Khamenei is going to drop the Winds of Winter.

"Politicians from the opposition party being detained" has become a thing that happens on a regular basis.

It’s lowkey hilarious that a group of alleged Alpha Males who love Jesus, freedom and/or fitness have fully cucked themselves to a corrupt degenerate slob.

This was the heart of Biden's (failed) strategy: trust voters to reward Dems for being responsible stewards of power by passing as much normie legislation as he could get through a 50-50 Senate. He was reviled for it even before Israel ravaged Gaza because info sources told voters to hate him.

if there’s one pleasure i wish i could convey to younger people it’s the feeling of leaving the house with this device knowing you’ll be listening to Garbage’s self-titled debut the entire day and won’t have the option of a different album

sure, the world is going up in flames, there's unrest in the streets, and America has become a global punchline, but at least Trump voters made the handful of trans athletes in the country feel extra bad

He took me to see the 1988 re-release of "The Manchurian Candidate" when I was 10 and it was (and remains) the coolest shit ever

Quick reminder that the majority of Americans live in cities, "real America" is urban, and when people scream obscenities about cities they are screaming obscenities about America.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

it's all great replacement conspiracy theories and election denialism. he's attacking cities and immigrants because he thinks that anyone who votes against him is unamerican and deserves to be deported.

They finally caught the son of a bitch

Political violence is not an incidental risk which they are merely negligent about managing and policing. It is their Schmittian central premise. Political violence against their enemies *is* the ideology itself. That's what illiberal populism is. There's no such thing as a peaceful form of it.

Ben Garrison does neo-cubist paintings of Wild West themes and they're unironically cool and good

Oh cool we’re bad again #LGM #Mets

Brian Wilson started recording versions of Shortenin’ Bread in the early 1970s and didn’t stop until the Obama Administration. So what I’m saying is not every story has a lesson.

and what rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches toward Flushing to be born?

If someone tells you this charade was to celebrate the military show them this photo. Who and what do you see at the center. This propaganda shot cost millions of dollars to produce. Every element is intentional.

for a second i thought this said curtis granderson and i was so moved

Conservatives will say America is back and they’ll be watching Jason Aldean and Pitbull do a duet called “Small town mama, country MILF” in front of the Coast Guard

Me watching the Rays put up another 5-run inning at Citi Field

nice

If it wasn't for Trump tearing the Iran deal, we wouldn't be in this war. We're all clear on that, yes?

where do they find these fucking people

Yeah, I'm rooting for the discrediting of the Israeli Right, the fall of Bibi's govt, and some jail time for the worst malefactors in it. And of course I want to see the Iranian regime destroyed. Gone. Murderous criminals who literally resorted to poisoning schoolchildren.

Citi Field organist playing "Stand" followed by "God Only Knows," gotta love it

It took me another 13 years and 6 months to quit drinking. I know I'm supposed to live in the now, not focus on all the time I lost, but it's hard sometimes

There is currently exactly one person watching ALF en Español right now

King: from Brian Wilson’s AMA

SQUIRREL

What Trump did at Ft. Bragg today was a propaganda exercise and I would be real hesitant to extrapolate anything from it, lest you fall prey to the propaganda yourself.

I’m sorry, but the base of the Democratic Party is a middle aged black woman with a service sector job that does not know what BlueSky is, and upon being exposed to it, would swiftly and correctly conclude that we all need to log off and find Jesus.

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

A crucial point. I’ll add: The paranoid accusations gain plausibility on the Right not because of empirical evidence, but because they adhere to the “Higher Truth” that governs rightwing politics: “Real” America is under siege from a fundamentally illegitimate coalition of leftist and alien enemies.

I didn't know this!

when he's right, he's right

calling out the National Guard for this is absurd and should be mocked

Nathan is 100% correct about this.

This isn't actually funny at all; it's a window into Trump's worldview, because he absolutely expected any German official to be upset over the Nazis losing. Because if Trump were German, he would be. Because things like "they were fucking Nazis" are way less important to him than "on my team"
