When your “superpower” as a country is self-delusion about upward mobility it enables the status quo. Because nobody is demanding substantive change if the majority believe they’re just temporarily embarrassed millionaires, as the saying goes.
And if you feel like you're in a whirlpool You feel like going home You feel like talking to someone Who knows the difference between right and wrong

These idiots working three jobs don’t even have a meme coin but somehow they’re blaming America for their laziness?
The best solution is the one Stannis offered Renly before he killed him with (my wife’s words) the vagina smoke monster: Stannis is king, names Renly as heir ‘until Stannis has a son’. Stannis had given up on a son, this was a face saving way of naming Renly the assured heir
When another one goes I’ll put your face on that knocking grim reaper meme

I have never seen a single news article about whether or not Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer or Kristen Gillibrand need to assure Muslim New Yorkers that they're against Islamophobia and anti-Arab / anti-Asian bigotry

Dear Jesus, I hope this email finds you well,
rudy giuliani (seeing the secretary from beetle bailey having a problem with her typewriter): i need to help this woman. whatever the cost
15 years ago today I took an incredibly on-the-nose photo
Slowly building up my toddlers’ tolerance for alcohol for just this kind of scenario
Me when somebody gets zero reactions on a QT of my great tweet they should have just RTd
On the evening of August 30, 2025, in New Hampshire, Mayor Giuliani was filming an advertisement where he had to "get his hands on two sweet cans" before closing with his endorsement, "These are Rudy's Schlitz," when his burgundy 1975 Cadillac Sixty Special Brougham was struck by the entire mafia.

The Las Vegas tourism bureau has a new slogan: people who complain are stupid and can’t do math. share.google/US6NKe9yvv3j...
Besides, we got this line from Marlon Wayans, so who’s to say if this whole thing was bad or not
I woke up in the middle of one of mine. Wasn’t that bad, I was still kind of dopey
Through the magic of ‘AI’
Did a camera that goes up your ass write this
Jesus got a couple ‘spikes’, right in the wrists!!!
Is embezzlement the crime with the silliest-sounding name. The crime that sounds like Willy Wonka got improper tax write-offs for his twizzlers

Women (my wife) be turning the bathroom sink on and off 20 or 25 times before leaving the house

Wolfenstein 2 did a good job portraying what a Nazi takeover of America would have looked like

An account dedicated to making fun of communists had to go protected mode after asking for help paying medical bills
"hes probably not dead" yeah no shit! shut the fuck up! im gonna spray you with a fucking water bottle!
Another splash of gasoline for the bonfire of wishful thinking.
Don’t worry about Trump, he is in the good hands of Doctor RFK Jr
I think the funniest Star Wars thing is that between Empire and Return of the the Jedi, in the Marvel Star Wars comic, they had to pretend that nobody knew where Han was. For YEARS, they had Chewie and Lando be like ‘hmmm maybe he’s on the Glup Shitto planet, let’s go check it out’
donald trump has died
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
I stg I read it in Verbal Kint voice
he’s been laying on my foot for twenty minutes and apparently making this face
he was just trying to fill his toilet for all the diarrhea he was expecting
Was trying to find this to confirm it’s real. Turns out it’s from Threads and dril is killing it over there
Guess we’re going to get confirmation soon if my ‘there is no Trumpism without Trump’ theory is accurate
an incredible statement from a member of a court that lost its insanely partisan conservative majority because the people of wisconsin rejected them
Seems like a lot of people want to save this for future use so here’s a higher res version
Post a movie from the year you were born
Imagine being one of these guys. Tarantino sucking on your toes and shit
i notice that no one is talking about "she-hulk: attorney at law" anymore. hmm. problematic if you ask me 🙄

I think John Milius said The Warriors (film) was 'The Odyssey with cartoon characters' and that's pretty accurate
[me watching The Warriors on VHS with my brother in 1985] are those.....mimes
well first of all you have the mime gang, and then you have the Yankees mime gang
hey hey rfk how many kids did you kill today
Watching the Pod Save guys slowly be driven insane by staring into the moral abyss of a party they helped create the modern version of has been an absolutely perfect sweet spot of schadenfreude for me.
I like how this is a good and smart and thoughtful post that can be misread as an elaborate Polish joke
The market itself appears to have been designed by MC Escher
he will do regime consolidation by giving out free Dodge Chargers
That's great, as long as they leave the terrifying garage on Western open. Love to dodge cars doing 50 around 90 degree corners.
there is but you have to pay for it (Nomo Robo Max)
matty if you really believe in free speech you'd be willing to question who is the bigger threat to public restrooms
PSA
This is that bill. There isn't an elected Democrat in office today who seems to be treating our current reality like the crisis it is. It's just business as usual.
And of course, by not defending the infrastructure of the state, they will make no attempt to rebuild it
this is what makes the "dems are actually resisting to the max" types so fuckin wildly detached from reality. they're out here openly saying to the press that they don't want to obstruct trump's agenda because then voters will blame them for shit. they literally are saying we aren't resisting!
Now, Mr Freeman…. don’t go putting… the cart before the horse
So *that’s* what killed Tom Petty

We missed the easy way out: putting a band aid on a gaping chest wound
Baby brain
This country is beyond redemption.
The man looks like something the Ottomans would launch into Byzantium to start a plague.

seriously, though, trying to figure out that character's backstory would drive anyone nuts
getting out-acted by a puppet will do that to you
Robyn is absolutely right and here’s yet another example of AI whitewashing history
LaGuardia was overall one of the best politicians of the 20th Century, marred by being an Italian
do you deny you were seen with 'Chapo Trap House' in 1957???
If we're going to talk about crime we also need to consider that concerns about it have risen as more people have begun consuming short form video all the time. One video of a crime completely outweighs whatever statistics you can cite for a lot of people.
