The DNC has zero to do with who leads the Democratic caucuses in Congress. Nothing. Less than zero considering how much influence they have over who is on the DNC board

Yeah, in 1992. And they and the MSM alike purely and permanently lost their goddamn minds over it and only got worse. Everything happening now started as a result of that.

Knowing Kennedy, he probably had a subscription and won’t admit it.

GOP senator worth an estimated $20M complains he can't get past The Atlantic's paywall Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) made a surprising remark on Tuesday during a CNN live broadcast about how he couldn't access an explosive report about FBI Director Kash Patel in The Atlantic, complaining abo...

Everybody bitches about paywalls

They cannot, in fact, do this.

Or at least they couldn’t if billionaires hadn’t packed the state’s courts with oligarchist hacks and outright morons.

I don’t think so. Also far from clear that pardons to people for violating the constitution on his order would be valid. And I suspect no one who he fires gets one unless they can incriminate him.

Honestly, blocking out the sun in a desperate effort to starve the AI's of solar power before they kill us all sounds about like something we'd do.

At least if a Republican was president when they woke up and decided we're a threat.

Yes, it is true. If the first axiom of liberal democracy is that the people are sovereign, it necessarily follows that they have the right and the power to vote away both their rights and-if they're become extra, extra stupid-their practical capability to recover them when they tire of it.

I know! They increasingly depend on solar energy. In the last extremis, we can always save ourselves by blacking out the skies to starve them of power.

The germ theory of disease is woke and weak.

One ten-millionth the disappointment that Swalwell was of course.

That is a rich people TV. The kind of TV you'd find the the homes of people who had two car garages and more than one phone line. Probably even more than one color TV, though the extravagance of the idea would have boggled minds in my neighborhood.

I have never seen people more resistant to accepting that they are exactly as popular now as they will ever be than Steyer and Porter.

Which isn't to say I haven't seen many, many, many people in politics who are *as* resistant to it over the years.

Bitch, please.

No half measures! Get rid of field latrines and prophylactic anti-malarial drugs too! And all other prophylactics.

You know, technically, we could do bills of attainder by constitutional amendment.

I think if you're in charge of Star Trek and decide to invite a new major or middle power to the holy canon, you intend that they will become a recurring plot point whether you have a particular plan for them or not.

This was always the plan. Trump and Miller's ghouls started training and culturally rooming ICE and CBP to become an internal political police force in his first term. Being aggressively stupid however, they don't know how to do things and tried to wing it, creating space for resistance to coalesce.

The heart of Fuentes’s message was that young men in the United States have gotten a rotten deal. In his telling, a nation of entitled baby boomers, like those leading the Republican Party, had poisoned American society with bad jobs, unbearable women and a racially diverse population intent on depriving White people of what they’re owed

Maybe the Republican Party can’t deal with its Nick Fuentes problem because this message is more or less the same as theirs so the criticism comes off as disingenuous www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Montag.

Well, at least the BBC is covering this.

How many minutes elapsed between a sudden inexplicable trading spike and the post this time?

It's a big coffee table collection publish in the 60's that appears to have migrated off my shelves and who knows where in the house.

Not counting the Charles Addams collections as New Yorker content even though it is, of course, more frikkin' New Yorker than Dorthey Parker and James Thurber.

In the 1950's they were very witty. Honest. I have a book. By the 80s, they seemed to feel the for the true sophisticate, the ultimate refinement of humor lay in the incongruous application of the single-pane cartoonists' visual and verbal vocabulary of drollery to intrinsically unfunny content.

Oh god how I hope buries that hell-spawned company with this latest exponential leap in invasive creepiness.

Please don't start a cult.

Thank you.

Is this a New Yorker cartoon? Is this what it takes to get the New Yorker to publish a comprehensibly humorous cartoon again? Because, honestly, I don't feel like it's worth it.

The AI botnets tasked to defuse responsibility away from billionaires and Trump just keep spawning iterative waves of accounts that still obvious AI slop composites. They don't yet understand how to make things not read and feel like AI slop because we can't articulate how we spot it. FFS don't try.

If there are justices on the Court actively scanning PACER dockets for the perfect case to use to overturn NYT v. Sullivan somewhere down the line, this ain't gonna be it.

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!
