If “the GOP’s biggest donor ever built an international child porn machine” is a little too on the nose for you, let me propose that we are on history’s nose.

This, combined with "vice signaling" (taking pride in antisocial behavior) has given us the reign of the Stupid Asshole, something most people are against, but can only be remedied if we're not too polite to talk about it
An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

This one comes from a friend of mine whose young son said about an approaching man in the grocery store: “That man has a fat belly and a fat penis!”
I think about it all the time and I wasn’t even there.

This is a phenomenal take.
Everyone has their own holiday viewing traditions. Mine is Catch Me If You Can, one of the best movies ever about loneliness — on Christmas and the other 364 days of the year.
Merry Christmas, Carl.

For all the QAnon pricks who thought this administration would root out human traffickers… I hope they’re enjoying the way these asswipes are trafficking humans they don’t like to countries they have no experience with and to prisons where they’re tortured by monsters.
“.. We need to get better at treating this like a business,” ICE acting director Todd M. Lyons said .. as efficiently as Amazon moves packages: “Like Prime, but with human beings.”

No bullshit. That is the town that I can trace my ancestry to. I still have relatives in this town. Rooted in punk. Fuck yeah.
Refused are fucking dead. The legendary Swedish punk band performed for the last time in their Umeå hometown tonight.

I think the legacy for after career that I'm gonna look back and, on the porch drinking beer, and telling the lies to my kids."

The captain on my flight just requested a sarcastic round of applause for their second-in-command, and we need a new season of The Rehearsal studying whether that kind of teasing is good or bad for flight safety.

America, you've spoken loud and clear: you do not like being stabbed in the dick with an ice pick. But what if stabbing yourself in the dick with an ice pick is the only way to fight, idk, climate change or whatever?

I'm in a punk rock community that inexplicably loves Malort so I've drank more of this shit than I care to remember. I charitably refer to it tasting like someone spilled nail polish remover in an ashtray. I had pumpkin spice Malort once, which was even goddamn worse.
Today’s That’s Marvelous newsletter is up featuring some thoughts about Judaism and community and nü-metal and Malört. Lots of umlauts this week. Read it all: www.thatsmarvelousnewsletter.com/162-malort-a...

I read that review in like 2008 at work (I didn’t have a lot to do during the downturn) and was so amused by it, I went home and watched that movie. It’s… indeed not great. But Reiner is such a real one, he took it in stride and this clip is so funny. What an absolute gem. RIP
One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

One possible flaw in Bari Weiss's plan to remake CBS News in her image is that she is a bad and boring journalist and nobody actually likes her.
Major advertisers appeared to sit out a new CBS News town hall telecast Saturday, moderated by Bari Weiss and featuring an interview with Erika Kirk.
Lack of Madison Avenue support could challenge the viability of the format, which Weiss wants to expand

It's fitting that the cover on AI mindlessly apes an earlier creation and also displaces workers while elevating Silicon Valley plutocrats.

I know this distinction is for the person (or people in this case) that made the most news this year and it's not like an award of nobility or praise. But Time can still eat a huge bag of ass for this. AI is fucking dogshit and we're all going to find out how much it sucks when it crashes soon.
