Here's a real-world example: Last night, I took my family for our flu and Covid boosters at Walgreen's. I was directed to a QR code to complete check-in online so as not to waste any human's time. Fine — except for some reason, the check-in wouldn't recognize any birthdate after the year 2000.

Fortunately, Dick Durbin is retiring so no one should give a fuck what he thinks about SCOTUS or anything else

Illinois Senator Dick Durbin on Wednesday discouraged Democrats from engaging in the same political gamesmanship over Supreme Court nominees as their Republican colleagues if the party wins the majority in November. @kelseyreichmann.bsky.social www.courthousenews.com/durbin-pours...

THE PREMISE IS THAT THE MUPPETS ARE PUTTING ON A SHOW CALLED THE MUPPET SHOW

DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net

There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival. Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on. (Source: Deadline)

I cannot communicate how shameful and disgusting that is.

The US Navy is working to rename an aircraft carrier under construction that was set to honor a Black sailor hailed for his heroic actions during the attack on Pearl Harbor, and there have been internal conversations about renaming it to honor President Trump, sources say. https://cnn.it/4hFq6a6

I really appreciate how Trump is constantly breaking new ground in ways to humiliate Marco Rubio; it has to be his one redeeming quality

If The Simpsons took place today, their house would be worth four hundred million dollars. Homer's income adjusted for inflation would be one billion dollars per second; the pink car would be so valuable, only the Sultan of Brunei could possess it. Every person in 1987 had this

the problem the GOP has is that the american electorate has never been more interested in throwing the bums out, regardless of who will replace them and few people have ever embodied 'the bums' more than the modern GOP

This article’s first graph should say “in a new attempt to weaken 14th Amendment guarantees recently affirmed by the Supreme Court” but instead it’s mostly stenography until the 18th graph notes it will “invite fresh rounds of litigation.” www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/u...

I bet if we were really clever, we could use online trolls and canny funding for influencers to convince them to elect a vulgar stupid illiterate corrupt narcissist who destroys everything good in their country.

What a horribly bad framing. The president can’t get his own party to vote for his own nominee that they confirmed for the next-rung-lower role just last year! That’s not a “threat,” you incompetent people.

the ideal academic life is being an eccentric Victorian lord. Invent a stamp licking machine at 22. Get elected to the Royal Academy for counting the beetles on your estate. Die in an arsenic explosion. The perfect life.

This should be a lightbulb moment for Democrats: You are free to run on this platform because Republicans are going to accuse you of it whether you do or not!

Trump: "The Democrats are gonna terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they're gonna approve DC and Puerto Rico as states. They get 4 more senators, 12 more congressmen, like 40 electoral votes ... you don't want to see me cry."

This is essentially "crime is always going up" but from the left. "You can't tell this young mother whose beautiful teenage girl was raped and murdered (by an immigrant, of course) that crime is going down, you heartless bastard" is just a straight-up refusal to engage with the issues.

Nobody is going to poor people and saying "You aren't poor." They are poor. We know they are poor. We don't like that they are poor. But for years the bulk of the American population has erroneously believed the economy is declining, in ways that it empirically has not been. That's a big mystery.
