I have a machine sitting in my driveway that can do a half marathon in under 10 minutes and it was built in 2015

Gotcha, makes more sense that way

So there’s never been a second round or later sweep? Interesting

A large segment of the US population was on the verge of riots because they couldn’t get dine-in buffalo wings for, like, two months

Can you imagine how people would respond to rationing literally anything

He also had a porn stache at the time IIRC

And then Linda went to work for him

Troy Murphy’s Golden State Warriors tenure (2001-07)

We have limited time and attention and Ezra Klein essentially argues that we need to give people extra attention *because* they’re “controversial,” and it quite literally couldn’t be further from the truth.

Another South Korean fad I'd love to import is throwing streamers and corrupt presidents into prison

stan marsh from south park is holding a stick and saying " again " Alt: stan marsh from south park is holding a stick and saying " again "

feels like we are doomed to constantly relive a cycle of:

credible accusations of sexual misconduct ➡️
implying accusers have ulterior motives ➡️
minimizations/non-denial denials (no crimes, just mistakes) ➡️
this dude is irreplaceable/essential (& worth more than women's autonomy & dignity) 🤦‍♀️

The creation of a mythological National Review (high-minded, intellectual, virtuous conservatism) despite the wide availability of the real, continually publishing National Review (reactionary, chortling bigotry with a good vocabulary) is a load-bearing fiction in our political system.

the problem that the corrupt clowns who are running the government are now running into is that the president is not capable of understanding when he has asked them to do something that is actually impossible

and obsequious flattery is no longer sufficient to get them out of failure to deliver

A good reminder you don’t “gotta hand it to”
chuds like Massie bc they occasionally stumble backwards into the right position

I married way out of my league and being a good cook and an active listener was probably like 75% of it

I mean yea but also, imagine making a “deal” with a notorious conman and expecting he would honor it once he got what he wanted

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Trump Officials Celebrated With Cake After Slashing Aid. Then People Died of Cholera. Behind closed doors in Washington, top advisers made a series of decisions that had devastating repercussions for the poorest country on earth. We went to South Sudan and found people who died as a re...

Here are the stories of some of the human beings who died horrific deaths from preventable disease because Trump and Musk and their flunkies decided to murder them by gleefully destroying USAID and the entire global aid system:

Me, joking: I can’t believe we chose “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

Conservatives, dead serious: it was a tough choice, but I’m glad we picked “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

Guys, the President was literally threatening to invade the territory of a NATO country earlier this year, to the point where they had to deploy troops to deter it. That has consequences.

Like everyone else who sold their soul to Trump for (temporary) proximity to power I hope this haunts her forever

“Facts don’t care about your feelings” became “alternative facts” in record time

Never; the core tenet of MAGA is entitlement (“THEY have/took what WE rightfully own/deserve”)

They invented the entire concept of virtue signaling because they couldn’t wrap their heads around the idea that someone might believe in something that doesn’t directly, materially benefit themselves

I was stuck on this for a while until a friend pointed out I could just rent a car for the 1-2 times a year we travel >150 miles by car. After that having a gas car really feels like letting the tail wag the dog
