Not even a year’s supply of crab legs for six guys smh

Every individual complaining about their tax bills on Berkeley Nextdoor is living in a home over 3000 square feet.

I wouldn’t find this offensive except that a preschool teacher once asked my kid (with me standing right there) what it was like to have Amelia Bedelia for a mom. Just autism things….

“It looks like Saddam Hussein opened a Trump steakhouse, very classy”

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Guy on my flight this morning was wearing a T-shirt that read "if you're happy and you know it, it's your meds" and l refuse to recognize any other lyrics to that song from this point forward

Reproductive rights are pretty much the one place where things actually HAVE gotten worse in the last 20 years, and it's noteworthy that it's seemingly also the one place that the kind of nihilists we have on here usually choose to only making passing references to.

Want to curry comb this pointy boi

we should never let the Houston Rockets get rid of these red and yellow unis

Suddenly realized lotta people have a calculable Virginia Giuffre number

Somewhere between 2 and 4 for all presidents between Dubya and Biden

He told my roommate he’d be our commencement speaker but then decided to prove he wasn’t running for President in 2008 (lol) swore off out-of-state appearances and reneged so we got stuck with Eliot Spitzer courtesy of Dean Elena Kagan

sufficiently advanced pronatalism is indistinguishable from prison abolitionism

for a real smart guy, tyler cowen is such a fucking idiot

Fellas, you don’t have to be a rock star to dress fun, anyone can just buy a floral suit

"did I forget to take my meds or did I just forget that I took my meds" is a very funny roulette to play most mornings

Maybe YOU would

I feel like no one told me and definitely no one asked my permission when "compute" became a noun. Like I'm a friend to all nerds. But this was a little out of hand. And shld have been reined in.

“Does Ukraine think the successor CEO in the event of Musk’s sudden and untimely death will behave this erratically” is not something I’d want anyone in Ukraine to be thinking if I were Musk

IIRC Ukraine explicitly said they couldn’t drone strike Andrew Tate but were silent on this guy

because i’m seeing it on the TL, don’t say “foid,” it’s incel speak for “feminoid” and part of the thrill of the gender bent malfoy thing for these guys is getting unsuspecting normies to say it

Clarence is going for the big one

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

Like I don't want to say Russian leadership *never* talks about this but the whole thing with the humiliation of the 90s is it's ultimately about the loss of empire and there's an economic angle to it but it's mostly the international prestige/map blob thing that drove them insane

We watched The Fall last night, a 2006 movie. They literally went around the world for the breathtaking locations. The story is sweet, the little girl is a delight, and young Lee Pace was wonderful. Highly recommend. youtu.be/VZtQH_cwTOw?...

Some of these fuckers can’t even engage effectively with people who agree with them presently but used to disagree

this is how you have to treat these guys. with genuine contempt. your genuine contempt makes their smarmy fake contempt look weak and inauthentic. it immediately exposes their game. these guys are just losers who have sworn revenge for every humiliation. humiliate them again

their whole bullying schtick only works when the response is spluttering and harrumphing and well i never-ing. "why did you think anyone here cares what your doughy buckeye ass thinks" just makes him look like the soft handed hedge fund pallid loser he is

Abdul is 5’8” and JD claims to be 6’2” but my money’s on the little guy in this fight

They say gratitude when they mean subservience

It feels like there's this very strong reluctance among many theorists and Hot Take Havers in politics to admit that historically a HUGE part of politics is not about big brain abstract theory but about ways to control and gain access to who people get to fuck and who gets to "spread their seed."

you can't become one of those "nothing matters, so burn it all down" destructo freaks. gotta be like "nothing matters, so i make my own meaning" types

This is by Putin’s design, we are all living through revenge for shock therapy

the basic problem with anarchism as a political philosophy is that it is far, far too concerned with the oppressions of economic systems and the state, but doesn’t really concern itself with the majority of actually-existing oppression, which occurs at a small scale between people

I have cheated by adopting the exercise strategy of Dog. Dog makes you leave the house. In the sunshine, even. Dog makes you walk. Dog makes you stop and look at little beauties while they sniff. Dog is depression medicine for the exercise averse

the novel carrie ends with an ominous note about other children like carrie appearing across the country, with a traumatized nation shocked by the violence and Congress struggling to make sense of it while King meant ESP, we've seen new carrie whites appear in a different form: the mass shooter

if you want to modernize carrie white then she is not a pretty, misunderstood quiet girl. what she is is a "lolcow", a girl who does not fit in and is seen as a bit grotesque and is systematically provoked until she breaks, with a goal of milking her for content.
