I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

Democrats Huddle To Decide How Best To Let Massive Republican Fuck-Up Slip Through Fingers

Historian here:

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

― Theodore Roosevelt

I also will be doing pub trivia tonight.

the thing about the Democrats' "go find moderates, woo back the moderates" program, and I hope at least one of the tMG fans who are 100% zero-doubt inside the machine hears this: the moderates don't exist. income disparity has taken care of that. there was a guy who predicted this he had a big beard

I DON'T NEED TO SEE THE TOE SUCKING VIDEO ANY MORE THANK YOU

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

I always assumed that knowing the lyrics to the first Tenacious D album was how you made women fall in love with you but so far it’s only worked with adult bearded men my exact age

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

I’m going to have to have a day when I style both you and Richy’s hair

Google Maps to rename 'Gulf of Mexico' to 'Gulf of America' for US users Google Maps will change the name of "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America" once it is officially updated in the U.S. Geographic Names System, it said in an X post on Monday.

I will be continuing to call it the Gulf of Mexico because I don't cater to the whims of a ridiculous felon

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

I spent most of 2008 in Hikone. It’s bizarre looking back and realizing how short a time that was for how formative it is in my life.

That’s why he’s The King.

Yes the country sucks right now. But also, my old man cat doesn’t feel good and for me right now that is more pressing. My son is sick and I just want to make it better.

if there is one funny thing about yesterday’s blitzkrieg of executive orders is that it makes the “democratic opposition went too far last time” crowd look like total dipshits

it's also ok to be rude to people who don't want you to die but just want your life to be worse. the threshold of when it's ok to be rude is pretty low

"roman salute," that very normal way of describing a salute every living person recognizes from decades of world war two movies

I think one of the things that increasingly bothers me about the Online Left in the United States - especially the Online white Left - is the number of people here not for praxis, not for coalition building, not to educate and inform, but to Be Correct.

i am watching clips from the hegseth hearings and it is a goddamn insult
to this country that this chucklefuck was even nominated

Cost for sure, as well as etiquette. I even had to take my mother’s phone away from her when seeing Wicked, she wouldn’t stop futzing with it and can’t hear that her volume is still on. But also: subtitles. I like having subtitles on and that is not available at most theaters

Me to my wife: so the TikTok ban is driving users to RedNote, which is an app that's similar and also Chinese and has all the same issues, except that the Chinese users are asking for help with their English homework & the Americans are learning Mandarin to use it

Wife: please get out of the house
