every oil & gas field looks like a bombed out WWII town. And every bit of foliage retreats from them like Mordor.
I think they're awesome. Not sure this rises to the level of "we need to admit..."
How is it that people still don't understand what free speech is and isn't?! Jfc.
I'm also unsure exactly how we got here, but I'm quite confident that magnets are still effective during police raids, regardless of hemisphere. (Yep, I'm aware I'm making this worse.)
Had to google vocal fry cus I thought it was just...slightly losing your voice. Like Steven Tyler or every coach. I was surprised to hear it's a choice! Then...unsurprised to learn that it mostly *is* slightly losing your voice, but in a way that's useful for dudes who want to criticize women. Fun!
Southern hemisphere. Magnets work totally differently there.
I had the same question. Here's an article that includes the pseudonym in the 2nd paragraph (you can probably tell by the fact that I'm not just writing it out that...yeah, that's a slur alright...) databreach.com/news/15-upda...
Oh good. So it's pretty much The Bobs, except they're zealots for AI instead of Michael Bolton.
What's not to like?! They walk AND talk!
I know metal in the room is legitimately a problem, but I kinda always thought the movie representation of them sucking people in by their jewelry or pulling guns from their hands was at least a little exaggerated. Apparently not so much...

Well that's the thing, isn't it...the frictionless existence is a big part of what causes Billionaire Brain, and is also what makes it irreversible, because they are completely protected from the ill effects of their affliction.
And that's what separates those who hate these assholes from those who worship them in the comments. I'm not rich, but I'm very happy, and there's literally no amount of money that could persuade me to spend time in Elon's head. These are broken people--intellectual and emotional zombies.
The lowercase "or in the shed" is the kind of attention to detail that separates good forum-specific guys from great forum-specific guys.
Feeling more & more like the mafia: Trump's guys want to be good earners, so they each come up w/ a sad little scheme to steal from the coffers of their particular department sub-fiefdom. The *actual* harm is, of course, far more important than the aesthetics, but my god this is all so fucking tacky
Yup. That ain't love, just as adopting certain dos & don'ts cus god says you have to...is not morality.
Alex, I used to agree; I tried to convince ppl that gerry-ing was bad. But if high-road persuasion *could* work on this issue, then why has it only gotten worse? We tried it. It failed. We simply do not have the luxury of ideological purity on this. If we lose this fight, we lose every other fight.
I think this person replied to me and then blocked me, so I can't see the reply. Masterful stuff.
Wrong and dumb.

Jfc. Pretty gross way to think about things, Amy.
If it weren't for David Brooks, Brett Stephens would be the wrongest man in America. He should take to the seas, as should anyone at NYTimes who thinks Bret's opinion is even remotely worthwhile.
After the Netflix series about the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist came out, I dressed up as the duct-taped guard for Halloween. It was NOT well received. Most people thought I was some sort of B-list slasher movie villain...which is fair.
That's what makes her a pro; she pushes right through those barriers of conscience and integrity and decency and self-respect and so many other things that might slow you or me down. She's the Clydesdale of moral bankruptcy.
Should we reset the 2-week clock?
