Trump is the hero of his story. I think Elon thinks he’s the hero of *our* story.

These two psychos have access to all your personal data, by the way.

I'll never get over how the best line in all of noir – "I've got eight slugs in me. One's lead, and the rest are bourbon" – doesn't come from Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett, but Calvin and Hobbes

Friday's NY Post cover doesn't disappoint:

Notice how Super Mario and all his supposed “enemies” are happy to get together and go go-kart racing? Wake up. It’s all kayfabe

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty. My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

Any Democrat who suggests embracing Musk should be forced to spend an hour with him

watching people on x who have invested heavily in supporting both musk and trump try to navigate the cognitive dissonance and some of the results are just objectively funny

the tech right suddenly discovers due process

My Canadian university, Queen's, is offering TWENTY 4-year funded PhDs (40k CAD/yr) for a student of ANY citizenship who has been accepted at a top 100 US university but have had offer rescinded OR are reconsidering offer due to US policy. Details found here👇 www.queensu.ca/grad-postdoc...

I like how the timeline is measured in minutes.

This is a pretty great description. Musk is already directly responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths around the world because he unilaterally killed USAID. He’s a disgusting monster.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

I know someone else whose name is in the Epstein Files

The argument that Musk might face *personal* liability for some of the shit he did in government should get renewed interest right about now.

The feud crashed Truth Social

He doesn’t have to be a master to manipulate the media. He understands showbiz. Lots of idiots in showbiz.

the president wont see your cheap dunks against jeffery epstein . But your friends who have ties to state sponsored pedophilia will

I cannot stress enough that there is a double digit percentage of the population of this nation of more than 300 million people who sincerely believe these are the two smartest men in America.

German Chancellor: "May I remind you that we are having June 6 tomorrow. This is the D-Day anniversary." Trump: "Not a pleasant day for you. That was not a great day." German Chancellor: "This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship."

Count down to Elon Musk making all Republican DMs public and us being forced to know just how many fascists are fucking Stephen Miller’s wife.

Now that he has the loser stink on him again he's newly attractive to Democrats

In an effort to attract more conservative faculty, some elite universities are borrowing tactics long used to promote racial diversity, Rose Horowitch writes.

Republicans are now threatening women who miscarry. Miscarriages happen in 15-25% of ALL pregnancies. We are living in Gilead now. West Virginia Prosecutor Warns Miscarriages Could Lead To Criminal Charges www.huffpost.com/entry/west-v...

one of the two ideas Capitalism has left: charge people for something you ruined on purpose

Not too long ago, Republicans believed in the rule of law, limiting the power of government, and protecting individual liberty, Peter Wehner writes. Then came Donald Trump. https://theatln.tc/JIM7oXYh

The reason generative AI is so popular with wannabe creatives is best illustrated by something every pro writer has encountered: getting pitched an idea by someone saying "You write it and we'll split the profits!" because they think the idea is what has value, not the writing. The opposite is true.

Would you guys watch this

NEW: There's no sugarcoating it. The Liberals' proposed Strong Borders Act represents a total betrayal of voters who elected Carney to stand up to Trump. www.readtheorchard.org/p/carney-ben...

Just suddenly remembered last month when a bunch of people angrily asserted that it’s civil disobedience to answer cops’ questions

We battled this kind of unwarranted access by the Harper government 14 years ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwqI...

Well what do you know. Another security bill giving law enforcement sweeping new powers. I thought Bill Blair was out of cabinet. Carney is more of a Harper guy than I thought. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Hey, chat, is it good when a judge begins a ruling by extensively quoting "The Trial"?

Will never stop being unbelievable the Democrats were like "enough of this guy, what are the Cheneys up to?"

I think it is straightforwardly true that it’s bad for the Democratic Party that our legislative leaders are all from New York

Just a completely rotten culture from top to bottom. Using human shields to clear buildings, shooting unarmed civilians, no ROE, etc; the IDF is anything but a professional military

Getting to the age where even the people I don't think I've known that long, I've known for like 15 years.

I increasingly think Stephen Miller is seeking out cases that he knows are illegal but which he can get political mileage out of.

Incredible blog here. This is a gift link: defector.com/what-world-d...

Jackass 1-3 stand tall among the great American movie trilogies.

It remains one of the wildest things in the world that Disney paid late-career Hunter S. Thompson to write despairing columns about the sickening depravity of American empire and, to a slightly lesser extent, Skip Prosser's Wake Forest. www.espn.com/page2/s/thom...

i'm not even singling out catturd here. there is this collective amnesia where the entire country has forgotten that all in the family was woke.

Gentle reminder to anyone who needs it today: The more you use technology to replace the things you used to do for for yourself, the less you will be able to do them. That goes for writing, walking, thinking, communicating, making things, and all the things humans used to be pretty good at.
