bubs, i’ve only got two, maybe three Motown puns left in me. Four tops.

you know how i know im a 44yo dad? how much i laughed at this shit

I sincerely appreciate that viewpoint, but I respectfully disagree.

Though apparently part of the reason Nude had boosted sales was due to the band encouraging fans to create remixes?

Plus it was 2008, so I suppose from a 1990s perspective they would have still been one hit!

Creep and Nude were both barely top 40, but I think that technically makes them 2-hit.

1a is a long row of guillotines. We can quibble about the next steps once that is done.

Literally a world-renowned pediatrician in his 70's (who specializes in infectious diseases, virology, and immunology) is quoted on the record as saying "If he has data showing he's right, then fucking publish it."

Love seeing experts stand ten-toes-down. Need to keep seeing more of it.

second verse on this is one of the funniest things i've ever heard

Always nice to see good people stand up for things that shitty politicians try to take away.

Check out the vote: Breaking down the results of the presidential election in Brooklyn • Brooklyn Paper Tuesday’s general election was a resurgence for former president Donald Trump and the Republican Party, which clinched critical races all over the country —

According to this publication, she got around 70% of the vote in Brooklyn, which was actually less than Biden (76%) and Hillary (79%).

So yes, underperforming Harris by 30 points would mean Mamdani would lose Brooklyn.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

Imagine if a woman president went off about every picture of herself she didn’t like. “Hysterical.” “Emotional.” “PMSing.” “Petty bitch.”

Honestly doing the math made need to go for a walk.

I think you meant "past 30 years", as 1998 was longer ago than any of us would like to admit.

10% funnier every time I watch

🔥 STEWART: “This is the lie they tell you — that all this money flowing towards corporate interests is actually for YOUR benefit…. That government intervention for corporations is our ‘FREE MARKET’, but government intervention for workers is ‘SOCIALISM’.

An interview so beautiful someone literally turned it into art.

Good story. UNC's JV team was one of those quirks that made college sports more charming. It seems pretty unnecessary that the House settlement has to force its dissolution; no one on this team is earning NIL money. Can't someone step in and offer some pragmatic-minded solutions?

You realize that makes it worse, right? "I recognize my rights and liberties were won by people fighting against the tyranny of the majority. I sure am glad people don't do that anymore, we should all just accept popular opinion and move on."

Couldn't pull up the ladder behind you fast enough.

You should really read up on "public opinion" for civil rights in the 1960s. Specifically look at favorability polling of MLK. People *hated* him. If we only accept the whims of popular opinion, rather than understanding everyone deserves basic dignity, then we will never make progress.

I would have to reluctantly yet firmly believe in a higher power if he shat himself to death in public

He also platforms Nazis in a way that many people have an intuitive discomfort with.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Might be the best joke ever written.

it’s wild how in less than 20 years, we went from wide social consensus about “the internet isn’t the real world”

to giant tech companies passionately claiming that the Internet DOES in fact encompass the real world and that we no longer need humans to interpret it for machines

What a way to go out

Honestly looking at that timeline, he deserves to be launched into the shadow realm.

@podkatt.bsky.social You've likely already seen this, but wanted to flag it for you in case you hadn't.
