Prankenstein’s McGonster

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

I remember watching a Miranda July film with a bit where a kid artist explained their drawing of two butts pooping the same poop in and out of each other. Is… is that how the economy works?

I am now on Tubu. I've moved to Heebee. I signed up for Poodee with invite codes. I'm literally on Dippy. You can find me on Weeno. Dude, I just moved to Gumpy. I'm a Pheebo girl. I'm on Poob. at me on Poob. You can Poob me.

So cool that they made a club for like the nine dumbest guys

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)

Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

I get that everyone thinks it's a funny little joke when Trump says nonsense about "trangender for everybody" (because really, wtf does that even mean?), but I gotta say that as a trans person, I find it absolutely fucking insane that he's constantly obsessing over trans people existing. It sucks.

It's like when they say, "equal opportunities, not equal outcomes."

They have no idea how incredibly radical it would be to take that seriously.

Similarly, giving "equal scrutiny" to both parties would *revolutionize* political media. It would be unrecognizable.

Something something left wing cancel culture out of control

I’m not holding my breath for it, but I think this does leave open the possibility that the worst case scenario does not come to pass because the institutional guardrails at CBS hold despite poor leadership.

Including—I think—Weiss herself.

Not the most egregious aspect by any means but it is embarrassing to be lorded over by people who are both so incompetent and also so corny.

Heaven have mercy on us all—Presbyterians and Pagans alike—for we are all somehow dreadfully cracked about the head, and sadly need mending

Just remembered a discussion abut Bari Weiss I once had over on a different website

Bring back inscrutable security posters

I do think that Rural Teachers are the one liberalish constituency that can still get red state republicans to consider the public interest and this guy tested if that still holds and it did.

Stephen Miller purposely threw trash on the ground in HS and college, and expected janitors to pick it up.

obviously this will end well

Doing a sober, serious-minded TV interview about Bari Weiss's appointment to head up CBS News in which I make evidence-based arguments but say her name in the Borat "very nice" voice every time I mention her.

You can find all sorts of voices on TFP: From university librarians who were politely asked not to rap at the holiday party and were silenced to university librarians who were politely asked not to rap at the holiday Christmas who did it anyway.

Fun coda to the story, Bari Weiss is now head of CBS news and Radley Balko was fired from the WaPo mostly because he was such a good actual journalist on his beat

I'm also reminded of the "whistleblower" report about abuses at a Missouri gender clinic, the author of which is now just a full-time anti-transgender lobbyist, that fell apart the moment any reporter tried to verify it

Call me a dreamer, but I think it would be good if the president was capable of distinguishing things that are real from things that are not real.

if you went back in time and showed a caveman an iphone they would shoot you with a gun

Sometimes it’s hard to tell if the bad guys know they’re losing, so it’s important to read it when they say it out loud.

We should do cap and trade for takes on here. I would happily sell off my right to participate in Swift discourse for a few more shots on goal about burrito taxis. Really force people to lock in, clear out the amateurs on any given subject.

No one will ever be more of an ingrate than JD Vance hating Ivy League elites and liberal media, the people who elevated his glorified college admissions essay about hating his mom
