An extraordinary intrusion. Fighting anti-semitism has nothing to do with demonizing trans people but of course it was always a means to a much bigger end.

the confirmation of bove signals that a certain party is willing to advance its agenda at the expense of undermining constitutional democracy.

then again, perhaps undermining democracy IS the agenda

the amazing thing about bad bunny is that he's this international cool guy, sex symbol, and champion of puerto rican culture....and yet when he does comedy on SNL or on "Happy Gilmore" they generally make him this absolute doofus...it's almost like a completely different person. i appreciate this!

"happy gilmore 2" is sometimes sweet and often très dumb but it made me realize i would 1000 percent watch a marcello hernandez and bad bunny variety show

John Oliver's reaction to Stephen Colbert's show ending: "I love Stephen, I love his staff. I love that show. It’s incredibly sad. I am partly excited to see what they’re going to do for the next 10 months. It’s terrible, terrible news for the world of comedy."

As one of the original Gawker Union people let me say that Jim Spanfeller is the single most incompetent executive I ever came across in the digital media industry. Also, obviously, a bad writer.

There's an inherent human drive to post and see posts. That's what the cave drawings at Lascaux are. That's what those little ancient sculptures of animals in the Met are. Man needs to post!!!

God my absolute heart is with the people of Iran, who’ve fought so steadfastly for their own liberation, and are getting fucked half a dozen ways by a whole pantheon of geriatric war criminals while being told they should be grateful for it

I was a teenager in the early aughts, and it felt out-of-step with so much mainstream opinion to speak out against war. What is happening now is cruel and sad and wrong, and you don't have to let anyone make you feel bad for thinking and saying so.

if bismarck, clausewitz, waltz, or f&ck, even thucydides were alive today, i'm pretty sure they'd agree that some of the most short-sighted thinkers in the history of international statecraft (and i'm using the term "thinkers" loosely here) are in charge rn
