Narrator: ”They were not, in fact, better than this”

This take is asinine because it places "winning strategy™" over truth. Regardless of what they thought, this IS what they voted for. If they feel stupid and upset they SHOULD feel like that. All the tools were there to accurately predict the outcome of their actions and they didn't use them.

I remember I got more respect for packaged bread when it was pointed out that it regularly lasts 1 week+ where "water flour salt" will mold the second you take your eye off it like a fungal Weeping Angel. Still better than designing your foods for maximized transportability tho lol

It is deeply hilarious that the Hudson's Bay Company was founded in 1670 and chugged along for three and a half centuries and Private Equity finished it off in like five years.

Jalen Hurts is our nonproblematic NFL king. He also happens to be incredibly handsome.

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

so gun control works is what i’m hearing

why yes🙂‍↕️

In Missouri, overturning the will of voters has almost become the legislature’s main business. Lawmakers wasted no time moving to undo a constitutional amendment that legalized abortion up to fetal viability. By @jeremykohler.bsky.social‬

I know everyone's dunking on Mr. Party-City-presents-America but Monsieur Super Dupont there for France is almost worst because it's not even cool stereotypes. At least Captain America is an international superhero lol

Let's Go, Big Bird!

I rush past you at lightning speed, samurai sword flashing. After sixty horribly tense seconds it becomes clear that I just missed completely

Amazing statistic

As I’ve mentioned before, time has rendered anti-Italian discrimination - a serious problem that caused real harm - unfortunately hilarious.

Just one of many... I wore this tape out.

The 1930s truly was the golden age of sportswriting

conservative men be normal about me once challenge (difficulty level: impossible)

The question of whether Trump is primarily symptom or cause is settled by the fact that Trump’s most uncritical lickspittles on the Court are the two he didn’t appoint

Republicans not recognizing a meaning of “86” familiar to anyone who’s worked in food service definitely tracks

The American Keir Starmer

I know stranger than fiction is a tired trope these days, but man trying warn that this regime would pitch "US citizenship reality TV show" would've gotten you laughed out of any room in the world a year ago. Shit, if I saw it on TV I'd call it ham fisted satire

One more thing before I get back to grading: social justice movements without the threat of violence, or the recognition of violence as a tool, are a relatively modern invention and one peddled by the interests of power to maintain powerlessness.

The whole 'Grok is a boer now' thing is very funny, but it also really exposes how every 'AI tool' isn't just passively biased from training data, but actively designed to shape your worldview according to the interests of the billionaires who made them.

No just or decent society allows this sort of cruelty, this evil.

David Zaslav is a one data point confirmation of the theory that the richest and most powerful people in the world are also the stupidest people in the world

weird al yankovic? i wonder if he means old fred yankovic...

suddenly u cant paint the supple red lips of your homies without it being an issue? their soft yet shapely cheekbones? u cant capture your boys in quiet contemplation, their skin glowing in the morning light

How long are we going to keep pretending we don't know what this is?

Imagine being a converted Catholic and the first American pope tweets to say you’re doing catholism badly. JD Vance just keeps losing

missouriindependent.com/2025/05/07/r... "Suggesting the proposal could lead to absent parents" The problem with having an ideology based *entirely* around aesthetics is that you're constantly convincing yourself ofthe most obviously stupid and asinine things just to keep up appearances. Evil people

people will make fun of ancient civilization for consulting oracles and cutting up livers to tell the future and then type “what is the meaning of life?” into ChatGPT

💯

okay apparently we're all having Cubist Boob Weather for the forseeable future

“The president will blaspheme god by using artificial intelligence to generate an image of himself as Pope,” is something a wild-eyed prophet shouted through a megaphone in Times Square in the 1990s, but nobody listened, nobody heard the warning
