IF you are still forced to visit MAGA family for Thanksgiving, steel yourself to tell your racist aunt "Quiet Piggy" once she starts ranting.

Give them no fucking quarter.

But seriously. Most of us do not give a fuck about either of them, and would prefer a Discover tab bereft of their names being mentioned. Keep that shit on the old app.
I am once again asking white people to handle their Nuzzi/Lizza business in the privacy of their own pumpkin spiced brunch table and leave the rest of us the fuck alone with this poorly written bullshit

Things not going to plan for Himmler, it seems.

This is going to be important to note, as going forward we can expect the flailing regime to just indict people based on nothing because they believe the optics of the indictment are enough.

Hopefully we can chain this practice to the "Kavanaugh Stop" and forever tarnish his name.
Everyone's missing potentially the most interesting thing about this order, which is the judge's finding that Halligan may have returned an indictment that was never presented to the jury

A zygote is the result of a sperm joining an egg.

‘Zygote’ comes from the Greek word for ‘yoke.’

A ‘yoke’ is a wooden beam that JOINS two animals together.

The ‘yolk’ of an egg is from the Old English word for “yellow.”

‘Yoke’ and ‘yolk’ have no relation to each other.

Their art and silverware will be next...
Such a desperately sad headline. I feel like every time politicians think of something like this, they should go through the mental exercise of replacing the words "asylum seekers" with "Jews fleeing the Nazis" and see how that resonates with their conscience.

WaPo staff always get worked up about MBS and Khashoggi (rightly so) but ONLY (seem to) get worked up about MBS and Khashoggi.

To me, it borders on being a selective, performative outrage.

Guess they never heard the quote, "You'll never get another Post-Dispatch."

There will be far more young, career-oriented professionals in a serious relationship, than actual millionaires, that will leave NYC for good over the next month and a half. And it will have nothing to do with Zohran.

Henceforth, can we please refer to her only by either of two monikers; Megyn R Kelly, or M Kelly.
The fact that Megyn Kelly minimized raping 15 year olds and wasn't immediately canceled from every platform, including @siriusxmprog.bsky.social and YouTube, tells you EVERYTHING that is wrong with right wing media and this country in general.

Someone tell Barro to create and complete a graphic novel in 6 weeks. Start to finish. By hand.

Tick tock, motherfucker...
Barro’s argument would suggest that the primary purpose of timed testing is to measure whether someone is good at taking timed tests. If it’s to measure knowledge, a time limit is fairly arbitrary

It's not. At all. They are completely separate universes, to begin with. And Pennywise died 40 years before the events of The Running Man.

Try reading a fucking book for once. GTFOH

A reminder that trying to squash the Files has nothing to do with protecting "Trump's" identity....
Meet Bubba Saulsbury, son of Odessa oil industry magnate Dick Saulsbury. Also friend to Kash Patel and JD Vance. This is who the Epstein felatio email is rumored to be referring to. Not Bill Clinton.

I've got to say I don't think the president has quite calculated the rally around the flag affect correctly of a war that no one wants and no one thinks is a good idea that will 100% cost American lives.

This little vignette reminds us all that even tho there had already been 4 (5 inc Lazenby) Bond actors and 20 films...he apparently *wasn't* a '00' until the start of the Craig arc.

Soooo....the Amazon writers just aren't up to the task.
The twenty-first #JamesBond film "CASINO ROYALE" directed by Martin Campbell, starring Daniel Craig in his first appearance as secret agent 007 with Eva Green, Mads Mikkelsen and Judi Dench, premiered at the Odeon Leicester Square in London #OnThisDay in 2006

Although many people are saying it, I do not believe our current president sucked off former president Bill Clinton on camera. I have not seen sufficient evidence that our current president gave the former president a blowie in a way that was memorialized in a photo. That's not something I believe.

Weird. Cause the ESPN app that I use to manage my fantasy football team puts a tab that links to prop bets front and center on both the landing page and my team management page.

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

Sucks for Adidas that they invested so much in the Italy kit. Maybe Kappa can pick up the scraps....
Norway's locker room was electric after they all but qualified for the World Cup 🇳🇴

Erling Haaland and friends only need to avoid a nine-goal defeat in Italy and they're in, ending a 26-year tournament drought 😅
