My daughter wrote two letters to Santa that she was very keen on not letting me see but I rescued them from the mailbox.

Glad I missed whatever this discourse was

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

from playboy's 2004 interview with "the google guys"

Not every deployment of the can/may distinction is a good deployment of the can/may distinction.

Just went down a weird Only on Bluesky rabbit hole where I discovered several accounts that appear to post about Will Stancil exclusively??

the poster's equivalent to "imagine your audience naked" is "remember the guy you're arguing with is sitting on the toilet"

As an editor who has to read a lot of human-composed text, the only thing more annoying to me than people being fooled by obviously AI-composed text is people who insist that obviously human-composed (or at least ambiguous) text is “definitely AI.”

This is extremely common in extremist movements of all kinds, and the main reason people eventually leave. It’s not outside haranguing, it’s people simply realizing that their fellow travelers are dumb as shit and often ugly as well.

This place still has the juice

Ken Paxton is like the Mag 7 of the Austin Escort Service economy.

Popeyes

Are there any content niches as yet unfilled? Seems like literally everything is taken. Guy who eats raw chicken. Lady who defends bestiality. Staring at the sun. Drinking piss as part of a balanced diet. Basically there’s cannibalism and letting babies work at steel mills left?

The corruption of our civic institutions has grown so intense that it's difficult to talk about appropriate remedies while staying within the bounds of propriety.

This is even more insane when you realize that he’s made up every one of these deals

Meet your new AAG

It's notable that Sen. Ossoff is pressing this attack in a tight re-election fight in a purple state. The rest of the party needs to pay attention.

GOP is headed toward Orban numbers in 2028. At this point I almost wish Trump COULD run again.

Finally got to the post-Floyd episodes of Brooklyn 99 and oh my god.

Is the pain medication tequila?

If Trump causes a nuclear war, his voters’ wild fantasy about being hunted down or thrown in camps might actually become reality so they’re smart to not make it so easy.

Okay but like… come on.

THE BOYS AT GOLDMAN HAVE DONE IT AGAIN

Not trying to wade too deep into the Plattner discourse. I think Dems are allowed to be critical, but no complaints from the right should be taken seriously. The due has a Nazi tat that he covered up. He does not act like a Nazi in any way, or… certainly less so than like 20 current GOP candidates!

Kate Willett will never financially recover from this

Shades of the career criminal who Trump pardoned in his first term and who is now back in jail for doing yet more crimes, right down to the Adelson connection and the blowing a kiss to his mom in court.

Volvo was pioneering this racket in the aughts! A part that has absolutely nothing to do with any essential function of my 2009 XC70 and cost $50 from the junkyard basically bricked my car, and I had to pay $900 to get a new one “programmed in.”

A victory for Trump, Putin and Netanyahu. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov: “To be honest, I don’t even understand now how anyone can call on others to follow the norms and principles of international law. In fact, it no longer exists.”

Maybe my favorite thing about Las Vegas is that you can see people whose style was frozen in time in every year from 1978-2016 in ONE casino. My least favorite thing is the toddlers awake and walking down the strip with their parents at 1 am.

Now we're going to see just how far Corey Lewandowski is willing to go for power.

"L.A.’s trash problem 'is worse than a Third World country. Not even Ecuador looks like this.'" I've lived here for 20 years and literally anywhere else in the world that I've traveled, I've never seen a trash problem 10% as bad as it is in L.A.'s RESIDENTIAL neighborhoods.

In L.A. elections I am a one-issue voter, and this is my one issue samquinones.substack.com/p/in-la-dump...

I do not think I could beat Serena Williams at tennis but I DO think I could escape a Chotiner interview relatively unscathed…

If no Democrat asks her about Corey under oath I am going to start Fed posting Fed posts the likes of which have never been seen

She has Maria Bartiromo face. So much booze in her system that she can’t stop her eyes from watering

If the Bears don’t spend a second-day pick on this guy I will be devastated

And yet it was the former who claimed with a straight face that his company would make $1 trillion in revenue in 2027. Congrats to Dario for being the less ridiculous person for the week ending 2/27/26 tho

The BlueSky stereotypes did NOT like this post

For my money, this might be THE defining antisocial behavior of the social media era. Personally, when I get angry about something and then find out that actually, I don’t need to be angry, that is good and I feel… relief?

Shockingly, like 90% of the right appears to be extremely pissed about this as well, and even more shockingly… they are pissed about it for the same exactly reasons!

I was wondering why I hadn’t heard about this until like an hour ago

The Kavanaugh Doctrine.

Narrator: the trade deals had not, in fact, been worth “trillions of dollars”

Yes that’s correct. Also, the disconnect is that one group works for us and also has guns.

Why do fighters always pose for pictures with their fists up? No other profession does this. Would be like me, an editor, carrying around a red pen to hold up JIC

Where do they find these people man…
