on the one hand, sure, the reality is way less bonkers than the thing people have been saying, on the other hand, it's been really funny watching people *almost* get why it's super fucking weird that *we* have bases in every* country

* do not correct me, i don't care

going by the decor, is this not TGI Fridays?

Someone on Twitter posted a photo of themselves doing a happy dance as they receive a hot plate of fajitas. Then "Raw Egg Nationalist" on Twitter retweets them, writing: It's incredible that these people exist, but they really do. These are the people who justify the demographic replacement of Western countries in terms of the variety of street food and how many different kinds of fried-meat-and-vegetables in flatbread they can buy.

considering that he has explicitly linked 'stopping [some unspecific] war' with his going to heaven, he absolutely is assuming that's what the peace part of the name of the prize is

yeah i was doing similar math (i don't think that 10k number refers to what she has authority over) and thought no, she has never intended to read any of them herself, and she doesn't see saying that as lying because everybody has accepted that AI is how you do stuff now

you are not going to "read all of them carefully", you are going to feed them into chatgpt, assuming you don't just pretend you never asked for this when nobody participates

You can always tell people who didn't work their way up through real jobs and manage based on the dumbest ideas they've heard of other terrible bosses doing.

i feel for this guy though. to think, finally, a way to see crime or police in media, and have it ripped away from you?

yeah exactly - i don't love 'contemporary' for both the fact that it just means 'at the same time of' and like you're saying, just becomes the new word that causes the same problem somewhere down the line

i've always had trouble with this because i know that like The Thing Called 'Modern Art' ended like 50 years ago but how else are you supposed to talk about art that is currently being made (and which at least to a layman is indistinguishable in aesthetic from Modern Art)

[Me, a poor, on the subway, glowering jealously at all those fat cat, fancy pants rich people on the public bus]

Andrew Cuomo tweet:

@ZohranKMamdani's "plan" provides no relief for working families who take the subway, and unnecessary benefits to wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus and can afford the fare.

I focus on working families, while @ZohranKMamdani the mansion boy focuses on helping the rich.
