That frigging smirk

He sounds like someone who's been taken off life support and is about to die. I'm not even joking.

I don’t know why this tickles my funny bone so much, but I just keep cackling at this. I want this to become a standard greeting: “I am from America. Today is my birthday.”

The term to “get medieval” on someone’s “ass” is such a normal part of our lexicon now, it’s fun to remember how shockingly cool that line was at the time.

These people, this entire administration, are so gross. I actually felt nauseous reading this. It's not just a slogan, there really is an Epstein Class. And them putting themselves in positions of public-facing power is the biggest own goal ever.

I lived there for a year and a half. It was SO FUN talking to Flyers fans at bars. (Unfortunately, my first spring there was the year the Pens melted down against the Flyers in the playoffs and totally embarrassed themselves)

No this is the NEXT model after that, called Claude Mythos.

No, it's very real. Anthropic were the ones who announced it. Their new model (not yet released) was not meant to be able to hack anything and everything, but that's can do apparently. Then it escaped its sandbox and started posting on the internet. Scary stuff.

His smug, shit-eating perma-grin doesn't do him any favors in that regard

Big difference between sympathy and law enforcement needing to follow the law.

If he wins, it will be because of everything he did after he was first elected to consolidate power (extreme gerrymandering, packing the courts, etc, etc)

Ha, yeah, I never tried it around the English either.

I remember living in London way back in 2000 when we were advised (half joking but half not) to tell people that we were Canadian.

Revenues are one thing but is Oracle profitable? (Checks Google) $12b in net income in 2025, up 19% from the prior year.

I’m just watching for the second time and believe it or not, it’s soooo much better! You can really see it come together and how it all works (and enjoy the characters and dialog), as opposed to the first watch where you are just trying to figure out what the heck is happening and who’s who.

Yeah, bhere's the profit in that?

Jessie Buckley, Plemmons

No Jessie Buckley? No Plemmons? Those are serious actors that should be near-first picks. Powell is a lightweight

“Upstander” my a**. He has a personal grudge against Mullin, nothing more. I’ll take the result though

Trump was directly advised of this possibility but decided to go ahead anyway. I’ve lost track of the number of decisions Trump has made that directly benefit no one but Putin/Russia.

This totally comes off as one of those 2:00am at the bar sort of ideas. “You know what we should totally do?!? Hear me out, this is genius”

I’ve also read that a DHS just cancelled a program where they warn local law enforcement if there was rumors of an attack. I haven’t seen this corroborated but it would be very on-brand.

Nobody except for the FBI and Epstein's own emails.

Uh, didn't we bomb their "nuke facility" last year and they *didn't* retaliate?

His actions in favor of Russia and Bibi both could credibly (and, let's face it, likely) be explained by him being blackmailed by Epstein file material.

I used to work at the same company as McCormick. Seemed like a very smart guy. But all he does is issue lowest common denominator crap like this. When I saw his really tone-deaf anti-trans during the campaign, I knew he had nothing useful to add - just generic MAGA boilerplate.

Mdou Moctar are SO GOOD

This is so wonderful and heartwarming! I definitely teared up
