(The abbot means they were on that path before Trump I, not that they were on it before the Ayatollah’s assassination.)

Not to get too Zillennial on here but I have not yet been able to figure out from context what “Peak Oil” is.

Nevertheless a company with their level of debt and overinflated value starting to lose market position seems like it could have some Implications, no?

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

(I recognize not everyone has the job, lifestyle, and physical ability that I have, this is a joke.)

Better believe it, United States Senator Ron Wyden.

This post inspired equally by Orange Ricky and by a relative of one of my spouse’s friends who has a large tabby named Big City.

Shout this from the rooftops.

When I first got in I was too scared to open the oven. I shut it off, let it cool all day, and finally opened it after everyone else had left. Found a flat glass pancake irretrievably bonded to the ceramic plate on the bottom of the oven.

I’ve already read more than my lifetime share of First Things.

(I work in a lab)

Meant to put a $300 piece of glassware in the oven at 550C (roughly 1000F) to burn off any contaminants.

Mentally mixed up C and F. Put the glassware in the oven, cranked it up to 1000C. Forgot about it, left for the weekend.

I’m sorry this happened to you but at this remove the story is KILLING me

First Things is a conservative Catholic culture magazine. Idk which article specifically this is but you can find them easily on Google.

Does the progressive mainline lack vibrancy? Okay, so be it— let that be one more separation between us and the gangrenous tissue of American conservative Christianity, rotted to bone by decadence, fear, and insularity.

I’m sincerely a little surprised that SC isn’t on the reach list. This super-unpopular Iran war is Lindsay Graham’s special baby— do we really think Joni Ernst loses her seat before he does?

Gonna have to think about about what makes a politician projection-able, because it’s probably an important dynamic.

Merovingians said #onhere that Platner is the test case for the Dem Tea Party; now Matt Y says that he’s a sign the Dem Party has gotten less censoriously woke. Maybe one of his assets— much like Fetterman, and for that matter Trump— is that you can project whatever future you want onto him.

Cannot emphasize enough that if Platner wasn’t running for office he would be on here or Reddit accusing Matt Yglesias of personally committing genocide in Gaza. But, in this reality, he’s getting criticized for bigotry so Matt is his friend.

Hahaha Matt Y polarized himself into supporting the dumbest online lefty to ever run for office

It is true that he has absolutely no real views whatsoever but that's actually really helpful in this situation, because you should take it as a clear sign and a win if someone with no beliefs feels the wind is blowing in your direction.

I mean… who would the PRC have talked to? If somebody told them to eat shit on behalf of the Islamic Republic, that person was not operating within their official capacity one way or another. Is it possible they just literally couldn’t get anyone on the phone who could speak for the whole govt.?

I know I wouldn’t risk $100MMs of physical capital on a venture backstopped by a promise from Trump.

Seems like a smart move for climate people is to organize these folks and stop with the, "AI is good, actually," takes.

This is a man who kneels to pray, brags to his God about how many people he killed today, and thinks he gets a spiritual fist bump and a guttural “hell yeah, brother” from the divine.

We simply cannot allow these fucking morons to act like they're the ones who truly love this country. They don't take matters of life and deaths seriously. They aren't patriots--they're the most selfish people on the planet.

This took me out unexpectedly while I was scrolling, much like what happened to Dan Crenshaw

I can distinguish some finer points of different bourbons but absolutely cannot express or explain what I’m tasting to others so mostly I just sound insane talking about them.

[gesturing vaguely] give me two hundred dollars
