Paul Verhoeven undefeated in creating a movie that flies right over the heads of the people it’s making fun of
Rightwing influencers are so bad at interpreting source material that they can only do it correctly by accident, when they're trying to make a joke

Today would be a great day for Donald Trump to stroke out while taking a crap, J.D. Vance to sever his dick with his zipper, and Stephen Miller to fall into an open manhole. If you can dream it, it can happen.

Should they have cared about all this before now? Yes.

Did you reach the right position before them? Sure, here's a gold star.

Do we need their numbers to make this work? Yes. Please stop acting like the hipster who knew about this band before anyone else. We actually do need the normies.

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

I know this is a bold stance in America, but I simply do not believe we should be declaring war on another country for “stealing our oil” when the oil is, in fact, under the ground of that other country

I think people in every city of decent size should identify an area where we're all gonna meet for the drunken celebration when Trump kicks it. I don't want to waste valuable grave-dancing time trying to figure out if I should head up to campus or downtown or whatever. Wanna get right to it.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.

If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

Listening to the Sonny Rollins episode of the Late Set and @natechinen.bsky.social pointing out Sonny’s wit and humor makes me wish I could be a fly on the wall for the banter when he toured with Paul Desmond on the Jazz for Moderns tour.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Holy shit Chuck Schumer just went OFF about Noem’s actions:

“Are the Democrats weak & behind the times? Does Macy’s tell from Gimbels? I’ve written a terse letter and as soon as we mimeograph a million copies everyone’s gonna wake up tomorrow and find one rolled up in their milk delivery!”
