Prison for all of them except JD. I think we should bring back the stocks for him. Every Thursday he gets put on public display at the national mall and you get to throw tomatoes and batteries at him. Or maybe a dunk tank!

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.

You know what's awesome about life today? Any time I discover a new band, I have to look them up and see if they're actually real human beings and not ai slop. It's so fun. Definitely helps the "good stuff is out there, you just have to look for it!" argument. The future is so cool guys.

Why would a billionaire want a functioning paper? Functioning papers cover shit like “did you know this billionaire makes his workers pee into bottles instead of taking a break” and “you pay way more tax than a guy with ten yachts”

Duplass is at least out here trying stuff. Three seasons feels like a huge stretch for this premise though. 3 movies? Sure. 2 movies and 3 seasons of a TV show? Ehhhh. Maybe it's just my anti-series bias though.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

Tariffs have rapidly increased the price of coffee—a drink with almost no nutritional value and lots of functional substitutes. Yet coffee may also be the one thing Americans can’t live without, @elcush.bsky.social writes:

Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.

Between WWE, Dr. Phil's media empire collapsing, and that bizarre attempt at a right wing late nite talk show, the far right really overplayed their hand way too early.

WWE lost the war with AEW the moment they sold to TKO. The hyper commercialization of everything without any rhyme or reason has turned fans off. Fully embracing MAGA has further alienated their audience. It's hard to see how they compete with AEW outside of nostalgia acts.
