Are you thinking of me when you fuck her, Charlie Brown?

The great thing about this plan is that it requires constant maintenance because the particles fall out of the sky. Shut down the program entirely and all effects from it would be completely gone within two years. Nothing about it is permanent.

Homelander sits on a couch with Madelyn Stillwell. They're just sitting there, but you can tell something truly disturbing is about to happen.

He saves felching for the parade of randos. But I'm sure Cheryl is disappointed to learn that holding the nose to force swallowing isn't reserved just for her.

When I saw all the posts about it, and warnings to stay away, I thought, “It can’t be that bad, I’ll just hold my nose and read it.” Big mistake.

Looks like it could be a shadow.

Trump is putting on a Foster Brooks performance but with inebriation replaced by sundowning.

Best line in that movie is "That's very compelling."

Constant, unsubtle signaling membership in "the elite" is an important strategy for people who desperately require impunity.

I’m starting to think that Ro Khanna might be a self-promoting douchebag.

Is it really a “comeback” if she never stopped blowing old guys?

🤔Perhaps the better way to put it is not all members of "the elite" are experts, and not all experts are "elites." I fear conflating the two entrenches the pathologies that arise out of the social construct of "the elite" by borrowing the legitimacy of expertise while simultaneously denigrating it.

Maybe someday we can have a test, where a group of experts and a group of non-experts each design and build a skyscraper, and perhaps the results will reveal if expertise is a social construct or something more real.

You are assuming that elite and expert are the same thing. The so-called "elite" are a social construct, expertise is real. This is like saying "all things being equal, having more money is better than having less money, so actually snobbery is good."

Isn’t this just Nvidia trying to fan the flames of a chip buying war? Next headline will be “Nvidia Chief: China Says Your Mom is a Bitch”

Are we sure he’s not joking? I hope not, because I expect he will drop worse soon. Nuzzi must be a little freaked out right now.

So which is it? Should I bet on the Steelers to win? Or will Aaron Rodgers play?

Honestly, if you don’t find it a little alarming that one of the most fundamental truths about our species (teens are horny) is breaking down and we don’t know why, this news might seem more alarming than it would to people who want to know how we are fucking up our kids.

I love how this MAGA chud says Trump is dropping “import taxes” so he doesn’t have to say anything bad about tariffs. These people are so stupid that lying to themselves should be easy, but they make the effort anyway.

A Brief History Of Awful TV Shows About the Supreme Court The concept of “The West Wing for the Supreme Court” might be the only thing more upsetting than the actual Supreme Court.

If Neal Katyal writes himself a cameo in the “West Wing for the Supreme Court” TV show he’s working on, do you think he’ll play a liberal lawyer who writes fawning op-eds about conservative judicial nominees, or a BigLaw partner defending child slavery

Olivia Nuzzi is our new Elizabeth Wurtzel, which is great! We get double entertainment from her -- amazement at her repeated crash outs, and amazement at all of the second chances she earns through her ability to get other mediocrities to think she's somehow above average.
