One of the things that's very difficult to really take to heart about MAGA conservatives is that you can't get them on hypocrisy about their children because they really don't give a fuck about their kids
Everyone who posts this should note that Megyn Kelly has a 14-year-old daughter. Do not let her off the hook on this.
This was always where this was headed.

This is actually a pretty perfect encapsulation of the abject media failure that got us here: a prolific sexual predator who had close connections to the country's most powerful people is "a guy" and a two-time president is just "somebody" so the things they said about each other aren't newsworthy.
The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.

I've been seeing this headline floating around. To be clear:

1) This is "No. 1" on a miniscule chart, The "Country Digital Song Sales" chart, as in people actually paying money to download country songs which is a tiny amount of people

2) The actual consumers are almost certainly fake

Afrikaren Musk being decreed into a trillionaire by his paid minions is about as serious as when my mum told me I was the most beautiful baby she'd ever seen.
Except she's never said that, she thinks another baby is the most beautiful, making her more rigorous and objective than Tesla's investors.

Similar to the Nazi group chat semi-apology responses, I think it is remarkable that the “Groyper” war is being framed pretty exclusively in terms of antisemitism, while the racism is unremarkable for them.

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Pues que quiero hacerme infame en #BlueskyÑ, así que ahí va una idea +-:
El próximo año se cumplen 10 desde que Bob Dylan ganó el Nobel de Literatura. El 2026 deberian repetir lo de dárselo a un cantautor, pero Hispano o Luso parlante. Propongo la Triple S (Serrat, Sabina, Silvio) o Chico Buarque.

Día triste para el teatro chileno, y para varias generaciones que se criaron con los personajes que entregó magistralmente en la "época dorada" de las Teleseries con temática social del Canal Público (TVN). Hasta pronto, Héctor "Tito" Noguera.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

a functional press would, every single day, repeatedly, across numerous paragraphs in every story about him, make it clear that this is indisputably the most corrupt President in U.S. history

Look, it's a team effort. But between 1994 and 2024, I didn't live in Toronto. And what happens after exactly 6 months and a couple weeks of me living in Toronto? That's right, the Blue Jays go to the World Series. #CorrelationISCausation.

Stealing paintings from a museum? Also absolutely an art form if done correctly. It requires integration of multiple skills, creativity and, funnily enough, proficiency in tech and IT stuff to hack sensors and alarm devices.

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained.

These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky.

Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.

The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education.

We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves — how to find the answers on their own.
Wow. Just wow.

"Students pay premium prices for information that AI now delivers instantly and for free. A business student can ask ChatGPT to explain supply chain optimization or generate market analysis in seconds. The traditional lecture-and-test model faces its Blockbuster moment."

This is why the inflatable costumes works so well -- it works the same way calling them "weird" or "creepy" did. It disrupts their narrative, and makes them seem pathetic rather than cool-and-cruel.

“Can you explain this gap in your resume?”

Me thinking quickly on my feet to explain the period when I worked for ICE: “I was selling drugs… ,uh, to children.”
Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

The thing about this that's worth recalling is that it *wouldn't* even offend most Americans: just the group of reactionary grifters who make money by being professionally offended online.
