So patronizing when the dentist patiently explains how to floss. I'm not a baby who doesn't know how to do basic things. I'm a baby who doesn't wanna

"We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves, why can't the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy?" "I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy." -- Ta-Nehisi Coates

it says a lot about an industry if a free and open source alternative to every product on the market can destroy 1 trillion dollars of “value” in one day lol

AOC isn't perfect, no one is. But god damn, she is SO MUCH BETTER at messaging than 99% of the other Democrats. Those other statements are so milquetoast and unconcerned, AOC is the only one showing the fire required for our situation.

Oh, so in other words, all the shit everyone left of the Democratic Party has been screaming about for years? Huh. Wonder why he did fuck all about these things his four years in office...

We are one game away from having a college football national champion whose only loss was to... Northern Illinois. 2025 is wildin already.

I don't want to hear Elon's thoughts on the wildfires. Elon Musk is an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about on almost every single subject and I'd say that directly to his face. He's a software engineer that's it. Having a billion dollars doesn't give you a PhD in every field known to man.

Ten years ago I was watching the Peach Bowl. TCU was steamrolling Ole Miss 42-3 in the 4th quarter. And I heard the absolute stupidest thing ever said by a sports announcer... (1/2)

The Green Bay Packers being 11-5 yet 1-4 in their division is literally insane. They would be in 1st place in 4 of 8 NFL divisions, but are 3rd in the NFC North. Their five losses have been by 22 points total to three teams with a combined record of 40-7.

If you’re willing to throw trans people under the bus because solidarity might carry a political cost, you aren’t picking your battles, you’re picking your side. Merry Christmas and don’t mistake cowardice for practicality.

(John Madden and Pat Summerall watching me wrap presents) Madden: Now, see, here is a guy who doesn't know what the fuck he's doing. (Lines start appearing all over the telestrator.) He's got tape going this way and wrapping paper going that way, I don't even know what the scissors are doing...

I want Chuck Tingle to write a Hallmark Christmas Movie. Big time city lawyer goes back to her small hometown for Christmas. There she runs into her high school crush (who is now the town sheriff and also is Bigfoot), but falls in love with the Space Raptor town baker who makes delicious pies.

Always remember kids, it's perfectly legal to murder a black man on the subway, but don't you DARE come for a CEO.

Events of this morning will be treated as dangerous, in a way that millions and millions of people suffering for years in despair and dying broke decade after decade never has been, because our society values corporate profit over human health.

UnitedHealthcare denies *32%* of in-network claims, the highest in the industry. When you become a millionaire from adding misery to people who are already suffering, you shouldn't be surprised that some will celebrate your death.

Unpopular opinion: The Final Countdown is a better song than Don't Stop Believin and deserves that latter's social ubiquity.

I absolutely detest those stupid "You could never make [blank] today because [blank]" statements, because every single time the real reasons are so fucking obvious even a rock could figure it out. "You could never make 'Birth of a Nation' today because woke." Shut the fuck up, imbecile.

On an overseas flight from Europe to New York, an American man is seated next to a Russian man. They engage in idle chatter until the American asks the Russian: "So, what are you looking forward to on your trip to America?" (1/2)

Human memory is a hilarious dumpster fire, man. I'm sorry, I forgot what you told me 25 minutes ago: my brain was playing a 2001 Pepsi Twist commercial on a loop. "I'm not Halle Berry... I'm Barry Bostwick!" "...who's Barry Bostwick?" What even is this lol. How am I still able to tie my shoes?

Does your local doctor's office or hospital have a roomful of kids in iron lungs, struggling to breathe? No? This was commonplace less than a century ago. The reason it's not a thing today is because of the polio vaccine. No other reasons. None. Just vaccines. Vaccines save the world.
