I forgot about the "Blake Masters enjoyer" meme. The most school shooter-ass candidate. Lol
Hegseth complaining about Mark Kelly’s clothes is just the 2025 rehash of the “Blake Masters enjoyer” meme that everyone mocked during the campaign.
Weird freaks trying to exploit something they think normal people care about but it just makes them look more out of touch

If you view a video on mobile YouTube now allows you to “Hype” it by clicking a little icon near the likes bar. This one is having a rough time out the gate so if you could give this a hype(or 3) I would appreciate it
Gallus was acclaimed Emperor in the wake of Rome’s crushing defeat at Abritus. During his reign Rome’s omnicrisis reached an inflection point as it dealt with foreign incursions while the economy deteriorated and disease ran rampant.

Remembering how when Abrams led the effort to install Guaido and Ilhan Omar was one of the only prominent voices bringing up his disastrous record in the region people said she was only criticizing his war crimes because she was antisemitic

what makes art art is that it's the product of human intelligence. even artists who have done automated work, like tinguely, it's satire, it's the point of the work-- in fact with tinguely the art work is the machine, not the "art" it produces-- it's satire.

AI “art” enthusiasts don’t understand that the thing which makes great art evocative isn’t the ability to recreate a photorealistic scene but the ability to be inspired by the mundane to create in a novel way. This is a skill that has to be honed just as much as the actual method of creating art

Cuomo: Vote for me NYC, I will make sure we continue receiving federal funding by giving Trump everything he wants
Mamdani: I will simply bamboozle Trump by being a likable person

TAPPER: Right before the election, Trump threatened to withhold federal funding from New York City if Mamdani were elected. Was that just bluster? He doesn't mean it?

In a just world these comments would have made Nuzzi persona non grata amongst elite political media because not only do they show how unethical she is, they also demonstrate very conclusively that she is very stupid

the fact that the journos are circling the wagons like this around a writer as bad as Olivia Nuzzi is just proof that journalism is truly a terrible joke.

One of the ways you know Vance isn’t the tradcath he pretends to be is that if he honestly and truly felt that the love of his life was facing eternal damnation and conscious torment in a lake of fire he would probably be doing everything he could to convert her instead of talking to teenage Nazis
Has JD Vance done anything as VP besides go on podcasts and complain?

I genuinely don't know how to explain to liberals they're meant to consider the people under the bomber not the ones driving it in this image
I hate this sort of meme.
“The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.”
Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?

I don’t want an LLM to be able to sum up my writing though
Saw a post today that advised writers to stop writing as if a human will read it and start writing for an LLM that will be summarising.
As someone who really enjoyed trying to develop a peculiar but readable authorial voice, I find this incredibly depressing.

Still crazy to me that Wall Street financiers and business elites are content with a government that effectively nukes their ability to make accurate forecasts because they want a world where there are less women in Star Wars movies
