A GOP group chat getting filled with slurs is a natural process, kind of like digging a well and letting it fill with water.

Crazy to think that there are people who actually believe the guy who wanted to prevent all Muslims from entering the United States will be the one who liberates them from their oppressive government.

This definitely applies, but the idea of seeing the majority of other people as "very bad" feels gross to me, just outright misanthropic.

I'm telling you right now, save yourself some time, and don't do that.

I’ve unmasked a white nationalist fight club in my city: Montreal.

After weeks of work (with help!), I can reveal an Olympian as a member of the Frontenac Active Club β€” one who, unbeknownst to the owners, brought them to a local gym for training and propaganda photos.

Here’s my investigation:

Anybody else watching Love Is Blind and stunned at the music? I’m hearing The Killers, Ed Sheeran, major label artists…. How is this happening? Did the sync market just plummet in the past year?

I never thought I’d live in a world where Joe Rogan would be considered state media.

After 9 yeareals, it's finally my turn to post the "a thousand cereals" clip, seeing as how I'm the idiot who made it.

"Gotcha journalism" is turning into the only possible way to hold any of these people to account.

Realizing that there is a whole cross-section of people who both say β€œHarris wouldn’t have started another war” and β€œIt’s really disappointing that people are siding with the Islamic regime over the people of Iran.”

Seeing an awful lot of "Why are you Pro-Hamas?" style posts on IG from what I think you could probably call "Liberal Monarchists."

I am talking to an Iranian friend of mine who is celebrating this, and feels incredibly patronized by the idea that Iran should be anti-imperialist but… I cannot help but dread what comes after this

Ling seemingly answers his own question here:
"We should cheer when the brutal Iranian regime falls, whenever that may come to pass. But..."

That's it. They don't care about the "but." Every hawk is currently thinking: "You're crying now, but you'll thank me for this." Disgusting.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.
