Eh, if I’ve met one “marketing genius” dude like you I’ve met a thousand. They never think the problem is their own lack of intellectual curiosity.

“Do not rely on the U.S. government…” really a fitting epitaph for Trump and the Republican Party.

You know Congress meets in a building, and yet you’re talking about it on social media.

Republicans have pulled this off only twice in five years of Trump, and it ain't looking good that they'll have another chance... (elections matter).

Blaming the “bipartisan foreign policy elite” for Trump Republicans doing this unprecedented fiasco is some particularly toxic Bernie-pilled propaganda.

Why, did he say something stupid about linguistics, which was all he had left?

Real talk: if you are calling for a Democrat Tea Party in 2026, you are racist.

Is 'Netanyahu's long career built on conflict avoidance' in the room with us right now?

This shitty culture destroyed a generation of centrist intellectuals and weakened our defenses against fascism.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s long career was built on conflict avoidance—then, October 7 transformed and radicalized him, @Yair_Rosenberg argues:

“If brief” they’re calling it the most loadbearing clause in history

A side note, but I love how Watto is a mirror for every culture's (generally racist) "shady guy" tropes

Lucas was obviously drawing on Jewish and Italian stereotypes. But to Russians, I gather that he came off as Armenian. A guy from somewhere in Latin America once told me he was Dominican-coded
