OK, that will be enough of that

The part about Medicare and Medicaid is the part of the whole post I disagreed with. I think the first half of my post made that pretty explicit!

Pictured: A whole lot of people who ostensibly believe healthcare is a human right when you remind them that their enemies' children are, in fact, human

Farm, highway, infrastructure money? Sure, absolutely. Medicare/Medicaid? Not sure how you square that with this post from a couple of weeks ago 🤷‍♂️

People in the replies pointing out that a world without Harry Potter would be a world without "fandom," "booktok," "dark romantasy," and "YA fiction," and I'm just here like

We are going to be paying for this colossal fuckup for a very long time, and frankly I'm not sure our society will ever fully recover from it.

Also, lmao

The answer to Avital's question is simply, "America. They came from America." That said, maybe I can start doing "I'm from a family of East Anglian immigrants" as a bit.

As the median Millennial prepares to turn 40 in just a couple of years, it's becoming even funnier to watch them imagine that nostalgia is a generational weakness of their parents and older cousins, instead of a near-universal human experience

Deeply funny to be the guy whose whole thing is "your perceptions and experience are wrong, look at this chart," then posit an explanation based on something - the constant screen time that smartphones enabled - which started halfway through the decline shown on the chart.

In which I receive funny emails at my AWS account. Yeah, sure. Fill me in on how "Allbirds" is doing.

It would be great if the anti-anti-Collins posters understood how ridiculous they sound, when they complain about Fetterman while saying the exact same dumb shit as this stroked-out genocidal freakshow

The thing to know about He-Man is that it was, of all the 1980's action figure cartoon properties, absolutely the most openly homoerotic. Prince Adam hangs out with a neurotic cat, along with Princess Teela, Ram Man, and Fisto. He lives a secret double life, periodically changing into this outfit.

This column is almost twenty years old

If you're a Sherman-posting liberal or leftist who finds the suicide reduction argument convincing as a reason to restrict gun ownership, don't look up who is the most likely by far to kill themselves with a gun, like in the JHU study I'll link in the next reply.

The Real Diamond Joe, they called him for about fifteen minutes

If I'd spent 2024 saying "my position is Harris over Trump, but I'd love to see a third-party challenge, and wrote a piece saying Harris' 'zero daylight' stance on Biden's admin is disqualifying for those who believe we should stop arming Israel," nobody would've believed I wanted Harris to win.

(I attempt to jump on the bandwagon, missing by so much that I land on a completely different wagon) Congratulations to all the happy Stevie Nicks fans on an incredible comeback!

We don't usually see each other's headers. Here's mine. QT with yours

Ugly? Yes, of course. But this republic has a long and terrible history of war-broken men with ugly souls becoming Fools for Liberty in a desperate quest for redemption, because the republic's enemies are vile beyond measure and will not be persuaded, only defeated.

For some reason every single post where you've tagged me is labeled "Rude," so perhaps you can understand why I don't click through on all of them, but I'll be sure to dig in further if I get sufficiently bored!

Presumably a reference to how Stancil's been very clear - and correct - about how you don't have to like Platner to hope that he beats Collins in the general

If you dumb bastards are going to repost this pack of lies by a career propagandist who should be in the Hague again, well, here you go

I know this is very hard for the most educated 40-year-old website to believe, but no amount of education or credentials makes people immune to being utter saps on occasion, and people who don't understand that end up experiencing it more often than most

I was curious enough to look up the firm conducting this poll, having never heard of them before, and damn, what a week it's been for people having their convictions confirmed by obvious bullshit

Pictured: 34-year-old American history and popular sovereignty enthusiast Thomas Jerome, watching as every single politician from the party of Jefferson started publicly fellating the corpse of the man who yearned for an American king

As a serious advocate of sortition for the House, I have a much better idea for the Senate than "we should just elect the richest people who successfully completed the most homework." We don't want ordinary people writing laws, but we REALLY don't want self-selected elites voting them into effect!

Because they're not Christian, according to any other Christian denomination. Frankly, the annoying thing about this list is that Jehovah's Witnesses are lumped in as a Christian denomination. Both should be acknowledged by the military, but only under "M" and "J," not "C."

Yes, and everyone who thinks this is politically possible should ask themselves why we don't even have seat belt interlocks, and why you can legally buy these online
