“Clearly they can’t” in an episode where they go to a Dora the Explorer live show and indiscriminately arrest everyone.
Noem on South Park: It’s so lazy to just constantly make fun of women for how they look. It’s only the liberals and the extremists who do that. If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can’t.

The Epstein files is the single issue - literally the only thing - that both parties of voters, regardless of where they are on the political spectrum, agree on both what needs to be done, and how to achieve that goal. And it’s really as simple as “tell us.” Let us know what you know.
Nancy Pelosi characterizes the Epstein scandal and seeming coverup as "a distraction" from kitchen table issues

My latest! Comedians Are (Stupid) People Too open.substack.com/pub/wkamaube...
I was sort of dreading Wizard and Glass because I knew it was essentially one big flashback, but damn it was good (albeit, like the entire Dark Tower series) in need of some good editing, although not nearly as much as since if the other ones.
I've finally arrived at Wizard And Glass, the 4th book in the Dark Tower series. I didn't care for this when i last read it, at 16, as i wanted more weird fantasy-horror shit like giant bears and malevolent trains, not a character-driven western romance, but now that's EXACTLY what i want.

They need to make up their minds. You cannot simultaneously hold the belief that the left is guilty of perpetual wokescolding while also completely incapable of self-policing. The reality of the situation is that the Right would literally embrace Satan so long as he had an R by his name

The article quote says it’s good “if” we can police people on our own political side, but have they ever spent time with people on the left, even in online spaces?? Self-policing and inner-arguing happens so frequently lots of people want to do it *less* because it’s become a distraction.
I truly believe we will look back at this attitude as *the* sickness of our political era. It is an extremely basic fact, and has been for decades, that the vast majority of political violence in the US is committed by the right! You cannot solve a problem if you refuse to identify it.

I’m watching Doctor Who again for the billionth time. I’m on season 8, and there’s something I was never quite clear on. Was Danny Pink in the military or something? Was he a soldier? They sort of imply that he is but they never make it explicitly clear. I hate when shows are super subtle like this.
I accidentally clicked on a profile belonging to a fighter in that one scripted sport that everyone keeps going on about and oh my god are those posts ever going to end why does Bluesky keep insisting on showing them to me do they have a fucking endorsement deal or something fuck its every 3rd post.

This is right up there with “you know calling out racism is racist is actually the racist thing.” Except worse because this would be like saying calling out racism *causes* racism.
one of the strangest phenomenons in political commentary over the last decade is people treating trump purely as an epiphenomenon of liberal discourse norms they don't like foreignpolicy.com/2025/05/09/p...
Jesus, how does this keep getting even bleaker?
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Republicans were the ones talking about these things! Liberals on Twitter talk about this stuff a lot, but Democratic politicians mostly stick to the economy and “Trump bad.”
Haven’t seen this reported yet: in a speech to supporters posted to TikTok last week, NYC mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo said he believes that Democrats lost in 2024 because “we’re talking about bathrooms and who’s gonna play in what [sports] team”
