NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital. CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one PELOSI: Take the shot

I've gotten in over my head (in a pool it's actually pretty pleasant oh God I can't breathe what is happening haha nevermind I just needed to stick my head up above the water where there's air)
personally I think the New York Times’ chief legal correspondent should know that the court was not a 6-3 conservative majority during Trump’s first term
You know, I sometimes wonder, how much longer can John Roberts actually keep up his Principled Institutionalist act? Are Supreme Court pundits going really going to keep buying this stuff? And then I see something like this, and, well, I guess the answers are "a while longer," and "yes."
the Epstein congressional hearings are not going my way
we live in the ruins of a greater civilization
I love that Fish Called Wanda clocked the pundit class like 40 years ago
Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.
Now that I have been through all these stages, I understand this Douglas Adams quote a little better. Everyone is essentially correct: technology is normal and ordinary and new and exciting and against the natural order of things
they invented sliced bread in 1958 you wouldnt believe how dumb sandwiches looked before that
[people following me after a viral political post] now hang on just a sec, this gentleman is an idiot
It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this
Wokeness has not been destroyed, it has merely gone underground. Every weekend my comrades and I get together in a secret location and say pronouns to each other
A researcher calculates that, without increased production, AI will consume up to 82 terrawatt-hours of electricity this year—around the same as the annual electricity consumption of Switzerland.
AI Is Eating Data Center Power Demand—and It’s Only Getting Worse

Wrote in my Gratitude Journal this morning, like I do every day, that I’m particularly thankful for my Spite Journal, which now comprises several handsome volumes.
[inventor of the highlighter] i really enjoyed some of your book
"See ya later, masturbator" is way too childish for most situations. In more formal settings, go with the simple "Goodbye, masturbator"
Gonna be real with you, this feels like an advertisement for spiritual death
Will the NYT app ever realize that a celebrity death is not breaking news? I'm sorry. What am I saying. The death of the sixth lead from a middling 70s sitcom is obviously more important than the death of democracy.
If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.
The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.
I do not like when the nerds who post graphs on here are all going "oof" and "jesus christ" at the same time
Revealed preferences theory suggests that Wall Street executives value their ability to call their subordinates gay at approximately 8 trillion dollars
So the basic proposal, if I’m following correctly, is to wrench the whole American consumer economy back to Gilded Age protectionism by means of Executive fiat, right now, tonight, while Congress tries to relieve the tax burden on some rich people but everyone else goes on paying income taxes too.
they really need to invent a second type of money these guys can play around with separate from the money I need to buy food. Business Money. Money 2
