Um, so are we going to get any follow-up on that thing where the FBI paid a petty criminal to try and incite violence and discredit Black Lives Matter protesters?

@peter @Steve Also the guy in charge of the nuclear bomb does not know how to disarm the nuclear bomb?

If you don’t live in Ohio, I want to make it clear: the anti-abortion side didn’t sleep on this one. They tried everything. Every fucking trick, DeWine was cutting ads, they did the full “Liberals want to literally cut up live babies” playbook. And it still didn’t work.Honestly, this result might be the most hopeful thing I’ve seen in three years.

There will be large, consequential changes to the practice and structure of the federal government…and those decisions will be made by whoever can do the best job flattering a narcissist with dementia who wasn’t all that bright in his prime.So, yes, I’m a little worried.

The “masculinity crisis” is just a bunch of dudes who can’t get over the fact that life isnt an action movie.

They’re mad that they will never get to be Batman, never get a Die Hard moment, never get to kill zombies, etc.They’re mad that no one, absolutely fucking no one, is impressed with their steely man gaze.

The jaw dropping thing about the destruction of higher Ed is that it is entirely a self-inflicted wound. There is no crisis, no reason for this other than Republicans hate knowledge and Musk and Big Balls think college is dumb.Universities are economic engines. Across the Midwest and south they are often the only thing that keeps red state communities afloat.

Invading Venezuela for the oil is the kind of deeply stupid idea that you come up with because you have an MBA and never learned anything but network and bullshit.Yes, it’s also evil to invade a country to steal its resources. But I really want to emphasize how incredibly fucking stupid this is.

You do get that “The US is the richest, most powerful country,” isn’t like an ironclad law of the physical universe, right?Because it sure looks like we are currently testing exactly how much prosperity we can just piss away. And I don’t think we have infinite prosperity, guys!

Obviously, a lot of factors went into this…But it was probably a bad sign for society when we started doing breakdown analysis of movie trailers.

Studies show the main effect of partisan news is agenda setting, not persuasion.Your Fox News uncle has no idea the Epstein coverup is happening, but he’s very well informed about literally every crime committed by any immigrant anywhere in the US.

“With every other technology boom people were happy and excited, but for some mystifying reason that’s not true of AI.”Sweetiebear, are you still confused about why New Coke failed?https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/technology/ai-boom-backlash.html

Of course, my university insists that “AI literacy” is one of its main goals for students and faculty. There are classes and workshops and everything.

If we survive this era maybe I’ll write a book someday about how much wealth and prosperity we pissed away because of sad, mediocre white dudes who desperately needed everyone to call them special.
