Polite Yet Ultimately Malevolent Mailman

That confident smug grin is the staple of a society failing in its quality control. No one saying this shit outloud should be able to do it without shaking in fear and looking over his shoulder. Decades worth of QC bullies failed us all by not rearranging Nick's teeth on a regular basis.

This $29 million settlement is a good counter to the fact that the cop who murdered this poor woman laughed and referred to her as a person of "limited value" immediately following the crash.

(also im pretty sure that's not him in the photo?)

Oh cmon fuck this. Turning on Cake for the next hour in this household. RIP :(

We always have the fancy shit around the house because I love to cook with it. Thank God it tastes nothing like olives.

If a single olive was put in vague proximity to the rest of a salad, the whole thing is ruined.

The two of you combined for the answer. Olives and black licorice.

To my mind, there is such a simple test to do here for people who think AI has some sort of magic face reveal power:

Put on a ski mask. Go to the mirror. Take a selfie. Upload it to Grok or wherever else. Ask it to remove the mask. Does it look anything like you?

I don't mean they taste like paint thinner, mind you, I mean my body kicks into the same self defense "this could be poison" mode.

There are two food on here that genuinely, to me, feel like they are not meant to be consumed by human beings. I don't mean that in any sort of hyperbolic way, either. I mean it literally. I put it in my mouth and have the same reaction one might from consuming paint thinner. Any guesses?

I powered through in the technically-true sense that I didn't turn it off, but I definitely checked out.

The whole thing just stunk of "We Definitely Think We're Doing Something Special Here"

The #1 crime in Culver City is probably rich people tax evasion and I'm quite sure Pam has no interest in stopping that.

And the thing that got us all those benefits is also what allowed us to get a greater share of our labor's value. At the peak of unions, CEO and worker pay were in a much tighter ratio. You're not even arguing a separate thing, you're just pedantically repackaging and reframing. Just shut up, my man

Do you think, when someone says "here's what we should be doing," throwing your hands up in defeat and saying "here's why that will never happen" is a particularly useful contribution?

I dunno man, maybe bring back the Eisenhower era tax rates on shmucks like Musk and Bezos and Zuckerberg like "the left" have been insisting upon for years.

Meanwhile a soon to be trillionaire has an army of right wing unemployed losers groveling at his feet for the chance at a re-tweet. The closest thing to a "plan" any of em have is hoping Elon gives em a ride off the planet.

You know which side has constantly made a point of emphasizing the massive upward transfer of wealth in the last few decades? You know which side thinks workers should, at a minimum, vastly increase their share of the proceeds of their labor?

Even if I accept the premise that AI is coming for all our jobs in the next decade, it isnt *the left* that needs to reckon with it. The left has spent decades endlessly advocating for a massive expansion of the social safety net. *The right* is the side whose only plan is "find a job or die, loser"

It was a party balloon by all accounts, but the mad scramble by the FAA to shut down the airspace suggests to me the balloon wasn't the only thing in the victinity when these idiots decided to go High Tech Annie Oakley on some mylar.

Do you think we'll ever get to find out just how close Pete Hegseth came to MH17-ing an American passenger jet?

This might legit be the worst song ever written. I don't think any parody would have even gone this far.

Debuting my new song about how hard it is to just be me at the big show created just for me so I wouldn't have to see anyone else.

When this administration is behind bars and the dust has finally settled, Oprah Winfrey must answer for her crimes.

I wonder if they were hoping Jeffrey could supply the crudites.

This is legit exactly what it felt like delivering during the peak of covid

God, PBF was the best webcomic

There was that one MAGA guy in the viral video who was wailing "they killed him" and "I loved that guy" on the day of, and I think he was the one True Believer who was surprised to find out everyone else was just sorta milking it

Sometimes it's hard to tell, when a right wing agitator says something this utterly, breathtakingly stupid, if they're just trying to rile up their followers. When Elon says it, however, there is no doubt. He genuinely is just that fucking stupid.

I'm sure it's not nothing, and in a lot of M.I.C. sectors it's much more even between the two parties, but for-profit prison is a pretty thoroughly GOP dominated area right now.
