The Los Angeles County Museum of Art posted this today and it’s still cracking me up

People with weak cores from sitting and gaming all day and afraid to answer the phone suddenly think they can fight in the real world lmao

good morning

I wish more people knew about the 1920s Klan because they—perhaps more than European fascists—are the model for Trumpism. This is a good summary and a nice reminder that they do a lot of damage, but in the end, fascists always lose.

i think this is basically what has happened a big chunk of the american pundit class

Really sucks to see children say they want a peptide serum like 1 no you don’t and 2 we need to teach that ingredients like that will do literally nothing on young skin. Waste of money

Listening to the NYT interview with Ed Yong and his description of burnout and its toll on a person is so apt

What’s up with his eyes?

I thought From Soft games just weren’t for me after trying DS and Elden Ring, but I gave Sekiro a chance yesterday and I am having a lot of fun zipping around lol

I’m a simpleton when it comes to stats, but have they tried to bridge this claim with all the horny anime porn games I always see listed in Steam’s top sellers?

It's also part of a longer historical pattern of extrajudicial violence encouraged by right wing politicians since the 1970s. George Tiller, a doctor who provided late term abortions in Wichita, was assassinated in 2009 while in church.

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again

What is going on over there?

Man is going to charge you $100 to save you a nickel. And saving that nickel is also going to end up costing you $5000 at some point down the line. But it's nothing new, that's always been the definition of conservative economics, he just thinks it's groundbreaking because he's a dunce.

ok on this one let’s let Elon Musk cook

a good example of how the world is getting dumber. the new politico playbook writer didn't know who FDR was until a reader told him about that whole "new deal" thing. this newsletter is read by every important person in DC.

someone put their pronouns in their email signature in 2017 and now the world's most irksome Boer has my social security number

Now it just says “person”

“Poland annexed by Germany?”
