Watch Cook figure out where Schiff is going with this line of questioning just a few seconds too late.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 15m ago

holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!

Sadly, this is two movie titles rather than one.

Los Angeles! This will be good, you should go to this.

I just assumed the trailer was a bait-and-switch for an actual THE PURGE, BUT FOR BONING thriller where the central couple is so hot they inspire a revolution

#OneNightOnly pretends that Mr. Dua Lipa & smokeshow Monica Barbaro are unfuckable. It also draws too much attention to the politics of its gimmick. A chaste rated R sex comedy. My review of The Sex Purge Movie: freshfiction.tv/one-night-on...

At the time, medical authorities said "If any of this works, it'll look like we overreacted," and yep, here we are.

MAGA/MAHA sycophants now claim that because mitigation measures worked 6 years ago, this is proof they were unnecessary. The stupid, it burns.

I assume the suit is part of the Republican transition program.

BLITZER: Why is Israel, another country, your red line right now, rather than a domestic issue that impacts Americans' everyday lives? FETTERMAN: Yeah, absolutely. And I agree with a lot of Democrats too. I called trash Platner.

Someone in my writing group who hasn't said anything for months submitted 100 new pages over the weekend and said he has started “working with a collaborator” and after exactly two comments on his pages he let it slip it's ChatGPT. This is gonna be a bloodbath.

okay but, this is the way we fight AI in everyday life we need to foster an atmosphere of disgust and repulsion of AI, like AI is like seeing a roach in a google review. Get up and leave the restaurant. "um, I just saw some AI stuff, I just... I dunno, it's gross haha. I'm good. thanks. Thank you"

jess m. 🌤️@jametc.bsky.social · 19h ago

we need to be normies about this and be like "EEEWW... IS THAT AI? THAT'S SO GROSS.... EW IT LOOKS SO GROSS (gag noise) UM, LET'S GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. EW LOL" normalize being outwardly repulsed by it physically

I enjoyed the first VIOLENT NIGHT a lot more than I expected to, and honestly? "Brighter, sillier, bloodier" feels like a pretty good pitch for a sequel.

"Unfortunately, I can’t give anyone a view into my heart and mind," is perhaps the stupidest thing anyone has written in an op-ed since "Relax, Trump will be fine"

Great. We've caught up to Bradbury.
