Uh-oh! Worst person you know learned therapy words

Unemployable alcoholic, laborer in a furniture warehouse who came back from WWII smoking three-four packs a day and died before I was born.

I get it, Doomerism is bad. It’s also hard to imagine any kind of functional politics in a nation of 300 million newborn babies learning everything for the very first time every couple of weeks.

There are many contenders here, but maybe the most depressing thing about being alive right now is that no one remembers anything that happened more than about a day ago.

Blame what you want - social media, the internet writ large, AI - but a couple years ago might as well be the Middle Ages.

The best is in an International terminal when the entire crew dressed like a Commodores tribute band from one of those high-end Asian airlines forms a phalanx the width of the corridor, slowly advancing as if with bayonets fixed.

The Massachusetts Department of Correction has been fighting me for months, trying to withhold data about its collaboration with ICE.

Yesterday, I won that fight, and obtained records showing that the state has transferred more than 2,000 people into ICE custody since 2009.

A quick thread:

"doing actual politics is beneath us" is such a productive attitude, I wonder if people will ever be capable of considering where that attitude has gotten liberalism.

me, watching a child with a toy steering wheel and arguing that it proves he can drive the car just as good as mommy and daddy: these parents are really in denial

Verrrrry gooood, Mr Shapiro.

Cruise missiles are uniquely slow to resupply. Supposedly Raytheon is only capable of making about 200 annually, maximum. We lobbed 400 at Iran in 36 hours!

Anyway, I do not think it's possible to make more of a banger about the topic of push-button war

"ChatGPT, make me more missiles"

"Actually I can't do that, General Podcast. I can only give you ideas on how to make more missiles yourself."

"OK go"

"Return to 1970 and do not systematically dismantle your ability to manufacture anything except Shareholder Value."

"ChatGPT write me a will."

I wonder if any other nation Americans consider one of our geopolitical Rivals noticed that four days of lobbing missiles at Iran from afar reduced the president to screaming at defense contractor CEOs to conjur up more missiles instantly because we're running out.

Sure, why not

The New York Times clearly just saying Crockett is a progressive and Talarico is a moderate because Crockett is black and Talarico is white

Well, it's a bonus to have a parent who knows where that is, I guess?

Ever read a sentence that feels like you're having a stroke

Everybody just stop and explain to me how to get paid to do this

Tired: Mrs. Columbo is imaginary

Wired: Columbo is imaginary; he represents the guilty consciences of the killers slowly driving them mad until they confess

There isn't a lot about our politics that can make us feel joy these days, but the fact that Trump is obviously going to tell Zohran Mamdani he loves him before he says it to any of his biological children or his wife...that's gonna sustain me for a minute.

I think you’re forgetting about when Dick Mell and rod Blagojevich found another random guy named Jesse Jackson Jr and put him on the dem primary ballot against Jesse Jackson Jr.

Richard Jeni and Bobcat Golthwait getting rock hard from beyond the grave

I don’t care if they’re still alive, don’t tell me

“Poland announces it will develop nuclear weapons” ok so we’re just putting the news on a tee for 80s stand-up comics now huh

Is AIPAC money in politics bad? Yes. But the Christian Right's money, power, and influence is far bigger, and they just can't wait to get Armageddon going

It's amazing the way these people can speak with such brazen confidence while revealing that they are scrambling for a solution to a foreseeable problem they've obviously never thought about before. Guy who demanded to fly the plane trying to sound cocky on the PA while asking GPT "how do i land."
