“If you do not believe in your skeets, no one else will” - Sheryl Skeets
Feels like there’s a real opportunity for some impresario in DC to set up an Alt-Kennedy Center and just hire all of these acts that are canceling. It’s such a no-brainer.

Yup. If Zoomers are feeling disillusioned, they need to have a sit down with their Gen X uncle or auntie, put on some NWA and Nirvana and get real real. “Okay, now we’re going to listen to the lyrics of Offspring’s ‘The Kids Aren’t Alright.’

Fair question, but it’s safe to assume it’s dishonest because if it’s just a boneheaded misinterpretation of the text, that might be an even worse look for the authors - like neither of them should be teaching in higher education, let alone at Princeton, if they can’t comprehend what they’re reading

My new app/delivery service PIPE-WEED does exactly what you’d expect.

I also think the term “inciting racial hatred” is a more effective incrimination than “hate speech.” It describes the intent. Those French and their way with words.

This is how bad faith actors try to inject harmful, odious ideas into public discourse - by “just asking questions.” For example, what’s the point of asking the question “did the holocaust actually happen?” If not in bad faith (unless you’re an actual child, of course)

More like the 2007 Mavericks. #webelieve

The way to be all of those things and somewhat successful is to be utterly shameless. Seems relevant.

As an old dude, sometimes I get Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion mixed up in my head. Just then, I had a momentary panic attack that Klay Thompson was at a TPUSA rally.

We are overwhelmed by unserious people, grifters who think life is a grift. When these people are confronted by serious people with actual skill and proper training, they crumple. Much more of this please.

It’s also not how hiring works in the corporate world.

This Sonics fan does not.

By this logic, parts of Texas and the Gulf of Mexico (America) belong to England by way of the Shell Oil Company. Parliament should get working on that Gulf of England proclamation.

When they say “we’re running out of good ideas” they mean ideas they can monetize. There are plenty of great ideas out there. They just don’t get attention because venture capitalists, or whoever, don’t think they can make money.

I believe he also has a 1965 Barracuda, so maybe they cancel each other out.

Everyone who grew up in Orange County has two conflicting souls within them. Apparently, she finally gave in to the wrong one.

Elon Musk made all of his billions in the SF Bay Area, a place that hasn’t had a white majority in a very, very long time. Does he think he could start a gazillion dollar company in Boise Idaho? No offense to Boise.

Cause he don’t know jack cause he can’t rap?

Totally. Once in Ireland, I was with some guys who were talking about how racist Americans were. A few hours later one of them says to the other, “ya look like a f-ing gypsy”.

Pretty clear that Trump is more personalist, Mussolini-style, while Miller and JD Vance are more ideological, German-style fascism. This administration is like a two-for-one of fascism.

Don’t have to look to the past. The far right Groypers are still saying this about American Jews. Fuentes expressed this sentiment to Tucker Carlson just a few weeks ago.

The only reason I know about the season is because of the latest Lilly Allen record where she cooks David Harbour. And Lilly Allen was someone I hadn’t thought about in at least 5 years too.
