Of the two Jewish white supremacist party leaders who are key to Netanyahu's coalition, Ben Gvir is the one who is easy to recognize as a monster.

Smotrich is just as bad, but he's the soft spoken one.

They are both incredibly dangerous and were, at one time, considered fringe activists.

Cathy Engelbert thinking anyone should be grateful for this deal is, frankly, embarrassing.

Now that bluesky is back, I can attach my reaction at the time.

The difference would have been galling before viewership and general interest in the W leaped this season. It's ridiculous now. They're talking about an ELEVEN YEAR DEAL.

Reports: new NBA media deal is 76 billion dollars, WNBA getting 2.2 billion of it

If I hear one more sports journalist describe the WNBA media deal as an achievement, I may scream.

This was a deal designed to protect the NBA, and those owners of WNBA teams who are also owners of NBA teams. It grossly undervalues the W.

weird phenomenon i keep encountering where “writers” correctly identify the soul-sucking danger that large language models pose to their craft, but for some reason have no problem using generative AI to make images. like….are you stupid!!!!

I'm not trying to be a dick.

But they picked two fat republicans for a bunch of jokes when the young republicans said the worst shit imaginable.

My fat ass is out there fighting for what's right.

Stop equating fat with bad or less. Stop telling ME I'm one annoyance away from being your target.

Yeah. I've got 6 likes. The original post has... let's just say it's more.

I don't want to dunk, and I don't want to argue.

I was just surprised at the idea that Dr. Phil HAD thousands of employees. That... that's a lot of employees for an operation around one guy.

In the actual article, the fired employees number in the dozens.

Link to a rawstory article about the collapse of Dr. Phil's media company.

The skeet accompanying it, by Khashoggi's Ghost, says:

Dr. Phil went full MAGA and tried to reinvent himself as a MAGA media mogul and culture warrior. Now his world is unraveling, his media company is laying off thousands and had to file for bankruptcy, and he's being sued for fraud. The whole plan is collapsing.

Dozens of employees have been laid off as it averaged just 27,000 weekly viewers, broadcasting partnerships floundered and, in July, it filed for bankruptcy.

It's either that or confusion because the number of views, which DOES number in the thousands, is in the same sentence.

I'm delighted by his failure!

I'm just confused on how dozens of employees in the article became thousands in the skeet.

Of course I don't mind! That's why it's a standing offer that is always valid!

Now, I recommend this one a lot, but it really fits in well with your list, and I think you'll love it:

They're obviously lying about the science.

That said, they stumble into a kinda true statement:

Those penises aren't made for women. They're made for men. Because trans men are men.

Likewise, those vaginas aren't made for men. They're made for women. Because trans women are women.

This gets me every time. Clearly, y'all have never talked to a trans person about this.

Fox News host Emily Compagno claims that the backlash to Bari Weiss being named CBS News editor-in-chief is due to her being Jewish:

"This kind of thing would make me laugh if there was not an antisemitic thread in there."
