Dawg it's a choice right now to be clearing your throat from the back of the room like "I'm sure some of these people just didn't know it was that type of party"
I feel like someone’s gotta say something, so I guess it’s going to be me. I’m 100% certain that I either know, have met, or have sought meetings with people who have done horrible things in their lives, too. How about y’all? Association is not causation, and it's not guilt — of anything. (1/8)

It's been fun seeing The Consultants lose their mind about how they don't get this ad, which is the coolest shit she's done yet.

(Also, yes, that's Matt Mercer, who I've come to learn since this ad dropped is more famous than Michael Jordan.)

On this day in 1964, a Black man named Louis Allen was ambushed and killed in Liberty, Mississippi. Mr. Allen had suffered violence, intimidation, and threats since providing evidence against a white man for killing a local Black activist.

I wonder if the New York Times will go after any of the prominent academics in the Epstein files for being rapists as hard as they went after Claudine Gay for being kind of sloppy with citations in her graduate thesis.

If not, why not?
Here’s Duke behavioral economist Dan Ariely asking Jeffrey Epstein for “the name and email of the redhead that was here with you.” This is four years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.

I’m old and have a lot less at stake than many people. If I get arrested, I won’t lose my pension. If I get shot, I’ll lose 10-20 years of arthritis getting worse and worse. I have no reason not to rouse a little rabble.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

Senators and staffers will swear to you up and down they can’t do hardcore obstruction or that they tried once and no one cared.

In reality, they can, but it’s hard work and if they’re successful Republicans might change the rules on them to which I say, cool, make them do that.
The "oh they are a minority, they can't do anything" excuse is completely absurd when applies to the United States of America.

Our Senate is one of the most singularly, and infamously, powerful counter-majoritarian bodies on the planet. A single senator can halt all business and force debate!

Yeah but what if the Melania movie was called Seven Samurai instead? And then when you went to see it they just showed you Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 masterpiece Seven Samurai? I bet you liberals would *love* it then. Typical.

Again Will is a left wing civil rights lawyer whose worst sin is stubbornness and whose greatest virtue is also stubbornness. That he has been transformed into a demon in the minds of losers is evidence of how pathetically inadequate their vision of actual wickedness is.

Noam Chomsky and Stephen Pinker say Epstein was an intellectual force with a mind like steel trap and then his e-mails read like the ending of Flowers for Algernon.
