i've come around on the cheesecake factory story. it's a soothing balm to see the kind of pantomimed, intentionally stupid chattering class outrage of the obama era i am now nostalgic for. the intentionally stupid chattering class discourse of the trump era is so much more miserable

Shocking twist, the internet has turned the story of a cheating man into the story of an evil woman.

you will never guess in a million years who this is about

perfect, no notes

sparkle on, erika... sparkle on..... #umineko

Making sure that large swathes of Biden's non-economic hires never work in a Democratic admin again is going to be a big project but one that needs to happen.

he's a piece of shit and what he's saying in the clip is *still* both inaccurate and bigoted, but a lot of you are being rage baited by this caption a little tbh, literally in the clip he talks about how the islamic world used to be more literate than Europe, etc.

The New Racism is just as serious in its potential impact as the old, but it is far, far, far, FAR more stupid. 'The calibre of racist has gone sharply downhill' sounds like it should be the start of a joke, but it is also: just demonstrably true!

How are you still writing this shit www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

I loved the historically accurate part of the historically accurate Odyssey when the Trojan sentry rang the historically accurate Liberty Bell

Like there are shots in this where I can see what they're going for. It's probably the best AI-generated thing I've yet seen! It's also still dogshit because all of its faults would be most easily corrected by working with even a group of, like, mid-talent actors who can take direction.

big failure from the NBA to not get two of its teams to move one (1) regular season game. the NBA owns 42% of the WNBA (functionally more, since a lot of NBA owners own teams) and should be invested in wanting the league to grow, even at minor expense to its more popular product

The far right is international and they all organize together and raise money for each other. I'd argue it's critical to pay attention to elections in other countries.

yeah like i was meeming last night but "turbo-corrupt guy in his 80s that cost control of parliament to the bolsonarists and only won the presidency 52-48" is not a recipe for long-term electoral good happen or short-term good governance

looked at in longer perspective, it's striking how much this resembles the premodern system of exclusion, rents, and personalist connections, which was--and this part's important--radically worse than the modern system of impersonal rules and general taxation

Three moments broke Trump 2.0: 1) Kimmel and other attempted censorship after Charlie Kirk. Made public see the attack on speech. 2) Minnesota anti-ICE protests, Goode and Pretti killings. Made public see the attack on rights. 3) Iran war. Made public see bad foreign policy affects them directly.

Very funny that Jones is mad about a vote drop that decreased Lula's margin because he doesn't understand that in most of the rest of the world the right wing party is blue and the left wing party is red.

im ngl "updog" is a word that reeks of subtle sapphobia and we should probably expunge it from our vocabularies.

Show: Donald Duck Language: Kurdish Country: Iraq

So Trump is Jeff Dunham with nukes?

"post-tit" notes are up in my shop too!!!

Not only an incredible talent, but a rare talent who also thought it was funny to just voice random memes every once in a while

What I picture when people ask Bluesky to increase its character count

Good website IMO

This is not a "you didn't KNOW?" post because I truly envy and respect anyone unaware of Linehan's output BUT he's been EXTREMELY racist for years now. Attacking black actors on his wife's show Motherland as diversity hires; podcast screeds about muslims in Ireland; delighting in Palestinian deaths.

beautiful moment in Wawa today… older dude, probably 70-75, wearing a sharp tan suit with a crisp colorful button-up underneath, waiting in line with a coffee young guy, probably 20-25, walks up and taps him on the shoulder “yo, you look fresh as hell, man” old dude might still be beaming

"we need more community input on building affordable housing, like Alicia Boyd screaming about how it will bring homeless people and shadows, or Vickie Paladino unleashing entirely new combinations of racial slurs."

Nathan Fielder's success is proof we lost a lot when Comedy Central stopped being the top talent scout in the '10s. Since then Netflix has gotten us Hannah Gadsby and Nate Bargatze.

Everyone thought Lula was cooked, hopeless. Then he bought a phone and started posting and now he's gonna get a 4th term. The lesson is to never stop posting.
