It is kind of remarkable to see Jake Tapper actually doing his job for once
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayTAPPER: Do you know what a tall order it is to believe that 3 women who don't know each other made up accusations of you being violent, and you are telling the truth and they are all lying? That's difficult to believe, right? MAX MILLER: No. Not in this instance.
it’s amazing that there are ostensibly famous British people i never know about until they die and are remembered as a pedophile
It's a huge insult to snake oil salesmen to refer to Sam Altman as a snake oil salesmen. They actually have to develop charm and social skills to be good at their jobs, he just gets on twitter and is like "look, I can't even talk to my own kids much less you vermin."

I don't want a "Smart Fridge" that orders milk for me. I want a fridge that lasts 25 years and doesn't have a privacy policy that allows it to share my late-night snacking habits with my health insurance provider.
Twitter discourse: Christopher Nolan is a race traitor who has tarnished ancient Greece with black people. We must harness AI to ensure purity. Bluesky discourse: the scholar behind the acclaimed 2017 translation of The Odyssey has some thoughts, and folks, talk about iambic pentaMURDER!
It's probably just a coincidence that a far right pro Russia leader American chuds treated like a god badly lost an election and now some of the chuds are seeing the light

This is honestly pretty impressive. As Onion / Clickhole headlines go there are pretty easy ones to be the embodiment of (worst person you know etc), but this is niche stuff.
Parker Molloy@parkermolloy.com · 2w agoAs it's now been more than 10 months since he died, I want to point out that the TikTok account for Charlie Kirk's show is still Cartman, making Kirk the embodiment of this 2014 Onion article. theonion.com/dead-faceboo...
Every time I find myself thinking the Guardian is a better than average news source I remember they have a partnership with OpenAI

Statistically Christopher Nolan is the exact right age for a prominent artist who lost their mind, or at least became very annoying, on social media. Instead he just doesn't opt in. That's awesome. I know nothing about what he believes outside of like, film stock, and that's the ideal.
I tell ya, things ain't been goin' great at home. My wife and I, we're fatigued, we're nauseous, we feel like we could explode at any moment. Yeah, then we got the cyclospora!

I kind of respect Lindsey for not letting medical advice get in the way of Meet The Press. He only went on there like, 80 times a year, gotta make sure people remember who you are.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov · 3w agoWhat I’ll remember most about Senator Graham was his sense of humor and how he deployed it to move his policy positions forward. Though we did not often agree, Senator Graham was never disagreeable.
Increasingly fringe far right zionists have come to the same conclusion as everyone else - Rahm Emanuel sucks - but for very different reasons
Joel S.@joelhs.bsky.social · 4w agoDo these people realize how ridiculous the message “Rahm Emanuel is worse than a Kapo” sounds to most American voters, and even most American Jewish voters? How much they’re talking to a smaller and smaller community by the day?
For most intents and purposes, Trump's brain froze in the '80s, and now that he's obviously sundowning it's going to become more apparent
Mother Jones@motherjones.com · 4w agoThe grip "communism" has on the president's psyche needs to be studied. Over the past two weeks alone, Trump has brought up communism a full 81 times.
There's nothing magic about someone who fairly recently worked as a bartender having a better instinct for understanding horrible men than congresspeople who haven't had a real job in decades
Eric Michael Garcia@ericmgarcia.bsky.social · last mo.AOC not getting behind Graham Platner looks like a chess move now.
It's obviously not the worst in terms of his personal behavior but when it became clear that he was not actually a working class guy and came from substantial family money, i.e. his whole political identity was made up, it shouldn't have surprised anyone that more horrific lies were on the way
Lupita Nihongo@otsumamiboy.blacksky.app · last mo.He lied about every single thing. Everyday. He ran knowing full well who he is while presenting himself as someone else (poorly). He wasted everyone’s time & money & shattered people’s credibility. He used the political process as a vanity project to the detriment of the folks he wanted to represent
Maine has unusually specific election laws regarding who can replace a candidate this late in the cycle. It must be either Stephen King or the girl who played the backup goalie who made the winning save against the Iceland team in D2: The Mighty Ducks.
Mr. President sir your speech is far too important for a storm to disrupt. Defy the gods sir. You've got this.

One thing I'd never noticed before in Independence Day, amidst all the mindless jingoism, is that it pretty clearly depicts Judaism as the one true religion
A large sector of politically engaged zoomers were taught via the campus Palestine protests that nonviolent protest will be met with violent suppression in a largely bipartisan way. Older generations' penchant for violence has softened with time.

One understated aspect of classic Simpsons is that celebrity cameos were often just things like this, comedy legends who wanted to dick around for a bit, as opposed to people with carefully planned promotional appearances
Josh Fruhlinger@jfruh.bsky.social · last mo.one of my fav little mel brooks things is his simpsons cameo, where homer wants to wants to do a 2000-year-old man bit w/him, and brooks explains it won't work w/out carl reiner but homer launches into it anyway & then brooks enthusiastically jumps in www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcbX...
Rs have been trying to make Mamdani the face of the party for like a year now. All that's happened is he's balanced the budget, made city life seem enjoyable, helped more progressive dems win, and charmed our senile president whenever they've gotten within 100 meters of each other
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.
Maybe the reason DSA and associated groups are having so much luck with low-info voters is because they actually seem happy and eager to govern, and their opponents in both the center and the right act and sound like the most miserable people on earth
