China had 95% fewer deaths but they had an actual quarantine and did things like deliver food and medicine door to door. We'll have a bloody revolution before our government admits it could do that

The problem is that white people are terrified of Black and brown people.
Like how many people do you think have asked chatgpt to run their business? It's not zero. What's it like when your whole life is auto complete? It's exciting in a certain way that all the 80/90s discourse about TV dumbing everything down is suddenly relevant again
I saw some reddit speculation that some Sabrina Carpenter merch was ai generated. There's not a ton of money to be saved there so I feel like somebody doesn't want to do the actual business stuff of talking to people. Should managing a pop star brand be a turn key business? Apparently
Sure why not
Also one horse has like five horsepower
Today in kremlinology: he had a stroke, maybe he's wearing the hats to hide other brain intervention signs
It's funny being so trained in his vocab. The man has never said in other words
Depressed and alienated? Have you considered letting warhammer fill your entire mind?
As a friend recently put it: the venn diagram of people who assured us the gun violence was worth it because we need the guns to protect ourselves against a tyrannical federal government and the people cheering on Trump as he deploys the military to take over American cities is a circle
Govt tries to deport kids in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend, advocates get temporary restraining order, judge asks the govt to file a brief explaining why they're allowed to do this and show some evidence for their claims, they say uh we need a week
One of the weirdest statements you will ever read.
I dunno, maybe. Will they have scrolling on the phone there?
I used to hang out with smokers and I appreciated the context change of stepping outside. Sometimes you need a break
Marlon Wayans I was not familiar with your game.
Schism time in bear church over whether you need to confess to a bear priest
Imagine two 5th-gen fighters pin you in a taxiway as they tie you down to the edge lights, taunting and calling you a 3rd-gen despite being a 4+. Powered-down due to the high-altitude high-temp conditions, you're so humiliated as they hook a start-cart up to you despite having a modern JFS.
I submit that Lot did not eat box.
I saw some posts about protests in Indonesia. It's interesting to me how anglophone media has a particular blind spot for that part of the world. 280 million people live in that country and we hardly hear anything.
This is a really nice looking pie
Woah I hope your senator hears about this
The thing about conservatives who say they’d never end a family relationship over politics is that, like every other thing they say, they’re lying.
The real innovation of the dotcom era was in law. PayPal takes deposits but is not a bank, Amazon did retail sales but didn't charge sales tax, etc. Now these companies are too big for the government to handle
I was reading a thing about how conservative beef with the Smithsonian derives partly from the belief that they're hiding evidence of biblical giants (also obviously the racism but the giants thing is the opening gambit). It's hard to grapple with
Alright last call for takes on this one wrap it up
an inside source at the white house just revealed to the daily beast that donald trump broke his neck and died while trying to suck his own dick
To them cars are just unruly snowmobiles

Yeah, peeling off the protective plastic really is satisfying Wait Aaaaaah 😱
standing on our balcony yelling down to each boy and asking him “what news”
I'll definitely die in a freak accident, but not like a *freak* accident iykwim

Happy Labor Day weekend!
There's no metaphor for crushed optimism like bad figs

Pediatric cancer research funding has always faced an uphill struggle because grant reviewers say it's a lot of resources for a small patient population, but it's really grim to just shut this off
I got an NYT push alert about Taylor Swift getting engaged, but not about the United States spying on Greenland
its just fascinating that all the sensor information on the ISS is publicly available
Interesting guy I met him at gencon one year he was pitching a new card game
Gotta say it's not encouraging seeing the professionals on r/medicine freaking out over how they'll get their kids vaccinated next year
*inflates you making you big and suddenly round*
I bet when rfk jr walks into a hospital he starts internally monologuing like taxi driver
Tariffs have come for my frozen samosas :(
The woke science of health disparities research of the type that's been recently obliterated had shown that living within a quarter mile of a highway makes your kids much more likely to have asthma. Mitigating this would help everyone but we might as well replace e pluribus unum with fuck them kids
Fancy an all-you-can-eat salmon buffet? Then head on over to Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska. It's the salmon run season right now, and the waterfall is absolutely swarming with bears. They've all gotten so chubby from feasting. 🐻🧸 Yummy.. #nationalpark #bears #salmon #wildlife
this is very much the classic role ICE/INS have served since their inception as facilitators of modern slavery. The original version was border farmowners would broker agreements with local INS officials to have their laborers arrested and deported right before wages were due.
not even a bit sometimes i'll just take a slice of bread and hold it underneath running tap water for a few seconds. yummy :)
OH MY GODDDDD
Nw The Story of Film, on prime. A lot of study of film stuff is too self serious or over analyzed, but this breezes through influences and references so quickly it's easy to stay with the idea of what makes people enthusiastic
I would think it would be bigger news that like twenty countries said they would simply stop shipping packages to the US? Like that seems like a big deal? The hobbyist subreddits are figuring out what it all means
Like there's no one in front of a tv camera who grasps the power dynamic
American political education is not up to the task of this moment. People are still bamboozled by small government rhetoric, and now they're trying to figure out what it means when the govt takes ownership in Intel. It's not socialism dudes
Isaac Chotiner interviewed Biden's close friend and last ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, and in the interview Jack Lew explicitly defends Israel killing children. Lew's defense of this is so offensive that Isaac Chotiner interrupts him twice and then says outright that he's wrong.
You sound pretty excited to be the new Vichy party
Drive the care out of large hospitals and then laden small providers with increasingly expensive and unnecessary equipment regulations. Welcome to the anti abortion playbook.
One of my first Twitter mutuals who showed me so much kindness since we met in 2018. May his memory be a blessing. www.legacy.com/us/obituarie...
In the game rules, tank treads are not good melee weapons. In the stories, having a guy do something is more compelling than someone at a distant console pushing a button
I’m sorry but I’m bucketing the Cracker Barrel crisis under “muh heritage.” The oil company wanted to sell more gas!
I assume that if I tried to refer to people in Quebec not as Americans but as *Latin* Americans, there would be at least a pause for genuine confusion before they kicked my ass
In this clip, Rory says “Labour MPs put their careers on the line to stop (Old Jezza) becoming Prime Minister”, a thing that up until last year was an absolutely deranged conspiracy theory, but has now become an obvious fact, somehow without anyone having been wrong about anything at any point.
There's a chipotle subreddit where people complain how the workers don't scoop enough ingredients for their burrito. They insist they're never going back, then they trade tips on how to get better scoops
BirdCast forecasts for the next several nights have hundreds of millions of birds predicted to be on the wing, especially in central & eastern states. Turn off all unnecessary lights at night and check your favorite hotspots for new birds in the day! #birds #fall #migration #LightsOutForBirds

Who up trying to one shot my limbic system?
CRYPTKEEPER: Wait just a TICKET. If I let you leave without a scary story, now would that be FARE? Here's one that gets RAIL frightening, about a dark and stormy night, the kind where you just might get caught in the TRAIN. That's right - the bone chilling tale of AN ADULT MAN WHO RODE THE SUBWAY.
CPD got called to an office where ICE was detaining people without warning, and officers instinctively took the side of ICE + helped them ferry detainees out of the building past protestors to vans waiting to bring them to detention facilities, despite city and state laws prohibiting collaboration.

You're right Nyarlathotep is a pretty name for a girl
The ability to deport someone to a third country gives these freaks massive leverage to extract concessions - which for now merely means seeking a guilty plea - from tens of millions of people who are here on visas or without documents.
One day we won't have to read about him again
Per my mother, a retired nurse, who never otherwise opines on these things: she says with complete confidence Trump is in congestive heart failure, his circulation sucks, his kidneys are shitting the bed processing the backlog of fluid retention, he's on IV therapy everyday, it is incurable
One thing I enjoy about British shows is they'll reference places in the UK like I'm supposed to have opinions about them. Oh you're going to the cotswalds? That's surely something. Is that more like new Jersey or Iowa?
And “AIDS funds,” means money for medicines that keep people from dying of AIDS. Russell Vought—devout Christian—seeks to withhold these drugs from millions of men, women and children.
"But when we systematically looked at all these posts, a broader trend emerged: The larger the Black share of the population, the more a city was mentioned alongside the phrase “voter fraud” in the aftermath of the 2020 election..."
We’re still having discussions about how Zohran Mamdani is a “socialist” because he wants to open one state-run grocery store, meanwhile the US government now controls 10% of Intel. I find this super amusing.

Just listened to trashfuture about American vs Chinese car industries and there's a lot of interesting details but we're so cooked we can't even imagine having a five year plan lol
I’m sorry or you’re welcome
People are dunking on this gal, but remember she fought for your right to pound 7 IPA's and drive through a school zone.
It’s Friday again, hurrah! This week the theme is…sharp. So let’s see blades, swords, daggers etc. As usual I’ll repost the lot and if you like something, share it! #Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday

Fun fact heritage and other similar groups have been running rehearsal constitutional conventions for years so that playbook is locked and loaded
My enemies are in power but my other enemies are also suffering so who is to say if it is good or bad or not

"Omg did you hear they made Cracker Barrell wok-" you bolt awake in the mountains of Carthage. You are not online. It is 217 BC. You are the general Hannibal, and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. Rome must burn
