In what universe are trans people "celebrated?" Certainly not this one.
“Republicans Lie About Crime Rates to Declare Martial Law While Failing to Lower Crime in the States They Govern,” how hard is that?
For a very intense few seconds just now, I genuinely forgot how to spell “target.” The boycott is working!!!! HOLD THE LINE!!!
The United States had one of the worst COVID outcomes in the entire world from a body count standpoint. Anyone who argues with a straight face we were TOO cautious is an unserious imbecile.
thank you for coming to my big announcement that was planned for weeks and not thrown together at the last second to get ahead of speculation that my health is in decline. alabama (taking a huge huff of a mysterious gas like dennis hopper in blue velvet) is in charge of space
How is racist babby formed?
If anything, it goes back to the urban decay era of the ‘60s and ‘70s, or Prohibition, or even the birth of the modern American city
i met anubis in the realm of the underworld, big strong guy by the way, had a dog’s head, i’m not so sure about that. and he said to me, mr president, you’ve got the heaviest soul we’ve ever weighed down here. can you believe it? they’ve never seen a soul that heavy in all of duat
This is tangential but it’s interesting that you don’t find Weird Al on here by searching for Weird Al. You type his full name like yes sir Mr Yankovic, you have to show him proper respect before you may follow.
When Nate Silver continues his obsessions with the website
You can say “I like pancakes” and somebody will say “So you hate women?”
Probably got used to facebook’s privacy settings
There’s 3 strangers online that I want to like and respect me as a person, and 3 strangers online who I fantasize about feeding to jackals
Wait til you see his attempt to add a token black kid in the late ‘60s
This is hanging in my living room. Not sure what game required this sign and not sure I want to know
the horrors persist and so do my deadlines
A friend of mine acted like it was super weird I put up photos of myself in the living room den and all the common spaces and I lost so much respect for him what do you mean "why don't you put them up in your own house instead "
You ever think about how nazis were actually pretty solid at identifying art that did vs didn't align with their ideology, i.e. they loved Wagner but hated the Surrealists But modern nazis are like "WATCH MY VIDEO ESSAY ON WHY ROBOCOP PROVES WE SHOULD GIVE CHATGPT A GUN"
Obsessed with images of a giant promotional statue of King Kong that accidentally caught fire
It feels like Mamdani is running for mayor against three competing Tim & Eric sketches
cishet abled white guy melting down over “how awful this place is” because at-risk folks said, “don’t demand people prepare to sacrifice us today because of a half baked idea of what political expediency looks like in a future we may not make it to” makes me so violently angry i’m queasy.
Day 13 of trying to be hired by Andrew Cuomo
"Vote Newsom no matter who, son," just doesn't have the same ring to it
“I’ll trust any random person over the experts, I am very skeptical.”
A colloquial Swedish word for giving a confident answer to something you know nothing about is killgissa, or “guy-guessing.” Conversely, the lesser-known word tjejveta (meaning “girl-knowing”) can describe elucidating (shelucidating?) on a topic you have expertise in.
“I am no man” and whatnot
THE. ELECTION. IS. NOT. FOR. THREE. YEARS. The odds anyone will have to actually choose between him and MAGA are slim to none. Complying in advance strikes again.
do you think they still bother to teach kids about checks and balances in school lol
Shit, I’m still working up my tolerance for “it’s not that bad” liberals
We had one of these in Toronto, he was the Mayor and his name was Rob Ford
This reminds me of my father in law, who threw an enormous wobble in Tesco because all the cheese was "foriegn" and it was replacing traditional british cheeses and thats why he was voting for Brexit. He was standing in the "International Cheeses" aisle.
Refuse to be called woke by someone who talks like a Harry Potter side character having a stroke. “Noshing on a poncy porous plimsoll?” Go to a hospital.
thank you for your feedback 30 internet strangers i hadn't considered the less funny version of my joke
We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.
“Sir we need some photo from today, everyone is shitposting about your absence” “Bring me the guy who takes pictures of Bigfoot”
My students, who attend a working-class rust-belt college, openly talk abt how much they hate AI & are afraid of its consequences. I wonder how much of the oft-reported student enthusiasm for the tech is the merely result of the NYT’s Ivy League bias
Oops “But doctor, I can’t operate on this take, he’s my son!”
The fact that he goes out of his way to never mention of the name of the book he’s so angry about is such a cherry on top
you just know somebody’s being called by their full name right now
![Video Games Out of Contex... @indiegam... • 10h Undertale [screenshot that says Thousands of people wishing together can't be wrong!] ...

His next public appearance.
If I were him I'd schedule some posts to drop after I'm dead like "The lying media is saying my autopsy showed that my entire body was made of ass material! NOT TRUE!"
Truly felt I had no choice. I hope I do not miss out on any big citrus news
i don’t like the idea of the president missing. he could be anywhere. i am suddenly aware how little i appreciated opening my shower curtain knowing the president would not be standing there
It's going to be the weirdest thing watching every news network trying to sell "a nation in mourning" while Kool & the Gang's "Celebration" becomes the new national anthem.
one of the great conservative moves over the past decade has been to make themselves so unpleasant that their own family members are forced to cut them off, and then use that fact to argue that *liberals* are too uncivil
Can’t wait to joke with my friends about bespoke movies none of them has seen. Or go to the con where everyone has seen a different movie and nobody knows what the fuck anyone else is talking about or whatever thing these fucking idiots don’t understand about shared experience.
yeah, yeah, cities are cool and all, but where can I get this man's outfit?
A man is at a carnival and sees a clown making balloon animals. He asks the clown how much a giraffe would be. "Twenty bucks," the clown replies. "Twenty bucks!" the man exclaims. "Do balloons cost more than they used to?" The clown replies, "Before or after inflation?"
"What if Trump's problem was he isn't fascist ENOUGH?"
the "pranking strangers" genre feels like the intro to the "how I ended up in hospital" YT genre
Could it really be evil if it's convenient for me personally?
normal guy at a party: hey man how’s it going Charlie Kirk: I will outbreed you
Not all heroes wear capes, but some of them live mas
she looks nothing like him
Batman doing one of those things where he tries to silently exit the conversation with Police Commissioner Gordon but he’s so giant that there’s a ton of noise and pots falling over and a huge hole in the wall
I was just telling my girlfriend the other day that the old world is dying. And, my stars, the new world is struggling to be born. And now is the time when you meet such INNNNteresting monsters.
Ask an idiot robot that makes up falsehoods like 25% of the time and gets math wrong to summarize a book for you means that whoever taught you to read in the first place deserves an apology from you for wasting their time.
Finally, some good fucking news
Imagine telling someone in 1985 that this fucking asshole would be president someday
You’re right. They should be afraid to say it
Hahahaha fuck you, man
I have, I'm afraid, waded into the latest round of "state of music criticism" discourse. (Please consider subscribing to the newsletter, it's free!) tinyurl.com/46bzzwte
Mayor Brandon of Chicago responds to a question from a reporter if pushing back will make things harder? “Can you imagine if my ancestors would have had the same rationale? Let’s not fight against the Confederacy. Let’s just try to get along, and maybe one day they’ll give us our freedom?”
From your keyboard to God’s ears
Armchair analysis, but I think a lot stems from America's two party system (a consequence of the voting structure), which leads to the idea there are always only "two sides" and impartiality means treating the "two sides" equally and no one can really be critiqued unless they're on a third side.
I’m convinced no one actually sees him as the front runner except all those weirdos on this website
Goddammit, Gavin
There is no stranger phenomenon in the universe of television criticism right now than the fact that the the National Review has run multiple raves of ANDOR.
If you ever needed proof that money can’t buy taste… Can’t we get back to the ruling class funding Gaudí and Da Vinci and shit?
With the AJC dropping its print edition, I feel compelled to share one of the greatest moments in print design history
I love Dahlua, but DC fucked Alan Moore so bad on his America’s Best Comics copyrights I’d rather they not touch any of it
Sorry, he's a gay antifascist now, the people have spoken
"I’ve seen a lot of explanations for this but I think the stupidest, pettiest one is correct" might be the new Occam's Razor
At some point, we need to acknowledge that sometimes fascists co-opt things because everyone agrees they're good. Just because "family values" voters are fashy doesn't mean happy marriages are bad! Just because they're weaponizing nostalgia doesn't mean some old stuff isn't cool as shit!
We need to remember what we're fighting against, but also what we're fighting for
I'm really tired of the "everything should be sexy" / "nothing should be sexy" arguments about media. Some things should be sexy and other things should not be sexy and everyone needs to come to terms with the fact that not all things will please them, personally.
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
Because they think incivility is the worst thing about fascism and/or the only thing they can present as a “both sides” issue
🤬
Evangelical atheism is just the fallacy that if you “debunk” one religion, all the rest must be worthless in the exact same way
Can't recommend the print edition of The Onion enough...
Ah what's wrong little buddy? Why the dirty delete? Big clever dark money think tank boy like you can almost certainly defend the position you came to based on ✨vibes✨ against a bunch of people who have actually read a book one time.
One thing about being older and wiser than I once was: I miss the days when an interviewee would say "Oh, that's a good question!" and I'd think "I'm a great journalist! I impressed the talent!" instead of "Dahaha, you don't have an immediate answer, so you're stalling while you think."
Thank you for inviting me to an event about AI in movies, unfortunately that day I am busy, as I plan to spend it hitting myself with a mallet
I will strike down with great vengeance and furious anger all those who attempt to give universal healthcare to my brothers
Look, y’all really don’t have to comment on everything. If you don’t know what the fuck is going on, you can just keep going about your day.
