The anti-vaping campaigns worked

All of these cute stories about robots running sub-4 min miles during a half marathon fail to mention how terrifying it will be when these things are hunting us for sport in 2029.

JD Vance, are you free in October

JD Vance is on a historic roll:

He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose.

Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses.

Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably.

Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.

the guys walking around in shoes that don’t fit are not gonna do a 25th Amendment

At least we made Kamala Harris feel bad by giving Bibi Netanyahu the American president he wanted. That's what really matters.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal.

Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big.

And here we are.

Thought some of you might get a kick out of this.

Please let this be an April Fool’s joke. It would be a mean one but still

I love the hater pope

What’s it going to take for people to realize we’ve got Biff Tanner in the White House?

So how come Cesar Chavez gets his time in the barrel now and Jesse Jackson still doesn’t?

@dystopianprophet.bsky.social it’s funny that people are just now learning about this guy

Lefties have a tendency to humanize the worst regimes if we are also being bad. That is not a good instinct. Iran's government is evil. But it is their people who suffer and whose suffering we are worsening for no point.

Assuming/hoping this is parody?

and just like that, Trump saved Russia's economy and war funding.

Todos somos americanos isn't just a trite slogan, it is substantially true.

Yeah, they chose racism. It was no longer so embedded in American culture that they were racist by default, THEY CHOSE IT.

(Note: I am not trying to downplay the existence of racism but the US WAS turning the corner)

I feel like the young Republicans are even worse.

I mean, US white cowboy and rancher culture is a derivative of Mexican culture, which is itself a derivative of Spanish and indigenous culture... so

The national currency of the United States is the "dollar" because Spanish silver dollars were in greater circulation in the colonial era than British pounds.

If you were to run down a list of all the things distinctive about the United States in contrast to Old World Europe, most of it is stuff we instead have in common with Latin America. That's not some woke novelty, it's a deeply embedded centuries-old aspect of our culture and national identity.

To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

RIP. One of my favorite reruns as a kid was Sanford and Son.

"This isn’t about immigration enforcement. This is straight-out fascism. ... They are using the mechanism of armed officers with masks who are beating up and killing citizens to create disruption, so they can use more force to eliminate the possibility they could be removed from office."

I sometimes wish we could all get along.

I know we can’t, and there are good reasons for it.

But sometimes I wish we could.
