General reminder that when the wrestlers in the WWF/E tried to unionize, they made the mistake of including Hogan in the discussion. He ran straight to Vince McMahon's office and ratted them out.

A leftist can hate both Trump and a mainstream Democrat. They aren't Super Democrats.

JD Vance looks like the thumbnail for a Mr. Beast video called “I paid this child to swallow 800 live bees”
Somebody inflated Glen Campbell.

I don’t understand how any progressive or leftist can think setting the precedent that donors can overrule primary voters is a good idea. Even grading on the American politics curve, myopic in the extreme.

If you get the people who can do weekly hour-long videos on FromSoft lore based just on flavor text to analyze Project 2025, it's over
On Chris Hayes podcast with Jamelle Bouie they talked about a possible reason for optimism: Project 2025 seems to have deeply penetrated TikTok. Anecdotally, my 15 yr old mentioned to me all the counselors she works with at camp have been talking about it and what rights they’re worried about losing

TWISTER is such a great movie. The good storm chasers have sensors that are balls, which are round and wholesome, and the bad storm chasers have sensors that are cubes, the most evil shape.

Still not over the fact that an early proposed physical marker to warn of buried radioactive waste was basically an early soyjak

Was wondering why I don’t see Vance’s Marine background played up much relative to his childhood and then I realized it’s because he has the worst Private Pyle vibes I’ve ever seen

Republicans play by flopping soccer rules, turning a light shin graze into a being attacked with a hammer. Democrats play ultimate frisbee rules, calling fouls on themselves for the spirit of the game.

One thing I think about a lot is how many people I follow instinctually feel something in the Internet went to shit 10 years ago, and how much nostalgia do we feel for the Internet a) before capital ruined it or b) when white dudes on SA, 4chan, Fark etc determined ""Internet Culture""

probably not the biggest issue with the decline of newspapers but i do miss a nice “movie character’s rapid rise to fame depicted via series of front page headlines spinning toward the camera as a peppy little song plays” montage

I know people overuse the phrase “we live in the dumbest possible timeline” but a presidential assassination attempt missing its intended target and instead ending a 30 year musical comedy duo is just…yeah…

To me - and I don't quite know how to say this - this study seems more like inventing reasons to justify public green space beyond being a public good. Kind of like how investment in the arts can't be a good itself, we must justify that the arts have to teach life skills or whatever

we're living through a generational, life-changing technological revolution and it's getting almost zero attention compared to AI spambots
Some nice copy here …apparently California now has batteries roughly equivalent to 5 Diablo Canyons (in capacity, not run time…)
