Finally started this book tonight and it's definitely living up to the hype

Remember how if a kid choked on a little plastic toy they used to stop selling the toy

MIKE TYSON BLOW TO THE FACE

I saw Clipse perform last night and it was so good it almost restored my faith in humanity

I took a native plant conservation class through the State Botanical Garden of Georgia last weekend, and our instructor threaded a lot of memes throughout her lessons. This one was my favorite

definitely increased your life expectancy too!

This really feels like a defining post of our time

god I can't wait to leave the US

The student newspaper.
This fell. To the student. Newspaper.

"I was wrong" is one of the most rare phrases you will ever see on the internet (ESPECIALLY on social media) and even then, nine times out of ten it's followed by the word "BUT" and then you get gems like this

all the other predators watching their buddy fight with Arnold on a giant TV:

it's really silly to try to pin down one single culprit for something like differences in weight between different populations, especially when it's obviously very bad for Americans that our food is much less healthy AND we move much less than other countries

One of the key strengths of MAGA is that, like Sartre's antisemite, they are sincere about nothing while being capricious and cruel about everything, so it's basically impossible to have a public debate about their positions, since they don't have any sustained positions.

He called Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib his heroes. Mamdani has invoked Omar and Tlaib—two progressive lawmakers known for their opposition to Israel—nearly a dozen times. In most instances, he pointed to them as examples of the kind of leadership he aimed to bring to Queens. “Growing up, I watched congressmen call for hearings on the radicalization of Muslims,” he wrote on X. “Today, I get to watch @IlhanMN & @RashidaTlaib grill corporate CEOs in hearings on behalf of working people.” Then, before linking to his donation site, he added: “Help us follow in their footsteps.”

Bari says her website's mission is to promote "ideological diversity" and "open debate" but this entire piece is just smearing someone for holding beliefs she disagrees with.

aa far as I can tell her entire beat is just trying to damage Zohran, I'm sure Bari is gonna have a whole team on this beat by the end of August

Hulk Hogan truly was the real America: an icon you were dutifully instructed to adore as a child and then every single piece of information about what he was, what he did, and what he thought about things made you hate him more and more, and in a way, yourself for falling for it.

The complicated joy of outliving someone you used to watch on TV who wound up helping destroy one of the best places you ever worked, and hastened the decline of the American journalism ecosystem

it's still so insane to think about like I have to physically stop myself from starting to talk about how Hulk Hogan directly affected my career whenever I hear someone bring him up

RIP Hulk Hogan. Thank you for Thunder in Paradise and playing your part in making professional journalism go extinct 🫡

guess their tagline was a promise

“porn is dangerous” is fascist propaganda

the new Islanders is great

I could see Elon being so insecure that he needs to have gay men fawn over him even though he probably insists he's totally not gay in any way no matter what you've heard

given how profoundly awkward and socially maladjusted he is he may find it easier to flirt with men than women too

incredible that Bari Weiss can extend her grievances from college to being mad at someone who DIDN'T EVEN GET INTO THE SCHOOL

"I’ve learned through faculty reviews that allowed me to compare my own workload to (senior male) colleagues’ at elite schools, I’ve paid forward a few lifetimes’ worth of service, and I have no desire to keep sacrificing myself for institutions I no longer trust or regard as sustainable."

Episode 10: Liver King "No shoes, no shirt, no problems." — Kenny Chesney

We finally got around to discussing The Liver King, one of my all-time manosphere icons, and perhaps the most vivid example of a core dynamic of the manosphere, which is the way it peddles extreme eating disorder content with little to no pushback from anyone: open.substack.com/pub/machopod...

Screenshot of a social media post by LynnDee the Librarian (@lynndeeslibrary). Profile shows a smiling woman. Post text reads: 'A patron came in this week needing to borrow a laptop bc they had a virtual job interview. We were able to provide a laptop & internet, + the space 2 do the interview. & they got the job. THAT is the power of public libraries. #librarylife

Because everyone deserves a shot 🎯
