Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

It was pretty controversial at the time too because of that recent rash of news stories of all those electrocuted surfing mice.

Two profs posted their academic genealogy on their lab door, which is a neat idea.

These people are beyond help, redemption, or reintegrating into society. When Trump is out of office without bringing great wealth to his believers, they will have nowhere to go and few people who won't shun them. You can't worship Trump for a decade+ then just go back to normal life.

"He's gonna fix it. Believe in him ... all the abortion, it's evil ... I want to see 2 people -- Trump & Jesus...we do not want Muslims taking over...I have horrible thoughts. I don't think they should be here. This isn't their country...they need to pack up & go back where they came from."

First you call it Global Rounding now we have to say it's Shape Change. What is it, liberals?

What happened to calling some broad with gams toots? Feminism needs to reclaim toots (tuts?).

They really had it *all* orchestrated, didn't they? The talking points, the tweets, the podcasters, the interview hits on Fox, the overall RW echo chamber ready to go into hyperdrive, etc They wanted to drive that all the way to Election Day But their incompetence and stupidity blew it all up

[SENATOR ERIC SCHMITT]: So you’re telling me under oath that you’ve never spoken with an Attorney General nominee? [JACK SMITH]: No, I don’t think— [SCHMITT]: WELL THEN *unveils poster* please explain this picture of you with Matt Gaetz! [SMITH]: That is Media Matters senior fellow Matt Gertz

Those who live by the ball knowledge dunks shall die by the ball knowledge dunks. That's in the Bible.

Schmitt tried to dunk on AES a month ago for not knowing ball and f*cked it up then too.

I repeat:

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

This is absolutely correct, but I worry that "truth and reconciliation" will sound too foreign to Americans who have long been allergic to truth and/or reconciliation. I'd just say "we're finally going to hold people who broke the law and violated the Constitution accountable for their crimes"

“Muscular Christianity” means that when when you’re glazing the serial predator president who deports refugee children, executes fishermen, and builds idols to himself, you TYPE REALLY HARD.

This is both hilarious and an inspiration

Hey. If the nyt invited you to be part of a focus group what would you do as a bit?

“So, Tom. Your new film with [exaggerated accent] Alejandro Iñárritu, the one with the [voice raises an octave] insensitive title?” “It’s actually D-“ “Oh, you don’t care about that sort of thing [batting his leg with his papers] do you? This must be [voice drops 3 octaves] The New Hollywood.”

I said it 11 days ago and I'll repeat it louder for those in the back. Drew is reaping the end game benefits of a well played mid game. #bb28

"I think Drew is well positioned in the game to go to the end."

there are 70 million people for whom this is the biggest song in the world. they watch comedies called like "Wives of Jim" that have run for nine seasons. they're usually pretty affable in person. in 2024 they severed the fate of humanity because of egg prices

“Choosin’ Texas” by Ella Langley officially surpasses “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey as the longest-running #1 hit in history (23 weeks).

My toddler is just jibber-jabbering away in his crib at 3:30 in the morning. "I $childname. I a chicken. I so yummy. I have no pants. I need help with my pants. It's so chilly." His little imagination is just exploding recently. I love it so much.

Why is no one but InfoWars willing to tell the TRUTH about defective InfoWars products?

Look at this. The Mona Lisa of fake outrage and boomer AI slop by a conservative influencer who eats banana with an ice tea spoon, over something that literally nobody actually cares about. You don't get this incoherent rage and clickwhoring on Bluesky. It only happens on X.
