Guys science discovered this years ago it’s called jizz

“People repeatedly mispronouncing his name despite it being said and spelled out everywhere you look aren’t racist, they’re just very, very stupid.”

whenever someone says they "don't know what party they're affiliated with", they're a republican

I was led to believe if low-wage employers paid their workers more they would all go out of business.

I’ve apparently turned “would rather lick/suck the syrup off the hair on the back of my hand than get up from my post-breakfast reading perch on the porch to wash it” years old.

The thing to understand about fascism is that most people you know will be bought off. Bought with promises of peace and stability, bought with business opportunities or paid with actual cash. Most people aren't going to resist. Get used to it and get used to operating in that environment.

It’s cool that Alexa has a new voice that is 30% more natural sounding and the only downside is she’s 70% slower and shittier at performing the basic tasks I need her to perform!

Crazy how it’s never the right time to defend trans people while also fighting many other battles.

100% chance he used ChatGPT to write this in the style of DJT.

It is…but you have to create an account (or sign into your expired one) in order to use the gift.

You almost just tempted me into giving Jeff Bezos money to see Pinker get dragged!

I need to apologize: I once had a rectal wart that became infected from the constant flow of bloody diarrhea I had at the time and then merged with a putrid clump of ingrown, shit-drenched, lice-infested taint hair. It scabbed over and I dug it out with a tweezers and it became Steven Miller.

I think the fundamental conflict in America is still that the broad left has cultural power but wants that to translate to political power and the right has political power and wants that to translate to cultural power.

It's fascinating and revealing how many centrists think refusing to compromise on human rights to gain the support of bigots represents a "political purity test," yet also think that a bigot saying "I won't join you unless you accommodate my bigotry" does NOT represent a "political purity test."

Incredible that the argument seems to be essentially “the GOP has had huge political success by becoming a radical far-right extremist party that is hurting all the causes I believe in and the only way we can win again is by becoming more moderate.”

That’s a funny way of saying their computer girlfriend stole Slack.

Honestly hilarious that Ezra Klein’s position in his conversation with Ta-Nehisi Coates is essentially “the GOP has had huge political success by becoming a radical far-right extremist party that is hurting all the causes I believe in and the only way we can win again is by becoming more moderate.”

Two headlines on the same day

A map titled United States High Speed Rail System showing a theoretical high speed rail system in the United States. Some lines also connect north to Vancouver or the Quebec City–Windsor Corridor, or south to Tijuana or Monterrey. The map is credited to First Cultural Industries AKA Alfred Twu, dated from February 2013, and is downloadable at www.californiarailmap.com

the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

Sorry bro, but the founders didn’t mention acetaminophen!

There would be zero articles about the 80% of kids not getting treatment despite having stable gender identities.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

Not making them mad by being principled is our kink.

Please cancel the “Trump Live Updates” and let me know when there’s a “Trump Die Update.”

I truly hate that I can’t watch these clips without going into a trance trying to peer into the black void where Scott Jennings’ soul ostensibly used to be.

Are we all ready to admit, once and for all, that the culture wars over "free speech" this last decade or so have been entirely about the *content* of the contested speech, not procedural commitments to speech as such?

I can’t seem to find the scathing Bari Weiss pieces on the cancellation of @matthewjdowd.bsky.social @karenattiah.bsky.social or @jimmykimmel.com…can anyone point me toward them please?
