One thing we really don't hammer Musk and these other "defenders of western civilization/culture" on enough is that this thing they're so precious about protecting doesn't really exist (or rather, only exists if its sole component is skin color).

I'm sorry, is this telling me that we somehow had chocolate/chocolate syrup spiked with... Viagra?! Going to have to actually research this, because it both seems really unlikely and exactly the kind of shit that would happen under this regime. Poe's law-ass reality we're living in

Royce White might need to start looking at overseas leagues instead of trolling the WNBA, because he's eventually going to need a job, and it's clear he's a juiceless loser as a politician (which makes sense, since it seems his only move is badly performed culture war vice signaling).

Anyway, this was fun. Keep me posted if we find out Donald some the trophy; if not, we'll see y'all for Arsenal v. Coventry

also, i'm sorry, but if argentina play 120 minutes of a match with the best player of all time and fail to record a shot, they should be required to forfeit rather than go to penalties

Probably the least relevant part of last night, but as a dedicated hater of his I have to point out that Donald's speech makes it even more clear how much him admitting in private to Bill Maher that he lost in 2020 means nothing, and that Bill was a gullible rube for thinking otherwise

This World Cup format is in desperate need of something akin to a Wild Card standings (or better yet, a Playoff Machine). Like, they're telling me that Ecuador is through with this win, but I had to do like 20 minutes of looking back and forth between the standings and schedule to understand why.

After watching this game down the stretch, I'm buying all the "Wemby is a lanky French Embiid" stock you can sell me. MVP-caliber talent, but what can he do offensively to win you a tight playoff game late?

Given last night's result, I don't know what outcome is funnier going forward: 1. The Knicks win in five, having only lost the game the President attended; or 2. The Spurs win in six, the President having so thoroughly destroyed the Knicks' good vibes that they never recover. A true conundrum.

Wild to think that she was basically the consensus Most Beautiful Woman in the World at this point in time, but if she was coming up in the modern day there'd be a sizeable group of chuds obsessed with "transvestigating" her because she had the audacity to have cheekbones and a jawline.

Fun game: pick nine acts that you know hate the President and would make a much better concert list. My nine: - Bruce Springsteen - Neil Young - Taylor Swift - Green Day/Billie Joe Armstrong - Eminem - Rage Against the Machine/Tom Morello - Jack White - U2/Bono - REM

I'm very interested in finding out if a blue tsunami would force MAGA folks to realize the bubble they're living in. Like, if they lose the Texas Senate seat, do they realize everyone outside of their unfortunately sizable cult kind of hates them right now, or do they chalk it up to fraud?

Given the case in front of the Supreme Court today, I want to make one thing clear: the 14th Amendment is blindingly clear in its language and intent regardless of your lens of interpretation. If you don't want a government that has it, you should find a new country. I hear Hungary might be for you.

I wonder if the fascist chuds of our great-grandchildren's generation will try to do the "actually, Hitler was left wing" thing with Donald and point to, like, the proposed $1k accounts for citizen children as "proof" he was actually a socialist

A thing I think about a fair bit now: would the country/world have been better off if Donald had won in 2020? I think it's a tough hypothetical: on the one hand, COVID would have gone much worse, with way more deaths as he sacrificed our old and vulnerable at the altar of the economy.

A complicated thought I have: what we are doing in Iran is obviously bad, dumb, and illegal (AKA "The Donald Special"), but I actually don't disagree with the idea that were we (or any other nation) ever in a legitimate war, "decapitation strikes" on the leadership of the opposition should be the

One thing I'd advise to folks: get people you know on the right to take stock of how they feel about this war right now. Right wing media has absolutely been doing some Iran bashing as part of their general islamophobia bit, but there was very little in the way of actual consent manufacturing.

It's telling that they named this operation "Epic Fury." No "Iraqi Freedom"-style lie about doing this for the Iranian people; just "we're mad and so we're gonna blow shit up" (and in this case, the "we" here is honestly as much Israel as it is the US).

A thing I keep thinking about: I think right wing media has cooked the brains of those who've been immersed in it so thoroughly that to a lot of them, Donald is basically GW Bush: a funny kinda dumb guy they'd want to hang out with, but who those pinko leftists they don't like insist is a fascist.

I think part of why this administration has been surprised by the resistance they've faced here in Minneapolis and elsewhere is that as much as they are absolutely trying to impose their vision on the country with force, they are nevertheless susceptible to believing their own propaganda.
