for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.

it’s what the People WANT
3 panel comic

Panel 1 is titled “AI Bros:”
An Ai Bro is standing in front of a TV wearing his default expression (SMUG)

Behind him on the TV is the axe scene from American Psycho where Patrick Bateman is wearing the transparent raincoat and standing next to his ridiculous stereo. Except in this image Christian Bale has been replaced by the AI Bro.

AI bro annoyingly says “People want to put themselves in movies”

Panel 2 and 3 are titled “People:”

Panel 2: 
A Blue Guy holds his phone up to a Yellow Guy and says “Hey! I’ve got a little video from that party”

Panel 3:
Yellow Guy sees himself on the phone screen and almost cringes himself into a singularity. He is blushing and squeals “Ohh my Goddd. My FACE and VOICE”

Families speak in shared dialects. Sometimes these dialects merge when people marry, but often unique words, terms, or phrases will just be universally understood by most or all of at least a nuclear family. Tell me a word, term, or phrase that’s unique to your direct or close family…

"~eEEeee~!" just say a long E musically down then up then down with a slightly goofy voice. This means "I see nudity", often in a taunting way. We'd say that rather than "haha i see your butt crack".

Ossoff and El-Sayed took different tacks tonight vs their opponents—El-Sayed was more of a subtext of “you dumb fucking racist jackass” while Ossoff’s was more “if you fell down at a gas station I’d toss a lit match on you”—and I don’t think either of those is a bad choice tbh

A drawing from this evening. What is it? Man…you know I have no idea. But it’s fun.
Art. Black and white ink pen drawing that looks a bit like a long- necked creature with trailing tentacles, shown from the neck up. The neck is long and segmented, as if you can see the vertebrae.

The creature — whom we’ll call Sealesstra — has wide open eyes that scream of innocence and curiosity. Or maybe murder.

This paragraph builds and builds the insane comedy but you're not ready for the kicker.
Atelier Missor, active since 2021, describes itself on X as a “classical foundry in Paris, on its way to building a new Rome.” Its founder, Missor Movahed Ghaleh Nouri, has claimed he was drawn to pursue classical sculpture after receiving a vision of Napoleon I while wandering the Place Vendôme in Paris. His staff wear identical tan suspenders, billowy shirts, and unkempt facial hair, and—per previous versions of their website—spent much of the first half of the 2020s producing bronze and clay busts of such figures as (of course) Napoleon, Nietzsche, and Jordan Peterson.

It's been such a long few years, I'd forgotten this particular rape accusation against Hegseth. The woman told police she may have been drugged. Hegseth, who was married to one woman and had just had a baby with another, said it was consensual but paid her $50k to settle. He was confirmed anyway.
