if they “go to Fort Knox” and it turns out to be completely empty (like with tumbleweeds blowing across the floor or whatever) I think it would actually be the funniest thing that’s ever happened

“lines the MTA’s pockets” do you think I’m a fucking rube? a dope? is that what you think? do you think we’re just so fucking stupid that we’ll believe that the public service that the MTA provides is designed to nickel and dime the average person? fuck you man. Jesus Christ

if you are a Republican congressperson cowed into submission by threats of political violence, and you think that this is the time to stand down and go along with it, you are not only a vile human being, you also profoundly misunderstand what your submission will lead to

I’m not kidding, Schumer and Jeffries (but especially Jeffries) remaining in positions of power within the Democratic Party is a gross miscalculation on par with the second Biden campaign

I can’t put into words how foolish this is. foolish man. foolish take. what the hell are we doing here? do these people not understand anything about autocratic rule? “on balance, many Ukrainians would actually vote against Putin. this makes the war a strategic error” fuck off with this bullshit

listen. I want my god damn cheap Chinese EV. I don’t give a fuck. if we’re crippling the auto industry anyways, I at least want some high quality, incredibly inexpensive, relatively environmentally friendly options. BYD, Xiaomi, I don’t care.

the problem with the “wokeness caused the downfall of the left” and “trans rights are a distraction” takes is that when you’re a good person with principles, it’s necessary to care about the rights of marginalized people AND “American democracy” even if you think the two can be separated.

I like to imagine that in 200 years a university student will learn about X (Elon Musk’s toddler) openly repeating his father’s private words in public places and saying things like “we are going to take over the country and rule with an iron fist” and think “wow lmao 2020s America was based”

I can’t even begin to describe how scummy it is for deBoer to say that undocumented immigrants being paid $3 an hour is an example of IMMIGRANTS “displaying an astonishing lack of solidarity” and “refusing to abide by our minimum wage laws”

like imagine if Wolf Blitzer just took ten minutes out of his regular segment to be like “and now let’s turn to a new clip of my biggest hater playing Halo 3 as he defends himself from grooming allegations - you won’t believe what he said!”

one of the weirdest consequences of the shifting media landscape and the mainstreaming of internet based political commentators like Hasan Piker is that a lot of their odd internet drama still exists and just lives next to their political commentary in a way we don’t really see in traditional media

The body horror in the Superbowl commercials isn't my thing, but I'm not here to kink shame. That said, the cowboy hat skin flesh thing ... who do they think they're trying to sell to here? David Cronenberg is but one man.
