With #Bridgerton back on our screens, let's revisit a classic thread. Queen Charlotte included a scene of King George III eating pussy. So it falls upon us, dear readers, to answer the crucial question: is it historically accurate? Did King George III eat pussy?

Daughter: yeah she thought I you wouldn’t notice it

It was a tactical mistake, obviously. It really does start pointing to Trump calling in a favor. A guy who fell out with Epstein, who does a lot of stupid shit that comes back down on him later… I’m sure there are many other candidates but I get why Epstein’s brother landed on Trump

My best pure vibes evidence is that the first attempt was having a muscle bound ex-cop mass murderer try to beat Epstein to death as the dry run. Something about that is very Trumpian. That and the way Trump flippantly says “he’s dead, why does anyone care about him anymore?”

GOG did an AMA and they all but confirmed that they will continue using Gen AI.
"AI tools are one of many technologies we test and try out, and in some contexts it genuinely helps us push the company (and the mission) forward".
I mean, no way they could pay an artist like before, right?

I'm not saying we should do the french revolution, but if we do do the french revolution, someone should say "we hope you understand that this was a time for tough decisions and you shouldn't feel this reflects on you as a person..."

Yes, if we want to examine the topic of “Morgan McSweeney, Peter Mandelson and destructive, deeply dishonest and highly problematic briefing campaigns to a complicit press” then I think we can probably go back a bit further than late 2024, can’t we.

👀 Apparently, Ross Douthat invited Seth Harp to debate him on Douthat's "Interesting Times" NYT podcast. Harp says that the episode was recorded, Douthat got crushed, and RD/NYT decided not to publish it.

You can watch the frog boil from "a lack of enthusiasm doesn't help the dem candidate" to "hey wait you ARE voting for Carolyn Genocidman, right?" to "wow. You know, the classical Greek term for someone who didn't vote was 'idiot'!" to eventually "anemia for Buttigieg = a mail-in ballot for Vance"

I kind of get why centrists are just too oblivious to understand why people are put off by Newsom. But I genuinely can't fathom why someone who get so hysterical over criticisms of the creep that they declare marginalized people to be maga voters.
I'm absolutely convinced after the last two days that Democrats could put up the most capable but committee built candidate and at least the trans women in my mentions would still vote for JD Vance.

They'll tell you it's not about saving each other, it's because they can't manage their big feelings
Transsexuals are .04% of the population.The debate over their rights should not be used to hand the other
99.96% over to the GOP.
We need to nominate someone who can actually win,irrespective of ideological purity tests.

I find it so telling whenever a labour shill is espousing all the Good Things labour has done and they present a website or graphic listing them it always includes anti immigrant racism as one of these achievements right next to marginal tax reforms and banning ninja swords
Genius! Blackmail countries which have significant human rights concerns to take back people who often should not be being sent back and then celebrate it by threatening more countries with similar blackmail. Labour really is digging down with its xenophobic policies.
