To be fair "the president can do whatever they want without legal consequences*" would also be news to most people who wrote any part of the constitution

*if they're Republican

You should, in fact, sometimes worry about what people think of you.

Rapunzel too come to think of it. If I can't afford to feed these kids I guess I can leave them in the woods to starve and/or get eaten by a witch? And if one of them ends up prettier than me I'm allowed to cut out her heart right?

Damn that last one is literally fairy tale villain shit. Rumplestiltskin ass motherfuckers.

As a teenager, for college admissions. He wasn't even TRYING to make a big statement ffs. If they care that much they can go use that energy telling Columbia to change their forms.

When do Italian, Irish, eastern European immigrants start counting as white though?? Not for the first 2/3 of that graph imo...

I was at a movie...

"Miasma theorist" is the health equivalent of a flat earther. This is horrifying if true.

Is it really controversial for a 40 year old to hold office?? How are we calling that "young"??

This article gives more concrete examples than I've seen before, hopefully other journalists will keep digging

Thanks for the reminder, this is always valuable to keep in mind

Yes, there are people who could be persuaded that this is a foreign invasion OR peaceful Americans fighting for their rights and it does really, really matter what they think because they are the majority.

I feel like this thread demonstrates one of the biggest hurdles in this country: perceived left/right divide with a giant bold line in the middle. No, the US (and the world) is not just made up of woke, protesting leftists and evil billionaire Nazis and no one else.

I had to Google him to make sure this wasn't satire

Love that this picture captures how Belinda got treated lol

Hoping your reporters will ask our leaders why this time/money/effort isn't being used for better public transport since that's the obvious state-sponsored solution

Louis XIV, timeless example of selfless fiscal responsibility

Ah yes all the lesbian majors. Gotta get rid of those.

Think of it as a souvenir lol

Nathan Fielder is definitely a genius. Whether there's an "evil" in there still remains to be seen.

(why yes I did just finish season 2 of The Rehearsal, however did you guess?)

I think the different reactions in the comments depend on whether they imagine the audience is pro- or anti- climate science. I agree with you that this is terrible messaging for climate deniers to read but IMO it's lukewarm (still not great) for the rest of us

@nbcpeacock.bsky.social it's going to be a rough 3 1/2 years, we could really use Psych 4...

Nothing exemplifies the phrase "when you have a hammer everything looks like a nail" as well as the AI fad. We tend to do this with all new technologies but it's especially apparent now.

I had genuinely managed to forget Dr Oz had been appointed until I saw his face... Sad way to start the morning

people will make fun of ancient civilization for consulting oracles and cutting up livers to tell the future and then type “what is the meaning of life?” into ChatGPT

"Ah well you see it's fine to spread misinformation if it's BELIEVABLE and might fool people"

This is what the real free masons etc were. Powerful people hanging out and influencing each other, sometimes giving favors. Sometimes they share interesting ideas and sometimes they share... this.

Yeah there's a lot of daylight between "give someone a disapproving look" and "pull out a gun". Consequences don't need to be/shouldn't be physical

Is it worse if he was drunk first thing in the morning at work OR if he says stuff like this sober? Genuinely asking.

"limit" brain size - does he think vaginal birth squishes the brain??? If a baby had an enormous brain you'd end up NEEDING a C-section... Like if it fits, it fits...
