He's gonna say BEHOLD THE MUSHROOM OF DESTINY

The Youngs would simply not believe how much shittier our shitty Dem electeds were in The Before Time. Like, I feel like a crazy person when I say "Obama was our Reaganesque pivot point and the Democratic Party has never been as cohesive and left-susceptible as it is today," and yet...

What I Learned About Billionaires at Jeff Bezos’s Private Retreat For the richest men on Earth, everything is free and nothing matters.

"If you’re looking for a sign from God as to whether hanging out with the richest man on Earth is right for you, pay attention when he sends you not one plague, but two."

Holy shit Noah Hawley is good (and this very clearly demonstrates that he understands the Alien assignment).

The way liberals worship Obama (despite all the imperialist bombing and bank-bailing-out) and the way authcoms worship Lenin, Stalin, and Mao (despite all the massacres and repression) are two sides of the same coin.

Meanwhile Boots DeSantis is the only rat dumb enough to be begging permission to board the sinking-and-on-fire ship

I still associate it with NYPD’s whole aura of fear thing during BLM summer, lo those many years ago

Em dash do or die, I’m not letting the clankers take my punctuation bae away from me

Revenge is a dish best served smothered and covered

And we’ll still need to do the glup shitto basic science to get there so it’s not like the drug companies and academic research centers can just empty the labs of scientists.

True. But AI is actually pretty good at drawing inferences and detecting patterns across vast data sets, so while I’m generally pretty cynical about AI that could prove one of the few actually valuable use cases.

Before being admitted to the first X-Men movie you will be required to read all of The Phoenix Saga, God Loves, Man Kills and HoX/PoX, pass a test on the material and name any 300 mutants in the Marvel Universe from memory

This Is Just To Say

I have turned off
the AI features

Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying

*CLOUT-farming damn you autocorrect

Me yelling at the scale every morning

And you’re fixating on an extremely narrow slice of the greater Democratic coalition that was almost certainly not a determinative factor in 2024 because, I assume, they’re a neat proxy for the annoying lefties you (and Booker, for centrist-count-farming reasons) wanna left-punch.

When my mom died someone had just given me a Mighty Mighty Bosstones tape, which I, precious dipshit who pretended to enjoy experimental industrial type music, turned my nose up at, but one track on that tape, The Impression That I Get,” became my Ugly-Crying-on-Long-Drives anthem

whats so crazy to me is the only job that chatbots could actually eliminate right now is ceo, every company could save millions today right now by replacing their ceo with a computer program that just parrots what other ceos say

Chat is it good when your PR flacks are putting it out there that you'll be performing religiosity to paper over your blasphemies

Tanned, rested and ready

Obama’s position is correct. All pizzas matter.

The other defense is "More babies (okay, more White babies, really) have been conceived to 'Like a Prayer' than any other song in history" but I'm not sure that's quite enough. Genuinely banger song though. The rest, to me, is '80s shitpop dross.

Good ol' Tommy Thompson, White Wisconsin's racist grandpa, was able to rally some lynchmobs of Posse Comitatus types to the lakes and rode the publicity to the governorship, but in the end even the most psychotic of rednecks didn't want toxic tailings in their fishing spots

Takes me back to the 1980s battle over the Anishinaabe's clearly-delineated treaty rights to spearfish in Northern Wisconsin, which was a proxy battle over Rio Tinto Zinc's ambitions for the region. The striking thing is there isn't even any popular constituency in favor of extraction

It shocks me how many businesses still don’t seem to get that Trump’s cultural revolution did not actually happen

We call ourselves the Greatest City in the World but we’re a trashy town, just throwing our garbage on the curb for the rats to feast on. As Lou Reed said, “I’ll take Manhattan in a garbage bag with Latin written on it that says: ‘It’s hard to give a shit these days’”

Shouldn’t have had that roadkill tartare for breakfast huh Bobby

This echos the old Cold War argument for American-style capitalism, which was persuasive enough to many when the options were presented as “bread lines or Coke AND Pepsi (but no unions)!” The social contract has since broken down in a way that’s visible and tangible to most Americans.

Why men would never

I like to imagine that Zohran Mamdani, Socialist African-born Muslim, was literally willed into existence by the collective psychosis of the Tea Party GOP over Obama, like the ectoplasm under NYC in Ghostbusters II

US views of Israel, Netanyahu more negative in 2026, especially among young adults | Pew Research Center Views of Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu have grown more negative among U.S. adults, with majorities under 50 in both parties rating them poorly.

And they’re not a monolith! In fact, 60% of American Jews disapprove of Israel’s conduct! And Jews have been some of the biggest organizers of and participants in the movement against the war on Gaza! www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...
