Friend shared this video of a man unveiling the library he hid when he fled Damascus in 2011. It’s incredible

“God almighty Rivington, that was some professional-quality c***sucking.”

not the point but imo it's adorable when people who aren't gay men post about Grindr and think it's one of those nice apps where you match with people instead of a meat market where anyone you haven't actively blocked has full, feral access to you

Sam Altman matched with a man on Grindr, who posted the conversation. Open AI offered him money to take it down. He made a song instead.

Historically, Trump's numbers are closer to those of presidents who aren't invited to the next nominating convention than to presidents who get to hand pick the next nominee. Act accordingly.

Trump absolutely cratering by many metrics in new CNN poll: 66% say he puts himself over country 61% disapprove of ballroom, arch, etc 57% say lacks sharpness to serve (!) 73% say he's out of touch w/regular people (!!) His personalist project is over. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2137...

Not to nostalgia post, but strawberries have never tasted better than after we picked and washed them from my parent’s garden when I was ten. And I can’t remember any of them being much bigger than a 50 cent piece

Unpopular opinion: strawberries should not be the size of plums. All m odern strawberries taste so weak as a result. www.theguardian.com/thefilter/20...

Brb, taking an enormous bet out on Polymarket that the next move the Trump admin does is just cover the Reflecting Pool with a giant blue tarp…

the 'heh, look at these cringes voting' shit is just more evidence for my thesis that pretty much everyone would be happier if a lot of folks putatively into politics just got really into like avant-garde art/music scenes or something, where you can exclude lames to your heart's content
