I feel like it’s totally okay to get together with the boys and drink some frosty ones and talk about how impressive Kate Bush is

"did you do that Nuzzi profile?"

"sure did, boss, real fuckin sexy, just like you liked"

For those who are pro book bans but only in the sense of banning “poorly written” books, if we banned said things.. then we’d never have the Twilight movies.

And that movie series is a cultural feast for the soul.

I may not care for the books, but holy shit those movies cure all that ail me.

the astonishing thing about this wave of denialism is that we have more or less decidedly hit the point where clean energy is the *cheaper* option by some distance
I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

“you sold out”
“the rent ain’t paying itself so yeah obviously”
Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Ok but billionaires “hijacking” capitalism and turning it into an oligarchy is kind of the point? The inevitable baked in conclusion?
Just because Capitalism has been hijacked by the billionaires and turned into Oligarchy doesn't mean we have to march towards Communism.
I'd rather burn Capitalism to the ground and start over again, than have Communism.

one thing thats kinda crazy to get your head around is not that the musk and thiel masters of the universe are ungrateful for the vast public infrastructure, public funding of research, and robust systems of laws and rules that made their wealth possible. it's that theyre too dumb to understand it

Eine Klein Late Night Music

Abundance adonis Ezra thought he was the Mozart of moderation, but Donald Giovanni's minions are playing him like a magic flute. And after last night's requiem for Jimmy Kimmel, we may all be descending into hell.

Incredible achievement that the one price that the Trump administration has brought down notably is "cocaine."
The Trump-Miller administration's single-minded focus on migration is starting to impact the availability of drugs in the US, according to this detail from a very good investigation @wsj.com published today.

is america ready for a vastly superior convenience store experience? when i think about my time in tokyo the first thing that comes to mind is 7-11.
The Japanese parent company of 7-Eleven is betting billions of dollars that it can expand its business in the U.S. by making its convenience stores more like the food meccas they are in Japan. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/b...
