We have to think about collapsing Trump poll numbers and Rs turning on him the same way we'd think about finally being able to corner a rabid raccoon in your garage. Good news: he's out of options. Bad news: he's a rabid raccoon.

fuck i just realized my wife has never disavowed the muslim brotherhood

The thing about Jan Crawford’s “diatribe” and CNN’s “heated” is, we all could see the whole exchange with our own eyes, but it suggests they’ve fucked up a lot of coverage of things we couldn’t see.

These mainstream media companies truly believe that because no one on the right trusts them they need to make it so that no one on the left trusts them either

Given the news that Meta throttled Lula in Brazil and stories like this one below every Dem state legislature should open an investigation into whether the platforms have attempted to influence elections in their states.

Just watched Class of Nuke ‘Em High and reading some of the reviews online it’s clear to me that straight men do not know what “camp” is

At a show at a pizza place and I’m definitely feeling Bluesky age

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

In light of Ella Langley discourse I decided to check out Apple Music’s Global Top 100, and I saw that Justin Bieber’s Beauty and a Beat is number 18 and The Weeknd’s Wicked Games is number 25. Is it suddenly my freshman year of college again?

I want everyone to know that I have known about Choosing Texas for months now

Pretty bold of Taylor Swift to start her new song with “on a train back to Cleveland and I’m jumping the gun”

It’s so funny for this discourse to hit Bluesky a week after it already happened everywhere else

This dude says he doesn’t remember his own zip code or phone number and Ezra Klein’s instinct is to flatter him by saying he’s a “big reader”

Chanty Beluga has been arrested for the murder of Tilly Norwood

We need a massive project to improve the visual and audio quality of music videos uploaded to YouTube 20 years ago

Deone Walker tonight

As a former metalcore kid whose first shows were Earth Wind & Fire and the Doobie Brothers this Turnstile/Thundercat show I’m at is fucking hitting

I LOVE Bionicle porn!

Someone should ask James Talerico (or any of these politicians pivoting towards transgender sports bans) if Miles Garrett should be banned from playing football because it isn’t fair to the other players

No starker example of the media having different rules for each political party. If the press treated Elon Musk like Hasan Piker, every Republican in America would be forced to answer questions about why their party's biggest donor espouses anti-semitic race science.

I personally think we should be keeping Johnny Depp as far away from any “gray areas” as possible

Never thought I would be rage deleting Google Maps of all things

there are a lot of revealing parts of this exchange but "You are exactly one of about 20 people who think that's what the term means" is the top one for me

Addendum to all of this: If someone claims to be a player on the San Francisco 49ers, your next question should be what his current injury is and how long he expects to be out

As someone from Rochester I feel like if you at any point refer to Lake Ontario as “Lake America” I should get to smack you

Something uniquely apocalyptic and destabilizing about being shown snuff films of people dying in a catastrophic flood of water next to posts about the president renaming the body of water I grew up by in a fit of jingoistic pissantry

zero bad bitches hitting my line this week..mercury must be in gatorade 🤣 ⓘ 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 All Gatorade beverages have been within acceptable mercury levels since the US Food and Drug Administration reclassed Gatorade as seafood in August 2015.

sometimes i think we're all riffing on something funny only to find out other people involved are sincerely, extremely mad

Real jobs include podcaster and elected official of a state legislature that’s in session 12 weeks a year

Trying to think of the last time there was a genuinely new sound in music and the most recent thing I can think of is SOPHIE and the PC Music tracks in 2014/15

Gotta hand it to Phoebe, I never expected to hear Justin from Godflesh and Mike from American Football play guitar together on a song about being in love with Bo Burnham

got my annual review and my boss just said “post better”???

Plenty to reflect about re: the Arday affair, but I'm going to repeat this one thing. The playbook the right used here is effective even though it's not especially sophisticated, as it relies on the audience to do the dirty work. I've been calling it "Trojan horse propaganda", let's go with that. 1/

I like Phoebe Bridgers

Gm

Warner Brothers is unfairly maligning me through their unjust lawsuit against my original character “Elmer Fuck”,

Of fucking course it’s dreary and depressing on New Phoebe Bridgers Day
