This headline structure is literally the joke format we use to make fun of people like this

Who do I give to to get this in front of as many Michigan voters as possible?

"It turns out that our product, which we said would do bad things, will instead do good things. Maybe the best things. Please love it now."

Congrats to the chocolate industry for reinventing the downfall of Schlitz Beer, I guess

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Every country has Republicans

hell is outsourcing rumination on your own child

Fun fact: he calls himself Mr. Beast because he doesn't want people to confuse him with the vice-president: Jimmy Donaldson Vance.

So are they bringing these bad boys back, or what? @discontinuedfoods.bsky.social

"He keeps it in the trunk of his car. Swears the guy was dead when he found him, but who can say?"

Every time Vance speaks, I feel unclean. It feels wrong to watch someone do this to his own soul.

The same week that the date for scuttling the SS United States was announced. The metaphors are hitting thick and fast.

I hadn't actually read this before. The end is basically "weird, it's almost as though we're picking out stuff that has nothing to do with us just to get mad about'. One of those sentences that makes you think Republicans are like 🤏 this close to getting it (they are not).

Many people are asking why JD Vance, who has a history of renaming himself for the important men in his life, doesn't reclaim his former middle name "Donald." Is he ashamed of the president? Where's the gratitude?

Not a surprise from this administration, but both unlawful and incredibly destructive of effective governance. www.washingtonsun.com/administrati...

Is "You Can See Everything" about the Patrick Stewart episode of Extras?

[Malcolm Gladwell Voice] What if we don't have *enough* deputy gangs?

It’s wild how Russiagate and Epsteingate were both proven and it just didn’t matter.

Strong thread.

it's honestly kind of wild to watch 50+ years of "noooo the coups and corporate malfeasance weren't part of the plannnnn we were just trying to promote democracyyyyy" liberal revisionism get one-shotted by the stupidest man on the planet

The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of Digimon: Digital Monsters

Heck, might as well invite Kushner and the head of FIFA too.

Wouldn’t surprise me if the group Thomas was with had tipped CNN to it before he even asked the question. That said, there’s nothing El-Sayed could’ve said or done to avoid this headline

this is the reason these questions are asked. it doesn't matter how well el-sayed answers, the media get to write a headline with his name and the muslim brotherhood in it. heated, islamist, implications, criticize, disavow, dual loyalty, scary man bad

I'm slightly disappointed that Zacharia is leaving before we got a chance to move on from "can she call herself a lawyer if she's not a lawyer" to the much funnier question "can she call herself Dr. Zacharia because she has a juris doctor degree?"

This has always been a BS argument. Like "Oh I ~had~ to break into my neighbors' house tonight because I thought they might get a security system tomorrow." It wouldn't matter unless you were planning to rob them at some point.

you can't be serious. This reads Meta/Facebook/Insta is looking to grant itself the rights to scrape websites across the open web - and train Meta's AI - if a company after Oct 30, 2026 uses Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp or other Meta services. So every biz. Read that again. Outrageous. 1/5

4. Wimping out on expansion is just a way of propping up a thoroughly broken status quo. Moreover, the nation has expanded markedly since 9 justices became the norm, and yet our institutions remain stubbornly shrunken. SCOTUS should expand, but so should the House! We need a 21st century government!

Add “for Tax Purposes” to a movie: Sometimes They Come Back For Tax Purposes

Ex-boss filed a $12 theft charge against an ex-employee because she got a restraining order in response to his creepy behavior. Charge was never prosecuted, but it gave ICE an excuse to arrest and detain her. Congratulations to the 58 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act. You own this.

I'm not a teacher and so probably deserve to get roasted for this, but it seems to me that teaching is mostly a solved problem and people keep coming up with exciting, shiny new methods that just make it worse.

Decades of experts (correctly) reminding us that the president does not have a magic "make the economy good" button that they can press, has lead us to lose sight of the fact that the non-magic "make the economy bad" button is very much real and that there are hundreds of them

And part of what you have to do in real time is to respond to the mood of the country, Democrats. Temporizing is not what people want; they want

The comic strip For Better Or For Worse was doing this 20 years ago, and didn't need AI

i refuse to be bound solely by what I can defend as a "good idea". no one else in politics functions under these constraints.

It took my an embarrassingly long time to understand that Graham Greene, the English post-colonial novelist, and Graham Greene, the deadpan Canadian actor were two different guys.

What an exciting day for people studying misinformation on Twitter. I bet a lot of prolific accounts there have suddenly gone quiet.

The backstory: Ukrainian drones struck a Yandex supercomputer facility in Vladimir, taking it out. Suddenly, bot activity in US social media fell by 49%, confirming suspicions that this was the site of a massive Russian influence operation targeting US social media—mostly targeting MAGA.
