I know this isn't the point, but the elevation of the hyper specific Scotch Irish as the New American Master Race is just so fucking weird. Most White American's couldn't even really identify what that is. But they're the real Americans, because... the Whiskey rebellion?
Okay sharks. It's a women's pants store. But it's just a three-dimensional cube of pants. X is inseam. Y is waist. Z is hips. And there are no descriptors like curvy, relaxed or boyfriend style.
Clearly the only solution is to tear down apartments to create parking garages.
People claiming that Trump is our first "Weekend at Bernie's" president need to get real. This totally happened before with Woodrow Wilson.
The generation of software that does 80% of what it's supposed to do and can't be fixed because it was created by middle managers yelling at chatbots is going to be amazing! I'm already getting "sorry my code doesn't work. It was made by AI" as though that's a valid excuse.
It's gonna get awkward with everyone singing "All Hail."
America has a tavern from 1673, also older than America. whitehorsenewport.com
My four grandparents came from four separate European countries. That's maybe slightly unusual, but most white people I know are Euromutts.
My solution is simply to end sexism and violence.
Up there with ski jump for "how do you train for this without dying?"
My uncle died and left me some money. It's really great, and my kid's college fund appreciates it. But also, there's no money that I've earned less and deserves to be be taxed more. It's just absurd that I get to keep his IRA for free.
His 5th vacation since getting into office? It's only been 7 months.
Hard for me to imagine the dude is acting in good faith rather than running an extortion con on Cornell, which is also a major part of the modern conservative movement.
Because the actual power structure is composed of people who love tax cuts for rich people.
One of a variety of Cool Mom Republicans.
I don't need to follow those things that Congress passes. You know "laws."
Seems genuinely problematic that if you have money, you can lose a primary and just run anyways. Why is there even a process for that?
This argument seems to be "one of the authors was on a podcast where the host said some racist stuff a long time ago and apologized for it."
My man, the Business School was right there for mocking.
Adultery of biblical proportions.
I think the idea is that they're super privileged. But New York is a scam so they should move to Jacksonville where they can have a house. But I'm really filling in the blanks here.
How many Republican congressmen are actually insane cult members? Like I assume there's a lot of racists, poor-haters and corrupt rich guys. But are there really dudes for whom meeting Donald Trump is a life-changing, bucket list item? Are they actually lining up to touch the hem of his garment?
It's not about absolute wealth. It's about being richer and more powerful than your neighbors.
What party has Thom Tillis thought he was in for the last 40 years? Dude has implicitly devoted his life to redistributing money from poor people to rich people. Now he's getting queasy?
Well, you know what they say. An anti-semite's right twice a day.
It's crazy what John Brown's up to these days.
This is the American history analog to arguing about Holocaust numbers. A gateway drug to all-out denialism.
This just makes me want to try cocaine more.
Gotta love people who hear the phrase "police state" and think "that sounds awesome! I love Sting."
It's crazy that ICE can arrest people for anything. If you protest a normal government agency, that agency has to call the cops to maintain order. ICE just randomly arrests people for stuff way outside their remit.
I can imagine the 4 hour meeting where they debated whether to add South Africa (Whites excepted) or just make it unwritten policy.
This provides a good baseline that at least 31% of Americans are fucking nuts.
I sat next to Doris Roberts at Fellowship of the Ring at Mann's Chinese theater. She ordered popcorn.
I think there's probably a serious case or modern unions pushing specific policies that hurt construction. But if so, he needed to be very clear about those policies are. Generally, unions want more construction.
Just an absolute turd who thinks that if we made everything a super-hierarchy he would somehow float to the top.
I agree that it was terrible for Biden to run again. But Tapper basically ignores the fact that the Democratic party took unprecedented action to replace Biden. He also ignores the fact that Trump is obviously mentally incompetent.
He buys the bag, doesn't touch a kernel throughout the movie and then hands to bag to his assistant as he leaves.
Nah man. That money all goes to evil developers. The only solution to unaffordable housing is ????
My conspiracy theory is that somehow there's a $3,000 gun and they don't want to admit it, but do want to still claim a large dollar value. Or hookers.
You mean the House of Representatives should have passed the Bill expanding the supreme Court. The Senate should have ended the filibuster to allow this and then voted to increase the court size. Then Biden should have signed the bill.
The thing is that business guys basically agree that we shouldn't waste money on helping poor people or enforcing tax law. So the fact that this stuff is being eliminated haphazardly is a feature.
People say capitalism allocates resources efficiently, and yet there are no Peeps that look like Arnold from T2 so that he could give you an affirming thumbs up as he sinks into your cocoa.
Are they waiting for him to get killed so they can delay deciding whether the Constitution is still a thing?
Pretty sure that if John Lennon were alive today, he'd be all MAGA and I'd have to stop listening to Rubber Soul.
Half-joke that I haven't quite cracked yet: "So many of these Libs yelling 'No Kings' were the same one yelling 'yass, Queen!' Well, which is it, people?!"
They need to understand themselves as The Good Guys and not just capitalists eliminating workers and consolidating power.
They were in on the joke, right?
Naw man. Give me that straight up Ansel Adams, Thomas Kinkade shit.
Christianity will only be a real religion when it produces a band as good as The Hives. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz1J...
They call him "The Mailman" and nobody delivered better except John Stockton who actually delivered the ball to The Mailman. So maybe he should have actually been called the mailman. But those were some great teams. Many people are saying they were better than the best team in 1996 and actually...
@jamellebouie.net and Chris Cuomo should start a podcast about corruption called "Bouie Cuomo?" just for the Latin pun.
Cinco de Mayo will be a good test case for whether we're just doing White Holidays or Boozing Holidays.
Dog snoring: OMG! He's so cute. I bet he's dreaming about squirrels. Human snoring: I will elbow you until I break a rib.
So sick of media on both sides pretending that Democratic priorities are whatever Republicans say they are. There's a non-trivial number of Trump voters who thought they were primarily saving America from trans athletes.
But you really can use the pass to set up the run.
Really looking forward to Republicans arguing that an increase in the unemployment rate doesn't count if it's government jobs being lost.
The Weihenstephan brewery, opened in 1040, would like a word.
I just love the idea that Elon is personally writing some type of money saving computer virus.
They called it the Gilded Age for a reason!
His whole career has been about showing that ideas, policies, and even the basic competence don't matter. It's just power begetting power forever.
Tesla's revenue is 25 billion a year. So causing a 2% drop in sales would be 500 million. Just trying to stay positive and believe in people power.
Listen to your local NPR news. You'll get lots of news-news. But also updates on the quilting fair two towns over. Really lowers the temperature. I've been a big fan for years Sorry to hear things are bad.
I know the Trib's gotta sell papers, but the idea that voters are going to care about a 9 month old conviction of a dude who was forced out of politics 5 years ago seems desperate.
Mrs. Supernova and I don't recognize Valentine's Day, thank you very much. We disappoint each other 365 days a year.
I think just one more Cheney would gets us over the hump.
I was so confused when my New York friends started talking about this random one hit wonder like they were The Rolling Stones. It's like how they insist that everyone should just know what a Dwayne Reade is.
What do people expect? Ds are in the minority. Rs ignore facts or reason. Ds cannot make things happen through willpower. They have to keep using the oppositional power they have while also getting their message out. Connolly is absolutely correct that this is one component of that formula.
Reminder that with one plane coming in every 2 hours and zero helicopters ever, Willard airport doesn't even need air traffic controllers.
Sooner or later everyone here has to admit: it would be super funny if we went to war with Denmark.
Let's be patient. Merrick Garland needs at least two years to carefully review the matter.
Waking up before midnight on New Year's Eve and thinking it's time to shower and get packed is peak middle-aged parent.
And depression and anxiety are at an all time high. Get those kids a keg!
Shout out to Supermarket Egg Nog: facilitating all day boozy milkshakes like a boss.
The eagles of the Kahn guide us ever towards conquest.
People confusing highly partisan with ideological left and right.
Frustrating that so many normy Republicans are committed to making it easy for him.
Congratulations from a random other person who also submitted a thesis once. High five, champion.
Today I woke up, took a 3-hour train ride to Chicago, had a huge barbecue lunch at work, got the meat sweats and took the train back. And I just got to say, I love my country.
This is amazing. We gotta Thomas Crown Affair future assassinations.
Cops definitely needed another non-disprovable reason to perform a search.
Chambana Horde ready to ride out on our stupid Veo bikes.
Live your life such that if you're assassinated, random strangers don't post this meme.
Next election I'm voting for whomever forces serialized Podcasts to finish their storylines instead of devolving into increasingly inane mysteries like low budget "Lost."
Let's not forget the ongoing crypto scam, which is definitely not going to lead to rich assholes walking away with billions of dollars and asinine arguments about what a Ponzi scheme is.
Secretary of Athletics. Primary responsibility is preventing trans people from participating.
You think the Tooth Fairy has a Wario?
