Odd Future Wolfgang Pauli

It's worth remembering that the majority of Trump's political career can be traced to Obama thoroughly roasting him in 2011

They're really overplaying their hand by repeatedly claiming that schools are now doing gender reassignment surgery. That litter box thing from a few years ago was stupid but at least that plausibly fit within the bounds of a school budget.

This kid gives me the vibe of a freshman in their intervarsity college Christian group who just read a chapter on apologetics and thinks they have a slam dunk case until they try it out on a single person not in the group

It is difficult to go on a right wing sycophant show like Hannity and still sound like wet dogshit. It reminds me of when Chaya Raichik went on Tucker and could barely speak English. Fox has always been a cesspool but it's meant for a different kind of brainworms than the extremely online right.

Say what you will about Piker, but he sticks up for Omar more than the vast majority of her congressional colleagues which is absolutely necessary at this moment

And they're not even doing it from a leftist or progressive space necessarily. Ossoff is barely left of center but he has the audacity to actually be honest about his opponents.

Maybe we could get Klob to react to this with appropriate anger and urgency if, instead of agents of the state acting on nothing but racist innuendo against a duly elected official in the state she wants to govern, we said they were interns

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

Ossoff's effectiveness comes from being an attractive normie who does not pretend to respect his opponent or have any pretense of appealing to MAGA. He'll peel off some MAGA voters but not because he's condescending to them.

You don't have to like Bill Burr or his recent performance at a certain comedy festival to notice the significance of him, as the type of guy who complains about woke millennials, being aligned with one of the most prominent woke millennials of the 2010s

AOC is the exact right age of millennial to be annoyed that she has to talk about Macklemore again

Minimalist rhythm sections are very hard to pull off, particularly when you're in a double act with a frontman who insists on being as odd as possible. The discipline and restraint is at least as impressive as any drum solo I've ever heard.

Obviously these people never cared about integrity in women's sports or whatever even in their idealized case of the league being all straight cis women with a few troublesome LGBTQ+, when the reality is that the league is about 1/3 openly queer

Although the moral panic has shifted. One of the first articles I saw pop up was about how it will lead to a "crisis in workplace productivity"

So funny watching the media try to write 2000's era Grand Theft Auto Outrage articles now that the whole country is a casino run by murderers.

Expanding the court is maybe the one issue where I think elected dems - even the most antiquated centrists - are ahead of the normies

Will Ridley Scott make another good Alien movie? Maybe. But I think my enthusiasm for another Alien project from him is less about whether it's good and more about his overall energy. I respect a man who is almost 90 and still wants to make movies about gooey penis monsters and devious androids.

Transphobia is the uniting principle of the right. Tariffs, Epstein, Iran, even ICE, these have all had some rifts, but everyone agrees on transphobia. It united the right in the early days of Biden too, before inflation took over.

This could most charitably be interpreted as a statement on vibes. She wasn't "neutral" in any meaningful sense, but she was always happy and framed her views positively, whereas most people who share her demographics and have thoughts on culture war issues are visibly miserable.

For my money, my most lasting impression of Tim Curry is as the personification of pollution in FernGully: The Last Rainforest. And maybe I'm taking the wrong message here, but I believe the point of that movie is that pollution is sexy and cool.

20 years since a still-usable Facebook, still populated mostly by elder millennial college students, became the source of countless groups about how this was the touchstone of a '90s childhood

Maybe it's because I saw the Raimi Spiderman movies while living in Minnesota but I've always thought of Spiderman as a Minnesotan. Living now in NYC, I know being from an outer borough is basically the same as being from Minnesota.

Never been a fan of the album cover but what's inside is still my gold standard for insane song structures and concepts

AI and evangelicals are equally important allies to fascism at this point, so I suspect we're going to see a lot more unhinged arguments riffing on the antichoice "potential life" framing but for chatbots

It's 2006 again, we've got an unpopular Middle East war, a looming financial crisis, and the kids are listening to TV on the Radio's "Wolf Like Me"

Me: this hotdish ain't shit Me 20 minutes later:

Right wing politicians have a much more mutualistic relationship with their influencers, and since the press accepts the right wing framing on everything else, they assume the same dynamic must exist on the left, where the relationship is usually antagonistic if it exists at all.

Drink up all the Faygo I'll make some more to spray though

People who haven't been paying attention to her do not get that transphobia isn't a side hobby of hers. It is her *entire life*.

We're living in a much dumber and less fun version of Marge vs. the Monorail. At least Lyle Lanley put some effort into selling his scam product.

I personally don't think we should be talking about her like this when she's three years too young to legally have a bluesky account

Laugh it up libs, I actually respect someone who takes up the egregious amount of extra space in a typical SUV

The idea of a Black academic being hounded to death for alleged acts of plagiarism in an era when universities are entering into contracts with AI companies and encouraging AI use among students, while Big Tech is stealing EVERYTHING humans write...

Hakeem Jeffries is not up for the job. They have got to get rid of him in January.

Everyone in the Trump administration believed a mindless show of military might would cow Iran into submission, and it did not occur to any of them that Iran understands them infinitely better than they understand Iran.

Anyone who denies that whatever we're calling "woke 1" was instrumental in electing Biden is a willfully obtuse moron. This isn't ancient history! A lot of people alive now were also alive six years ago!

Insane that AOC is being quoted as saying "Woke 1 was crazy" when this is what she actually said. youtu.be/SFwAnMLBSOw?...

Everyone assumes Hong must be gunning for squishy republican votes because that's how centrist dems run. Instead she's running an unapologetically working class campaign which, like Mamdani, will likely attract some republicans just because it's honest and not condescending.

My wife's cousin, an extremely normie midwesterner who never talks about politics, just made a fawning post about him because he is a "U of M boy." If Islamophobia is not your number one issue I think whities will get on board with the hot doctor with more midwest bonafides than Stevens.

We could get to a point where all majors except finance are eliminated and the only people allowed to attend college come from crypto dynasties and the NYT would pump out the exact same op eds about how universities are too ideologically rigid

One consistent thing about Trump is he obviously doesn't care about the Republican Party on an institutional level so he kind of gets a thrill when they take a shelling for any election in which he is not explicitly on the ballot

It's OK, I think we can trust the guys who openly talk about stocking up their apocalypse bunkers to be responsible stewards of this technology

It is kind of remarkable to see Jake Tapper actually doing his job for once

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."
