β€œYES! 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€œβ€¦ putting his face on all the money & having his preserved corpse on display in the Capital??” β€œOH, SHUT IT!!”

β€œOkay! Apart from the cult, the book, the rightists, & purging Peng Dehuai for being correct about the Great Leap. My point is…” β€œβ€¦And the famine.” β€œYes, yes, the famine that caused some 30 million deaths by starvation due to official incompetence and fear of being purged for reporting bad news!”

And then Hunny Bunny, big Hunny, strong Bunny, he says to me, tears in his eyes, he says, β€œSir which wallet is your, Sir? I’m so stupid I can’t find it.” And I said to him - are you ready? - I tell him, β€œbitch, be cool. it’s the one that says Bad Motherfucker on in.” Oh! I’m 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."

Next stop: Idaho, ho! [JD]: β€œIt sure does feel good to be in Boys!” [AUDIENCE]: β€œIt’s *Boise.*”

Nothing says β€œsincerity” quite like mispronouncing the state’s capital. Not sure the Forstag & Bodnar campaigns could’ve 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"

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.

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 soonℒ️

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.

It’s literally one of the few ways that makes one an American.

The God of Bad Art gets offerings from all over the world, but in Their temple, They sometimes appear. "Why bad art?" I ask. "It is brave", the God replies. "To try and fail?" "No," the God chuckles. "Any creative work is a defiance of entropy, of Death itself. If you create, you do not fail."

I'm ever more convinced that it's not even really a bit for him anymore, Matty really is just earnestly this stupid.

Dan Mauler πŸŽƒ@meelar.bsky.social

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.

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 they’ve ever purported to stand for. And he keeps getting proven right
