See, it’s shit like this that makes me wish I believed in hell, because surely there is no earthly punishment fit for someone who insider trades mass killing.

Sadly, everyone who works for FIFA lacks the part of the brain that controls shame. It’s a whole severance thing, you have to get it removed before you can get onto payroll 😔

I ultimately decided not to add “did all this while living in a fascist police state under an authoritarian regime that hates all that I am and everything I stand for” to my third-year review but honestly I do think I should get bonus points for that

"actually, there was no school, it was a school they bombed themselves, there was a military base beneath a school - all these things are 100% true at once, but also one thing's for sure, they were Iranians, and so isn't it rather suspicious that you care about whether or not they live or die?"

Guys he's not starting a war to distract from the Epstein files. He's starting a war because he wants to start a war. Killing people in other countries makes him horny. If it also distracts from the Epstein files, great, but he doesn't really give a shit either way.

It sure would be a bummer if Iran retaliated by hacking the US and giving everyone an 850 credit score and eliminating student debt 🤞🤞

Bluesky this, twitter that: look, I know in my bones that if I were still on twitter, I would have seen at least three unlovable fascist chuds by now posting about “bombsmaxxing” or “regime change mogging” or whatever, so I’d call that a point for this platform.

I swear, every single time I play The Chicks’ “Travelin’ Soldier,” she poses like she’s waiting for her husband to return from the war.

Do I thank Alysa Liu in my book acknowledgments? Because I’ve watched her freeskate routine approximately five times a day since it came out to try to feel that kind of unbridled, fearless joy as I approach my manuscript deadline next week and it has honestly helped.

The author of the article clearly got his facts about Albania (never under Stalin’s rule) and the Soviet Union by asking ChatGPT “how would Ronald Reagan describe the USSR,” but the highlight to me is this random Buffalo woman hanging a “Bills Mafia” flag and confusing/scaring her neighbors.

Suddenly a whole lot of bootlicking politicians are very upset about the use of lethal force against a fishing vessel
