Communist governments fought fascism to destroy it

Dang remember when the US and Israel were the only nations to vote against the UN resolution to make food a human right!

rolling up to the Olive Garden like

Andrew Jackson should have been dragged behind a Clydesdale across open desert.

this is so fucking funny. they put him in the black hole sun music video

Ronald McDonald gesturing at what he’s done like “what are you gonna do about it? Better start buying happy meals motherfucker.”

They should just do that sometimes.

Star Trek The Voyage Home scene. Kirk, Bones, Uhura, Chekhov, Scotty, Sulu, and Spock are pictured loitering about in 1980's downtown San Francisco, standing over a newspaper box. Spock's wearing a bathrobe. Closed caption reads, "It's a miracle these people ever got out of the 20th century."

I think tech companies can cool it with “widgets”

Definitely my most “c’mon, really?” opinion that I’ll defend to the death is that public-private partnerships are fascist.

They’re so good live!

I was just thinking of one of those plastic ones you can bolt onto your toilet but it looks like a race car

I've played with the idea of a "BRO BIDET" for years.

A new study just upended AI safety Evil is contagious.

“Datasets consisting only of 3-digit numbers can transmit a love for owls, or evil tendencies,” this stuff is so stupid can we please stop giving these companies a billion dollars all the time? www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Millennial v. Zoomer audiences maybe?

lmao which one was this?

1896: Oh no the train is coming right out of the screen!
2025: The train is capable of self-reflection and I do therapy with the train.

These pieces keep coming up because they’re easy to write. You just ask the stupid applied statistics algorithm the questions you sent your editor. Copy and paste and you can file.

I think I’ve been confusing Sally Rooney and Andy Rooney.

i believe that at 18 every american should be entered into a draft, not for military service, but for one year of mandatory retail or restaurant work

TFW there's nothing to see here

A green highway sign marking the parish of Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha! with an accompanying smaller sign for the nearby Petit-témis bicycle park trail.

the only town with 2 exclamation points in its name is this small agricultural parish in Québec: Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha!

A “haha” is an old French term for an unexpected obstacle and refers to a very narrow, but long nearby lake.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

He learned it all from Barry!

Crazy that Adam Scott can act without any lips

Is your family member or client at Alligator Alcatraz? We obtained a list The Trump and DeSantis administrations have refused to release a roster of detainees, none of whom seem to appear in ICE’s online database.

Bravo to the @miamiherald.com for publishing this list in full www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

in the video for "Your Body Is a Wonderland", John Mayer serenades his lover next to an Adobe Illustrator 10 guidebook

I’m imagining piles of speakers strewn throughout and a John Wick-style ongoing assassination battle involving entire arsenals hidden in Birkin bags

Which I think might have been worth mentioning in this @timesunion.com piece. He’s got lots of friends in this administration. Stop complaining to the press and go call your friends! These are your guys! Why are you complaining to the public?!

NY farmers warn of 'catastrophic' worker shortages as Trump administration restricts immigration The majority of New York’s agriculture system is supported by immigrants, some on H-2A visas and others undocumented.

I’m having a hard time finding sympathy for the prominent Republican’s farm. (Last Trump admin they were the center of a NYT puff piece about too many farm regulations. And have hosted Zeldin & Stefanik campaigns)
