We've been getting hit with scammers every Friday, and it's always a heavy Russian accent being like "I am the Hernandez. I need my email password". Unfortunately it's working on our Philippines call center. I keep telling them nobody calls to reset passwords here.

Once upon a time he was the cool president appearing on Arsenio Hall and bringing in the youth vote. Now he's making Liberace references in 2026.

Bill Clinton: "I think Congress made a mistake not protesting turning the Rose Garden into what looks like the entrance to Liberace's bathroom"

It's election season, which means lots of people not understanding the difference between primaries and the general election, that Texas is not the entire United States, and hysterically sharing videos of voting machines from other countries.

Do you think the Trump admin officials who are holed up on military bases because otherwise they would be relentlessly harassed are going to need to be evicted? Are they going to blockade themselves in the house, begging for asylum from other countries rather than face civilian life?

They really are going to be running on Biden in 2028, like a Japanese soldier on a remote island still fighting WWII.

Q: What brings you to the Trump rally? GUY: I don't like Biden

Guys, Bluesky is like 2% of the US voting population. This isn't the final battleground, it's guys talking in a pub, and some of you are acting like that one woman that loses her god damn shit and starts throwing hands because she thinks someone said something stupid. Yes Jen, I'm talking about you

Looking at the trailer for VisionQuest and it occurs to me, does anyone in the Marvel comics have as many canonical children as him? He has Billy and Tommy with Scarlet Witch, and then Viv and Vin with Virginia. And all four of them seem to be in the MCU along with Jocasta.

It says something that for a teetotaler, the second Trump administration appears to be entirely staffed by hardcore alcoholics. Guilfoyle, Patal, Hegseth, Pirro, all people that even a frat house would hold an intervention for.

Just despicable people. All of them. It’s not just that they’re corrupt and shitty at their jobs - they’re terrible humans.

Oh god, mine is all about me brewing coffee at home, my water purifier system, and the wiring my home office for ethernet. Weirdly my DVD habit, which is 90% of my purchases up until recently, is not mentioned at all.

Amazon users are discovering a bizarre "About You" page that reveals what the company thinks it knows about them One woman found Amazon had determined she "has flat buttocks"

I love that it's been so long since GTA5 that the youths don't understand why everyone is so hyped for GTA6. "It feels forced" man, have you played a Rockstar game on release? There's a reason they're so popular.

How enormous will Grand Theft Auto VI be? Well, 12,000 people are currently watching a YouTube livestream of someone waiting for a Game Informer article to drop because it has information about the weather system and 12 new screenshots www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5Ki...

I repeat, the way he says "beardos" all the time sounds like he's deep in some fucked up internet subculture that's obsessed with being clean shaven.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Hegseth: "It's worth saying again so the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that -- no fatties no trannies no beardos no weirdos no wimps no radicals. Just warriors."

asked about gas prices, Trump says "if you want to see turmoil and a travesty, let them take out a city with a nuclear weapon ... let them hit us with a nuclear weapon"

Half the Choosin' Texas jokes are like that one guy who ranted about how Let it Go was telling kids to fall in line. You need to at least read the lyrics first, fellas.

I just realized the President Lisa episode that mentions a previous Trump administration making the country broke takes place in 2030, so The Simpsons didn't just predict a Trump administration, they predicted this one.

Man, I don't think "we'll never stop blaming the previous guy" is the winning message you think it is.

TORRES: How can you declare the K-shaped economy is over when during Trump's 2nd term the assets of Wall St are booming while real wages are not? BESSENT: It's opposite of Biden T: What's the statute of limitations on the Biden blame game? B: I was in a car accident as a teen. My back still hurts

I just don't understand the concept of polycules. Women on dating apps are like talking to surly teenagers giving one word answers and people are out there like "I have five partners!". The fuck you manage that? I can't even manage one friendship without being dumped.

I thought the review embargo being so far ahead of release was a good sign but man these Wolverine reviews are brutal. On the plus side nobody's talking about constant Captain Planet style lectures from whiny nepo baby Harry Osborne, so it looks like they learned some lessons from Spider-man.

I wonder if Trump is going to actually try to rename New Mexico. Until now, it's just been performative. Nobody uses Lake Ontario or Gulf of Mexico for directions, you'd use more precise locations. But an entire US state with two million people with addresses to change is a whole other situation.

For all the times Europeans make fun of how little time off Americans get, you'd think our UK based team would realize it's possible for a laptop to be offline for more than two months due to parental leave and FMLA.

This is such an insane way to look at the economy, starting with the fact that nobody retires at 62 anymore.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Dr Oz: "If we can get the average American to feel so healthy, so vital, so with it, that they want to work one extra year, just one extra year -- instead of retiring at 62, they want to go to 63 -- that's worth $1 trillion to our GDP every year"

This is awfully bloodthirsty talk from the (checks notes) Secretary of the Treasury?

Bessent threatens more assassinations of Iranian officials: "My experience over the past 20 or 30 years is that in general people like having their heads attached to their necks"

Darline Graham is going to be amazing to watch because she's not even MTG level moon shot. She's never held a political office, apparently never intended to, was given a high ranking seat just to finish out her brother's term, and despite not doing anything in it, decided to run to keep it.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

Darline Graham said that because her own parents died when she was a kid, people today shouldn't expect "government health care." So I dug up the real story of the death of Darline/Lindsey's parents. It makes a strong case FOR government health care. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2148...

Say what you will about the usual MAGA lunatics, they at least intentionally ran for an office and won. This lady is like that one woman who declared her candidacy, then fucked off for four months and couldn't get on the ballot. Just baffling "I want this so I should get it" attitude.

Did you guys know there's a Simpsons Disney+ exclusive that's the guy focusing on a lamp copy pasta? Homer's real life is Matt Groening until he slips into a coma and goes back to Springfield. This is not the only meta commentary episode they've done lately.

You can really see that the show is being written entirely by people that grew up with The Simpsons now. Constant callbacks, an episode where Bart fights against turning eleven as plot lines are resolved, regular acknowledgement of the meta structure of Springfield...

So, uh, Lanterns specifically states that there's only one Green Lantern per sector, and that Earth was supposed to be off the grid. The bulk of the show is taking place in 2016, and we have a flash forward to 2026 where Hal is found dead with no ring, and the implication John never gets it.

But Guy Gardner very openly has the ring in 2024. We know he's in the series cast list, but why would John expect Hal to have the ring in 2026 if Guy had it two years earlier? Yeah, I know, that's called foreshadowing, but still, it was interesting when I realized it.

Amazing that someone saw the unanimous outpouring of love and remembrance for Dolly Parton on Bluesky and decided to become the main character of the day by being contrary. The Louvre doesn't hold music, and if you're going by quantity, Van Gogh shouldn't be there either.

But more importantly, Dolly had far more than "2 good songs". Aside from her entire discography, I Will Always Love You was hers first, and Ghetto Superstar is a rewrite of Islands in the Stream. But also maybe don't be the guy that sees a memorial and says "Someone needs to take her down a notch".

This is literally a textbook example of how charities can fuck over the people they're helping by flooding the market with cheap goods that puts the local industries out of business. This isn't an anti-charity thing, it's a "this is why cash is always best because it boosts the local economy" thing

Trump announces that the U.S. will allow 300,000 metric tons of ground beef to be imported and that it would be sold at 25 percent below market prices. All of this comes as Trump warns about the dangers of socialism and communism.

I have a crackpot theory about this: The repeated declaring of 35-45 year olds as children is a way for Boomers to cling to power while also giving younger people an excuse to never grow up and take control from them.

The penchant towards infantilizing an adult woman complicit in the broadest misinformation campaign in American history is simply stunning ... she is not innocent
