This timeline redefines "spectacle"

Now half of American Catholics can go back to hating the Pope for inexplicable reasons (i.e. not the right reasons).

HBD Kierkegaard, you sage.

Lmao

Lol

Can someone decode this shit? Trump's National Prayer Day message on his gut-everything-but-military spending budget: "If it doesn't pass, your taxes will go up 68%. This is a religious ceremony to me, but that's part of the religion. If your taxes go up 68%, you might give up your religion."

The left has not "dictated" culture for decades, capitalism has. But when you have no real insight or serious analysis, you'll fall back on paranoia and simple binary explanations. That said, if you have to bestow yourself with words like "vital" and "masculine" then you sure as shit aren't either.

And it's always the most boring, sub-mediocre white dudes who think wealth can supplant passion, insight, curiosity, and empathy. You know, the qualities that make a human whole, that which can't be reduced to "I bought it so I own it." Those same would flounder in a "true" meritocracy.

"Fighting antisemitism" must always appear in scare quotes when talking about this regime. I hope for even the most disinterested observers that it's becoming obvious what's happening here, if it wasn't already.

". . . artificially drawn line from many years ago." Kudos to Trump for figuring out how borders work. Now, why doesn't the same logic apply to the southern border?* (*it's a rhetorical question, we all know the reason)

Incredible band and performance. Everything about this is perfect.

Please, Vladimir, don't!

"I lived in an exclusive neighborhood with a political dynasty where people sent their weird kids off to be lobotomized and confined to mental institutions so clearly this stuff never existed before I heard about it."

1990s indie/experimental masterpiece that I always come back to. Love Dead Rider as well.

Our administration will stand for two things: Fighting antisemitism and stopping the Soros-funded, Hollywood-controlling, migration-orchestrating, well-poisoning, global banking cabal of rootless cosmopolitans from destroying our Christian way of life. by J.D. Vance

Lol

Every person with a spectrum disorder has a more valuable life than RFK Jr, and every trans/nb person has a more valuable life than JK Rowling. You are a human with dignity and they are sunken demons

The Department of Homeland Security had no evidence linking a Tufts University international student to terrorism or antisemitism—but ICE agents kidnapped her anyway.

He's either incredibly dense or a knowing liar/bullshitter. Either way, it's a crime against this country that he was put in charge of HHS. The fallout from his willful ignorance will cost us, meaning regular people who still have to think about the consequences of their actions.

America: fascinating land of contradiction. (in NM, US hwy 64)

Consolation prize for all the bullshit:

"Illegal ideas"

People are mad but you have to admit this is a genuinely hilarious headline/image combo

Incredible

Lmao

I posted about this feud *years* ago lol. Just amazed that he's still going at it, and poor Elmo account.

21st century book burning: "The two research collections state officials ordered for deletion included material from professional journals, conference papers, books, student dissertations, periodicals and newspaper articles."

Lounging in the sun

There’s a real link between AI writing and Silicon Valley meal replacement drinks and the entire fuckin swath of maximizing the human experience and it’s that they view pleasure as being unhelpful to life. I don’t want a drink that replaces a meal, I don’t want a book summary, I want to savor things

Have an ex-gf who's an international student at Duke. Starting to hit closer to home.

It's the simple juxtapositions that bring such joy.

Guys who think and talk like this are almost certainly in the closet.

Confirmed

Watch SCOTUS rule in favor of the admin. I shouldn't be surprised at that likelihood but it really would be the canary in the coal mine ruling.

It's not about the economy, stupid. If you bought that line then you're at best a useful idiot, especially while they totally ruin traditional R&D pathways. Trump's going to sink us all because he's just too proud. We're approaching Shakespearean levels of implosion on the horizon.

The entire definition and gamut of ambivalence in one headline:

It's true, I've unwittingly been a homewrecker in the past.
