It’s so incredible that funding televised ethnic cleansing with our tax dollars counts as “doing a good enough job” to you, and that you see no issue with this logic

This is such fucking insanity lol, it is absolutely a political candidate’s job to motivate voters. That is literally the job. My word

There’s not much point in trying to debate with these people sadly. You by yourself may have done more to further the Harris campaign’s chances of winning than anything *the Harris campaign* did, but the moment you say one negative thing about them you’re the reason they lost.

These dorks type out these posts and earnestly think they’ve made a great point

You don’t need an expert in human consciousness to explain why the predictive text function on your phone isn’t “conscious” folks

I'd have to check again but I'm pretty sure it has 2 different readings and one of them is the active level

And at least in the state I'm in, I'm pretty sure the charge for one is nearly identical to the other anyway

Just imagine the international outcry if Lebanon had invaded Israel to recover 40-year-old remains and killed 26 people in the process.

It would be the biggest story in the world. All the victims would be lionized as heroes. Israel would start 3 new wars off it while the whole world cheered.

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

Field sobriety tests are basically a formality if there’s other probable cause, sadly. If the cop had other reason to believe he was high, all that really matters is the blood sample.

Most appropriate use of the gif in its history maybe

I learned more from Intro Soc at the University of Utah (shouts Frank Page, the greatest professor of all time) than any other college course I ever took - and that's as someone who majored in and got a bachelor's in sociology.

Becomes a 2nd if LA makes the playoffs, which makes it like 8% less awful. But still awful

This post saddens me

Fair that tracks

Prediction: Dave will say at least 2-3 things about Trump and/or the current state of the world that remind everyone he's one of the realest dudes on the planet as they get clipped all over the internet

...John are you wearing the same shirt in both pictures

My little guy learning to ice skate

The world is a horrifying place but this little dude is perfect and he makes it okay

"We used the plagiarism robot that's ruining humanity's art and stealing everyone's job to help us drop thousands of bombs on people" is overwhelmingly dark

I think they'll be more like 6-10 range depending what happens this summer

Going to be fun to see which national NBA writer goes the most overboard with their Jazz optimism next year. Someone is going to pick them to be, like, 3rd in the West

I believe that's a direct repeat of a Netanyahu line?

Second part is the biggest. It's just so near impossible to accumulate that wealth as a person with any empathy

Weird how almost none of the politicians we elected to represent our interests support this.

Seems like your country has a big fucking problem if >50% of the people clearly want something and none of the elected officials will do it.

TBH seems like a perfect presidential candidate when you put it that way

Turns out lots of us struggle to control eating habits at times in our lives! Who knew (not the highest paid media member on earth)

I regularly think about how insane the weight gain would be if someone with my habits was a professional athlete and then retired. I would set records. I'd go from game shape to 400lbs in like a year

I thought maybe I remembered some food stuff from one of the "Pelicans are mad at Zion" reports from a few summers ago? Maybe. But even if so...and? He's 6'6, 280! Of course he fucking eats a lot!

(BTW if anyone follows me has these issues - particularly snacking addiction, that's my big thing - and is looking for solutions, hit me up. Have found some stuff that works over the years.)

Oh for sure, him being hilariously wrong about the foundational issue is also a thing here. His ability to be wrong in multiple lame ways is unmatched

I'm lucky, my food dependence is limited and I've been (mostly) able to manage it. I know many people who aren't so fortunate and have had major health issues as a result. Shut the fuck up, Stephen A
