It's worth remembering that tacky Vegas Strip art is legit the best they can do. They want these installments to inspire awe at their power and majesty, and this is what they came up with.

It's like he was writing an illustrated children's book but then forgot it was for kids partway through. "To the bar goes a truck" is objectively hilarious.

Thankfully people like Mamdani and El-Sayed get it but DSA/leftists simply have to accept solid rhetorical acumen and better media training is essential to your campaign. It’s unfair, but we live in a media culture where saying Thanksgiving sucks is political suicide but genocide denial isn’t.

If this new tax even applies to a RETIRED DIPLOMAT who lives in PARIS and inherited a Greenwich Village townhose that had just had a yearslong multi-million dollar renovation... who WON'T they tax?!

OK but we definitely don't need dark sarcasm in the classroom. He's still making some points.

Honestly not sure the first R rated movie I saw in any format, but theatrically, it was for sure 1990's DIE HARD 2.

Bill Murray would be totally awesome if you felt confident that he would actually show up and try his best, but I feel like there's a strong possibility he would either not show up or do a bad job.

Yeah, I really do think we should intervene and stop this. The "oh but it's a points system, like a video game!" thing is obviously a distraction. Meta wants to teach young people how to gamble, and then connect their platform with Kalshi or Polymarket, who will gladly take your money.

It's crass, sure, but I can only get so upset about President Crimes doing dirt bikes and backyard wrestling at the White House. As his Crimes go, this one is mostly victimless. I guess I just don't have a lot of patriotic zeal around monuments or landmarks or whatever.

I love eating meat but this argument is extremely stupid. He explicitly compares banning meat ads to banning cigarette ads, which we do in the US, then acts morally superior, like our First Amendment somehow saves us from banned ads. Get your OWN ARGUMENT STRAIGHT, man.

There’s a lady at the cruise ship bar playing piano and singing but she does like 2 minute quick versions of classics. We just heard abridged “Landslide” and now she’s doing abridged “Piano Man.” It’s kind of brilliant? Or maybe I’ve just had 3 Jack and Cokes.

She and her inner circle are wrong. Recall that when Harris was announced as The Candidate, there was a surge of positivity and momentum among Dems. It only started to drop when voters realized she had bad policy ideas and positions.

This makes it sound weird. It's not a plant, it's a pen made from an olive tree, which Pope Leo refers to as the "plant of peace." Anyway, a genuinely thoughtful gift for an important diplomat, as opposed to, say, gifting the pontiff a glass figure from the wrong sport.

I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that the mind behind THE GRAY MAN and ELECTRIC STATE doesn't understand how stories function on the most basic level but... I'm still a little taken aback by how incredibly awful this future sounds.

It's deranged that the Palantir team believes a company - ANY company - gets to set this kind of agenda or decide something significant about the soul of America. That's up to the American people, Alex! This is the product of a kind of delusional megalomania.

I personally believe the best way to make good art is to get a regular non-art job that locks in the essentials (a place to stay, food, etc.) but still leaves you a least a bit of time for creativity. Doing art professionally is so hard, you end up fixating on income and/or burning yourself out.
