Remind me again what Peter Theil did to make this world a better place?

Oh right, that would be…

Nothing.

To be honest, goats blood doesn’t really seem bad enough in this context. Perhaps if it were used for washing down a shit sandwich topped with arugula and shards of broken glass.
(They put arugula on everything nowadays.)

Serious question: is it that MOST presidents don’t name things after themselves, or is he, in fact, the first?

That’s a super important point. I need to order signs all the time in my line of work. The lead time is usually at least several weeks, and sometimes 6 or 8.

Well, remember, prior to undermining his own essays with unnecessary exclamation points and parenthetical asides he once suggested that what divided us were sandwiches called ‘ “Padrino” and “Pomodoro” and ingredients like soppressata, capicollo and a striata baguette.’

So, you know: David Brooks

It could be as simple as Trump believing that other people ALSO derive their opinions solely from what they see on TV and if he can get some good blowey-uppy shots and video of the smaller military getting beaten by the bigger one, everyone will fall in line.

Meaning people actually pay to see that guy?
December 10, 2025 at 5:29 PM
Which is clearly adding insult to injury for a guy who agonizes over having to go to work in the first place.

Absurd tracks!
But still, holy cow, the fact that the whole world isn’t freaking out at the set up is deeply disturbing.
Anyway, I hear you.

Does that even matter? This should bottom out in insanity before we get to that point. Even if they righted it, it just got hit by a missile! And before that, it was a small non-military boat, being tracked by the US Navy. This just drips with pure crazy; and we’re parsing details on legality.

How do these bastards go home to their children every night? And what on earth do they teach them.

We can ask that question of so many people these days.

The MAGA narrative is indecent, its compassion rings hollow, and it willfully distorts relevant context.

This all says much more about them, than if does about Jimmy Kimmel.
September 18, 2025 at 11:28 AM
If fact, Kimmel’s comments taken as a whole show him to be decent, compassionate, and able to address a situation honestly within its relevant context. His criticism was of MAGA, not Kirk, though that should be admissible as well.

Ha! It sounds like you’ve experienced the low end of the selection!

To be fair, Stamford has a reasonably good bar scene.
September 11, 2025 at 12:52 AM
Oh my god, I loved that movie.
August 16, 2025 at 12:10 AM
Every day is becomes clearer and clearer to me that I have a decided preference for Natural Intelligence.🤷

And the DOJ is your TV style crooked cop.

Is it really fear of Trump alone? That means fear of losing their jobs. And these are (mostly) people who don’t need jobs the way the rest of us do.
I have a new theory that this is more of a “smash and grab” play for the donor class.
That’s who these guys want to appease at the end of the day.
July 2, 2025 at 10:23 PM
I guess there’s never actually a GOOD time to have a blithering idiot in charge.
June 22, 2025 at 11:22 PM
It’s getting big. One toe shy of a foot!

The idea that the cost of housing is the result of a shortage of land shows either deep ignorance or brazen dishonesty. Only a small percentage of land in the U.S. is built up and most of it is used inefficiently. We could double our housing stock without encroaching on one acre of federal land.

Not to mention the real estate developer envoy, the the bag-of-hammers-dumb Secretary of State, and the Russophile DNI, all backed up by the rest of the clown-car cabinet.
June 17, 2025 at 10:39 PM
Gonna have to disagree with you there. We do NOT want them to grow up!

I think we’ve all gotten used to thinking of Trumpian incompetence and lack of discipline as working in our favor. Immaturity is right on brand.
