I would add that no one has ever worn jeans better, before or since.

watching the first BEVERLY HILLS COP and it is always shocking to remember that eddie murphy was 22 when he filmed this. the guy acts on screen like he’s never not been a movie star. it’s extraordinary.

if you post bad takes you should not get to have a swimming pool

peacock shocked to find out about the existence of eritrea, as if any american can locate slovenia on a map

this guy got fired for smacking his gf around.

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

I guess Bidens age doesn't matter that much to me cause I don't think US Presidents do nearly as much as the myth likes to tell. Reagan spent the back end of his run with Alzheimers, last guy played golf & shitposted for 4 years, idc if Bidens an ent who speaks once a yr, taking it over Project 2025

Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

the thing that will unite left and right is how much everyone hates the new york times.

TRUMP: I am going to drop daisy-cutter bombs on Seattle just cuz BIDEN: I'll have the Bob Salad — ha, COBB Salad, whoops. NYT: Biden's Gaffe Sends Shockwaves Through Democratic Party; Trump Pledges Infrastructure Changes to Northwest

what are we doing here? he accidentally said million instead of billion and then immediately knew it and corrected himself. he didn’t “flub a line” and then “make an effort to correct himself,” he did the speaking equivalent of a typo that you know you’ve made and instantly correct

chomping at the bit for a list like this, but only of books *not* published (or not first published) by the big five.

Today, the NYT announced that they will be publishing their 100 Best Books of the 21st Century in batches from July 8-12. Curious what people who study contemporary literature would bet on making the list before it's published. My bets below…  www.nytimes.com/2024/07/05/b... 1/7

Sign Up to Learn the Best Books of the 21st Centurywww.nytimes.com Starting on July 8, we’ll unveil a list of 100. Make sure you’re among the first to find out.

Not to be corny but I do think the ongoing aspiration to make America a pluralist democracy of equals is righteous, beautiful, and worth honoring, even if it has more often been the struggle of minorities & dissenters than the policy of the government. 🇺🇸

the worst possible biden outcomes, on every issue, are light years better than the best trump outcome and reagan had full-on alzheimers who cares

this was not the week in american history to watch the act of killing

"The Bernie Bros and K-Hive appear to be forming an alliance," I say at the 4th of July cookout. An anvil falls out of the sky directly onto my person, killing me instantly. God appears through the clouds. "I did that," he says. Family and friends applaud politely.

Hi everyone! One *extremely meaningful* thing you can do to fight back is to join library boards. Usually this is an appointed position, not elected. The time commitment for most public library board members is 1-2 hours monthly. I'm a former library director. Ask me anything.

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.
