So…where’s Trump? Are they having trouble propping him up? Is he leaking too much?

So…where’s Trump? Are they having trouble propping him up? Is he leaking too much?
Glenn Greenwald is still out there? I’d forgotten all about him.
Why…why would you have this on your phone?!
He’s fallen in love with an Argentinian journalist.
At what point do they just go and poison him to put him out of their misery?
Giving strong late Konstantin Chernenko era vibes.
I'm going on record. You don't cover up dead. He's not dead. However, he's sick as shit. That you can cover up for a bit. But just a bit. Mostly I hope he feels like absolute shit and is very scared of death. That I can work with.
If there has to be another Bond, it should be Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
Absolutely not.
I’m really surprised how much the quality of SNW has dropped this year. It’s the biggest drop off between a second and third season that I can recall since…Star Trek:TOS.
The fast version of We Will Rock You! Followed closely by Flash’s theme.
"hes probably not dead" yeah no shit! shut the fuck up! im gonna spray you with a fucking water bottle!
maybe he’s getting ready to somersault out of the white house like willy wonka
When Fox News starts playing Swan Lake on endless repeat, we’ll know.
Last year, we moved from the Twin Cities to Greece due to America’s slide into authoritarian violence. Life here is much better, and I have no regrets. The worst part of exile is watching the horror unfold from afar, but we aren’t really any more powerless to stop it here than we were in America.
I fixed the Cracker Barrel logo if anyone is interested! #illustration #branding
Lovely song…as long as you don’t listen to the words! “I had a taste of the real world/when I went down on you girl”
“The money we got back didn’t live long…fortunately.”
Gotta hand it to the Trump regime—they keep finding new and creative ways to utterly embarrass America.
Nostalgia is a toxic impulse but also I miss the time when tech trends were things like "let's put everything in a translucent colored plastic case" instead of "let's add software to everything that lies and also accelerates climate change"
“The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them." -Brian Eno
I bet he'd hate if this side-by-side went viral.
It always bothered me that this movie was exactly Braveheart But In Rome.
and people always told me be careful of what you do don't go around breakin' young girls' hearts (hee-hee) and mother always told me be careful of who you love and be careful of what you do cause the lie becomes the truth hey-ey!
Slightly diminish a band: Fleetwood Quarter Pounder With Cheese
The only place in DC where crime is up is the White House.
Huh. Dying for one’s own glory seems a lot less glorious than dying for others’ sins.
Yeah, that’s *crazy.* The whole point of a constitutional amendment is that it can change any of the pre-existing rules. How can there possibly be any exceptions to that?
Acid wash jeans!
As a former special ed lawyer and school psychologist, the idea of AI going anywhere near an IEP is absolutely horrifying.
Me: The rack? You're going to torture me with boobs?? Maybe after that i can suffer the Thighs lmao Medieval torturer: See it's this kind of thing that got you here in the first place
The giant worm in RFK Jnr's brain chasing down his last firing neurons...
I love Israel. I hate what Israel is doing to the Palestinians in Gaza. The cognitive dissonance is really hard to navigate.
RFK JR Announces He Will Just Go Door-To-Door Killing People To Save Time
That’s the face of a man who will never do another town hall.
Nextdoor was a significant impetus in my decision to leave the US. Seeing what my actual, honest-to-god neighbors in my bucolic little suburb really thought and believed? Holy shit, I had to get out of there!
I just love that the show solved the mystery of what caused the Bronze Age Collapse in its first five minutes!
All credit to my ex (we connected initially over our mutual distaste for anything by ALW) who commented vis-a-vis Phantom of the Opera that “it should have been called ‘Incel in the Basement” and I’ve never heard a better/more concise burn of a musical.
I quit two law jobs because I wasn’t comfortable representing the sleazy clients. I don’t regret either move at all. The most important part of being a lawyer for me was feeling that I was making the world a little better by being on the right side of my cases.
Yup!
Trump's dreaming up inaugurating the new ballroom with a right-wing version of Cabaret, with the finale being sung triumphantly ("Life IS a cabaret!"), Sydney Sweeney bringing down the house with "The Future Belongs to Me," and Stephen Miller playing the Emcee.
oh my god
SNW is *really* conservative in a lot of ways, from its aggressive nostalgia, to its paternal white guy captain, to the handling of the Gorn (going from ‘maybe we just don’t understand each other’ to ‘sometimes you’ve just got to kill them all’), to the representation issues discussed in the article
Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?
God, that would be the funniest thing ever. Totally worth the ensuing civil war.
Isn’t the doctrinal through-line between Bush v. Gore and now, “heads we win, tails you lose?”
Please enjoy this Klimt Eastwood
Good article! It would be great if somewhere in there you could mention which platforms the game runs on.
Apparently he also did a 10-day solo flight around the world, so…yeah.
She’s the next James Bond.
The Ellisons are calling other people elitists now?
The Twin Cities and Dallas-Fort Worth are cousins of each other, both with a state fair and differing levels of passive aggressive blondes, connected by a ranch dressing pipeline that is disguised as "I-35"
IDK who needs to know this but... You can sing the Sesame Street song "Rubber Ducky" but change the first line to "Motherfucker, burn in hell" and it works PERFECTLY
Tom Lehrer’s Nature of Math class. 😢
I love the newer AC games, because the best part of AC is being able to explore an interesting time/place, meet historical figures, and have period-appropriate adventures. I loved getting lost in the worlds of Origins and Odyssey. But yeah, I could do without the whole assassins/templars thing.
Holy cow! Any chance this tour might someday make it to Greece?
Drives me fucking nuts every time I see it. “How dare you people not learn the lesson of the Holocaust?”
However, if the hero takes off your glasses and looses your hair, you’re suddenly very hot.
Hello. I am a villain in a thriller. I am extremely intelligent and methodical, always several steps ahead of the police. I will repeatedly call the protagonist and taunt him, and at least once will say, “we are not so different, you and I.”
Thank you!! This has always bothered me!
Love this.
Hulk Hogan died, huh? Oh well, pity about Ozzy Osbourne.
I’m so sorry.
I’d never heard of the guy, but I’m more than happy to block him today.
Throwing Muses - University! Bright Yellow Gun, Start, Hazing, Shimmer are sheer perfection.
Do French people call the little animals ferrays?
This may be the best analogy I’ve ever seen.
The people dating Grok are an exciting new breed of stupid. Imagine watching Star Trek and your key takeaway is wanting to fuck Lore.
Peter Lorre, Steve Buschemi, Joel Grey, and Brad Dourif were all hall of fame weird li’l guys, too.
I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.
I wrote about how the Everglades experiment fits into the history of concentration camps in the US and abroad, and how it will connect a domestic network of camps to an international one. We’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network.
I like to think that she lured the Death Star straight to Yavin because she didn’t want to sacrifice some other entire planet just as a decoy.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
I’ll watch it if Phoebe Waller-Bridge is the new Indiana Jones.
*entering a bank holding a snake eating itself* EVERYBODY BE COOL! THIS IS OUROBORY!
Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.
Sanitation
There will never, ever be a more memorable post-murder quip than “Here is Sub Zero, now Plain Zero!”
“Here is Sub Zero, now Plain Zero!” or I’m out.
Is this another one of those movies where the only Black man in the whole movie is the villain? Anyway, I hope they manage to work “Here is Sub Zero, now Plain Zero!” into the script.
Tough choice, but I’d be really happy with either A or C.
"Of course, there's a lot of misery. But it is the same misery that is all around us. The trees here are in misery, and the birds are in misery. I don't think they sing. They just screech in pain." --Werner Herzog
Do Ya Think I’m Nazi #RightWingRod
Lyrically, this song is the gift that just keeps on giving. “She wanted it hard, she wanted it fast, she liked it medium rare!”
"The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green." Happy Lottery day to you and yours.
Things would have been much better if the Minoans had conquered the Mycenaeans instead of vice versa?
Kingpin
It's incredibly powerful and heartbreaking, but he gives a tremendous amount of hope at the end. Hopefully rather than just depressing people, it will inspire us to take action.
What a beautiful thing to do!
It’s not! They’ve shown two seasons, the third will air this July, and they have committed to two more seasons after that (though the 5th season will only be 6 episodes). *Then* the show will end.
By far the best naked lady space vampire zombie movie ever made!
My fear is that it’d be like Jon Stewart, who very much belonged to a particular time that has passed, and he’s now just a sad, shadowy reminder of what once was, without much relevant to say about the present.
Quick! Activate the Apple Signal! Only Tim Cook can save us now!
