2015. An old guy with a soul patch taunts a man with Buddy Holly glasses, a beanie,and a flannel shirt. The old guy says "you lazy Millennials don't wanna work." He smugly leans in and says "all you wann do is avocado toast." The Millennial shakes his skinny fists like antennas toward heaven and says "I swear to God. When I'm in my thirties, I'm gonna be more charitable to young people." It's 2025. The Millennial, 10 years older, says to his friend wearing an Animal Collective shirt "yeah, every Zoomer I've ever met is a braindead piece of shit." She nods in agreement.

New York Times headline: "Is it Time to Stop Snubbing Your Right-Wing Family?"

Above the headline a photo of the vampires from Sinners, asking to be let in. The photo has been modified with a downward-facing word balloon to create the effect that the vampires are speaking the headline.

You elect a sexual predator whose closest friend was a child rapist and you doubted he was in on the action? Now you’re surprised that he doesn’t want any new evidence of his involvement to get out? Really?

This post really made me realize how "woke" doesn't even just mean "anything non-cishet white," it literally means "anything that I perceive as being different from things I saw when I was 12 years old"

Lawyers for Luigi Mangione asked a federal court on Friday to bar prosecutors from seeking the death penalty against him, arguing that Attorney General Pam Bondi’s recently announced decision to do so was “explicitly and unapologetically political.”

a picture of oren "so smart i done thought myself stupid" case from his guest stint on cardinal ross douthat's inaugural podcast, superimposed on the old onion headline "i provide office solutions, says pitiful little man." he has a pathetic and despondent expression, like what you might expect on sam seder or john oliver's face after getting compressed a foot shorter by the trash compactor in star wars, which is more or less exactly what oren cass looks like

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
