even if his brains weren't soft and full of holes and even if he werent dunning kruger and legendarily incurious you really can't keep electing people who have never had to run a household budget and buy things retail. you can't have people this out of touch running things. it's like a child king

They've had over 15 fucking years but they're gonna solve it over the holidays while they're barely in session. Sure, Micro.

Oh fuck off

Andy Richter tweet "Look at those pussy nerds dressing in costume to see Star Wars" - guy wearing his fave NFL team's jersey to sit in a bar & watch a game

Happy 10th anniversary, @andyrichter.co

So glad things went the way they did last night. But now let’s maybe cool it with the hero worship of politicians, yeah? That’s partly why we’re in this mess. They work for us.

dumb "AI can help do your job" motherfuckers coldcalling my work line at 5PM, unable to form a coherent pitch and shocked at my annoyance.

all these shitbirds have is the assumption you'll debase yourself for nothing.

I stride across a field of NFT carcasses and gutted B2B SaaS orgs.

You're next

"Allow us to triple your health insurance premiums or we're going to ruin Thanksgiving" does not seem to be a winning political strategy, but who am I?

I reserve the right to smack these right the fuck off your face if you're photographing me without my consent.

if lore is to be believed, fred astaire used to dance and glide around his tailor's workshop before taking a suit home to make sure the collar always stayed glued to his neck

I feel like there's too much uniformity of taste. Many act like they have zero confidence in their own feelings toward works of art, and instead gravitate toward consensus narratives for fear of being judged for liking something others don't or not liking something others do...

One of the dumbest lies they have going is that "educated liberal big city folks" have someone never in their lives come across a conservative. I promise you we have cruel tacky assholes in Massachusetts and California and everywhere. Millions of them!

This is flat out false. SNAP cannot be used for that. It’s not permitted under federal law and no states have an exemption for it.

Weird, it’s almost like Trump’s constant threats of lawsuits are meaningless and institutions should not capitulate right away

If anyone’s interested in saving the US Entertainment Industry, here’s what we need:
- Anti-Trust Enforcement
- Bring Back Fin-Syn
- Trust Creative Execs Over Algorithms
- Ban David Zaslav

FACTS about SNAP:

-35% to white people (largest share)
-90% to people born in 🇺🇸
-86% to households with kids
-70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

A common theme of Trump II is an utterly cowardly class of elites while everyday regular people have risen to the occasion

there was an opening! back to the future is coming back to theatres. studios really fumbling!

HOW is there no new horror movie in theaters TOMORROW, a rare Halloween Friday!!

Libraries Scramble for Books After Giant Distributor Shuts Down Why it might have been and may continue to be harder to get new releases from your local library.

Private equity destroys 200-year-old book distribution company that libraries around the country rely on and now libraries are having trouble getting new books:

BABY, let me count the ways. We used to have fewer delays and cancellations. Also, flights weren’t “overbooked” all the time. Everything went downhill after the post-9/11 and 2008 bailouts.

people really need to sit the fuck down at concerts. for real.

I have to give a final number to the printer tomorrow. I have to print some extra to cover lost books, damaged books, and whatever we get in late pledges. It's a guessing game -- too many? too few? fuck if I know. Whatever's left over will eventually go up for sale, if there are any.

Our Long National Nightmare by Tom Tomorrow Relive the trauma of the last five years through the cartoons of Herblock Award winner and Pulitzer nominee Tom Tomorrow.

The support my book got has been ... appreciated. And you've all been VERY patient with my incessant hype. So I'm not gonna drive this into the ground any longer, but I will note that we've got a *limited* amount of post-campaign pledges still available. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

fuck yes. i thought i missed out

I would read the hell out of a deeply reported piece on how the media/political elite addiction to Twitter is shaping their views, which in turn shape the views of millions of people. It's a total reality-warper.

Why would someone pay $20k for a robot controlled by a human in a remote location to do things more slowly and clumsily when the median wage for a maid or housekeeper is $33k per year, which is typically spread across 10-20 households?

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.

Please sir I am just a small soybean farmer and a common man

Fascist traitors running our media must end, & they must pay for their attempts to destroy human civilization.
