The next time a Republican “accidentally“ refers to “the Democrat Party” I’d like to see the Democrat “accidentally” refer to “the Rapist Party”

I’m sorry to have to be the bad guy here but we need to recognize that we live in a compressed air thrusters world now. If you’re not finding ways to teach the critical use of compressed air thrusters in your classroom, you’re setting your students up to fail when you could be setting them up to fly

Hemingway needed six words for his tragic “Baby Shoes” short story, but here is an entire Black Mirror episode in two words.

Dr Oz says the Trump administration will kick more than a million people off health insurance because some of them have "never filed a claim"

For every 10 years they try to roll back democracy, science, and pluralism, we roll back our concept of fairness by 100 years. I would feel bad about it but it's clear that by-the-book prosecutions of low-rank offenders is no deterrent at all to them returning with more malice and lawlessness.

If you are demanding people not even criticize the clubby sort of whitewashing of a warmongering petty monster devoted to installing a dictatorship in America, you are holding regular people to a moral standard Lindsey Graham never cleared a single day of his life.

Court can't go on like this. The Constitution as plainly as possible says people who were born here have an unequivocal right to citizenship. Four people whose ONLY job is to read the Constitution for the rest of their lives just tried to overturn it because they're tired of brown people. Pack it.

Supergirl according to my friends: “It has some issues, but it’s good. You should see it.” “It’s a great popcorn movie.” According to the internet: “Failure!” Conclusion: My friends don’t have a problem with the very idea of female led superhero movies.

Funny enough, the US won even though both teams scored the same number of times. But both on the same goal.

Elon Musk has the greatest job in the world. Just get blasted off your ass on ketamine, promise everyone interdimensional unicorn-based travel by 2027, and receive free money. why am I working like some kind of peasant

Not gonna lie, Kash Patel has given me more confidence than anything else in my life. If there’s a silver lining to this whole mess it’s that, from now on, whenever I think I can’t do something I can just remind myself that the dumbest people on Earth seized the US government.

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

Dave reposted

Basically, AI companies are hoping to get us all hooked on their products before the bills come due so they can jack up token prices. Pesky people asking questions and pointing out stuff that doesn't work are ruining the whole plan and it's very rude of them.

I’m sorry but “everyone is going to use AI to code their own apps” sounds like “everyone is going to learn HTML and code their own websites.“ like … have you met people? no they’re not

I finally canceled my WaPo subscription last month and it really, really hurt. I’ve been reading a newspaper since I was 11 and it was the Post from age 14 to 60. I’ve been tempted for a couple of weeks to resubscribe, but this drove reality home for me. I’m so sad though.

Hey what’s up guys (can you say “guys” anymore due to Wokeness?), welcome to the Washington Post’s new podcast, “You Were Right To Unsubscribe”, which we are also releasing in video form for reasons unclear even to our loved ones who would presumably enjoy seeing us. Let’s get into it

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

I can’t believe we’re still doing this. Knight Rider is actually the driver. The car is “Knight Rider’s Monster.”

Wait, shouldn't it be "cast a Prius"? I thought Kitt was the Knight Rider.

“AI will replace movies. I can make my own version of Star Wars where I’m the hero and Obi-Wan doesn’t die.” The problem is we’ve allowed a society where adult men can say things like this without being shunned from the village to starve as a pitiful outcast.

Dave reposted

Assassination is not the answer. It’s never the answer, even in the case of You Know Who. We just have to be patient and let the Big Macs and Filet-O-Fishes finish the job.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, DC, Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Spielberg, Cameron, Wachowskis, or Ghibli.

I really, really hate that Donald Trump is our first bisexual president

Trump at a UFC event last night told fighter Paulo Costa he’s too good-looking to fight. “You’re a beautiful guy. You could be a model, you look so good.” This was what Trump was doing as negotiations with Iran imploded.

if cats could drive they’d be like “yes of course i will let you merge” and then as soon as you did they’d attack your car

War with Iran, ICE agents rounding up and killing citizens, concentration camps under construction, crimes of a child rapist covered up by DOJ… Yup, total vindication for people who claimed our biggest threat was transgender folks using public restrooms.
