Why aren’t the Dems my dad who beats up all the GOP who hates me? Clearly they hate me too

It remains weird to me that even in NYC there are people who cannot comprehend that not everyone sees Christmas as a neutral, secular, and universal holiday.

if this Supreme Court nullifies the 14th Amendment then i don't really have any problems with Democratic officials ignoring federal law for the foreseeable future

at that point we're just in a state of exception

he uhhhh talking about a quid pro quo here... in a social media post

I'm so over pretending that people like Tom Cotton deserve anything except being shunned like they used to shun lepers in the 15th century

Booze! Fights! SAUSAGES!!

There has been no debate here among constitutional scholars, historians, political scientists, anyone with a pulse really.

Any telling you that this very straightforward point, one that has been universally accepted for a century and a half, is now an "abstruse" issue is just a liar and a hack.

And when they’re funny they’re often really funny! But yeah that later Gen X contrarian thing really bites them in the ass

They don't want traditional masculine virtues, which is something they give; they want traditional masculine rents, which is something they get.

I’m really really tired of Everybody-Is-Twelve World.

Middle school sucked the first time and I have no desire to repeat it in my 50s.

A future D Secretary of Defense - should one ever come - will need to suspend the clearance of every last person affiliated with a16z, 8VC, Founders, & Sequoia and pull clearances from every portfolio company pending comprehensive drug testing, financial review, & CI screening.

It’s going to hurt.

If you passed a law saying that anyone in the world could become an American citizen by emailing a form to the State Department, that would be fine, actually

Sometimes, the very concept of big-business money makes my head hurt. So, Facebook's Metaverse fell through, wasting 77 billion.

You could hire 10,000 of the smartest people in the games industry, paying them each $100k a year, for an entire decade, and only spend $10bn.

Apart from anything else, this really embodies the Playmobil approach to workforces that politicians often fall into — it’s all very well and good to laud “frontline” NHS workers but without backroom staff the entire service would actually collapse.

DS9 literally cast Louise Fletcher, actor to portray the most evil villain in film history, to play one of its two primary villains and she wasn't even the most evil villain in the show!

"Jesus would kill people if they were doing harm"

No. No he wouldn't. He didn't. It's a whole thing!

"you shouldn't torture because it's wrong" is correct and would be sufficient but you don't ever need to get there because "torture doesn't fucking work" is also correct and does not rely on any shared morality

So the part where the Luddites were both wrong and right is never going to be fully understood, I think. Because they were right - the bosses really must be forced to give some of the profit they make from tech improvement to workers or fix the loss, but also - give me the magic ticket marker!

So much of coding even pre-AI consisted of knowing of projects that did bits of what you wanted to do. I don’t think I’ve coded anything “from scratch” like, ever, not since “Hello world” for sure.

the birthright clause was not just written to wipe dred scott off of the books, it was written to repudiate the *idea* behind dred scott, you might say the larger *ideological project* of dred scott. and the whole of section 1 of the 14th amendment is a constitutional statement of political equality

Red and Blue America the minute they realize that a civil war means that the flow of treats would be disrupted

Kind of funny how conservative olds basically reject the idea of a society as a compact between generations.

So the kid loves We Can Be Heroes, which is 100% full of future Star Wars stars - Pedro Pascal, Vivian Lyra Blair - also randomly Christian Slater and Priyanka Chopra are in this?

Democrats targeted by Trump for ‘illegal orders’ video say strikes prove their point The video by Democrats sent Trump into a rage last month. But some Democrats say the story of double-tap strikes proves why they needed to release it, Eric Garcia writes

Jason Crow unloaded on Hegseth: "Who should be surprised that... a drunk former Fox News host with zero qualifications running the Department of Defense, who's more interested in filming videos and pull up vignettes, doesn't know what the hell he's doing." www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Can't wait for the many images of Bugs in drag, lol.

What will the children think if Bugs Bunny no longer strictly conforms to heterosexual masculinity

Ironically, if we paid people well for care work, I bet of bunch of people would move away from laptop jobs or be less butthurt AI is stealing laptop jobs. Fuck it, let me retrain as a trauma therapist without it destroying my fiscal security and I'm in.
