“The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it.”

— Martin Luther King, Jr.

"We procured 2 million apples, Granny Smith and Gala. Four million Tonka trucks, most with broken wheels. We found 2,700 gremlins with big dongs that Joe Biden let run loose in the streets."

Hegseth has radicalized Richard Leon, the most conservative partisanly Republican judge not appointed by Trump I've ever met.

It's messed up that if you fall on the halfpipe they still give you a score. just let me writhe on the ground in pain instead of telling me I got a 4.75 out of 100

Reminder, here is how Skeleton is scored:

- the bones are their money
- so are the worms
- the bones equal dollars
- they will pull your hair up but not out
- all they want is another chance at life

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

If Bilbo had Chat GPT

pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:

"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

There are a lot of reasons to like sports, but the thing that draws me in is the opportunity to watch Things Not Go The Way They Are Supposed To.

It’s the thing that ties together underdog stories and impossible endings and dominant runs by superhuman athletes, this destruction of sensibility.

🚨 CURT CIGNETTI SMILE 🚨

This, right here 🎯💯. I’ve been trying to communicate this to people, as a native 🇨🇦, for a year now. Again, the fact that this wasn’t immediately seen as a presidency-ending, beyond-the-pale thing for all 535 Congresspeople, the media, & the public is deeply ugly & shameful for us as a country.

Jesus.

new york city is Real America. los angeles is Real America. chicago is Real America. minneapolis is Real America. seattle, portland, detroit etc etc. sick of this framing that it's otherwise. shut the fuck up

It's 2026 and Schumer is publicly admitting he continues to take Trump at his word

The FIFA Peace Prize used to mean something

Yeah agreed

These small-bodied G5 teams are just not physically equipped to hold up in the trenches. That's why they should stop being allowed to ruin the playoff

- JMU rushing yards in one playoff game: 186
- Bama rushing yards in last three games combined, including a 38-3 playoff loss: 48

Indiana is about to put their walk-ons against ALABAMA in the ROSE BOWL and I’m going to be processing that for a while

It's why Whittingham gives me a little bit of hope. He's done a ton with less than he'll get at Michigan. Program wealth has its own risks, but I hope that's easier than not having talent

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”

cutting usaid didn't save the u.s. any money

the wealthy just did it for the joy of it

Eventually this trend will just result in every techbrah naming their company something like “Anal Prolapse” and giving smug, tedious interviews about What It Means

Alt text: Screenshot of a tweet from the verified HHS (@HHSGov) account. The tweet states that @HHSGCMikeStuart referred Seattle Children’s Hospital to @OIGatHHS for allegedly failing to meet professionally recognized health care standards, citing Secretary Kennedy’s declaration that sex-reassignment procedures for children and adolescents are neither safe nor effective treatments for gender dysphoria, gender incongruence, or related disorders in minors. The tweet shows a timestamp of 2:47 PM on Dec 26, 2025, and 15.1K views.

HHS is trying to force Seattle Children's into doing a Sophie's choice of abandoning trans youth or see kids with cancer or other serious illness have their coverage and care disrupted. That's what this is about.

Hopefully, the courts put a quick stop to this like the subpoenas.

I've never been a "may the United States crumble" guy, but I'd rather that than Nick Fuentes be president in 20 years or fucking ever

“ The daughter of a well known conservative operative , whose paper did not answer the topic at hand and had a carefully planned media campaign , had a trans instructor fired for grading a paper according to the agreed upon rubric”

kavanaugh not beating the allegations that he’s a dumbass

the shitstorm that’s already brewing because of Bari’s decision to spike this story is going to end up being vastly more damaging to her and to the admin than allowing the story to air would have been

she’s an evil propagandist hack but she is also very bad at doing it in a way that isn’t hamfisted

i think she probably sincerely believes an investigative team at 60 minutes would have a difficult time getting in touch with stephen miller, or that they haven't thought about the language they're using
