President Dwayne Mountain Dew Camacho would never do this.

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

The US is not about to have a free and fair election. The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor the ruling party in multiple ways. It's a mostly free, somewhat unfair election. But still one where the ruling party can be overwhelmed by numbers. Hence the term "competitive authoritarianism."

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

If my entire public image revolved around my toxic masculinity and toughness, I'd probably refrain from having my lawyer issue a statement saying my tummy hurts from icky sink water.

Fraud hotline, hmm? Hey I can never remember how many Trump sons there are. Is it 3? 2?

If you name your kids Tommy and Timmy, I'm going to assume you see one as the real kid and the other as kind of a walking organ refrigerator of spare parts.

I didn't realize it, but I've been on a little bit of a behavior in policymaking kick lately. news.bloombergtax.com/tax-insights...

Whenever I introduce Loper Bright in class, I stumble and struggle to find a gender-neutral alternative to "fishermen." Students will attest I invariably end on "fisherpeople" to many giggles. One quarter it was "the boat people." Today, fisherthon is born.

As a college sports non-enjoyer, let me tell you the stuff you folks yell at your teams is baffling to outsiders. It feels like a long prank. "Hem the drapes!"

1. Don't threaten me with a good time. 2. Let them sell some of their stake. 3. Don't threaten me with a good time.

The "threat to democracy" juice runs low when you realize they see everyone with a view even slightly different than their own as the enemy. Nazis, wealth tax proponents, and people that would limit the number of stone fireplaces you can have are all equal threats.

I know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards.

I am normal, I don't hang out with platforms and people that sell child porn. That's who I was ten years ago; that's who I've stayed. That's *the big things*. It is the people who have stayed on Twitter who have changed, and who have not realized it. They embrace the dumpster fire, and can't see it.

Hey folks Twitter/X is cool now. And now, at this time, right now, you should definitely reinvest in it and spend more time there. Sincerely, Nole Ksum www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Maybe the obvious answer is obvious, but what do these people that jump into animal enclosures at the zoo want?

These "I'm going back to Twitter" pieces are perhaps the most embarrassing content ever written.

I continue to think making *the box you will use* a quasi-anthropic mascot for Cologuard is one of those boardroom ideas that I just can’t fathom 1) pitching and 2) getting approved.

I’m going to just start calling balks in everyday life. What the hell, no one can refute it.

If you watch a live-streamed execution, you either emerge more of an opponent of the death penalty or an individual capable of more violence than before. There is no third option. Extrapolate that out to a mass audience and there are going to be some ... effects.

ICE has detained more than 500 U.S. citizens.

so you think it would be funny if during my misogyny podcast my chair flipped backwards and my feet flew up in the air sending my favorite slippers into the ceiling fan and I got so jostled I swallowed my cigar and threw up a little on my new suit and track pants that’d be a knee slapper for you huh

"Do you hear me Eileen? Huh? Don't hang up on me. Jesus told me he jumps when the smoke alarm chirps too, Eileen. So when your dad makes fun of me at dinner he is making fun of Jesus too, how do you like that? Hello?"

This guy is absolutely screaming "I'm under 6 feet tall" to a national audience. Turns out Jesus also needs the crust cut off and runs from spiders. So...

The staggering amount of "and to think, he could have hurt other people too" in this article is mortifying. The kind of response one might have to dingbat kids throwing a mannequin into traffic rather than, you know, a person left hopeless by this administration losing their life.

Really takes a hard turn at the end there.

What a stupid way to lose game 1.
