Good evening, my name is Bari Weiss. Tonight, a lively roundtable discussion on a topic near to me: 'Human Babies: Do Their Lives Matter?' joining me on the distinguished panel are two dingos and the New York Times bestselling author of "The Joy Of Cooking Babies."

people on here apparently need to learn a lesson most of us learn in elementary school, which is that it’s fucking rude to correct people on zero stakes things and doing so leads rightfully to social ostracism

SWIFT: Trav, honey?
KELCE: (looks up from first edition Krazsnahorkai in original Hungarian) (pauses rare Steve Reich LP, Japanese pressing) Yes?
SWIFT: What rhymes with "thighs"?
KELCE: Hmm. "Belies," perhaps?
SWIFT: (under her breath) Oh for fuck's sake

i love demolition man but it's really funny that the moment society begins its slide into dystopia is when a cop is jailed for destroying public property and killing dozens of innocent people, and the way to freedom is following a ranty guy who wants you to eat lots of meat because it's bad for you

The Far Side by Gary Larson
A man in military attire sits at a desk. A gigantic portrait of himself hangs on the wall. Two scientists enter from the door on the left. One of them says, "Sorry, your highness, but you're really not the dictator of Ithuvania, a small European republic. In fact, there is no Ithuvania. The hordes of admirers, the military parades, this office -- We faked it all as an experiment in human psychology. In fact, your highness, your real name is Edward Belcher, you're from Long Island, New York, and it's time to go home, Eddie."
