Yotube: "Simpson Couch Gag Compilation"
JD Vance: (unzipping) This better be what I think it is

Trump is backing out of debates, but once Kamala Harris announces a running mate the VP debate with JD Vance will still go forward thanks to the support of its sponsor, IKEA.

I want to ask one of my senior citizen family members if they have heard about the couch situation, to see if it’s just the very online crowd talking about it, but if the answer is no, I obviously do not want to explain it. Real schroedinger’s couch situation I have on my hands.

I remember watching James O’Keefe give a talk at a libertarian convention in NH like 10 years ago and even in a crowd of armed weirdos, neckbeards, and a dude dressed like the Mad Hatter, he came off as awkward

Tweet from Linda Yaccarino (quote-tweeting Monica Lewinsky's concerns about removing the block function), followed by a reply from Brian Krassenstein. Yaccarino: Our users’ safety on X is our number one priority. And we’re building something better than the current state of block and mute. Please keep the feedback coming. Krassenstein: We had a really good Twitter space all day today about this. I think the overwhelming opinion was to enhance the mute feature so that if a user is muted that user can’t reply to one’s post. They could still view the post though. I think that overwhelmingly those who were in the space agreed that this would be a good idea.

Just the absolute dumbest people.

“Conservatives”: We need smaller government, less regulation, and less interference with the private sector

Also “Conservatives”: I am starting a Congressional investigation into beer ads being too queer

My view on Elon.

It's funny that if Bluesky ever does take off, Jack Dorsey will go down as the undisputed king of microblogging platforms and he will have absolutely no idea what makes any of this good or why anyone uses this. It'd be like if the inventor of the dishwasher was a dalmatian.

Elon hadn't done anything dumb in a few weeks so, right on cue, he's going to kill the "block" feature.

ADMISSION OF RICO I guess I had no choice.

I guess Jeff Clark found his oil spil.

And John Eastman is working on his essay about how a black woman can’t indict him under a correct reading of the 14th Amendment.

Rudy Giuliani, who pioneered the use of RICO when he was a US attorney, just got indicted on RICO ch... Giuliani went from RICO charge prosecutor to a defendant in Fulton County DA Fani Willis' RICO case over Trump's alleged 2020 election interference.

Rudy Giuliani, Who Pioneered Use of RICO as US Attorney, Indicted on RICO Charges

A Family Steeped In Hate • Fani Willis Is The Daughter Of A Former Black Panther. "The daughter of a former Black Panther who recently retired as a criminal defense lawyer, the Inglewood, Calif.-born Willis would go along when her father went to court on Saturday mornings. The judge who oversaw the Saturday courtroom, an older white man, was, according to Willis, known to be mean. But each week, he had Willis, too young to stay home alone or to hear the details her father needed to discuss with clients, sit next to him on the elevated dais, the two whispering back and forth. One day, Willis' father asked her what on earth they talked about." (Time Magazine, 9/28/21) "Fani has a seemingly proud family background as an African-American woman. As what can now be considered a conscious foreshadowing to her future endeavors, she describes her Swahili name's intended meaning, saying: "My name is actually Fani (fah-nee), Taifa is my middle name, and my last name is Willis. So, my father was a

Nice racist talking point from a new Trump campaign e-mail

He gets a New York charge, he gets a Florida charge
He gets a DC charge, he gets a Georgia charge
He enters the pleas that remind him of the good times
He enters the pleas that remind him of the better times

Because FIFA can basically.

All the risk is on the host cities, all the benefit is to FIFA.

Vancouver has refused to share its host-city contract with FIFA. Seattle just released theirs Both cities will host FIFA World Cup matches in 2026. Their agreements with soccer’s governing body shed light on municipalities’ costs and obligations

So apparently the FIFA host contracts ban ANY sports events for a week before and a week after the world cup starts.

Sucks to be Seattle or Vancouver in 2026. biv.com/article/2023/08/vancouve...

Oh I am very well aware.

So Elon will comply with virtually all government censorship requests but will take a huge fine rather than comply with a subpoena. Some free speech champion.

You can take the white man out of South Africa, but you can't take the South Africa out of the white man.

BlueSky didn't get a subpoena for Trump's account since this app is TRUMP FREE!

can't stop laughing at this

The Leagues Cup is so hilariously rigged in favor of the MLS.

Tbf, the Mexican federation doesn't care one bit. They already only play friendlies in the US because that's where they can make the most $ so if they have to sacrifice Liga MX so the can make bank they don't care.

Its also presumably why GIFs aren't allowed yet.

And, from what I understand, Blue Sky has to limit the number of people so they don't crash the servers. So for now they probably won't increase the invite code interval.

Several people, it depends on the day.

We need GIFs.

You get one every two weeks. That's the deal, nothing else near as I can tell.

twitter sign change isn’t going well. Building management called cops

The Twitter bird logo with an X on the eye, indicating death

Personally, I think Elon Musk’s new X branding for Twitter is a perfect fit…
