TRE HOLLOMAN FOR THE WIN ARE YOU SERIOUS

How it feels to be a Pistons fan rn

please, someone who is good at the economy, help me figure out how this reduces the national debt, my country is dying

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

An inevitable outcome of a billionaire buying a news outlet, but I feel sick for the Post journalists all the same.

MSNBC worries about the perception that they’re not fair to R’s while Fox eats an $800m libel settlement to preserve its ability to lie about Ds. That’s the asymmetry that gives illiberalism a structural advantage. open.substack.com/pub/readtpa/...

This sucks and is probably a First Amendment violation BUT ALSO? Can't water down your coverage of the White House in exchange for access if you no longer have access.

🚨 It’s here! 🚨 #TheGreyList2025 is live! After months of reading and narrowing down hundreds of incredible scripts, we’re proud to share this year’s Forty-over-40! Congrats to all the writers! 🎉 Website: rb.gy/7o793x PDF: rb.gy/bedqqi

4yo: Dad, what will you look like when you're 80? Me: Probably pretty old. 4yo: And then will you be dead? Me: Maybe. But you know, everyone dies eventually. 4yo: Oh no! Then the dinosaurs will take back over the Earth!

New one.

Jeffries: hey the GOP controls the government, absolutely nothing i can do, gonna work on my personal book tour Sanders: brb i am going to personally barnstorm strategic GOP house districts and try to peel off 2 votes so we can block Trump's cuts to Medicaid www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Periodic reminder: Maple

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

I've been grappling with this question myself this week. Needed this thread.

Sent the new spec to my manager which is great because now I can really commit myself to feeling the crushing weight of our dying republic

CIA field agents in deep cover

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

"business acumen"

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

I know everyone keeps saying it, but we're just... so... so fucked.

Gotta hurry up and finish this script so I can enlist in the Rebellion, I guess

Really wish I could be alive 500 years from now to find out what anthropologists make of my softpant rotation going five pairs deep.

To be fair, no one knows where all of America's money went better than billionaires.

Everyone who believes DOGE is conducting an audit should be forced to have a 20-year-old programmer do their taxes.

And here I was thinking my summon had failed to cast.

Congrats to Merry Brandybuck on his third straight NBA Slam Dunk Contest Championship.

A little relationship advice? Never fuck her Outtie at the ORTBO.

It is the duty of journalists to afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted.

Solved a story problem so hard last night that I almost ran through a brick wall.

Oh hey, it’s Valentine’s Day Why not commemorate it by watching my romantic horror student thesis film, THIRD DATE, which now has over 1,700,000 views on Alter youtu.be/v8Mpv5QvhIg?...
