It's ok to think that Trump voters are stupid.

I'll concede that this message might have some appeal to some subgroup of Democratic voters. But what makes me wary about Schumer's leadership is that his staff isn't sophisticated enough to know that none of those voters are here on Bluesky.

Lord, let me teleport briefly to Keife and Co.

Went to look for a bottle of sherry and going to liquor stores in California after living in New Orleans is like the end of Goodfellas where Henry Hill is talking about getting pasta in Arizona.

There's an entire genre of person in academia who is always dressed as if they're about to go hiking and if this is acceptable, I should be able to show up to work all fitness goth as well.

We must never forget that other song where he samples Sweet Home Alabama and Werewolves of London, but also rhymes "things" with "things."

Libertarianism's greatest asset is that liberals feel better pretending that they speak for Republicans rather than theocrats and eugenicists.

The problem with libertarianism is that it's an intellectually consistent conservative worldview that's compatible with liberal democracy, but it's also one that's only held by like 28 people in the United States.

If you send me a Christmas card that has your family on one side and your dog on the other, you can't get mad when you come to my house and see it hanging on the dog side.

All of those companies see the bills coming due for the data centers and are realizing AGI isn't coming in time to save them.

They should start showing cut scenes of Santa Clara. Give us a dilapidated 1970s strip mall and an 8 lane arterial road. Show us how many restaurants are already closed even though it's only 5:30.

Imagine if all the old White people watching this knew he was just saying "Abolish ICE" over and over again.

John Milius.

I left the Bay Area as a teenager and haven't really spent any time there in like 15 years. But whenever I see things like this--simultaneously the dumbest kind of weird and the weirdest kind of dumb--I get really homesick and nostalgic.

The way I tensed up at even reading the name "Dean Preston."
