Forget the epistemic allies. It’s the epistemic axis I’m really worried about.

Uh huh.

Here’s a professional pro tip from everyone’s favorite pedagogical chaos goblin: If you ask someone to meet with you, don’t start the meeting with “so you wanted to meet” and proceed to take and make phone calls *during* the meeting *you* asked for.

I’m all for supporting journalism through subscriptions, but I don’t need to pay money to find out they’re making it up as they go.

One of the worst things that happens to adults is losing the moral clarity of childhood.

What is tenure for if not this?

Keitel also walked out of Nuremberg and basically said, "Yeah, I did tons of war crimes and was actively involved in the Holocaust, but I thought I'd at least escape hanging."

This fight has nothing to do with soldierly gallantry or principles of the Geneva Convention. If the fight against the partisans in the East, as well as in the Balkans, is not waged with the most brutal means, we will shortly reach the point where the available forces are insufficient to control the area. It is therefore not only justified, but it is the duty of the troops to use all means without restriction, even against women and children, so long as it ensures success. Any consideration for the partisans is a crime against the German people. • December 16, 1942.

Seriously. Tell me this doesn’t sound like Hegseth or Miller:

I’m very serious when I say this:

Listen to what people like Miller and Hegseth are saying.

Then go read what Wilhelm Keitel, a Nazi general who authorized war crimes on the Eastern front, said about who they were fighting and the the need—not the right, the NEED—to commit war crimes as a result.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

YouTube video by penta-mania Candice LeRae (With Johnny Gargano) Entrance: WWE SmackDown, February 27, 2026

Watch Candace’s entrance from Smackdown. It’s gold.

Ciampa left WWE for AEW a couple weeks ago, and ever since then, Gargano’s been doing a depressed wrestler bit with Candace carting him around and being exasperated. Gargano is approaching Truth/Danhausen levels of absurdist comedy with this bit.

Johnny Gargano lying facedown on a crate while other wrestlers make fun of him and his wife pushes the crate.

That's not true. But Gandalf fought Durin's Bane, a Balrog of Morgoth, from the Bridge of Khazad-dum, up the Endless Stair to the peak of Zirakzigil until Darkness took him and he strayed out of thought and time and wandered far on roads that he will not tell to avoid an interview with Chotiner.

Another data point for "everyone in this administration is twelve"

Is he the dude that punched a reporter, or is that a different member of the illustrious Montana congressional delegation?

Okay, but what's Chris Bosch in this scenario? Wealth Tax? UBI?

Once again, for those in the back:

Electric Woke-aloo

WE 👏 DO 👏 NOT 👏 KINK 👏 SHAME 👏

No shame, but why do so many people have a public humilation kink?

Bruterous sounds like the name of a Temu Decepticon.

Not going to lie, my immediate thought is that that professor should be fired.

My colleagues, do your fucking jobs yourselves like god damn adults. If you don't want to grade it, don't assign it.

This kind of shit is so ridiculous it wouldn’t even make the script for the next Call of Duty game.

Seriously. The number of times I’ve heard a politician say “we have to ban x because it’s haram” is exactly zero. Meanwhile, the number of politicians who publicly say that if we’re making sweet little Baby Jesus will start crying is so large I’m shocked there’s not a DEUS VULT sign at the Capitol.

“Mr. Secretary, Operation: Boom Boom Good is proceeding as planned.”

“There are a bunch of religious nuts running around this country”

“who have deeply perverted their faith”

[continues nodding]

“and are trying to impose their theocratic values on the entire nation.”

[nods vigorously]

“These Muslims with their Sharia Law…”

[wait, what now?]
