That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.

im a big fan of reading the canon for the opposite reason of marble statues guys. Instead of "inheriting the wisdom of the ancients" it kinda just shows you how sometimes (but not always) rlly old dead people are dumber than dogshit. There's no one steering this ship so we may as well man the helm

Nothing that people say about how reading books makes you more empathetic and compassionate is true...EXCEPT for reading one particular book in humble submission to the Holy Spirit

Also worth emphasizing to all of the dems that this is a huge vindication for anyone who voted third party if gaza was their primary issue

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

When I was in high school there was a real annoying hardcore kid who came to all the local shows so my friend started a rumor that he supported the Iraq war.

caught my vampire neighbor creeping through my front door. he claims my saying “for sure dude, we should definitely hang out sometime” the other night counts as an invitation, but I disagree. we’re on hold with the etiquette hotline

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

“Who was president in 2020?” remains one of the most pertinent questions in American politics—absurd, yes, but here we are—and that extends to “who was president January 1 - 19, 2021?”

Growing increasingly skeptical of anyone who talks about "the merging of high and low culture" as if it's a good thing

Man this smile demon is a real sonofabitch. Like a total prick

Smile 2 is quite good

Every ICE agent is a monstrous goon familiar to all of history and every neighbor protecting neighbors from ICE is braver than the troops chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

anyone else notice that the west took a turn for the worse once the concept of signaling one’s own social virtue became derogatory, almost as if cynically deriding all displays of charity and good will is indicative of a deeply cynical and nihilistic society capable of collaborating in genocide

the idea that freedom is in our DNA is just a misinterpretation of the fact that we’re a nation of finicky whiners who don’t like to be personally inconvenienced

an incontestable fact of the second trump administration is it is actively trying to sicken and kill as many americans as it can

They worship Trump so much that they’ve collectively gone “ok so he fucks kids big deal”

he also said that 80% of antifa's members are landlords and if you lower the cost of housing, you basically starve the network of its financing

Congratulations to Venezuela on winning the Nobel Peace Prize. ❤️🇻🇪

NEW: Venezuelan immigrants signed up for a Trump-promoted app called CBP Home, which promised a safe and easy way to leave the country, and prepared to leave on their given departure dates.

Those dates have come and gone.

They’re still stuck here.

Couldn’t be happier that the Nobel has gone to Laszlo Krasznahorkai. Back in 2012 I tried to astroturf a movement claiming him as the Next Big Thjng but it didn’t take off because he’s too difficult www.theguardian.com/books/2012/j...
