everything is anti-semitism except for actual anti-semitism, which is fine

I love adding this one data point to economic charts. It works every time.

Despite seeing several people I totally trust say this was real I still felt I had to verify it with my own eyes. And having done so I still can't believe it's real.

Everytime…

my hope is that AI can empower the Dumbest, Least talented slobs i know to replace everything i ever loved with One Million Years of Content

This is only true if you don’t adjust for inflation. Video game systems were low-key hella expensive when we were kids!

let him, uh, cook

I mean, what even is this? "What could have easily been going on" is a bizarre way of saying "There is no evidence that this happened".

compressed version of american history: 1. The Matrix is released 2. America immediately ends

My uncle who runs a guitar factory had a shipment of stainless steel go missing and is in quite a panic about it, I tried to console him but maybe I should've worded it better, "don't fret" was a bit insensitive in retrospect

Balatro predicted an egg that gets more expensive forever, and nobody listened

NEW RETIREMENT PLAN JUST DROPPED BOYS

Trump rode to political prominence on birtherism and spent the last month of his campaign claiming that Haitians were eating cats. The rise of authoritarianism in America *must* be understood as a misinformation crisis.

I have been getting a surprising number of questions about CIA's low-confidence announcement that they believe SARS-CoV-2 came from a lab. A few comments in 🧵, but to summarize: 1️⃣ No new intelligence 2️⃣ No new report 3️⃣ No evidence exist to support SARS-CoV-2 came from lab 4️⃣ Usual nonsense More 👇

Yeah, this is pretty obvious but worth stressing. Also, the idea that techbro coders with no experience in government are best able to identify and root out “fraud” is laughable

Mitch is a big part of how we got here. He did it for personal power and money. He doesn't have the option of rehabilitating his image because something personally affected him and he is reaching the end of his years.

This is an important point I think. Opposition to Musk isn't based on philosophical or political views. It's between people who know when they're being conned and people who don't. Whether we still have a functioning country after this depends on how many of us fall for the wallet inspector gag

re-reading this tweet every few years with a new perspective on who "we" refers to

MOTHERFUCKERS YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GAIN ANYTHING "STRATEGY"-WISE BY GIVING TRUMP AN INCH ON ANYTHING NO MATTER HOW MUCH RAHM WANTS TO WATCH BABIES DIE

Someone save this for the history books. It’s like if we had a photo of Nero actually fiddling. bsky.app/profile/josh...

I hope someone does story about the people who were up in arms about Hillary Clinton using a private server who are now okay with Musk and his teenage band of IT interns getting access to everyone's Social Security numbers and classified info

US Politics in a nutshell

"New year, new you" I tell my reflection as I change absolutely nothing about me or my environment

I have a similar frustration about pandemic coverage: way too many stories (especially on the right) about how pandemic concerns were overblown and we over-responded when in fact millions of Americans died and the measures we took were the reason that wasn't tens of millions.

If the crucial factor in democratic backsliding is the removal of constraints on predatory right-wing populists, then it's the Citizens United ruling in 2010, not Trump's run for the presidency in 2015, that was the final nail in the coffin.

The National Retail Federation (NRF) will not release its 2024 annual survey because it "did not reinforce the industry’s preferred narrative that shoplifting is a growing problem that demands an aggressive state and federal response."

Beloved murderer canceled after old tweets surface

Ugh FINE I'll show up to work "sober" to lead the department of defense. YES without "sexually assaulting" everyone, christ anything else?

the entire panic about pharmacy shoplifting was obviously falsified and promoted by the group that stood to benefit the most from that panic: manufacturers of little glass doors for medium sized shelves

I’m relatively young and in good health so this may come as a surprise, but I’ve decided to check into hospice care.

I’d do anything for my kids but I draw the line at blowing Steve from Minecraft.

33 degrees Fahrenheit out but "feels like 16." ok, why did you even lead with the first one. how it feels is what I will be experiencing! this is a phenomenological universe baby!!

Statler has been crowned PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive 2024.

Not evil enough for Twitter, not stupid enough for Threads, and so we find ourselves here at the ass end of the internet together
