the ADL is more mad about Zohran calling a neighborhood Eastern European than Elon giving a Nazi salute Zohran derangement syndrome is real

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dip

Most predictable thing in my lifetime are GOP presidents gutting revenues, blowing up deficits and debt, and crashing out so a Dem can just barely pull it back together before 4-8 years of solid right wing propaganda somehow demoralizes/tricks enough people to do it again.

And who needs algebra. Or astronomy to the point of the first working observatories. Or the entire foundational conception of modern medicine and hospitalization. Or brewed coffee. Coffee alone is entirely enough to justify a civilization. Nothing justifies this shitpiece in our government.

Case in point.

One of the most important financial stories out there if you want to know how and why the same five evil guys wind up owning everything.

Young ‘uns: this stuff happened once a week during Obama’s presidency. Dijon mustard. Moving a bust of Churchill. Inviting a rapper to the White House. Putting his feet up on his desk. They’d scream and cry for days about how effete and snobby and Black he was and how misinderstood they were.

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

The only thing we know about Bryan Johnson is that his wiener could be mistaken for a thumb.

I have a super cool AI agent who lives in Canada.

incredible strategic error by Pat McAfee to reveal he is deeply bothered by relatively mild mockery from college students despite a key component of his job being "standing on a stage in front of college students for 3 hours a week"

That article I reposted made me poke around and now I've discovered the r/chocolate reddit and now I know there cannot be world peace

Three Politico reporters on a third-string local story?

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

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.
