Incredible trolling over on Twitter where someone put up a clip of Deadpool & Wolverine fighting from the movie and said it was AI-generated and that “Hollywood’s days were numbered” and is now being screamed at by everyone, I am legit impressed and jealous

Bondi is clearly going through menopause. “…mood changes and "brain fog," often begin during perimenopause (mid-40s to early 50s) - along with irrational moods and temper tantrums

The elites now either go the Elon route and act like people losing their jobs is a big fucking joke, with a sick glee, or they do it the Bezos/Lewis way. None of them have the stones to do it to a person's face. Sickening.
I've written about the overarching post story, causes, underlying pattern. But the failure of Lewis or Bezos to even show up, literally or figuratively, on a day of devastating cuts epitomizes the profound lack of character and accountability that is so common place today within the American elite.

This J. Cole album is like an Easter Egg Hunt of homages for rap-loving elder millennials.

The best way to understand Trump's cabinet is not as a team of people with specific jobs and responsibilities but as a motley crew of rapid-response, replacement-level PR flaks with different titles as a treat.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

All college Republicans to GITMO until we sort this all out
University of Illinois college republicans advocate for executing protesters as “traitors” with art that takes a disturbing killing and makes it even more extreme.

As liberals, I'm increasingly of the opinion that we need to get back to placing responsibility back on the level of the individual while acknowledging systemic problems. It can't all be systems, all the time.

There's nothing wrong with take-out - or delivery! - but it's gotten insane and ruinous for people who think they're financially stretched when in fact they're doing it to themselves with a service that only recently came into being.
We get pizza on Thursday nigh. Our only take-out meal of the week. Including making our lunches for work! (Leftovers or turkey burgers we make and keep in the freezer)We also pick up our pizza since it's 15 minutes away and is our favorite pizza!! We've literally never used a food delivery service.

I have had many boomers try to hit me with some random Kennedy gossip (or could even be true!) and they don't know what to do when I tell them I don't give a shit about the Kennedy family.
It's impossible for someone who sees everything as a team sport to process the idea of someone who doesn't. One time I was talking shit about Ben Shapiro to a fan and he tried to hit me with Cenk Uygur being a genocide denier and was completely unprepared for me to not give a fuck about Cenk Uygur

I'm sure it will be available soon but given magistrate judges, district court judges, & the appeals court all said the U.S. couldn't arrest Don Lemon I'm curious exactly how they acquired an arrest warrant
