Factoring in that a lot of people just are not gonna admit to something like this over the phone, this is a huge number lol

i mean absolutely no offense, but i really, truly, genuinely think it’s detrimental in a broad and long term social sense that we now associate having an interest in literally anything at all with autism

This quote from an IDF soldier should pose an existential challenge to all of the various fields—antisemitism studies, genocide studies, far-right studies, etc.—that were ultimately born out of the legacy of the Holocaust.

this is such a nefarious way to tell 60 MINUTES viewers that there are, in fact, no lebanese civilians, no palestinian civilians, no person of either nationality or ethnicity who does not deserve violence against them. nasty stuff.

Finally a legitimate critique of cars

Melissa McCarthy coulda been the comedian poet of midwestern female rage a la Connor O’Malley if she had been a real fucking weirdo with it. I believe that. She’s committed. She would kill it in a Safdie flick

We need to bring back the horror trend of plotless horror movies with endless scenes of romantic, gothic horror imagery (e.g Jean Rollin, Jesus Franco films)

Going anti-vaxx and anti-LGBTQ+ to avoid paying more in taxes or breaking up his monopolies. Billionaires all care about maintaining their wealth and power. There's no such thing as good ones

Congrats to the New York Times for giving the stupidest assholes in the world a reason to pretend like their work has lasting value aside from flattering the jerkoffs who fund it

Ahead of its time is a cliche but it really does apply here

I thought nothing in Democratic Party politics could shock me anymore. But I’ve actually been surprised at how truly inept Connolly is. The fact that this was all out of spite towards someone who went out of her way to debase herself for the party is just the icing on top

They start dismantling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and then DoorDash becomes a payday lender a month later.

While we're on the topic, I feel like we don't shit on programmers for having poor math and science backgrounds too.

seems like a datapoint about capitalism that being the richest guy on earth can’t buy you class, dooms you to a cartoonishly impoverished imagination, attenuates your insecurities to an almost psychotic degree, and is just entirely compatible with being a worthless piece of shit
