When I was a child, we imagined a day when robots would do all the work and we would relax. We didn’t understand that robots would do all the work and we’d be unemployed

MAGA outrage about male cheerleaders in Minnesota illuminates the fact that cheerleading at the professional level is ridiculous. Must 70,000 screaming fans be reminded to cheer their team to victory? The fact is this: Pro "Cheerleaders" are merely objects to be ogled, and that's anachronistic.

Many people are irresponsibly defending throwing sub sandwiches, we decided to test one and discovered just how destructive they can be when we launched it at a group of unsuspecting people we saw standing around at the park.

One thing I know for sure is that if *I* called the cops and said “some guy just threw a sandwich at me” they would consider me to be a huge baby and think I was wasting their time.

When I was a kid watching Big Time Wrestling, the bad guys would cheat and the stupid referee would never see it and the bad guys would get it away with it even though everyone in the whole goddamn arena SAW THEM DO IT. This helped prepare me for the Supreme Court of the United States.

We saw it tonight and, yeah, no. Can’t criticize it as “derivative,” as that was the idea, but stale, recycled, unfunny gags that don’t land, despite the best effort from Neeson and Anderson. Pale imitation of the original; a disappointment.

Let's be clear: Forcing Americans off Medicaid isn't about saving money for tax cuts. They don't care about saving money. It's about forcing people to work in crappy jobs in hopes of accessing health care. Your capitalism at work--low wages, maximize profit, an economic infrastructure of suffering.

Someone on X pointed out the scant coverage of Ron Johnson saying 9/11 was an inside job. The press assumes Republicans are crazy and malevolent, so when they say crazy stuff it doesn't get covered. But they assume Dems are competent & sane, so any data point to the contrary is treated as big news.
