Jesse Singal once accused me of being envious of all the money he makes as a hate monger and I was like, dude literally anyone can do what you do. It requires no talent, just a complete lack of shame.

Jordan Peterson critically ill with pneumonia, neuropathy, and sepsis

Jordan Peterson is sick, and suffering from "spiritual attacks" (and surely it's not the drugs, or long COVID, or a meat-only diet, or...)

These nastyass people don't lift one finger to bathe themselves nor clean their homes then revert to medieval peasant superstition when they inevitably get sick from their own filth. Spiritual attacks, indeed.

And some of the examples in this thread I hadn't seen before but you could've gotten the gist of how fucking insane Bush era right wing media was just by watching The Daily Show lol. This was not secret information, people were actively documenting it in the mainstream at the time.

It’s funny to see Olivia Reingold complain about her ex-friend who comes from “media royalty” when she herself is media royalty. Dad was NBC Asia top brass and then bought six local CBS stations. She’s a Columbia legacy, and Michael Barbaro interviewed her for a WaPo puff piece when she was 10.

By Michael Barbaro
Celia and Olivia Reingold, owners of a District-based toy company, registered for the world's biggest toy show this year, convinced they would make strong connections across the industry. With more than 80 products, their company, they reasoned, was ready to play ball with the toy business's biggest players.
The toy fair's organizers didn't see it that way.
It turns out Celia, 13, and Olivia, 10, are too young to attend. Citing a longstanding policy, organizers of American International Toy Fair said it does not allow anyone under 18 to enter the conference, which ended yesterday in New York.
The girls said they are baffled by the policy.
"I don't think it's very fair," Olivia said in an interview yesterday. "We are managing our own business."

A screengrab from a video of a very cute blonde corgi looking off its porch and making those muted “ufff” sounds that aren’t quite barks. A caption reads “BOOFING (verb) used as a warm-up when things are looking suspicious”.

This is funny to me bc boofing is also the name for ingesting drugs rectally.

when u and ur friends pass around the same $20 for rent and transition funds, the joke is how powerless u are

when tech companies pass around the same $100 billion the joke is that they hoover up enough capital to cause great depression 2

i love round tripping

cassie squeakypenis @sandy.meangirls.online · 3h

well, the case is really “let’s all pass this same $100 billion around, then all our stocks will go up” which always ends well historically

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

i'd posit the point that it doesn't matter to those that hold institutional power or are already mostly surrounded by like-minded people.

Olivia's in shock because she's not fully in the latter camp yet.

We don't have to defeat Trump. We have to defeat the systems that nurtured, created, and empowered Trump.

Many of those systems are built around the comfort of white people, cis people, and abled people, at the expense of everyone else.

I'm about to post something that will probably get me in trouble and then walk away. Men complain that they don't "feel like men" when a woman makes more than them. But being a man is not about what you get, but what you DO. Do something!

Solomon @solomonmissouri.bsky.social · 5h

and i'll do you one better ... men become uncomfortable when their partners make more than they do because they believe that their partners will financially and emotionally manipulate them ....

as they .... manipulate their partners.

Trump and Bessent clarify that they will only help out Argentina as long as Milei is in power. Trump adds that the same thing goes with NYC, where the White House will hold up funds if Mamdani wins.

My Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X review.

The top phrases running through my mind while testing it:

"Someone's getting fired for greenlighting this launch"

"This is not an Xbox"

"If this is the future of Xbox, Xbox is screwed."

Went with the middle.

This is not an Xbox

Microsoft’s first “Xbox” handhelds are shipping not fully baked.

"I have been reliably informed that the Wallet Inspector has almost completed his work and is prepared to announce his findings."

Rep Luna tweet:

My office just received word from the @RusEmbUSA
that the ambassador from Russia to the United States will be hand delivering the @GovernmentRF
’s findings on who assassinated JFK to my office.

This is a 350 page document.

We will be uploading these documents as soon as we receive them working with @jeffersonmorley
to ensure that the American people have direct access to them immediately.

It is important to note that Congress attempted to obtain these files in the 90’s and was denied. We have been given access to them now for the first time in history.
