My girlfriend bought a bag from another woman on FB marketplace…she had me go pick it up and I wound up grabbing it from…the other woman’s boyfriend, whom she had dispatched to hand it over
I’m increasingly convinced the secret to progressive change in America is for Democrats to run on a centrist platform, implement very left policy, and then lie relentlessly about it without shame, like Republicans do
the gay gentleman helping me size my suit today complimented me on my athletic figure and my girlfriend IMMEDIATELY rolled her eyes because she knew she’d be hearing about it all week
AOC explains just how badly Kevin McCarthy screwed himself
1: Congress was supposed to be on recess this week. He called them back for unclear reasons.
2: If a motion to vacate the chair is launched, the Speaker has 48 hours to shore up his support before the vote. He waived…
It is kinda funny that Zuckerberg is liberal coded when he’s been married to his college sweetheart for decades and has three kids, while Musk is conservative coded when he’s been divorced multiple times and has sired lots of kids out of wedlock
it’s kind of weird how we have whole classes of profession where the norm is that they’re vaguely scammy and you have to be super careful about being ripped off—car dealerships, auto mechanics, dentists…
“Having sex in the same house as your children is child abuse, you should only have sex if you hire a babysitter and bill a hotel room” is quite possibly one of the wildest Zoomer Takes I’ve seen here in a while
The U.S. Department of Energy confirmed its discovery of a 3,400-kiloton reserve of lithium in California's Salton Sea, making it one of the largest exploitable lithium deposits in the world.
Messi refusing Saudi Arabia’s offer of $1.6 billion in favor of a riskier deal in the US, in part, because his wife was very reluctant to move to Saudi, is yet another example of how the liberal values so many deride as “soft” are actually quite the competitive advantage
I know it’s cliche to say “I did not have this on my bingo card” now but…I did not have “Andrew Tate sides with Hamas because he’s anti-vaxx” on my bingo card
People will go crazy viral saying “here’s a truth that THEY never taught us” and it’s like an extremely mundane thing that you were absolutely taught in school but just didn’t pay attention to
I know this is a grim time and any jokes are in bad taste but I would be lying if I said my first thought wasn’t imagining Hitler seeing this and having a stroke
I am not asking anyone to sit around and feel sorry for the people on the submarine. I am asking you to refrain from saying “man it fucking rules a 19 year old died a horrifying death on a submarine.” Asking you to refrain from being an asshole is not asking you for empathy
chief of staff: Mr. President, Argentina has elected a far right, hyper capitalist Presidential candidate.
joe biden [ munching block of Kerrygold butter ]: hot damn. we do that?
chief of staff: weirdly enough, not this time, no.
We congratulate
@JMilei
on his election as President of Argentina. We look forward to continuing bilateral cooperation based on shared values and interests.
Putin's array of yes men convincing him his military was far more capable than it actually was and Xi's propaganda campaign against Western mRNA vaccines forcing him to rely on COVID Zero are powerful reminders that, as messy as it can be, an open democratic discourse is superior
during his nomination, Kavanaugh argued that he shouldn’t be held accountable for something he did as a teenager
today, he ruled that teenagers should be imprisoned for life without a chance for parole
From the DGSE documentary: “Some surveillance techniques are shown. For example, one agent displays how he replaces an HDMI cable in an office with another including a small SD card that records all video coming through such as Zoom calls.”
one idea that both left and right wing critics of Democrats seem to share is that Trump being elected is primarily punishment for Democrats—as if there isn’t an entire planet of people who will face real life and death consequences
So technically under the law, TikTok does not actually HAVE to divest. They can instead pay a fine of $5,000 per user, which works out to... $850 billion.
Every previous American would’ve dreamed of doing to Russia what Biden has done, at about 5% of our defense budget. This has to have been the most cost effective knee capping of a major geopolitical rival in history
a major difference between Millenials and Boomers is that, even as we have aged into marriage, we haven’t adopted the “ugh, I hate my wife” Boomer humor. There’s an entire genre of jokes about loathing your spouse we grew up with that just would not land these days
I’ve been cluster reading a lot of war memoirs recently, and I’ve noticed that compared to others, American soldiers never look forward to the glory of death. I see it in Japanese, German, Vietnamese soldiers, (Muslims obviously) but Americans fiendishly want to live.
This is what someone sent me because I pointed out that someone who is so disabled they are incapable of microwaving a meal needs hands-on medical care and not DoorDash
Keep meeting non-US girls who watched too much Netflix and adopted a 100% US valley girl persona and accent while never having been to US
"Oh my gawddd LIKE that's SO true!"
Kinda mind boggling you can export entire personas via fibre optic cables
Between this and the “10,000 word essay on why I became an alcoholic who cheated on my husband” column I feel like The Cut’s business model is just hiring the most unhinged people imaginable and giving them a column
Literally an hour after Biden says the President of Egypt is the President of Mexico Trump says the Prime Minister of Hungary is the President of Turkey. amazing
BIDEN: Listen, Henry, I’m sorry, but my numbers in the 18-29 demo are looking grim
KISSINGER: Vat are you saying…
BIDEN [pulls out skull of a Cambodian child]: it’s time
KISSINGER: my final horcrux
This indictment really does hit home that the US Government does not have secret knowledge of alien life. Trump would’ve told every car dealership owner who played a round of golf at Mar-a-Lago about the big, beautiful aliens with their yuge floating saucers
Russian mercenaries are in "hot pursuit" of the notorious warlord Joseph Kony, after a bloody near-capture in a remote corner of the Central African Republic earlier this month, sources tell Rolling Stone.
She’s been his ride or die since he was a sweaty nerd in college. They have three kids together. They’re both very normal looking middle-aged people.
What is wrong with you?
RFK Jr. says vaccines cause autism, Wi-Fi causes cancer, there were no mass shootings before the invention of Prozac, and “has no position on the relationship between HIV/AIDs.”
I am sick and tired of people normalizing this hateful, insane, bigoted lunatic
Looking objectively at the Dem field,
@RobertKennedyJr
is a MUCH better general election candidate than Biden.
#RFKJr
has high net favorables, independent and cross-party appeal, and would trounce any Republican.
The establishment claim that Biden is more electable is absurd.
It is honestly astounding that a guy who, by all accounts, is actually a very smart engineer, doesn’t understand the basics of correlation and causation. They were put on ventilators *because* they were dying!
DEI in Academia: why “being on time” is colonialist white supremacy
DEI in Corporate: Did you know it was bad to demand your employee have sex with you for a promotion?
