I guess the time has come.
Literally why we can’t have nice things.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Shut up and take my money.

Yes please.
Let all these Epstein bros fall.
Every last one.

That would be cool.
They should make a president who can speak in complete sentences, understands concepts, and wants to decrease sex crimes and lethal arbitrary violence perpetrated by the federal government
November 12, 2025 at 5:31 PM
This is good advice. As it has been, frankly, from Day One.
So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

Matt LaFleur’s seat should be HOT hot.
Why not call timeout and get to your best play?

Also maybe don’t get absolutely destroyed upfront.
November 11, 2025 at 4:11 AM
Which is really good, especially since the ads they show in their News app are among the worst you’ll ever see.

Seriously.
Attention Democrats in the #Senate.

Do not cave.

This is is the part of the story---when you're buying a new car and the dealer gives you a low-ball offer on your trade-in.

Shut the hell up and stare back blankly. That's the only move.

Do not obey in advance.

Do NOT blow this, #ChuckSchumer

Change “letting” to “making” and I’d be more inclined to agree.

It's been a long time since Democrats got to indulge in humor that wasn't gallows humor and I'm loving it
this is an obvious overcorrection that misleads the polling data and will lead to disaster in the Heartland. the results of tonight show that the Democrats should moderate: adopting two or at most three of the five pillars of Islam
if democrats are serious about winning they need to learn from tonight and convert to islam

A lot of Very Serious People will be pretending to be confused about What This All Means as a way to avoid the simple inconvenient reality: Voters like it when candidates are kind sincere non-weirdos who are passionate about big popular ideas that will actually help real people.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

This was the clip that put Mamdani on the national stage, and it should be a lesson to every Democrat planning to run for office. Get your ass on the front lines before you ask for our votes.
Zohran Mamdani was the first mayoral candidate and Democratic official to stand up to the Trump administration over the arrest and disappearance of Mahmoud Khalil, which he saw as a violation of the First Amendment.

“Credit” where due.
I will give him this, despite talking about running for president for decades, Trump was cunning enough to wait until a time in American history when big percentage of the population couldn’t care less about naked, blatant and obscene corruption and criminality on a daily basis.

Cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
A not insignificant number of people knew the demolition was coming, including people at the White House Historical Association, and did nothing to stop it.
I see that @whitehousehistory.bsky.social put out a statement yesterday stating that they were able to complete a “comprehensive digital scanning project” to document the East Wing, and that the historic artifacts have been preserved and stored.

I mean, there must be a TON of shit in the Epstein files.
BREAKING: The entire East Wing of the White House will be demolished “within days,” according to two Trump administration officials, a significant expansion of President Trump's original stated plan.

Entirely this. Never let anyone else define your terms.
I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

There's a very funny short story to be written about a Halliburton-type exec who just wants to give Pete Hegseth millions of dollars in bribes, but Hegseth doesn't even understand that's what the guy is trying to do, much less know how to make it happen.
He's actually too dumb to be corrupt in a normal SECDEF way like getting contracts for all your industry buddies.
