"Sales provided the cash flow, but real estate built the wealth." How boringly predictable the world is; she's a landlord, a financial parasite who playacts and sell economic snakeoil!

A sex and death cult now qualifies as “eccentric ideas”.

These summits are too embarrassing - and too dangerous, with Trump's instability - and the country would be safer and better off if our president weren't hosting them. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

I must share with you this epic community note on Twitter 😂

Embraced by the “center” (whatever that is) like Conor Lamb? Who exactly from the so-called center embraced him?

I am sympathetic to Silicon Valley guys ascribing human-level consciousness to AI because if I had to talk to people from Silicon Valley all day I’d probably have a real low bar for sentience too

Data versus vibes argument on full display. This is partly why we’re here.

My tribute to Tim Curry: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

When you go to war because you believe - and only planned for - the Best Case Scenario, this is what happens. A real SECDEF would never have allowed it. But a TV host with no defense background beyond an Army career that never got past Major isn't a real SECDEF

This 2000-year-old grafting technique is why almost every apple, citrus and grape tree you know exists. Ancient China and Rome figured it out first.

i personally think polymarket and all companies like it should be regulated out of existence and their assets seized by the state

struck by this clip of Josh Johnson standup: he doesn't really develop the theme, no real punchlines. he just says what people have been complaining about re: The Odyssey and everyone laughs for *3 minutes* because a professional comedian *could not improve upon it* www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKcv...

Oh sure but Cthulhu forbid if you ask questions intended to measure the outcome of such experiments to figure out if said experiments actually work - you’ll be called a bloodless chart making sociopath.

A Kardashian is all in on the perv glasses…somehow not surprising.

Has anyone noticed that everyone in the entire world hates women

啊，在這裡，我們有一個典型的女性仇恨者。

Folks that are bad at math unsurprisingly devolving to arguing against points you (nor the original data source) were ever making in the first place…

direct intellectual inspiration for some of the worst stuff this country has ever done!

Champagne socialists doing their best TO NOT DISABUSE everyone of the notion that they are at their hearts misogynistic racists.

“But the bigger problem is how much of the media of ‘the left’ is dominated by men who appear to have no understanding of sexual abuse or intimate partner violence, but do have a pretty hefty sexist streak that they either aren’t aware of or don’t care to remedy.” YES @juliedicaro.bsky.social

Suffering from CTE? Okay.

let it develop a working head, let it drown whole valleys of the mind and then, just when the whole structure was about to collapse, opened a tiny pipeline at the base and let the iron-hard stream of wrath power the turbines of revenge.” ― Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters

“older and in many cases mentally diminished”…some just can’t resist the ageism and blaming people with disabilities angle and refuse to see the truth that it was infrequent voters who Leave managed to reach and Stay seemed to discount that made all the difference.

And she’s pro-Russia & anti-Ukraine. A twofer garden variety Tankie!

It did l, however, make the nightly copaganda news segment.

Packed with practical effects, outrageous costumes, and unforgettable performances, this bizarre space opera remains unmatched.

Never thought I’d see a Nazi symbol etched in a man’s skin who knew exactly what he was getting referred to as a dumb tattoo and a complete “bro-washing” (looking at you Pod Save America bros) of domestic violence perpetrated by a candidate not once but at least twice and yet here we are…

Hunter Biden spending his whole day every day on Twitter being like "I'm not a pedophile, I was smoking crack with ADULT hookers at the Super 8 outside of Newark, you guys have pictures of all of it INCLUDING my hog from My Leaked Stolen Laptop™" is a masterstroke. Should've done this years ago.
