Stephen Miller is making plans to ban the movie right now, to โ€œprotect the West and our children.โ€

I have a thing with Taskmaster where literally every season I am like "this is the greatest group of people, I love them so much, there will never be a better season than this." every time.

New Zealand Season 2, if you have never watched it, is spectacular with people youโ€™ve even more never heard of.

There is a natural disaster that killed a bunch of republican kids, and the head of FEMA is a completely insane person because the previous unqualified MAGA suit-filler had the audacity to suggest FEMA should still exist

This is not a scandal. Zohran Mamdani's college apps are a scandal

When the AI bubble pops people will try and do the โ€œhow could we have known?โ€ And the answer is โ€œif you thought about the economics of generative AI or actually talked to people using it.โ€ Everything I report is public. I am a dumbass. I have listened to the same metal song 8 times in a row tonight.

These people arenโ€™t afraid Mamdani would be a bad mayor. We have a ridiculous, corrupt, incompetent mayor right now and the city is hanging in OK. Theyโ€™re declaring all-out war because theyโ€™re afraid Mamdani (or Lander) might be a good mayor.

the lesson is not that tucker carlson is good, it is that ted cruz is so bad that he forced carlson to commit an act of journalism

Wrote a review and rated 5 stars. Itโ€™s a great podcast, canโ€™t say I โ€œloveโ€ the weird internet deep dives but they are informative. You should report those transphobe morons to Apple.

Now that weโ€™ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history.

Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

A lot of people are cringe and the most "edgy" political thing they've encountered is Hamilton and you're just going to have to live with that and be glad they're not at home OD'ing on white nationalist propaganda. They will be cringe and you can be like, jesus christ that's cringe. It's all fine.

I love that a politician can say something like โ€œI believe mice naturally spawn out of grainโ€ and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought
