So, to update: —Arabs are useless because they produce nothing —Somalis are garbage people from a garbage country —Norway can go fuck itself because it didn’t give the Nobel Peace Prize to Trump —Iran can be wiped off the map —Brown people don’t belong I America Who am I leaving out?

And here I thought I had heard all the possible ways that RFK Jr was a worthless piece of garbage.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

These people SO DESPERATELY want to be viewed as creative and she couldn’t come up with “empathetic, creative and an animal lover” on her own? Jesus fucking Christ.

David Gura@davidgura.bsky.social

cool, cool

I mean, “creative” and “animal lover” are boilerplate for ANY kid. “Empathetic” is the only real reach here. And not much of one at that.

everyone trying to gin up culture war controversy around President Obama’s Cheesecake Factory joke is conveniently leaving out the part about Saddam Hussein We aren’t red states, or blue states, but a country of people who can agree that if Saddam opened a dessert franchise it would look very tacky

Things an elitist would say includes claiming over 99% of the U.S. thinks the Cheesecake Factory is “high class dining.” “The poors LOVE that restaurant!”

THE FACTORY

Oh my god, please elevate the voices of more Trump supporters and treat them with the utmost seriousness and respect while treating progressive supporters like foolish children asking the tooth fairy to solve their problems!

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Michael Fusella supported President Trump for nearly a decade. But as the Iran war drags on and the cost of living continues to climb, the 21-year-old Republican said he feels betrayed by a president who said he’d end overseas conflicts and lower prices.

High prices are great for business! Be happy for business!

Trump: "While oil prices are temporarily high ... the United States oil and gas business is making hundreds of billions of dollars"

I love that he’s busting on them repeatedly. But I will die on this hill: “unserious” is nowhere near as devastating a comment as the people who use it seem to think. I believe most people don’t understand the depth of what they’re trying to communicate with that one word.

“What is striking about this moment is just how unserious the people in charge are” — Obama

Obama roasting Trump is classic. Also, you KNOW it’s gonna make him INSANE with anger.

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

Every time I see those Amazon delivery people on their little bike-powered contraptions, I think two things: 1) Amazon is probably touting this as an example of how pro-planet they are. And 2) I can’t wait to find out the many ways Amazon is fucking over these delivery people.

Undercover cop manning a fruit stand to take down another fruit stand in the market that sells illegal drugs. A chase ensues. The fruit stands smash through cars.

Ahh yes! Tell me more about Trickle Down and how it’s ambrosia and not urine!

Most billionaire wealth isn't in yachts or jewelry — that's just a few percent of it. Most is productive business capital: companies that employ people, build things, and fund research. Tax that wealth and you're taxing the businesses that employ us all. Cato's Adam Michel explains.

If Trump’s health fails him publicly, Natalie Harp will have the Jackie O freakout while Melania stands stoically like a department store mannequin modeling last year’s fashion.

Everything is transactional with this piece of shit. Whether he’s an actual Russian asset or just a fucking idiot being played, he will ALWAYS do more for Putin because Putin will reward him with $$$.

Trump: "We've given a lot to Ukraine. They've given us nothing."

This is partly why I stopped watching the NFL. The ownership & the learned culture lean into this gladiator bullshit. Players get seriously hurt & their careers are brief & their lives after are ruined & the league is like, “No worries. There’s plenty of players!” It’s rich white slaveholder shit.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, who is out for the season after several blood clots were revealed in his lungs. Before the London game, Hurts was in the hospital until 4 am and did not sleep because sleep was a risk. He played the game without having slept. Crazy.

There isn’t the capital return on the other side of this they would need to make that money back. Their big money-making model seems to be a subscription service for a product people currently don’t like or want and which gets less popular with each passing day.

Holy shit. Every single Democrat: This is the message. This right here. This is the whole ass pitch the voters in the weeks before the election.

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"

Look. Everyone needs to vote and vote hard. But every day I’m seeing Democrats scoring body blows against Republicans and racists on the right and it’s honestly starting to feel like momentum. Also it feels like cocaine and I want to stay up and party and have more and more of it.

In case you forgot what a U.S. president beloved by the world looks like. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 Live in Manchester: An Evening with President Barack Obama. The arena holds up to 23,500 people with standing room, and the event was SOLD OUT.

Re the “flying Roadster”: UPSIDE: a LOT of dumb people will kill themselves in very stupid ways DOWNSIDE: they’ll probably take a lot of us with them

That Moby-Dick was based on a real whale called Mocha Dick seems so much like a bit @robdelaney.bsky.social would come up with. But it’s an actual true fact and it’s one of the many things that’s so entertaining about the Exploring Moby Dick podcast he and Professor Hester Blum host.

Americans, please don’t worry about your child coming home from school a different sex. Worry about your child not coming home from school because they were shot to death.

My finest ever work. I wrote it on a treadmill in a gym, recording each title, as I thought of them, into the notes app.

Hopper portrayed the “horror house” before Hollywood. House by the Railroad (1925) freezes a mansion in suspense—a lonely home becomes ominous, American suburbia turns into a nightmare. Years later, it inspired Hitchcock’s famous film Psycho.
