You have to make allowances for the fact that everything we're seeing tonight is real.

Very occasional updates at blog.particleman.org.

Absolutely cannot wait to bust down the doors for a drink made by a company whose unionized workers are on strike in a store that doesn’t want to hire minorities anymore.
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.

The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

To paraphrase Ben Franklin, MTG running for President is a sign that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
MTG is absolutely running for President and everything she does should be viewed in that light
I'm not entirely unconvinced that MTG isn't also platforming for a presidential run on her current "sorry not sorry" tour.

We should seize the assets of all billionaires, put them in a mutual fund, and issue equal shares to every American.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

“I want to do ‘Deep Play: Notes On The Balinese Cockfight,’, only for bottle service.”

Does anyone have even a slightly credible theory that can explain why he pardoned George Santos?

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

I've long felt that if the Trump administration fucked things up badly enough the people who actually own everything would step in and stop it. I just have been assuming that "stop it" means "stop the administration," which is not the only way for them to achieve their objective.

In case you were wondering how weird this timeline is, this is a real (and important) headline in the New York Times:

As a white man, I hate AI for appropriating my culture of being confidently wrong about things while using Reddit as a primary source.

"It may be said that fascism is the act of placing the petty bourgeoisie at the disposal of its most bitter enemies. In this way, big capital ruins the middle classes and then, with the help of hired fascist demagogues, incites the despairing petty bourgeoisie against the worker."

Note: In mice.
GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

I've been dreaming of Lairmore's testimony since the moment of the arrest, and it hasn't disappointed. For the rest of his life, Lairmore is going to be the guy who lied about the exploding sandwich.

When Ray Decerega elbowed Obama in the mouth during a basketball game, which required Obama to get 12 stitches, Obama sent him a framed photograph of the incident because Decerega felt so bad about it.

When Dick Cheney shot Harry Whittington in the face, he made Whittington apologize.

This eerily accurate Elon impression from @jadomian.bsky.social impressed the crowds at SXSW and our panel. Don't break this one out at the party, though. Someone might mistake you for the real thing and puke. #TeslaTakedownAwards #TeslaTakedown

The contempt these fucking Nazis have for the rule of law.
Border Patrol Chief Bovino exited the federal courthouse in Chicago today, facing questions over his use of tear gas in communities despite a federal ban without justification. Before leaving, he stood in the truck doorway, fist-pumped, and then placed a CS grenade on the dashboard.

In case you're wondering what the deal is with the woman that Donald Trump recently released from prison, this is well worth a listen:

Both have the quality of total commitment to the bit without a clear idea of what the bit actually _is_.

Ben Gazarra gives one of his greatest performances even though nothing he does or says makes any sense. He just knows he's a villain in this movie, and by god he's going to hold his end up.
not really how i engage with art, but I firmly believe both ZARDOZ and ROAD HOUSE are Good, Actually

This was reworked into Cheers as Sam Malone saying, "I could tell right away you were the kind of chick who dug sincerity."
Like George Burns said: "The key to success is sincerity. If you can fake that, you've got it made,"
