My God, do I despise Don’t Look Up. The most smug, self-congratulatory, “dumb guy’s idea of a smart guy” movie in a long, long while. I also hate that it’s a movie where if you dislike it, the counter argument is “you’re making the movie’s point!” Cool. If that’s the case, let the asteroid hit.

“Evangelicals are missing from the halls of power. That’s a problem.
The lack of evangelical Christians at America’s most prestigious institutions fuels mistrust.”

Congratulations, WaPo, you did it, you published the worst take

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

I have to say, I don’t love that a former editor for the “New Yorker” is using this horrible war as an excuse to spread antisemitic conspiracies that New York Jews are all Israeli sleeper agents - especially when the state of Israel has made it clear it doesn’t care about us at all.

I think it’s very telling that when Punch was fighting for his goddamn life out there Moo Deng was nowhere to be found. She was supposed to be so great. Everyone loved her. I told you all she had no substance. I was right to despise her.

I’m getting a little sick of saying this, but I think it’s worth repeating, that this speech sounds no different than your average white nationalist website.

If you’ve shoveled his before and you aren’t constantly leaving your area of the sidewalk un-shoveled, then you should just think of this as neighbors helping neighbors and an opportunity for community. If you have time, you could always bake him something as a thank you

It’s fascinating that the MAGAs really seem to think fucking up American air travel out of pure spite (by suddenly shutting down TSA Precheck and Global Entry) on a day where a blizzard is hitting the entire Northeast will make people like them *more*

That’s half the fun of it! I’d like to imagine he was glued to his notifications, saw the reply, and then tried to scramble to get something in before the block buzzer

Original thread from above. 

I replied “You know how much you have to suck to get me to side with the Niners fans? What a tool, my God”

@dandoughty.com comes back with stunning retort: “Eww”

I reply “Not sure I can make your life a lot easier, but I know I can make mine, one sec”

Theory: RFK Jr. is always doing his workouts/cold plunges/etc. with jeans on because he has a build and a temperament that screams “skips leg day” and if anyone saw his puny spaghetti noodle calves, his entire facade within the manosphere would crumble

starting your inevitable war on the judiciary under the banner of your least popular policy that's most likely to get congressional republicans to side against you

As an attorney with occasional experience with the Equal Time rule, I can explain what's going on here and how the FCC's Brandon Carr is leveraging his position to force late night and daytime talk show hosts to exclude Democratic candidates.

First I need to explain the Equal Time rule itself. 1/

It doesn't explain his relationship to the rest of the human race but a big part of RFK Jr.'s broader damage is clearly trying to find out if he can die. I guess if I had lived a life like his and was somehow still around drinking out of puddles at 72 I'd have some questions on that as well.
