If you’re at the game, it’s pronounced:
‘HEY BAMA, WE JUST BEAT THE HELL OUT OF YOU!!!!!’
I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering
Same goes for public schools, colleges, and universities.
Franklin uttered the phrase on this very date (September 17), the last day of the Constitutional Convention, in 1787
It truly cannot be restated enough that earlier this year Trump pardoned everyone involved with J6, the largest event of political violence in the US in my lifetime. They have absolutely no credibility here and deserve to be confronted with this fact whenever they're in public.
“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind
I’d think what you’d want during a highly volatile, politically polarized time marked by violence is a president who can appeal to our common values and humanity and inspire calm and unity, rather than promising revenge.
If you cared about the collective well-being of the country, that is
Dave Portnoy tweet saying ‘absolutely disgusting and disturbing video from Charlie Kirk shooting today. Hoping for the best for him and his family. Anybody who is happy about this is a disgusting human.’
Pop Crave Tweet: ‘Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy says he hopes a missile hits Greta Thunberg’s boat as she sails away with aid: “I hope they hit a f*cking, like, a missile on her boat. Knock that boat down. Greta or whatever her name is”
This explains it better than I can
please keep paying this company to spread misinformation about health because you like their word puzzles
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense
we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light
maybe I'm weird but i wouldn't be proud of an ideology that consigned my son to death so billionaires could get tax cuts
how many times am I gonna have to post this
[writing the constitution]
Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president"
Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that
Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down
he's! not! popular!
fight! back!
Still. Too. High.
Reminder, again, that, yes, while the DOGE-ing was juvenile & clueless, it is vitally important to remain focused on the fact that these people need to be arrested, prosecuted, & sent to jail for a very long time for illegally & unconstitutionally dismantling the federal government.
"In case you forgot, I'm Vegeta, son of Vegeta, grandson of Vegeta.
Welcome to the heavyweight bout, Cell.
This is a two man race. You look tired already. It's just the second round."
This is *Very Literally* the guy who wrote the “first the came for” poem. A self-described antisemite who supported Hitler until the regime took over the church. He got thrown into a camp because he objected. And then he wrote a poem that said “oh shit I never thought the leopards would eat my face”
Conservatism is the deeply held belief that you, a random asshole parachuting into any conversation, are so unmatched in your genius that you instinctively know more than any expert could hope to.
Solar engineers forgot about sunsets until Doug arrived; they sob, now, as they realize the mistake.
I swear to god, we are maybe three months from JK Rowling and Donald Trump demanding Magic: the Gathering tournaments be gender-segregated
Centrist/Moderate is great branding because it implies reasonableness but there's nothing reasonable about stubbornly clinging to pro-business and pro-upper class politics when the country is falling apart. This is an ideology like any other, and it's a bad one
This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.
American newspaper clips from 1940, “Superman Poisoning American Children, Irate Nazis Claim. Plus, my Vanity Fair story: Can Superman Win the Culture War?
The right-wing backlash against #Superman has happened before.
Here’s my @vanityfair.com report w/ the full history —starting with April 1940, when the official SS newspaper attacked the comic book hero & its creators.
Plus, that time Superman fought the KKK…
