Stalin would be loving this
It would be really funny if Mnuchin is a producer on One Battle After Another
Sean Trende has never voted for trump in a primary or general…he’s only spent his entire career as a political analyst working to ensure republicans are elected lol
It’s a bit all over the place (particularly the first two episodes) to its detriment imo, and I have no interest in any part of the hybrid storyline. I liked the opening sequence on the ship, and Olyphant has been reliably good
Looking very healthy, sir!
Given that she’s going to the private sector, it might be better to view this as a reward for helping conservatives pass their decades-long goals rather than conceding defeat
Real sowing/reaping moment
Nice work by the editor/graphics team here
Come on lol
I take it you haven’t seen their us open line?
What does he know? 👁️
Steinmetz-Jenkins with the classic dumb guy “imagine if trump did this thing he would never do” line
“Twist in the Greenland drama”? If the NYT wanted less criticism for bad headlines, they should stop writing by headlines
Dumb people legitimately thought the guy who uses “palestinian” as an epithet to refer to a Jewish person he deems insufficiently loyal to Israel would help people in Gaza (another set of dumb people thought he would help Jewish people, for that matter)
Woke up at 4:00 am to make a 6:30 am flight for work. Thus begins my three day arc of being a morning person.
“Little precedent”?
If biden had done this, the media across the political spectrum would have called it proof he had late stage Alzheimer’s because (1) he had brazenly violated the constitution as if he were an absolute ruler and (2) signed his name in comically large font
With apologies to Matthew Rhys, the Anthropic ceo looks a bit like Matthew Rhys
Dan Bessner like one of those WWII japanese fighter pilots who were shot down on a desert island
Lmao one of the dumbest guys out there
I was thinking about it from the perspective of criticizing the media, given the relative amount of attention paid to each person’s age over the pat 1.5 years (not as a defense of Biden’s decision to run for reelection)
The funniest version of this would be trump dying in office while Biden makes it through the end of this term
Final post: this low-info voter relative tracks the Trump admin’s enactment of project 2025
This low-info voter relative and other people I’m with all just praised Gavin newsom for mocking trump fwiw
Just heard a relative who hates trump (good) but mainly blames democrats for not doing enough (bad), including Obama for not more quickly nominating a Supreme Court justice after Scalia died (what?)
Conservatism is a disease
According to the national news media, candidate age was the most important issue of the 2024 election (until Joe Biden dropped out). The winner, pictured here looking very tired and old, is wearing the hat equivalent of when an elderly person sets the text on their phone to double the size
It’s telling that RINO (though maybe not used as much these days) frames criticism at the level of the individual conservative politician (for being not sufficiently conservative for the party), whereas people across the center-left spectrum seem to direct their ire at the Democratic Party itself
Possible that winsome Earle-Sears is Windom Earle come back from the black lodge in another form?
If the partners at Paul Weiss didn’t have any problems with working for trump, you would at least expect them to be up in arms about doing it for free (the latter is especially applicable to Kirkland)
A celebrity posting dumb political takes? What is this, a crossover episode?
m.youtube.com/watch?v=hf-Y... lol
Forgot about kennedy’s concurrence in vieth. He was really a huge piece of shit
What conservatism does to someone (see also karoline leavitt)
Don’t forget (one of the) other dishonest part(s) where he talks about all of the legislative solutions at the state and federal level, which either have not been passed or rejected by partisan GOP governance. Complete unwillingness to even engage with the political-process-failure rationale.
Obviously smartmatic has to meet its burden of proof using admissible evidence to establish each of the elements of the defamation claims they’ve raised, but it’s surreal to see a print headline phrased in a way that describes one of the most basic fact of political life. Fox aided trump? Huh.
How do I pitch this as a know your enemy episode?
The show is all over the place but mostly fine so far. I’m riffing on the classic red letter media preview of Prometheus: m.youtube.com/watch?v=-x1Y... Also, the character you’re referring to is named “Boy Kavalier” (lol)
A Whiter Shade of Pale When Katie skipped the light fandango and turned cartwheels across the floor of the White House, she left Stephen feeling kind of seasick. And so it was later on the pod when Ms miller told her tale of a nation with faces ghostly that she’s less Elon’s harem than procul harum
My review of the alien earth series opener 👇
Why did the CEO send the untested hybrids on a dangerous rescue mission when they had never left the island before? Why did the crew look like they were from the 70s when everyone else dressed like they were in the future?
Why did the cyborg not save his crew member from the alien? Why did the cyborg crash land on earth when he knew the alien was on board? Why did cyborg crash land onto a city controlled by prodigy?
Why was the synthetic crew member acting so weird? Was someone infected? Did he know they were infected? Was he a pervert? Why was the ship losing fuel? Was the ship being sabotaged by prodigy? Was the ship being sabotaged by weyland-utani as a false flag?
Why was the ship gathering alien specimens? Where were they gathering specimens? Was it the planet from alien covenant? Or Prometheus? (What is Prometheus?) Why did the crew go back to sleep after eating a meal, when they had just woken up from cryo-sleep?
Why did the search-and-rescue team board the ship when there were thousands of people injured in or around the building? Why did they stay on the ship when they saw everyone aboard had died, especially when they knew the building would collapse? Why did they not radio for help when captured? Whyyyy?
Particularly if you’re a salaried employee generating revenue for the partners/owners holding equity in your employer 😇
A fairly reasonable take on will Stancil. I’m sure the comments to this post will be normal…
We might be able to convince trump to do this if we tell him his supporters would pay to join him
I don’t think the fun print headline accurately captures how dangerous or disgraceful it is that republicans confirmed a one-time lawyer and alcoholic Fox News personality as the U.S. attorney for DC, where trump has recently deputized partisan federal agents to harass a democratic-led city
He’s an utterly pathetic individual with not even a single redeeming quality bsky.app/profile/drew...
I haven’t seen proof of life of Jake Tapper, Alex Thompson, or Astead Herndon, but that’s wishful thinking on my part
Great film. Still reeling at the Fred durst reveal in the credits
My bar for conservatives is in hell, but the depravity it takes to come up with this angle, write it, and publish it is still shocking to me
A friend pointed this out but neither of these morons will fault trump for the deaths resulting from cutting pepfar/usaid because they think usaid was at worst a cia cutout and at best doing non-clandestine imperialism
TYFYS but also may I introduce you to the David Brooks Rule bsky.app/profile/ugar...
I guess Whitlock really didn’t like the piano coda to Layla. I hope I’m not speaking ill of the dead, but while I don’t have a gripe with thorn tree in the garden per se, putting it after Layla instead of letting the album end with Duane Allman’s bird call slide lick is a tragedy
Long has humanity pondered, “How healthy are peaches?” At last, the New York Times has an answer (plus NYT Cooking recipes).
If only the America-led imperialist expansion of NATO hadn’t forced Russia to attempt a war of conquest against Ukraine in self-defense
BREAKING: important scoop from the New York Times 👇
No it isn’t
I would love to ask the reporters and pundits in the Atlantic who wrote about DC’s crime problem this week whether they agree with the statement of the masked federal street thug that “liberals already ruined” this country
Trump is the most pathetic person on the planet, and that’s before getting to the fact that he’s a pedophile.
This is the video, now published bsky.app/profile/mari...
Someone just sent me a video taken an hour ago showing masked federal agents brutally arresting a delivery guy in DC, and when confronted by onlookers and told that they are ruining the country, one of the masked fascist thugs says that “liberals already ruined this country”
Sorry, michael, but the masked DHS agents loyal to the president who engaged in the street violence seen here were not responding to the precise historical conditions of inter-war Europe, therefore this is not fascism per se (dan bessner believes this)
This is a more defensible editorial decision because Layla was in fact memorably used by Martin Scorsese in one of the climactic scenes of Goodfellas (1990), but still very funny to read in this obituary of the guy who co-wrote half of the songs on Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs but not Layla
On the other hand, how did this make it past the editor? This movie came out a week ago lol
From the NYT obituary of Bobby Whitlock (RIP)…love an understated parenthetical
Still no peace agreement even though, during the 2024 campaign, trump said he would end the war with one phone call *before* he took office (but only if he won)
Justice for Brasso
Find your girlfriend before fleeing the empire once, lose your friend who saved your life on ferrix; find your girlfriend before fleeing the empire twice, miraculously survive and help spread the word about the the ghorman massacre
I’ll give him credit for helping cassian fight the KX droid (though they get saved by rebel legend Samm), but it’s very funny that wilmon does nearly same thing in palmo
Samm, the annoying Ghorman Front member who accidentally kills Cinta, is actually one of the great heroes of the rebellion, because he saves Cassian from the KX droid and does so in a way that allows it to be reprogrammed as K-2, both of whom are instrumental in obtaining the Death Star plans.
[Daniel Biss] Regime Account
There were several months in 2024 where, according to the news media, the most important issue in the presidential election was candidate age. Anyway, the winner of the election, Republican President Donald Trump, is a corrupt, authoritarian pedophile who is so old that he can’t walk straight
Pretty sure he would get nullification if he takes this to trial in DC (not legal advice)
This is pretty much where I’m at. I don’t disagree with the argument that trump thinks authoritarian aesthetics are authoritarianism, but the authoritarian intent is there; the line between the two can be thin (eg jan 6); many have capitulated already; & it ignores policies like cecot deportations
I didn’t realize spuds mackenzie took a hard right turn
I saw some posts the other day criticizing Wilhoit’s law, and I don’t really know what to say…other than current Republican President trump is a pedophile
Really sad I missed out on this CLE-accredited (including ethics!) event
fedsoc.org/contributors... lol
Interesting, I wonder which journalists (plural) the author is referring to?
It seems like this country suffered from mass covid brain fog, but the explanation is probably much more stupid and banal
Not the most relevant part, but it would be funny if trump lifted sanctions on the Russian aviation industry and Russia’s creditors seize every plane that enters the United States
All it took for people to support uchicago was for the school’s admin to threaten to end its graduate programs in the classics and other language-oriented humanities.
Radio free tom? More like brain-free tom amirite?
All conservatives are bastards
It’s pretty crazy that Republican president and pedophile Donald Trump is using the Justice department to facilitate a quid pro quo with convicted child sex trafficker ghislaine Maxwell to prevent the truth about trump’s connections with notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein from getting out
Conservatives are incredibly dumb
I know I’m going to watch this slop. I’m part of the problem (I do not, however, care about the motivations of the weyland-yutani corporation).
My leading theory to explain 2021-2025 is that the United States suffered from mass covid brain fog
Vaxxed?
RFK jr and Cheryl Hines walking out of Noma after asking the waiter whether the kitchen uses seed oils
Why adopt this framing for the article if they’re going to mention (in passing, but whatever) his many real estate failures?
I think it’s pretty obvious, in 2025, why there are people who defend the Democratic Party, and I say this as someone who often feels like a crazy person reading about things Democratic politicians do
