I've mentioned that I stand by all queer people, and that includes the large gay men who talk about being large gay men over and over again but y'know.

Bears repeating.

We are currently outside the ICE Broadview concentration camp where Sunny Naqviโ€™s family believes her to be held after being detained in Oโ€™Hare by federal authorities.

this would be the second most foolish thing trump could do in this situation, so i guess we can hope this means he was successfully talked out of the first most foolish thing he could do (drop a nuke somewhere)

Worth watching the whole clip, but purely in propaganda terms it seems to me, admittedly just an amateur observer when it comes to war fighting, that it may be useful to send the message to the 91+ million Iranian civilians that we are not trying to kill them.

Wait - the corner of Olympic and Cloverfield, Santa Monica? Ladies and Gentlemen, that is almost exactly the location where the old Buffy offices stood. I believe we may owe thanks for this one to the Hellmouth.

whatโ€™s even more extraordinary is that the economy was mostly doing okay despite his absolute best efforts - as damaging as his tariffs and immigration policies are, we hadnโ€™t tipped over into a recession

and so, unsatisfied, he decided to kick the economy in the dick with a huge oil shock

Hi guys, im so sorry but I need...a lot of help this time. Due to my IIH ive become near partial blind & need new glasses, I cant afford them on my own. I also still need to pay bills. As well start saving for inevitable surgery later this year. Im sorry to constantly ask for help.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and weโ€™re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

a lot of what has made discourse insane is that there's an entire crop of guys who live in dc, do a ton of uppers, and have massive gender insecurity around the fact that they're soft-handed scribes

โ€œMAGAโ€™s fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other peopleโ€ is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision theyโ€™ve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.

I am not trying to do the whole "everything's a distraction" thing, but the DOJ holding onto specific allegations about Trump assaulting a minor and releasing them after a war against Iran has taken center stage is, uh... noteworthy timing.

Female athletes and sex verification: Ewa Kล‚obukowska failed the chromosomal test in 1967, later gave birth to a son. Extra X chromosome! Anyway I like how no one wants to learn biology or history just because they like stepping on the same motherfucking rake.

As someone who routinely mocks permabullish clickbait oil forecasts, I want to be exceptionally clear:

Crude WILL go to $200/bbl, en route higher, unless traffic through the Strait resumes.

Not clickbait, but rather brutal physics and necessary economic incentives.

crazy you have to understand this government through that lens. a shocking amount of people voted for him in order to win online arguments. they fall in behind any braindead shit he does to win online arguments. however many thousands of iranian dead dont matter. but the menchies? those matter a lot

trump is taking political hits on iran is because he is now undermining his supporters' ability to win online arguments. you can just own them ruthlessly on the iran thing now for being dumdums. and this they cannot bear. they can tolerate any amount of murder and mayhem, but not being owned online

Last reskeet: Shit like that is why I will perpetually insist Trump's approval rating is even lower than officially stated to be; he's supported by people who would rather eat dog shit than publicly admit backing him was a mistake.

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

โ€ขClean up your email inbox (badly)
โ€ขGive my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
โ€ขTell a 12 yr old to kill himself
โ€ขIncinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

You better wake the fuck up now. If we don't make their lives ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MISERABLE, we're going be the ones who get shafted. And HARD.
