Javier Bardem went so hard on the genocide of Palestinians that the View had to cut to commercial break

was there no other way to phrase this

It’s called my love life…

based, sorry

*flips chair around* You know who else was 33 and got excoriated by the papers of record in his day for trying to provide people with their basic human needs?

This guy would not only make an incredible mayor, politically, and just as a figurehead, he would also be a boon to the local economy. The way he sells New York reminds me of narration from a 1940s news reel about the miracles of modern life.

Looks like Instant Pot is about to get the Target treatment

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Important: Trump's suspension of deportation raids on agriculture/hospitality infuriated many inside WH, reports NYT. MAGA influencers also angry. Again, the real story here is that mass deportations have driven a schism in MAGA that Dems can exploit, as I tried to argue in the piece below.

You almost have to appreciate just how beautifully this illustrates the gerontocratic nature of American politics: the Ancient Umbrella is imbued with more experience simply because it existed longer.

left is his take, right is the paper he ultimately links elsewhere. noah is functionally illiterate. he is saying the paper says the opposite of the thing it says

Ernst’s gaffe isn’t going away. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

My take on the Christian baby baseball thing is, I would swing if the baby was Christian, but not it it was atheist or agnostic or some other religion. This seems like the least problematic approach to me

Hot take: It's so weird to me to see folks list Patrick Rothfuss in their "fantasy greats" shortlist. No hate... his novels are good but incomplete and this isn't even countered by variety. I guess I just don't see how he makes the list but countless more prolific and robust authors don't.

me every night around 4am

NYT Editorial board effectively endorses Andrew Cuomo today in the most weaselly possible way. “Don’t rank Mamdani, and it will probably be either him or Cuomo, sooo…”

okay he was apprehended alive last night around 10pm local time one thing i’ve been seeing people speculate is “trump is just gonna pardon him” — y’all know he’s facing state charges too, right? trump has zero bearing on pardons for state convictions

Funny how you just need to break some angles to turn kitchen environment into a spaceship.

KARE 11 TV in the Twin Cities reports that Vance Boelter's best friend says Boelter voted for Trump and is "a strong supporter"

If you still needed convincing that Trump killed the era of “too soon; don’t politicize.”

Homer had brown hair. Marge has blue hair. All three kids have blonde hair. Perhaps both carry a blonde recessive, but for all three to be blonde, that’s unlikely. I blame Springfield’s toxic and irradiated environment. #Simpsons

we are all going to hell but the ride there might be worth it

This RIGHT WING TERRORIST: - murdered Minnesota DEMOCRATS - is a registered Republican - supported Trump - is a fundamentalist Christian - is an anti-abortion extremist - had a big list of ALL DEMOCRATS to kill Mike Lee is a demented vile lying cretin. He should be CENSURED and forced to RESIGN.

trying to find a polite way to explain to the kids that the 2001 jet li / jason statham movie "the one" is far less than the sum of its parts, and if they want to get into some kickass movies from before the modern transformers slop era (transformers ---> the mcu) they should watch mortal kombat

uh oh a Father’s Day comic

“What’s going on? Do you need money?” “No dad it’s Father’s Day and I just wanted to call and say I love you.” “Okay can I give you some money to hang up the phone and stop saying that?”

My proposal for US-China relations after Trump is to start a direct, uncle-to-uncle cultural exchange program where we being all of the most Dongbei guys over here to meet midwestern dads, and we send southerners over to Sichuan province. I think it can fix things.

Wow. The most recent detention and deportation of a journalist from Australia suggests we should assume sophisticated analytics are being used to monitor everyone. Yes, everyone. This doesn’t mean they are watching everyone. It means without a way to determine who, you should assume surveillance.

A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.

I just discovered this meme and I love it. Happy #PrideMonth to all my #LGBTQIA + friends!

Bravo this sign.

as always, @johnrogers.bsky.social said it best

The reviews are in. www.indy100.com/politics/tru...

the 2020 dem primary was funny because they presented the results like every candidate had their own militia within iowa

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

In light of Mamdani's performance, is astonishing there aren't more insurgent primary campaigns. Democratic establishment is discredited. Power is just sitting there like a mountain of gold but instead of being guarded by a fire-breathing dragon, it's fossils like Chuck Schumer
