The 66-year-old woman kicking this guy’s ass is a retired professor of medicine with 16,000 citations on Google Scholar Goals

When you’re accidentally added to the NatSec group chat.

if, ten years ago, your entire understanding of politics was that the right wing wanted to destroy everything because they were evil, you had a more accurate and more predictive analysis than functionally the entire American media and political apparatus

literally no one has ever cooked harder

I’m a harpy girl, in a harpy world 2025

Lady Gaga looks like she's about to tell her men to decloak and fire on the USS Enterprise

The Riverdale Fuck Bunker: An Exploration of Third Spaces in Contemporary American Culture

it's not exactly an index of things but it is pretty funny that fall of US hegemony is coinciding with the silent hill franchise switching its setting to japan

the senators recoil in horror as a wounded Caesar rises from the floor and a second health bar appears on the screen

Also you don't have to be Jewish to apply:

[if Chuck Schumer replaced Liam Neeson in Taken] CHUCK SCHUMER: [on phone] I don’t know who you are or what you want, but I will find you and I will help you kill my daughter

RODRIGO DUTERTE: i am innocent of these so-called crimes against humanity. i did what i had to do to defend the filipino people from drug addiction GAVIN NEWSOM: thanks for coming on the pod, president duterte — and you don’t have to tell me that drugs are a social menace, friend

the Times informing its readers of benzos is like if High Times did an article called “Introducing the Bong”

🚨Last week Helyeh Doutaghi, a scholar in international law, was barred from Yale and put on administrative leave: ‘The decision came three days after a news site powered by artificial intelligence, published a story calling her a member of a terrorist group.’ www.removepaywall.com/search?url=h...

I’m a Charli XCX enjoyer, so no shade, but it’d be foolish to ignore the fact that talent is something that takes space to explore… and if you’re working class, that space is filled with annoying shit like trying to survive, before you can even think about carving out a nook for creativity.

Congratulations to BRIT winners Charli XCX (Bishop's Stortford College, £38,319 per year), AG Cook (King Alfred School, £27,747) and The Last Dinner Party (Bedales, £52,075) for showing that people from ordinary backgrounds can reach the top in pop music, that most egalitarian of art forms.

Genuinely appalling and revealing how much more thorough, thoughtful and well-researched the videogame speedrunning community has been in evaluating Elon Musk's claims than the tech press or DC political press youtu.be/z1ykCc588Zw?...

the guy from the bible who built that ark ended up turning to a life of crime selling stolen goods which culminated in him kidnapping a sister from a convent. Noah fence: nun taken

Is bluesky more like holding court in a radicalized, kooky cult or is ejecting an acquaintance from your chateau in rural France for the sin of disrespecting Bari Weiss more like holding court in a radicalized, kooky cult?

Very much like the Iraq War, somehow "I thought Elon Musk was a genius until a couple years ago" is now considered the more respectable and serious opinion than "I knew he was a fraud for a decade and was never fooled by him."

This is my best tweet. Now you can see it.

House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries compares the party's challenge to baseball and says "don't swing at every pitch." But it's more like a hockey game where the other team is checking hard, and the refs aren't calling anything. So listen to Gretzky: "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."

Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

Having to do this in a reply to Elon bullshitting about the latest update to his anti-woke chatbot… bleak

"Wakefield et al were guilty of deliberate fraud (they picked and chose data that suited their case; they falsified facts). The British Medical Journal has published a series of articles on the exposure of the fraud, which appears to have taken place for financial gain."

Absolutely incredible follow up on this tweet

“GET HIM”

I don’t mean Zoe in particular, but having spent most of a decade saying what it was while our media class gargled in raw terror at the imminent tyranny of a bunch of students, nurses and social workers, I would say: it’s not that you were frozen with fear. You *had more important priorities*.
