Comic strip frame of the philosopher Schopenhauer telling a child with a lollipop “But do you not see that the joy of the lollipop contains within itself the essence of the seeds of despair?”

Guns are a skeleton key to understanding conservatives because the things that they believe work manifestly do not work, and in fact, cause the problems, and there is absolutely no way for them to learn that and they keep doubling down

I saw this in the theater at the age of 6 (a friend’s mom took a bunch of us). It was not age-6-appropriate but I remember laughing a lot. Michael j Fox’s first movie, if I’m not mistaken.

I was googling whether you can pop out of the Ephesus site for lunch and then get back in on the same ticket in the afternoon, and the AI told me it was possible to return because St Paul visited multiple times...

Hitler tells Neville Chamberlain he'll halt war in exchange for the Sudetenland. And the rest of Czechoslovakia. And Danzig. And the rest of Poland. And Denmark. And the Low Countries. And Northern France. And...
A Wall Street Journal headline, astounding in its credulous stupidity, reading, "Putin Tells U.S. He’ll Halt War in Exchange for Eastern Ukraine

President Trump said he would meet with Putin next week in Alaska to discuss ending the war."

The most reliable way to get promoted and platformed in America is to have an unwavering commitment to being confidently wrong about everything, as long as the act of being completely wrong makes rich people richer.

There is no plan. There is no 3D chess. The president has a toddler’s understanding of the economy and will continue to just do things (and then undo them, and then do them again).

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
