"Where the hell does that running-dog MbappΓ© get off calling Mao a 'dictator'?!β ββ¦The personality cult?β βFine, apart from the cult.β ββ¦And the Little Red Book? And the Anti-Rightist Campaign, obviously, after he asked everyone for criticism to βlet a hundred flowers bloom.β
ββ¦ & Liu Shaoqi dying in custody. & Deng, twice. & not holding a Party Congress for 13 yrs, & turning teenagers loose on the Party itself, & the struggle sessions, the labor camps, the execution quotas, & personally owning the armyβ¦β
βYES! YES! But APART from all that, the *point* is that wily rascal MbappΓ© has hurt the feelings of 1.4 billion Chinese hearts! When has Mao ever really behaved like a dictator?β β¦ ββ¦ putting his face on all the money & having his preserved corpse on display in the Capital??β βOH, SHUT IT!!β

βOkay! Apart from the cult, the book, the rightists, & purging Peng Dehuai for being correct about the Great Leap. My point isβ¦β ββ¦And the famine.β βYes, yes, the famine that caused some 30 million deaths by starvation due to official incompetence and fear of being purged for reporting bad news!β
And then Hunny Bunny, big Hunny, strong Bunny, he says to me, tears in his eyes, he says, βSir which wallet is your, Sir? Iβm so stupid I canβt find it.β And I said to him - are you ready? - I tell him, βbitch, be cool. itβs the one that says Bad Motherfucker on in.β Oh! Iβm not supposed to say it!
Trump on DC: "Nobody wanted to eat out. They were afraid. Even if you were in the restaurant, people would walk in and like the Wild West, 'Hold it up!' Everybody is standing there. Can you imagine? A fancy restaurant. They were robbing the whole restaurant. It's crazy."
[Shout from the crowd]: "I LOVE YOU, PUMPKIN!" [VANCE]: "I love you too, Hunny-Bunny! In a totally platonic way, to be clear! This is a robbery, everybody, not a basement session at Zed's Pawn Shop!"
Next stop: Idaho, ho! [JD]: βIt sure does feel good to be in Boys!β [AUDIENCE]: βItβs *Boise.*β
Nothing says βsincerityβ quite like mispronouncing the stateβs capital. Not sure the Forstag & Bodnar campaigns couldβve possibly dreamed of this kind of unforced, free windfall for them

yikes -- JD Vance butchers the pronunciation of Helena during his speech in Montana and then says, "I am humble enough to admit when I'm wrong"
[NARRATOR]: βHe had personally started the war with Iran.β
Have you ever been in a traffic jam so long, Neo, that you weren't sure if you were still driving, or only dreamed the world outside your car? Look out there. What you see is not an expressway. It's a holding pen. 50 lanes into 4 at the Beijing tollbooth. Cars are no longer driven. They are stored.
For the longest time, I wouldn't believe it. Then I saw the G4 with my own eyes. Watched them hand out lukewarm Nongfu to people parked there since Monday. Watch them boil fangbianmian bought at 5x/price in the median. Watched a man finished 2 whole seasons of a Red drama in front of the same sign.
And standing there on the overpass, watching the brake lights stretch horrifyingly off away deep into Hebei, I came to realize the obviousness of the truth: nobody was going home. They were home, and always had been.
I'M NOT THAT KLINGON. I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DISHONOR YOUR HOUSE ON. OF COURSE I'M NOT DISHONORING YOUR HOUSE. I'M ENGAGING WITH YOU AS A FELLOW WARRIOR. HM? WHY WOULD I DISHONOR YOUR HOUSE? THERE'S NO... THERE'S NO REASON FOR ME TO DO THAT.

It ought to be noted, though, that Dante's take on Ulysses was as a child of Rome, & had only ever read of that Aeneid through earlier romans like Cicero & Ovid... all of whom saw themselves as the Children of Troy & the armies of Agamemnon as the OG Anti-Romans
Like this is not a modern woke take. This is an ancient take echoed through history. He kind of sucks. Dante has him in the eighth circle of Hell. That's like the second to worst one.
I am announcing a Burrito Hyperloop, coming soonβ’οΈ
no, it's not a burrito taxi. there are three different burrito orders in one vehicle, you see, so actually it's more like a burrito bus. transit needs to work for everyone, including food items.
Itβs literally one of the few ways that makes one an American.
Rally speaker: "Mike Rogers is an American. Abdul has a birth certificate. The birth certificate says he's a citizen of America. You know what? a birth certificate doesn't make you an American."

The latest Truth Social post from the president of the United States.
I do not-so-lowkey love that Maher came out with yet another smarmy smug "ain't I a stinker" asshole "oops I did it again" about his new Dinner Avec Trump, & was all like "he was the perfect gentleman, you stupid liberals" on then gets... THIS in return Fuck off into the Sun, Bill.

I'm ever more convinced that it's not even really a bit for him anymore, Matty really is just earnestly this stupid.
I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.
Complete erase of the many Setthews and Sethmereldas of the world
Seth is a name that sounds like it should be short for something but it isn't which is why I don't trust them
Then thereβs that one guy I think in Oklahoma - Sethwayne
Day 3 of heavy fog & Iβm starting to feel like Iβm living in a Stephen King storyβ¦
TFW you erase something but then you can still read the indent in the paper...
it sounds crazy, I know, I know, but hear me out...
Name two characters you think are the same person.
[Marissa]: "Quick! What are 3 things my 10 year old daughter likes?!" [Dazzle] <takes Colt .45 out of mouth> "i dunno, man... 'ponies'... 'pink,' probably?... and... fuck it, 'cupcakes.' <puts gun back in mouth>
Sorry, but you've all massively undercounted. There are actually 108 kinds of Bluesky users. They are further subdivided into 36 Heavenly Stars & 72 Earthly Fiends.
<wiping blood from mouth> βheh. you think youβve won? in spite of your strongest attacks, you havenβt killed a cheesecake factory. Youβve merely created a milllion cheesecake factories. death is only the beginningβ¦β <ominously evaporates>

i cannot imagine doing this shit what the fuck lmao have people lost their marbles
Sometimes when I'm down, I go and look up the old places I used to work, and I find the ones that have shut down since I left, & I just go "yeah, that's right."
By his own words he thinks his fellow Americans are stupid, illiterate losers, marks, suckers, & rubes always ripe for the exploitation. He despises them all & everything theyβve ever purported to stand for. And he keeps getting proven right
Trump says Alaskaβs ballot is illegal because people donβt know what βincumbentβ means
Heβs the very embodiment of what happens to the hubris that hands a chimpanzee a loaded AK-47. He is the clownβs revenge
If youβve seen him, heβs seen you, & itβs already too late
Psyche Delhi-san, the mascot for the shopping district in hip and alternative Koenji, Tokyo, is a mysterious psychedelic creature with glowing eyes and a protruding tongue.
Literally talking about himself. Zero self-awareness.
I have to date never found a better term for this kind of performative cosplaying keyboard warrior than "dork ass loser"
Look, you don't get an ass like a pile of meat without being one of the greatest Div III football players of all time.
Trump is now claiming that Jon Husted is one of the greatest football players ever
