Trump is getting too unpopular so the regulatory system of the Democratic Party has popped up this turd again to tell people "look, you've got to hate immigrants and queers more"

If you believe your post about Franken is being misinterpreted, why would you not explain it?

"calling off the attack on Iran" would be a good start.

You know, I bet we could just replace Keir Starmer with Paul Heaton and while people would notice nobody would say anything.

Trump has laid bare a lot of how America and the world really works by just giving up the charade but I wasn't expecting him to just put out there that obviously America's violent interventions lead to attacks like 9/11 but that's a price we're willing to pay to keep doing it

let's be clear, nobody thinks that Markwayne Mullin will be a better director of homeland security than Noem. We're just taking brief pleasure in a horrible person being briefly miserable because sometimes that's all there is.

nobody's offended, we just think you're acting like a bit of an idiot.

I think it's okay to leave Joss Whedon in the past, tbh.

I think when he said "correct" he meant "advisable"

Even by the standards of movies starring pro wrestlers it's hilariously bad.

Excuse me.

Oh, God. Oh, no. Holy shit. Get away from me.

I was wondering if you knew where the bathrooms are.

Look, I'm ... it's not a crime to scroll through your high school girlfriend's Instagram account. We remained friends after high school! I was at her wedding! It's only natural to see how she's doing.

I'm in a bit of a hurry, and I'm afraid that if I choose the wrong corridor, I'll be late for my train.

I think they're down that way, but I'm actually from out of town. Please stop talking to me.

Real quick, though. I agree that it's natural to be interested in an old friend, but aren't you afraid about the message you might be sending by liking a picture of her at the beach from 2015?

If that did happen, and I'm only going off your word, it was probably an accident. They put the ... scroll bars or whatever ... close to the thumbs up button. People have been complaining about that for years. I've been complaining about that for years.

look ima need white people to stop explaining to me that every white dude is prone to get obvious Nazi tattoos in their 20s. the shit is not true. I know plenty of white military dudes who didnt get Nazi tattoos. This is not a widespread phenomenon.

There's an entire enjoyable genre that I think of as British Women Who Have Fucking Had It.

Kristi Noemโ€™s firing is long overdue. She oversaw vile crimes against humanity and weโ€™ll never forget it.

But until ICE is abolished and expelled from our communities, we keep fighting.

Lawless federal agents kidnapping and killing people on our streets can never be normalized.

Everything to do with Epstein is obviously horrifying but the rest of geopolitics doesn't only exist in reference to it, for fuck's sake.

Steve-O was on Joe Rogan's show trying to defend trans people and Rogan went off, he called trans people "fucking perverts" and "mass shooters" who have done the majority of school shootings.

Completely unhinged bigotry paid for by your Spotify subscriptions.

It will not surprise you to hear that this did not work out. But one long-term consequence of that adventure is that my son, who turns 18 next week, has to do national service in Singapore starting this summer.

In 1995, I, an American idiot with hair to my shoulder blades and no relevant experience, pitched an Internet videogame based on the Cyberpunk TTRPG to the chairman of the Singapore Economic Development Board and he signed off on the project.

I can't get over how embarrassing it is to work for this administration. Feverishly checking the president's social media to verify that it's ok for you to say the sky is blue and then checking again an hour later for him to post that the sky is actually green and we're saying it very strongly

Paradoxically my experience is that less people make this mistake on Bluesky because it would be very hard to interpret consensus opinion here as being general public opinion. We know this isn't The World and tbh that's one of its selling points.
