Guest Opinion | We at the Gallup Poll are ending our 80+ year tradition of polling presidential approval so we can focus on our core mission, such as ranking the top 10 Trump golf courses and the best meme coins from World Liberty Financial.

it's so wild that people on here will label you a narcissist for controlling your replies when they are basically asserting that you should have to read whatever they want to say

It’s too late for Micah, but for others let this be a warning - go buy a hot dog first.
we made the mistake of going to costco while everyone in the family was hungry and I’m not sure we’re getting out of here with our wallets or freezer space intact

American culture of the 1840’s would have been *very fucking surprised* to see the Irish considered as co-founders.
Elon’s an ahistorical dipshit, but its always worth saying some stuff out loud: if you‘re a fellow Irish-American and you aren’t 100% pro-immigrant, you’re a fucking embarassment.

1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

When people ask for a definition of "reactionary centrist" I just point them at any Thomas Chatterton Williams article. The most uncharitable caricature could not compete with his actual writing
