It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough

Any team truly interested in Skubal could have beaten that package, so save the takes about the Dodgers ruining baseball.

The Democratic presidential debates need to have spring loaded traps underneath each candidate and any time one of them says "we need to move on" or "I'm focused on the future, not the past" they should be immediately launched through the roof of the auditorium.

I want trials for every last one of these mother fuckers.

This is how to speak to every single one of those sycophants.

The president is a liar. He lies constantly & without hesitation. His lies about American elections are among his most dangerous b/c they are meant to convince a susceptible public that democratic outcomes cannot be trusted. They are antidemocratic lies in service of holding onto power. He’s a liar!

My hot take is that regarding Congress like it's analogous to some normal workplace with colleagues who are all ultimately on the same team is exactly the thing everybody is disgusted by, because politics and policy are real to them, because they are not smug cloistered fucking nitwits.

Turns out my US soccer takes are like my US political takes: I don’t think getting your ass fucking handed to you is the inevitable conclusion of all things and the people should expect and demand better.

The USMNT and Knicks being really good except for the precise moment when Trump involves himself is really funny

Yakety sax.

"The Americans can't get the slime out of their capital's monument pool and will arrest you for touching it," sounds like the sort of lie they'd tell us in the Soviet Union so we'd stop bitching about bread lines.

Props to CNN’s chyron writer:

Lol, all credit to the Knicks - incredible guts - but good lord, what an abominable half of basketball by the Spurs. They made every bad decision, took every bad shot, and made every conceivable mistake it would take to blow a 27-point halftime lead. And they did it in 23 minutes and 59 seconds.

I suspect this might be the best photo I ever take

I am here to make snide, belittling comments about ”sportsball” to demonstrate my superiority over people who like different things than I do but my ironically groomed dog stole my inhaler and hid under the couch and I can’t fit down there COME BACK HERE WITH THAT CHE THIS IS MAKING ME ANXIOUS

Trump really has remade the whole conservative movement in his image. Weiss is just like him, a petulant power mad imbecile who can do literally nothing right and gets incandescent with rage anytime she is questioned, but also too much of a chickenshit to fire people to their face

Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

lol Scott Pelley and the old guard at 60 Minutes eat people like this alive for breakfast.

it is very simple folks. "unqualified DEI hire" is when you're not a white male, "merit-based promotion" is when you are a white male and also pete hegseth's personal assistant. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/u...

This is the whole AI debate in a nutshell. If you think the point of humanity is product, not process, you love AI.

it’s so funny that they think people who want to fly to LA are just going to go to Topeka instead bc that’s where the plane is headed

Faulkner: "Sanctuary cities include Boston, Chicago, Denver, LA, NY, Philadelphia, SF. All of those airports handle 1,100 int'l flights per day. They're not just gonna not fly. They're gonna go to red states and cities. A boon for red states. People will just really hate living in blue states."

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

A US-born woman born was confronted by sheriff deputies in Louisiana who were convinced her ID and social security card were fakes. They turned her over to ICE, who shackled her & took her an hour away. Even after a lawyer convinced ICE of the woman's citizenship the sheriff says they did no wrong

what do you call it when the president steals an unfathomable amount of wealth from the treasury and then declares it illegal to investigate him

Alien: And how did you run out of water? Earthling: Machines drank it. Alien: Machines. Earthling: We had to feed machines the water. Aliens: So the machines were holding your planet hostage for water. Earthling: No, we made the thirsty machines. They worked for us. Alien: End communication.
