Classic Rock is music which exists between 1964 and 1989. Regardless of how much time passes between then and now, that is classic rock. In the year 21,866, when humanity is long extinct, that will still be classic rock, everything after 2000 is modern rock, and everything in the 90's is grunge.

wrote about how Dr. Phil pivoted to wholesale MAGA punditry after leaving daytime TV to start his own company—and why his Trump friendship and ICE ride-alongs couldn't save his new venture from the bankruptcy proceedings that now have him tied up in court slate.com/business/202...

He Used to Dominate Daytime TV. Now He’s Sucking Up to Trump—and His Media Empire Is Collapsing.

When Dr. Phil signed off his talk show in 2023, he pivoted to MAGA politics. It’s not working so well for him.

I'm certainly not one of those cranks who thinks this kind of think couldn't help because it does blunt the right's fearmongering but I am a little concerned that the original point will become lost once it's just another meme.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

My mother has 2 types of cancer and wears oxygen all the time and barely gets around and is just generally miserable and getting worse by the day and whenever I see her like that I just get really annoyed at her bullshit so the lesson here is don't neglect your children because they'll remember it.

I think the leak of the incredibly racist young republican group chat only furthers the argument that millennials were the only generation able to use the computer without going insane, mostly because the computer was once a place separate from the real world. but now the real world is also computer

that a bunch of billionaires have been irreversibly brainwormed by getting addicted to a glorified chat room adds credence to my theory that spending too much time on IRC as a child acts as a powerful inoculant to the worst impulses of an escalatory group dynamic

Right he couldn't be funny if he tried to be, he's just naturally the most ridiculous human being to ever exist in this or any other universe.

It's not even because I think Dems are good people who surely would never tolerate Nazis, it's more that if you believe they're on the same side, you have to also believe they're the smartest, most diabolical party in the history of politics and I just refuse to give them that kind of credit.

Pelosi sucks but anyone who says "the Democrats are exactly like Republicans and they all love Nazis" is not a serious commentator on politics or likely anything else. So many better, frankly more infuriating things to be mad at Dems for, you don't need to make up new ones.

It's been said before but as evil and moronic as this man is, and as much as he deserves all the worst fates and more and I hope he gets them, he's just the funniest fucking guy who ever lived.

Kind of amazing that the photo Politico used of one of these folks -- the one who made a joke about gas chambers -- is from an event that Politico sponsored last summer.

You know my mom, expert of the CBS daytime lineup, recently pointed out to me that his show no longer comes on after Let's Make a Deal and I told her that maybe his empire was collapsing due to aligning himself with Nazis.

Glad to see that in fact might be in the cards, regardless of exact numbers.

"The tenuous ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war was holding Tuesday even though Israel broke the ceasefire."

Israel is seriously the Donald Trump of countries, as far as media coverage is concerned. An entire, rogue nation of Extra Specialest Boys.

The tenuous ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war was holding Tuesday even as the return of deceased hostages from Gaza progressed more slowly than Israelis had hoped and health officials in the devastated territory said the Israeli military fatally shot three Palestinians. https://to.pbs.org/4qbxJGS
