Suffice it to say that RFK Jr should live the rest of his life penniless, shunned, and outcast from common society for the shit I just saw him say, and that’s just for what he said on Monday of this week, not the balance of his entire preposterous and destructive career

"At long last, we have built the Mechanical Hound, but don't worry--it's not at all inspired by the Mechanical Hound from Ray Bradbury's classic novella 'A Society That Would Build The Mechanical Hound Would Be Deeply Fucked-Up And Use It To Hunt Dissidents!'"

You would think if we were elitist I wouldn’t be stuck living with my parents and unable to get a job outside of YouTube at 35 despite having a PhD, guess it’s a new secret kind of elite where you have no money, power, stability, or ability to advocate for yourself

Plaster those "100% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes!" blurbs on every piece of marketing you can find and bump those numbers up even more, let's make this HAPPEN.

Watching the new season of Shark Tank and they managed to immediately become a parody of itself by having one of the pitches be Ball 2, the sequel to Ball, powered by AI. To really seal the deal, the ball 2's battery is not rechargeable or designed to be replaced.

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

So Danny Trejo was manipulated and tricked into being in Ben Shapiro's newest film. Holy shit.

Reminder that HSI should be wholly abolished and none of its staff kept. Their mission is to investigate "the illegal movement of people, goods, money, contraband, weapons and sensitive technology." They're just letting that happen, too busy doing this and guarding the reflecting pool Trump ruined.

Endless additional factors to consider, sure, but the trends remain clear. Data for men’s UFC bouts can also be provided, but their %s only dipped below women’s %s for bonuses in 2015 and 2016. Only two UFC events have EVER been comprised of more than 40% women (In 2014 and 2017).

Fighter pay would be another huge dataset, but that’s simply not available (Because what IS available has too many unknown variables left out. Whee, “independent contractors”! All we know for sure is that all UFC fighters have always gotten screwed by the UFC).

Now, the number of events per year with no women’s fights: 2013: 21 (Inaugural year for women in the UFC) 2014: 24 2015: 12 2016: 7 2017: 6 2018: 8 2019: 1 2020: 2 2021: 0 2022: 2 2023: 2 2024: 5 2025: 3 2026 to-date: 7

Now, a combo timeline of total UFC women’s bouts + headliners: 2013: 16 (1) (Inaugural year for women in the UFC) 2014: 31 (2) 2015: 44 (5) 2016: 52 (6) 2017: 63 (6) 2018: 73 (2) 2019: 92 (5) 2020: 81 (4) 2021: 96 (4) 2022: 90 (5) 2023: 95 (5) 2024: 88 (4) 2025: 78 (1) 2026 to-date: 57 (1)

For more context, let’s see the timeline of UFC main card bouts that are women: 2013: 5.88% (Inaugural year for women in the UFC) 2014: 4.41% 2015: 10.85% 2016: 12.98% 2017: 14.36% 2018: 14% 2019: 12.07% 2020: 18.06% 2021: 15.95% 2022: 12.55% 2023: 12.61% 2024: 10.96% 2025: 6.17% 2026 to-date: 7.89%

Now, the % of women receiving traditional fight bonuses in the UFC: 2013: 15.63% (Inaugural year for women in the UFC) 2014: 11.29% 2015: 21.59% 2016: 17.31% 2017: 10.32% 2018: 5.48% 2019: 9.24% 2020: 14.2% 2021: 12.5% 2022: 12.22% 2023: 11.58% 2024: 10.8% 2025: 10.26% 2026 to-date: 8.77%

If no bouts are dropped last-minute for tomorrow’s event, it will have been 630 days since the previous UFC women’s headliner. This blows the previous records out of the water, nearly doubling them: Two dry spells of exactly 364 days each; one from May 2018-2019 and one from February 2013-2014.

UFC timeline for more context: 2013: 4.15% of bouts are women (Inaugural year for women in the UFC) 2014: 6.16% 2015: 9.3% 2016: 10.55% 2017: 13.79% 2018: 15.4% 2019: 17.83% 2020: 17.76% 2021: 18.86% 2022: 17.61% 2023: 18.27% 2024: 17.02% 2025: 15% 2026 to-date: 13.26%

Always a worrying sign when Paramount+ immediately yanks all available footage of a UFC fight because they’re not entirely sure if the fighter’s gonna survive the night or not.

I wondered why the fight wasn’t getting uploaded separately. Then I caught the highlights clipped version right before they pulled it, to see that everyone was justifiably spooked by a fighter passing out unexpectedly. I presume the videos are back up by now, since word is he’s now alive and talking

This is like accusing someone of robbing a bank because they deposited money and never withdrew it

Assistant AG for Fraud Colin McDonald: "Apparently 35% of people have never even used their Obamacare account for any health services. That is a statistical impossibility and it's because these are not real people seeking real care. These are fraudsters."

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵
