Just fell down a VEEP GIF rabbit hole and there are some really seldom-used classics in there I'm going to use to impress the normies, folks.

Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

Texas when it comes to guns versus when it comes to marjuana

"Unflattering conclusions about the populace" has been the basis of 99.9% of my arguments with people to my left, mainly when it comes to consumerism and voting.

Amanda Mull@amandamull.bsky.social · 2d ago

there is a strain of lefty discourse where you can’t come to any unflattering conclusions about the populace—those must be explained away by how they are being acted upon by capital—but I think you’ll understand things better if you understand capital can also exploit weaknesses it didn’t create

Thinking about it more, getting someone to tell you a big secret, then not returning the favor is straight out of the Dee Valladares playbook #BB28

Guys and gals. Spider-Man 4 was very good. Not great, but very good. I had a great time, they probably could've trimmed about 20 minutes of fat off that bad boy, because there is a capital-G great movie in there.

guys saying KILLMONGER was correct are so funny pls be serious

It's generally accepted on here that transphobia is a big, flashing warning light about someone who's about to go down a right wing rabbit hole, and I think after this week we should probably consider "still mad about Dr. Fauci" in a similar way

"I want to consider the idea…that forms this article's header image: 'Great evils require great remedies.' It's a good phrase. But it reflects a moralistic or even aesthetic way of thinking about practical problems. This essay takes a different tack: great evils require effective remedies."

I refuse to apologize.

At the Karol G show in Chicago last night and it may have been the largest collection of attractive people I've ever seen in one place at one time, great job everyone, truly. Teenaged me would have passed out from a lack of blood being able to reach my brain for 2.5 hours.

Okay, so I was at Karol G last night as Soldier Field and that shit absolutely banged. What a show.

Ric Flair would be proud of the heel work being done by Argentina rn

Goddamn I hope Spain loses

Feels like there would be less flopping if the refs made sarcastic jerk-off gestures whenever they tried it.

If these hydration breaks were period accurate they'd be having ecto coolers and orange slices

My hot take is that Lindsey Graham did many contemptible things but if you’re furious that his Senate Democratic colleagues are posting nice things about him today you need to put down your phone, get some fresh air, and remember a time when a colleague you disliked departed this mortal coil.

I got to know Senator Lindsey Graham traveling with him abroad in Afghanistan and Ukraine. We had just met to renew the fight for our Big Tech bill. Even though we disagreed on much, he was always willing to negotiate, with humor and wit. My heart goes out to his loved ones.
