Voltaireon - 5 caustic French philosophers in a trenchcoat

It defies parody, but it’s also an expansion of blame for “every bad thing” to undocumented migrants. This is straight-up Dolchstoßlegende shit, trying to build hostility against a specific group to justify atrocities.
this defies parody. also helps explain why Sec Bessent bizarrely blamed immigrants when confronted with a question about high beef prices

Admitted, I’m not a professional Economist, but it seems to me that we’re back in a phase like the runup to 2008, not just with the speculative structured investments, but in the underlying reason for those proliferating: malaise in the consumer economy, leading to searches for financial vehicles…

He was a remorseful time-traveling J.D. Vance from the future and I will not be answering any questions, thank you.
James Donald Vance Jr., 67, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, was sentenced on Monday to two years in prison in connection with threats made against the vice president and President Trump on social media.

This is a wonderful piece on its own, but as you're enjoying it, remember that government does this! They manage stormwater and research how to do it better! They help improve our safety and quality of life, and people spend their CAREERS on this!

This is government communication at its best.
just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management.

remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.
What Tom Holland’s historic lip-sync showcase taught us about stormwater management

Cold, windy, rainy November day?

Nothing like having a bout of intense Ozempic nausea in the middle of a Teams meeting I’m running with a client.

I was able to get the camera/mic off and “BRB” in chat before I charged to the bathroom, but it was a near thing…

Everyone's allowed one conspiracy theory, and mine is that the "edible Pop-Tart mascots competing to be eaten" weirdness is a secret partnership with the government to prepare us for a future of cannibalism and Soylent green.
BREAKING: We’re getting six (!) edible mascots at this year’s @poptartsbowl.com!

- six edible mascots, three on Team Sprinkles and three on Team Swirls

- fans get to vote on which mascot team to sacrifice to Mouth Heaven at game’s end, the biggest edible mascot sacrifice EVER

November days that are rainy and blustery, with a high of 45 and wins gusting to 20mph, should be spent in bed or on a couch, under a blanket, reading a nice book.

Just imagine me reading through this thread starting out giggling and by the end I'm shrieking with laughter through a throat full of blood.

Perfect True Poaster energy, no notes.
First off, my suspension has ended. Got a little harsh with a post a few days ago but I didn’t have my feet on the ground and I’m sorry if I offended anyone. Will try to be more chipper. Knock on wood!

It’s like a Zen koan for self-obsessed idiots. “When is a brainworm not a brainworm?”
but at least I did not have to worry about the
worm that was not a worm in his brain.

It’s worth reading the excerpts in this thread, because my God I’d have to break out Roget to get enough superlatives to describe how vacuous, self-absorbed, florid, bloated, purple, circuitous, incoherent, etc. Nuzzi’s writing is.

Important news, @faineg.bsky.social, this is sold not just as a sticker, but a MAGNET. You can put it on the car during the FitzDays, and on your fridge the rest of the time. Nobody could object to that!

I know this is way down the list of offenses since it doesn't really have a tangible impact on people, but FOR FUCK'S SAKE, this greed elemental in the White House is just the most crassly venal piece of shit I've ever seen.

No surprise he deposited the $0.13 check from "Spy" magazine.

This is so fucking gross, and I consider it inconceivable that this public behavior of his wasn’t happening with regularity, or that it wasn’t overt enough to eventually attract the notice of people around him.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

I gotta say, having language on your website saying “Pickup available via phone all day” and then (a) not answering at all last weekend, and (b) telling me “we’re not taking online or phone carryout, you have to come here to order” at 5:45 tonight is a bold choice for a pizza place.

This week I have had to conceptualize Bill Clinton receiving oral sex to a degree that, as someone who lived through the mid-90s, I never expected to have to do again.

Hey, nice work, Gen Z, getting in on the “killing industries” trend that Millennials have been dominating. Good hustle out there!
