Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “The Texas gerrymander freak out. What’s happening in Texas is not a threat to democracy.”

Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss. The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it.”

The Washington Post Editorial Board was fine with Republicans gerrymandering in Texas.

But when Democrats responded in Virginia, it’s a “power grab” that “plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss.”

Worth repeating today:

SOVIET CONSCRIPT 1: Holy shit. It’s Hitler’s dog!

SOVIET CONSCRIPT 2: How can you tell?

HITLER’S DOG: Hitlersdog. Hit-Hit. Hitlersdog.

SOVIET CONSCRIPT 2: Oh. Right.

Repeat after me:

I am not cooler than Jill Biden.
I am not cooler than Ed Balls.
I am not cooler than Junji Ito.
I am not cooler than Halimede.

But if I stand back and watch and learn,
I will be cooler than I am.

I fly more than most, I have George Clooney status on an airline, and when I’m past security, I’m free for 90 minutes to 17 hours.

It’s a kind of modern magic.

Arriving late? How dare you. You miss out on Hudson News and Bobby Flay Burger and 915am room temperature Chardonnay.

How could you?

Youve Been Passed The Virtual Joint!

I wonder how life could be if we could let go of all of the fear

I just got off the phone with the Bureau of Curses and they said they Kennedy Curse is actually us being cursed with certain members of the Kennedys not the family being cursed 😞

Folks, if every last news outlet pulled out all the stops like they did for Biden Old, Trump would be out in a week, tops.

We all know that the media has the power to swift boat anyone they want.

They are choosing not to do this to Trump *because they have been on his side the whole time*.

Goku: This Sparrowhawk guy seems strong!

Ursula K. Le Guin: Yes, he was quite strong, but strength meant nothing compared to his foolishness.

Goku: Wow.

“but old dead British people used to say that shit all the time” is not a defence against a claim of bigotry

I get that people will read point 1 and go “yes, people will have to rally around my preferred candidate.”

But it actually means exactly what it says. Whomever Democrats nominate, someone will have to hold their nose and vote for a person they didn’t want in the primaries.

Tough. Do it.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Seems like the Strait of Hormuz is only open when the stock market is.

Joe Rogan is standing directly behind Trump in the Oval Office

I've said this before, but I'm never going to forgive anybody who spent months yelling about Joe Biden for a debate performance and then going radio silent when shit like this happens every other day. Fuck this stupid country and I hope Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson get measles

saturday is just objectively the best day

A child appears to be unconscious on a hospital bed. Subtitles read "Your son tested positive for cannibis"

It's the freakin weekin

He was already on it. The mission was the most perilous David "Judge" Beaumont had accepted since he transferred from the LSPD to the Feds. It was not a barricaded suspect, active shooter, bomb threat, or even Arch Linux

MULDER: The Director of the FBI wants us to investigate a disease where he wakes up with headache, upset stomach and a wet bed
SCULLY: Mulder, I think he's just hung over
MULDER: Sounds like you haven't heard of a little thing called the Tijuana Blues

i once passed out in my bed and couldn’t be woken up when interpol (the band) showed up at the punkhouse i lived in after i had invited them, but, in fairness, i was a call center agent, not the director of the FBI

just say “Volk,” Cenk, this is taking forever

First day as an infrastructure engineer at Bluesky. They let me put a piece of bologna in the CD drive and nothing bad has happened so far
