Garth Brooks, “Friends in Low Places”
Fuck your favourite song. Tell me your least favourite song. The one that makes you die inside the moment you hear the first 3 seconds.

It's wild to me that, even before all this, we had on record Bannon saying something along the lines of "we're going to use gamergate to turn kids into Nazis" and barely anyone flinched

Is it just me or does it feel like the 'ushers' are on a hair trigger of late, lunging in front of the cameras to rescue Trump whenever he starts doing a dementia.
Trump can be heard still complaining about Kaitlan Collins not smiling as reporters are ushers out of the Oval Office

Everyone doing Opsec Discourse should read this book and realize that the radical underground movements of the 1960s and 70s should not serve as role models for 2020s activism, no matter how cool and badass they appear in hindsight.

Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

You should be ashamed of yourself if you’re still defending Noam Chomsky in 2026. Discard him in the regrettable dustbin of history where he belongs.

You got to hand it to old Noam, buddying up with two billionaires while playing a tankie revolutionary in public.

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

For too long the media has lost trust with the average American, we’ve prioritized the voices of elites at the expense of the working man. So please, once again, we must support this weird Epstein files freak I hired.

The Montreal Canadiens are playing the Minnesota Wild in Minneapolis tonight. The players have been recommended to stay in/eat at the hotel, take the team bus to the arena, and carry passports.
