if you took a dementia test and thought it was an IQ test you failed both the dementia test and the IQ test

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "AOC -- look. I think she's very nice. But she's very low IQ, and we really don't need low IQ. Between her and Crockett, we're gonna give 'em both an IQ test to see who comes out best. I took a real test at Walter Reed medical center and I aced it. Now it's time for them to take a test."

He denied saying this at the time and now he is gleefully bragging about it which is yet more proof that the media only humiliates themselves when they take his word on anything

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Libya, Hemen, Haiti, Somalia -- remember what I called them? Shit house countries."

please remember this next time he “denies” something

one useful thing about JD Vance is that he proves there’s no “going back to normal” after Trump. Vance is the future of the GOP and that future is a party that revels in being Truly Fucking Awful. the whole shtick is just being A Really Bad Guy and then going “oh are you triggered by how Bad I am?”

JD Vance’s whole tning is just rolling around in shit and then smirking at how grossed out you are. “Oh are you triggered by me slathering myself in human excrement?” That’s it. He’s reveling in the fact that he eats shit and covers himself in shit and you it upsets you and that makes him happy

NVIDIA CEO JENSEN HUANG SAYS HE BELIEVES MOST PEOPLE IN GERMANY WILL MOSTLY WORK INSIDE A DIGITAL TWIN OF THEIR COMPANY, BUILDING DIGITAL CARS WITH DIGITAL BRAINS, WITH AI ROBOTS BUILDING ROBOTIC CARS INSIDE ROBOTIC FACTORIES

NVIDIA CEO JENSEN HUANG:

you’re hearing it more and more, folks. one day your kid goes to the white house as a press secretary and then five days later they come home “transitioning” to a new role and “identifying” as a lawyer. the radical left is at it again

Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social

Katie Zacharia is reportedly "transitioning out" of her role as Trump's press secretary after only 5 days on the job.

she spent less time at the white house than william henry harrison and that guy died

KATIE ZACHARIA IS OUT AFTER 5 DAYS AS WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY – NY TIMES

the man who possesses the power to annihilate all life on earth repeatedly screaming “where’s my doctor” at a rally a week after musing about LA and san diego getting nuked and a day after posting AI slop of himself posing with a tiger that mauled a person probably nothing to worry about

reut.rsAI models may soon self-replicate without access to data centers, Anthropic warnsAnthropic said on Monday its experiments suggested small AI models may be months away from being capable enough to self-replicate on commercial internet-of-things (IoT) devices, such as smart ‌ovens and off-brand Android TV boxes.

the brewers absolutely dominating the dodgers and then being one of three teams left with the tampa bay rays and cleveland guardians right before a lockout in which owners claim they need a salary cap because small market teams can’t compete would be the funniest outcome and the one I am rooting for

everyone is justifiably focusing on the legal or ethical questions about all this but let’s not zoom past how transparently and laughably stupid it is to promise to do something if you win that you could have easily done for 2 years and could still do right now. truly the world’s dumbest criminal

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

INGRAHAM: Have you talked to Thune or Johnson about this $5,000 dividend? TRUMP: There are a lot of people who think I don't even need congressional approval because we've made so much money

here I am on september 9th, the mets 10.5 games out of a playoff spot, thinking to myself, if the mets lose this game to the marlins I might just light myself on fire

youtu.beA Closer Look Out of Office: Trump’s Secret Turkey Flight, Reflecting Pool Humiliation & Iran ChaosYouTube video by Late Night with Seth Meyers

21 Aug

Late Night is on summer hiatus but Seth and I are still going crazy so we’re doing a new weekly video podcast called “A Closer Look: Out of Office” where we jump on zoom and chat about stories we’d be covering if we were on air. I think it’s fun if you wanna check it out! youtu.be/bto70TRCLfo?...

21 Aug

so far my favorite thing is how much time we’ve spent discussing duck skulls clogging the filters of the lincoln memorial reflecting pool (1/2)

21 Aug

will trump blame the duck skulls for clogging the reflecting pool and give out a no-bid contract to a duck skull removal company? we think so

youtu.beA Closer Look Back: Trump's Ballroom ObsessionYouTube video by Late Night with Seth Meyers

Late Night is on summer hiatus but we desperately miss doing A Closer Look every day so we've been posting very fun compilations of old segments based on specific topics and it's shocking how much has already been forgotten. Here's the first one on Trump's ballroom obsession youtu.be/ePyhyRPtlys?...

here's the second installment we did on Elon Musk, DOGE and the Trump feud. still can't believe we've all just sort of moved on as a society from the world's richest man saying the president was in the Epstein Files and that he already knew that while he was working for him youtu.be/Vh-qgOX8MhQ?...

youtu.beA Closer Look Back: RFK Jr.'s Obsession with Sperm Counts, Eating Roadkill and Health Care CutsYouTube video by Late Night with Seth Meyers

and here's the third installment (so far) on RFK Jr's sperm obsession, roadkill diet, anti-vax bullshit and FDA/USDA cuts that have led to multiple outbreaks of viral diseases and foodborne illnesses. Also I just love seth's RFK Jr impression youtu.be/VibolxIvAA8?...

I wrote a thing for @newrepublic.com last year about how the secret to Zohran’s success was literally just “being normal,” and every day he just keeps turning up the “be a normal person” dial to 11 newrepublic.com/article/1979...

Max Kennerly@maxkennerly.bsky.social

Love how this dude discovered the cheat codes of "what if I listened to constituents" and "what if I modeled good behavior" and "maybe I behave like a normal person should." These are apparently dark secrets that have been hidden from other politicians.

28 July

here’s our closer look from last night on trump eating shit at the whcd. normally seth doesn’t know what the clip at the end is gonna be, he just sees the setup. but this time he wanted to know because it involved explaining what a chode is and I think that was a wise choice youtu.be/LZnx9caKOpw?...

the odyssey discourse is a beautiful perfect window into right wing culture war psychosis. they went from hysterial racist mania over a character that’s on screen for 5 minutes to claiming there’s a massive conspiracy to fake ticket sales. this is just what they do for everything now. they’re insane

21 July

it’s the same intellectual path they took from “I’m mad that the president is black” to “venezuela used satellites to flip votes so the left could impose sharia law and make m&m’s less sexy”

21 July

these are the same people who think don jr’s book about life without a chin or whatever it’s about was a legit best seller

very funny that trump literally just threatened to cut off trade with spain and embargo spanish imports and then spain came to the US and won the world cup while trump sat there and watched

spain strategy: keep passing, close down your man, press the advantage argentina strategy: whoever has the ball, murder them

i’ve made this point before but no actual Italian person I know gives a shit about christopher columbus. when I was growing up the biggest italian icon in my house was mike piazza

It is undeniably funny that Chris Rufo - whose whole career is based on the idea that identity politics is so bad that its fine to ruin people's lives over it - is unhappy that Mamdani is not adequately appreciative of his identity

in fact I remember learning very early on that actually christopher columbus was just a fucking idiot
