Putin is slaughtering Ukrainians to prove to his supporters that he can slaughter Ukrainians

Bibi is slaughtering Palestinians to prove to his supporters that he can slaughter Palestinians

Trump is slaughtering random fishermen to prove to his supporters that they can slaughter Hispanics

Much is being made, including by me, of how these mooks stood there grinning as Trump spewed a steady stream of vile racism appalling even for him. But watch Antonio Filosa, the Italian CEO of Stellantis (formerly Chrysler)
For sanity, mute the sound, then scroll to 1:40 and watch him.

now if you'll excuse me I'm going to put on THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT

whether or not something like e.g. DIE HARD is a "christmas movie" matters less than whether it's christm-*ish*: i.e., it includes many of the trappings of the holidays without all of the requirements of the genre

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling”

Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

you forgot prometheus, an oversight that I'm sure was unintentional

(I actually do really like prometheus, this is not a bit)

Exclusive | Survivors of Boat Strike Were Actively Continuing Drug Mission, Admiral to Tell Lawmakers Adm. Frank “Mitch” Bradley, the commander of the September attack, is set to provide an account of his role for the first time in a closed briefing.

wasn't there an old cartoon where the character is driving like a tank; the tank gets blown up, leaving a truck; then *that* gets blown up, leaving a car; and so on until they're on like roller skates?

I dunno - maybe I imagined it. anyway apparently that's now an official defense of war crimes

well you'll sure get a hell of a lot more interviews that way than I did when my resume included "inexperienced gay person"

welp, fellow cubs fans, hope we all enjoyed this season, because that's probably all of the winning we can realistically expect for the next 4-6 years. those fancy hotels in wrigleyville don't pay for themselves when the team pisses away a bunch of money on "payroll"

been thinking about this vid a lot the last couple of days, extremely applicable here

I've said it before but dem leadership is fucking pathological about the use of "although [concession to/compliment of opponent], nevertheless [actual point]" rhetorical structure. they've *got to* stop using it because in the current environment it does much, MUCH more harm than good

well, shit

trump accepting hegseth's resignation (probably performatively grudgingly) in exchange for a blanket pardon covering his tenure as secdef sounds extremely plausible to me

top motherfucking rope shit here, this is how you do it

I literally just posted about how people should stop giving them attention unless they have a *really* good joke, then moments later I saw that you'd already posted exhibit fucking A. incredible

above all: DO NOT GIVE ANY OF THEM MONEY, especially directly (book purchases, substack subscriptions)

I suppose a good joke would be fine, but it better be *really* good

seems like we should all at this point be Officially Over It re: the salacious & hilarious elements of nuzzi, lizza, & rfk jr. imo the only good reasons to mention them going forward are to draw attention to something that might help permanently destroy their careers and/or put them in prison

rob is not alone: back in 1998, I too covered buckley's cover of hallelujah, in public, on purpose. some might call me an idiot, but the way I like to think of it is that god gives his hardest battles* to his strongest soldiers**

(* = contending with my own idiocy)

(** = I am an atheist)

it's true that the swastika tattoo I've had for 20+ years resembles a nazi symbol, otoh here is a photo of me holding up a power tool of some sort

it didn’t *resemble* a nazi symbol, it *is* a nazi symbol, and he was told this, repeatedly, for years. tame your fucking boner for white working class cosplayers, this should be fucking embarrassing to write and publish under your own name

it'll be extremely funny to see his reaction after all of this gross, gaudy, absolutely ridiculous bullshit gets torn down the moment he leaves office

for god's sake, don't give any of these people that much attention, and *especially* don't give them a single dime of your money

becoming santa claus but insisting on spelling it chris cringle

"you look worried, babe," my wife says. "what's on your mind?"

"oh," I reply, "nothing too important, just, you know, the sexual preferences & practices of men ages 14-21, and the corresponding implications for the future of western society"

as I am signing the divorce papers the following monday,

if I had a nickel for every time a celebrated wwii sniper from near the arctic circle became kris kringle,

simo häyhä went through a The Santa Clause situation many years ago. few know this

fuck yooooou
