for anyone who looks at the predicted electoral college realignment in 2030 and starts running around with their hair on fire, here's the blue state problem in a nutshell: people want to live there but can't

build

more

houses

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

With all due respect to the AM social media team, I don’t think they understand what they’re dealing with here.

they're driving the country into abysmal debt to build exorbitant detention centers where they will imprison you once you are too broke to afford a home

God bless the Scots

this may explain why my drop-shipping novelty headstone side-hustle is suddenly sold out of "he soiled himself at the end"

loving the classic deadspin energy here

I was so ready to cringe and hate whatever thing he was gonna say, so ready for it to be inauthentic and self serving, but I’ll be honest, Hunter won me over here.

historians are shining right now

talk about a rush of blood to the head

the Fox News-iverse attacks on Dems' weakness writ large push Ds onto their back foot, on the defensive, performing masculinity, etc

it's harder to use that line of attack against a guy who cheerfully goes on the offensive and calls your entire news operation a right-wing fainting couch

suggestion: mute this audio, instead jump to 2:30 of the Gipsy Kings' "Bamboleo" and hit play on both simultaneously

Sometimes I daydream that all of these grievance bits are about to feel cringfully dated. "I'm still trying to wrap my mind around pronouns" will be the new "so what's the deal with airline food?"

elite work here, Ariel

beside the point, but: jeez, what an absolutely gorgeous park that is

timeline cleanse for the ages

@acyn on twitter "Someone at fox news must've hit the emergency switch because now they're airing a Biden blunder mix"

I guess this is the GOP's version of Swan Lake

used to be that a picture cost about a dollar to shoot and develop. and a dollar was worth something. hitting the shutter and having to wait, sometimes weeks, to see what came out made for genuine thrills

gent you should really delete this and in the future reconsider whether to amplify TikToks from user876153022127

He's a table-setter. A mistake-eraser. A charmer without flattery. An octagonal Marie Kondo. An Irish goodbye who always pays his tab first.

Phoenix police chopper writes the name ‘ALEX’ in middle of the night Who is Alex? And was buzzing a Maryvale neighborhood in the middle of the night worth the flight of spelling fancy?

From @tjlheureux.bsky.social:

this gave me a flashback to 2009-2015 twitter. excellent stuff.

the anchor played it perfectly. the father played it perfectly. no one knew their role and YET —! the power of improv!

quietly it prepared us all for the awkward 2020s of on-camera work meetings invading our homes. no one can say this family didn't warn us of the perils

the best thing that's ever happened on the internet. pure slapstick. highbrow colliding with lowbrow like two atmospheric pressure systems. the peak of online comedy. possibly the peak of civilization full stop.

BBC will no longer broadcast ‘high risk’ performances

give it two weeks, this will be used to claim the bill passed with bipartisan input

hey guys I read wikipedia and it turns out we're all gonna die at the end. so we can just not, anymore.
