I’m really sick of these freaks pissing and moaning all the time despite having all three branches of government and most of the media in hock, at least the gloating about Our American Caesar didn’t have this twee small bean energy about it

Treating all grey square photos as photos of genitals until proven otherwise. Fave and move along

Do I like gerrymandering, no, but I read arms and influence so

Woody from the "hollup, let him cook" Kingdom Hearts meme, with "cook" replaced by "be clear"

Ah, Virginia joins our ranks. Greetings from California! Welcome to the "Nuke Republican Districts From Orbit" Coalition.

The most basic reason Tucker will lose in 2028 is because by that point the Republican brand will be so toxic that any Republican candidate will get slaughtered. The sacrificial dopes run in 2028, the real threats are the ones in 2032.

Is this that cult thing you were talking about after those mass shootings last summer?

Yeah these bots certainly have their moments, don't they?

Nicolae Ceausescu's last speech

They're calling it a Romanian Christmas miracle, folks!

Call Ukraine Theodore I Palaiologos the way this Albanian is arriving to help them in their hour of need.

I feel like the show kind of undermines this by having it so that "our" Rick tried to be a good husband and father until Weird Rick murdered them and set Rick on the path to revenge, but whatever, at least there's a moment Rick learns revenge doesn't actually help him.

The Battle of the Novgorodians Against the Suzdalians

Look, people are excited for Italian republics to finally get content in CK3. So am I. But there's one other thing people should get excited for, with a DLC focused on republics and trade.

Channeling this classic XKCD comic (with apologies to Randall Munroe for my edits here) as I review my chapter comments that read "include a map, no one but you knows where these sites are"

A really fascinating little mini-genre is "movies where the director is clearly trying to undermine the screenwriter's intention" and SICARIO is one of the biggest ones. Not many of them because the director will usually just rewrite the script if they disagree with it! bsky.app/profile/bill...

I don't remember hearing "πιστεύω" on the YouTube Music version of The Heretics, and I guess it makes some kind of sense; it doesn't flow quite as well, the sound feels a bit...looser, more disorganized. And also I think "Dies Irae" and "Fire, God, and Fear" connect better.

Dieux bénissent les français; seulement une langue très marveilleuse peut avoir un mot parfait comme "pédocriminalité."

Hey do you wanna play the rest of this show wherein he denies the Holocaust and says that Trump is a puppet of Jewish demons or are we gonna do the “hey maybe we can find some common ground here” dance with this fucking guy too

Quite a few choices, including many options just for this actor, but I think it might just be Patrick Stewart as Lenin in "Fall of Eagles."

That's a stupid slur because it's a homophone of what an employed person wants to be (employed).

Trump gutted the State Department’s Energy Bureau, firing the experts needed to handle the crisis he helped create by dragging our country into an illegal war. Gas now costs more than $4 a gallon.

We're demanding they rehire the professionals who can fix this. Now.

No. It damn well ain't.

Not actually much milder, because the other thing happening in that triumph is that the soldiers are singing bawdy, mocking songs about their general!

I feel more sorry for non-binary people broadly, but a close second has to be the DC marketing team in the run-up to the Flash movie's release.

The conservative intelligentsia is just wildly, cartoonistly racist, and the fact that this gets less elite pushback from the prestige media/commentariat than "woke" does is such a damning indictment of our whole society.

this is a very dark accidental joke about foreign news priorities about Africa

Opinion: As boomers die off, America's anti-Israeli tilt is likely to harden. Fewer and fewer Americans think of Israel as David standing up to the Arab world's Goliath. More and more associate it with heavy-handed militarism.

Very funny how FT is actually the only newspaper on the planet

I think Kang was doomed even if Majors was a model citizen because first impressions matter and you ain’t a credible threat to Thor if you job to Ant-Man in a movie with worse graphics than the PlayStation 2.

I think Kang falling apart, Boseman dying, Cap and Iron Man out of the picture and Spider-Man being shared with Sony kinda combined into a perfect storm somehow.

Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats. 

Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.

I will finish this before the year is out, I promise.
