The only Republican I will say R.I.P. for.

I like the “we’ve been at war with iran for 40 years” talking point because by implication surviving members of the reagan bush natsec team should be tried for treason

I haven't watched Discovery, but every description I've read of The Burn sounds completely ridiculous. It was caused by an emotional attunement to dilithium? What? I'm sorry to be an old crank but this seems lazy and nonsensical to me.

Opinion | If Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were alive today, he would give his Nobel peace prize to Donald Trump

When someone says Trump and his cronies should be arrested on January 20 2029, they should specify what they'd be charged with. I'm not a lawyer and I have no idea what Vance or Noem or anyone else could be arrested for besides treason or murder. This has become one of my niche pet peeves.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing. You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics. That is all.

I never saw RDJ as Tony Stark and I definitely don't see him as Doom.

All In the Family was a sacred text in our house when I was a child. When Harry Met Sally is my wife's favorite movie. I saw The Princess Bride for the first time after a date had canceled on me a few hours before. I was enthralled. I don't know what to do now. R.I.P. Rob Reiner.

R.I.P Todd Snider Wtf is this world

Cowards.

Is No Kings a march, a protest, or a demo? Was it coherent, or counterrevolutionry? I don't know! I do know that it's good for people to have fun hating Trump. Maybe it's not tactically optimal, but it's more effective than doing nothing. People did something! Maybe they'll do something else too!

Arguments like ACTUALLY TRUMP ISN'T A KING HE'S A FASCIST are ridiculous. You choose a name that attracts attention and somehow captures the imagination. When Republicans came up with GWOT do you think someone said UM BUT TERROR IS A CONCEPT NOT AN ARMY? Hell no. Precise word usage does not matter.

Announcing a CIA operation is super smart

I just learned that "bridesmaid proposal boxes" exist. Personal opinion, if you have extra money to spend on a wedding, use it on child care for guests and better food.

I hate that I'm afraid Trump's peace plan will work because then "savvy" randos will be calling him Donald the dove and similar nonsense. Nonetheless I hope it works, but it's quite likely Israel violates it on some pretense within a week. And of course the genocide is nearly complete already.

One of the things that brings me the greatest despair in authoritarianism is watching people react to state violence the way they react to domestic violence. By justifying anything and everything the perpetrators does through blaming a victim for failing to be submissive enough.

SC "lets" Lisa Cook stay at the federal reserve. I really don't like this phrasing. The attempted firing is illegal and it's not a Constitutional issue. Trump doesn't have the power to fire her, period. SC "won't" make the clearly correct decision is the correct phrasing.

Announcing the location and date of a gathering of every senior leader in the U.S. military seems extremely not smart.

Don't watch Republican events.

I will day this, the Disney Adults have proven themselves much more ready to meet this moment than any Harry Potter Adult has.

Jfc you do not need credentials and "access" to do journalism. In fact, all those things get you is bullshit and propaganda. Do actual reporting instead of standing in a room with Hegseth while he talks nonsense.

Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough

I don't mind being wrong about the Kirk shooter's motivation. But it changes nothing. Kirk was scum and the MAGAts were going to do all this anyway. Reactionaries always pretend they were forced into things they already planned and have already done.

Assuming Newsom and Pritzker both seek the Dem nomination in 2028, be ready for the barrage of fatphobic shit-throwing from off the record insiders who are actually Newsom staffers or DNC players.

"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Charlie Kirk is, or was, a fascist shitbag and I don't care what happens, or happened, to him. Fascist shitbags should be afraid to appear in public. In a functioning society they would be made irrelevant, not invited to campus. The left can't be the people who get shot but never fight back.

Fuck Charlie Kirk obviously

Resigning in protest is just giving up power. Only exception is if your resignation makes it impossible to do something you're against, which is very rarely the case. You're not Tony Stark, you can and will be replaced with someone terrible. Stay and fight.

Based on my unscientific observations of Internet, the pettiest and most fragile people in the world are foodies, personal trainers, backpackers, climbers, and Knight Rider fans. The least are cigarette smokers, strongmen, and BJJ hobbyists.

Had to leave the Knight Rider subreddit due to an expanding freakout over the upcoming reboot/sequel series. Will the new lead look like Hasselhoff?? Will KITT be a trans am?? WHO CARES Fan service is out of control. Just make a good show. Long-time fans are owed nothing.

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

I last attended a school 25 years ago. Nonetheless I still feel sick and afraid the first week of school. I feel so sorry for the kids. I don't even like walking onto a college campus.

Tom Clancy's Our Bodies Ourselves

For once there's a benefit to being fat and depressed

If everything Trump does is a "distraction," then what are those things distracting us from? All the "distractions" undermine democracy and threaten human life. Maybe all the DC Dems need to start on amphetamines.

Trump is actually running the country like a business. No long-term planning, no accountability for management, rule by fear, arbitrary orders given and dissension punished. Exactly what leftists have always said would happen if anyone attempted this.

I'm suspicious of any workout program that doesn't have videos of their classes online. I mean actual videos of the actual classes so I can see wtf it is. It's bad marketing AND it's culty.

I bought The Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter. I looked for the inevitable chapter where it says to go hungry and there it is. I was like fuck this I'm returning it. But does this mean I should read it since I already hate it? I think I'll read it so I can ask If Books Could Kill to do an episode.
