No Sicilians were consulted.
I come here to post about video games and board games and end up getting worked up over politics. Myrmecophagidae on Xbox, Nintendo, BGG. He.

This is one of my all-time favorite moments in Conservatives Being Very Serious People. What on Earth is he going to do with that piece of wood? It's not even enough for a birdhouse.
This is every sign on the outskirts of Las Vegas.
I guess they looked at the saying, "it's not the crime, it's the cover-up," and thought, hey, let's just do crimes publicly, then!
Seems like, if you're serious about dismantling the operation, and you have eyes on the boat, you want to follow it to wherever it's going and arrest everyone involved wherever these drugs change hands, maybe get some information out of them.
Look, I know it's a lot easier to simply reprint a press release, but maybe you guys should've called at least one (1) lawyer to find out if this is a war crime and maybe put that in the headline.
Who is this voting bloc Jeffries is trying to appeal to whose main problem with the military occupation of U.S. cities is that it's too partisan?
And of course, you can just claim we haven't done enough testing to really know if it's safe. And vaguely suggest we're being lied to about safety.
I'm not even sure they would accept a vaccine with 0% side effects. They'd just invent a new reason to be against it.
Right, my point is that antivaxxers use this soft language to avoid defining metrics, because of course they don't actually have any for their claims, nor would they ever accept vaccines as being safe. They will just always want them "safer," with "more testing," moving the goalposts to infinity.
I think Trump's going to have some trouble staying in corporeal form beyond 2028.
"Safe" is a word you can throw around to sound reasonable despite it having no concrete meaning, because who doesn't want vaccines to be safe. You're not anti-vax, you just want them to be "safer." Is there a metric for that? Who cares! I just want more testing! What is "more"? Who cares!
I love how the article repeats Trump's claim that Chicago is the "most dangerous city in the World, by far," and then never bothers over 36 paragraphs to fact-check this absurd and easily debunked claim. Or to even mention Chicago's size.
Not to be confused with Denny's Coachella Skillet.
Linear time is DEI.
We could probably have Jagger children as president for like 150 years straight.
Can someone send the National Guard to my house? My lawn needs to be mowed and one of my gutters needs to be re-pitched.
As always, a Pulitzer Prize is just sitting there waiting for the first journalist willing to just say to one of these people, "What the fuck are you talking about?"
Be Mine
Hey, the election's over a year from now!
Why is it called Jaws when it's about an entire shark?
Just looking at his face, I suspect he had at least one stroke during the Biden years.
This seems pretty garbage plate-adjacent, so as a Rochestarian, I heartily approve.
Stepmom Sparkle sounds like a My Little Pony.
People need to learn that "skeptic" means "requires evidence," not "refuses to accept evidence."
Always a good idea to release a statement that invites people to Google "[your name] + domestic violence."
Grok is this true?
It's weird to be mean to a toaster, but it's also weird to be nice to a toaster. I'm not going to say please and thank you to my toaster.
But on the other hand: youtu.be/1XYoduQMAjU?...
Is the plan here to put Palestine on the blockchain? Wtf is this?
I went to the supermarket and the only kind of bread they had was pronouns.
My non-GMO daughter.
Hard to think of an argument more compelling than "give me a Nobel Peace Prize or I'll kill you."
I feel like we're probably not that far away from our first ChatGPT mass shooting.
This is a great bit! Condolences.
Get ready for some TMNT x Hello Kitty toys in 2032.
This looks like it was lit by David Fincher.
It's hard to imagine an easier job than being a Reasonable Centrist pundit. Just write some version of "Democrats should be Republicans" over and over and over.
Warned? Or promised?
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Tom Clancy's Secrets
The debate should just be someone saying, "trans people are people," and punching Yglesias in the face, and then an ad for Hello Fresh.
We taught the computer how to read. Now, if only we could get it to stop killing people.
Wait, is the argument here that the fact that AI talked someone into committing suicide is a counterpoint to the argument that it's useless as a therapeutic tool?
Jeremy Piven fights dinosaurs in Vietnam definitely sounds like a movie pitched by AI.
Should be perfectly appropriate to have a bot attend in your absence, and then have a bot write it up, and then we'll all have our bots read it, and then our bots will tell your bots how much they liked it.
"Now Andy, you know I love a good Souls-like." "Mhmm." "I love to parry." "Yup." "HOWEVER..."
I was really confused by the picture of a bunch of Babybel cheese for a second.
Me when the McDonald's ice cream machine isn't working.
I'm offended that there's even bold and italics. Putting AI in Notepad is like putting Wi-Fi in a pair of sweatpants.
lol that's the name of my fantasy baseball team. I guess Yahoo! is a little more relaxed about these things.
I mean, he's half right.
I wonder if there's a precedent in history for an underdog country defeating a global superpower in a war.
Probably so Grok could look at it to find "fraud."
Looking forward to All U.S. Citizens v. This Motherfucker.
Do Sandwiches Feel Regret? Delis grapple with one of the most unsettling questions of our times
Eugenics is when you exercise bodily autonomy.
I know brevity is important to headline writers, so I wonder if there's a single word they could have used instead of "despite judge ruling." Maybe an adverb of some sort.
I knew it was a mistake for Obama to have a Styrofoam-powered jet.
"Two weeks" has become "two to three weeks"? He's showing signs of weakness!
Only until you hit your -$50,000 deductible.
Does she ask the obvious follow up: "so does that mean you do endorse Mamdani?"
Fox News. Glenn Beck.
In all these years of Trump saying, "a lot of people are saying," has a journalist ever asked him who is saying it?
Winner of the Craig T. Nelson award for self-unawareness.
He honestly does not know if he's running a country or a company, so he's out here making acquisitions.
Is there a Nobel prize for lack of self-awareness?
Skinning a cat is grotesque and you should be in prison if you do it!
Still somehow taking up two parking spots.
Proposals that could vaguely be described as "socialist" get, at most, one shot to either immediately be successful or forever be considered impossible. Trickle-down economics, however, has been going for 50 years without the promised results, but the jury's still out on that one.
Came here to post this.
Do you not remember Kamala's campaign slogan: End Microaggressions Against Unhoused Chest-feeding Birthing Persons Who Identify as Latinx?
Quick question: how much new territory did Germany and Japan add in these negotiations?
Just inventing a deranged hypothetical so he can smugly imply that actually it's unreasonable leftists who are to blame for Trump ending Democracy. Some Yglesias level bullshit.
Hypothetically. If a talking alligator threatened to eat your face unless you wrote a series of sonnets that imagine your mother's left and right butt cheeks as starcrossed lovers separated by a sea of farts, would you write the poems?
...about how to reduce crime. All while never once mentioning that it is bad for a president to turn the military on American citizens and occupy American cities. Just a masterclass in terrible messaging.
It is also impossible to tell from Jeffries' answer what Trump plans to do in Chicago and why it is bad. And even while arguing that we shouldn't let Trump manufacture a crisis to serve as a distraction, he implicitly accepts the premise that crime is out of control and goes on a little spiel...
"Continue to support local law enforcement" definitely sounds like a talking point cooked up in a lab to avoid accusations that Dems are soft on crime, as if there is anything they could possibly do or say that would get Republicans to not call them soft on crime.
Will there be as many think pieces about the Cracker Barrel logo freakout – which has been boosted by multiple Republican members of Congres – as there were about the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad, which only, like, a few random posters cared about?
Epic. Trump thinks he's going to shut Jack White up? A seven nation army couldn't hold him back!
My "the country's most notorious child sex-trafficker says I'm a great guy" t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.
Is that what it means to give your life to Christ?
Yeah, devils with cinnamon fried apples!
Love to scroll my feed and peruse the thoughts of over 30,000 people.
Did Donald Trump just invent taxes?
Ask Ronald Reagan.
I love people who are like, "vote blue no matter who in the Democratic primary."
It does not occur to these guys that they could ever be the subject of mockery.
My daughter was in a bad mood, so I let her beat me at Ticket to Ride, and now we don't have fair elections anymore.
But John Roberts assured me that the Voting Rights Act is unnecessary because racism ended.
Watching a 45-minute YouTube video that explains what my tattoo means and still not understanding it.
The way that brands have been shortening and simplifying their names, it's inevitable that they will soon be just Crack Bar.
Which would be an act of war, correct?
I can't imagine telling another adult human, let alone a head of state, to behave.
Miller, meanwhile, only looks like he's over 90 years old.
But I was told by very smart Democratic party strategists that public opinion is an immutable force that politicians must simply conform to.
Is this before or after they build the Dyson sphere to power the data centers?
Famously, there are no baseball teams on the east coast.
Just your average mid-generation price hike. Very cool to be living in such normal times.
Beautiful.
Yeah, if they continue growing by 50%/day, then every person on Earth will be a Shaker by mid-October. So I guess I have to find out if Shakers are allowed to watch baseball or go trick-or-treating.
