I have spent years of my life studying People Magazine and if this happened last year I would be floored — the magazine felt much more like an SEO farm than even a celebrity publication — but this is very much in line with *very* recent messaging

ok he died. stop emailing him when you nut
rip in advance to Scott "Mr Dilbert" Adams who is perhaps most famous for writing a now-deleted four part blog post where he attempted to hypnotize his readers into nutting and asked them to email him after they have nutted to tell him about the nut.

aaron rodgers is an incredible athlete, an all-time great quarterback who has performed in the upper echelons of the sport over a long and storied career, but I don’t like him and I want bad things to happen to him

I was reading an article about the cancellation of food aid to Minnesota, and it reminded me of a story about my dad. He was a vet, an organizer and very deeply involved in his church. And one day he stood up and asked a question: “what the f*ck’s the point of having a church?”

People who haven’t seen HAMNET really seem to hate it. People who’ve seen it seem, on average, much fonder of it.

swing voters are real, here to stay, and gigantic morons
New Gallup figures in these charts. Well, so much for that emerging Republican majority people were writing about in November 2024. Was evidently a mass overreaction to Trump's win and failure to acknowledge softness of support, and thermostatic politics www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-win...

I would like to bet a dollar that this is because the ultra-sophisticated DOGE AI flagged some phrase like "a diversity of offerings at the salad bar" in a budget.
A remote Army base in Alaska that has a key role in intercepting incoming ICBMs in the event of nuclear war says it is struggling to keep its dining facilities operating following an exodus of staff under the DOGE budget-slashing campaign led by billionaire Elon Musk.

I’m extremely skeptical at this point that state employees will get any kind of raise with this budget, but I am looking forward to the possibility of an entire year’s worth of that backpay arriving all on one check
North Carolina could remain without a new budget until at least April. Lawmakers had scheduled their first session of 2026 this week but aren't planning to hold any votes.
