One of the only political choices that is left to you in this rat hole of a country is to not be as stupid as they all think you are

Also crazy to think that he beat a hundred and fifty motherfuckers on that run. That's, like, ten basketball teams worth of people whose dream to be on JEOPARDY! came true only to get completely fucking lawnmowered by the same dude

We're watching the original Ken Jennings run on JEOPARDY! and it's hilarious how much they underestimated how completely dominant he would become, at one point about eight wins in Alex says "He might be around for ten games, or twenty, or maybe even thirty" and, like, you're not even half right

If you can trust anyone to sort out the mess in Gaza, it's four Israel hawks

New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).

If you're interested in Columbo, I've finished posting the Tumblr notes from our old podcast, Just One More Thing, covering the first two TV movies and the first season -- Prescription: Murder through Blueprint for Murder. That's a lot of murder! There are also links to the relevant podcast episodes

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Today on IMMORTAL SCIENCE: With the Trump administration threatening to bully leftists the way they do Venezuelan fishermen, I put down some thoughts about my history of violence, and what we might need to be prepared to do to defend ourselves. For entertainment purposes only!
