Briefly mistook this for the latest bizarre Kash Patel story

A chef in a game’s ad tries to cut a lemon in mid air with an invisible knife

A man in a game’s ad sits at a computer, his hands and the computer monitor seem to glitch around each other.

There are a few hints…

Having had a zillion crappy jobs dealing with crappy people, I still like these games. They let you imagine the pleasure of bringing people their dinner for a living while also being paid and treated well by your employers and customers.

People get so clever explaining how their bigotry is not bigotry but some other, more polite, thing.

Aurane Waters. No idea why I should trust Cersei’s taste in men, but I feel like I get it.

Pirate bastard twink? Okay.

Putting aside that Sam is Frodo’s servant — some people within any ethnicity of course browner than others. As much as I wish Tolkien had made a racially diverse shire (and support adaptations doing so!) I don’t think that was his intent.

However you might try to reframe orcs and elves outside of a “light skin good” message, the Easterlings are an unambiguous problem.

If I get to heaven it will be because assholes have made it very useful to know what’s in the bible.

This was posted to Mandy Patinkin and Kathryn Grody's TikTok. Sharing because I know how some of you feel about Mandy. I'm sorry they relied on auto captions, which don't populate when you download a video.

I’ve said this to my mother enough times that she finally shut up about it.

Sicily looks like a slightly different color from the rest…

Sexy & Sad? Sexy & Sweaty? Sexy and Poor?

He’s not even running for a federal office! This would be a silly frame even if it were about an individual candidate for the House, let alone someone whose policies will have no impact on 49/50 states.

I remember as a young writer realizing that when I daydreamed a beautiful paragraph, it actually wasn’t much. I had just told myself it was going to be great, and believed it.

Everything AI does is that beautiful paragraph you think you’ve written but haven’t.

He was the best part of Romulus. Even before he started doing all those fun personality switches, his performance was super interesting and magnetic. Love that guy.

Is it the other guy? The one from Alien Romulus?

I think it was announced but hasn’t happened yet

Medea: I thought you supported a woman’s reproductive autonomy?

A screenshot of a post on X that reads: Cuomo, talking to conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg this morning: "God forbid, another 9/11—can you imagine Mamdani in the seat?" Cuomo asks. "He'd be cheering," Rosenberg says. Cuomo paused and chuckled before saying: "That's another problem."

Just disgusting.

“he wrote what?”

I can’t imagine anyone using their full faculties could buy that. This is such a huge disaster and so discouraging I feel like people won’t let themselves look at it squarely.

There’s so much potential in reviving conservative crime theories and applying them to the ruling class.

For example, it’s increasingly clear that a large percentage of oligarch crimes are committed by a relatively small group of “Superpredators”. And we should apply our resources to them first.

Wait. Do they both work at the milking farm? Does *the bull* milk *her*? Are the cows also anthropomorphic and jacked?

Right. I’d hope any decent person would rather get a big block of ink scribbled over it than leave it there.

dear god

Chelsea Clinton running on an identical platform to Donald Trump Jr: <.1%

I think you are imagining things you don’t like about me because you’d rather not admit my original point was good.

Having this conversation in no way precludes me from doing other things. I am very special in that way.

I don’t mean propaganda aimed at leftists, I mean propaganda aimed at our opponents. I’m specifically saying leftists are able to understand what Pelosi said and also see a rhetorical opportunity.

We can just relentlessly attack Republicans and stigmatize conciliatory or ambivalent speech about them. In fact right now it’s pretty urgent we do so.
