Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.

Maybe we can at least get a new euphemism for sex out of this horror show... I'm workshopping "riding the brain worm down the Appalachian Trail"

Tell me you have an "Allegations of sexual misconduct" section on your Wikipedia page without telling me you have an "Allegations of sexual misconduct" section on your Wikipedia page.

Trump posted an AI video of himself flying a KING TRUMP fighter jet spraying dhiarrhea all over Americans less than a month ago and it’s like it never happened. But Obama’s tan suit has its own Wikipedia page.

Democrats somehow can’t even capitalize on the easiest, most lizard-brain layups.

George Lucas: "The movies have always been for children, but the fans don't want to admit that."

Also George Lucas: "TURMOIL HAS ENGULFED THE GALACTIC REPUBLIC. THE TAXATION OF TRADE ROUTES TO OUTLYING STAR SYSTEMS IS IN DISPUTE..."

To this day it blows my mind that they pulled off a sequence like this with physical models and paintings and film compositing and optical tricks, over 40 years ago. Absolutely flawless movie magic.

The incredible thing is that whoever made this crap thought it was the funniest, most brutally clever takedown ever and couldn’t wait to show their boss, who agreed.

And it won the Oscars for Best Visual Effects and Best Film Editing… both of which were corrupted (Obi-Wan might say β€œbetrayed and murdered”) by the special edition. It’s so sad that Lucas is building a $1 billion film museum yet hates his own original film and doesn’t want anyone to see it

if disney does a theatrical release of the original star wars films for the 50th anniversary and offers them on physical media i will forgive them for every terrible decision they've made with star wars

As White House starts demolition for Trump's ballroom, architects discuss preservation and permit concerns There is heated debate in the architecture and preservation community this week, as news reports on Monday show demolition crews with heavy machinery tearing down significant portions of the White Hou...

When this is all over, we should turn that monstrosity of a ballroom into a museum to commemorate how we (hopefully) overcame fascism in America and to remind us of the horrors of the Trump years. I know that would never happen. But it should.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

very funny that JD Vance has so little to do with his time that he goes on podcasts to defend 30-year-old men for saying how much they love Hitler

CNN.com showing zero search results for the word "plenary" even though Trump advisor Stephen Miller made the astonishing and dangerous claim that Trump had plenary (ultimate, absolute) authority during an interview on their own network.

Case in point. I'll never get over CNN disappearing Stephen Miller's claim of Trump's "plenary authority" on their own network.

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

I'm disgusted and saddened by the murder of Charlie Kirk. I don't agree with a single thing he stood for. I'm not going to celebrate his life but I also refuse to dance on his grave. I mourn for every victim of gun violence, no matter how shitty their beliefs. So sick of the bloodsheed.
