Kristi Noem's $220M Horseback Riding Ad Dwarfed the Budgets of These 2026 Oscar Nominees Outgoing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem used $220 million in taxpayer money to create a minute-long anti-immigration ad. That's more than the combined production and marketing budgets of nearly every 2026 ...

Noem's one-minute $220 million ad cost more than nearly every film nominated for Best Picture at the upcoming 2026 Academy Awards:

* Frankenstein
* Marty Supreme
* Sinners
* Bugonia
* Hamnet
* Train Dreams
* Sentimental Value
* The Secret Agent

The best advice I have for writers is: the harder you try to impress people with your prose, the worse your prose will be. Sit down and try to communicate honestly, you will find the places for your flourishes and metaphors that actually serve greater meaning rather than your own ego.

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

At some point we should realize that evangelical anti-semitic Zionism is a real thing.

Need to get all the Jews to Israel to trigger the return of Jesus. They support Israel not because they like Jews, but because they need Jews to die in order to launch Armageddon and fulfill Revelations.

β€˜Hey’ came before β€˜hi,’ and β€˜hi' came before β€˜hello.’

β€˜Hi’ is most likely a variant of β€˜hey.’

β€˜Hello’ is not related to either.

But now that I think about it, I don't think I've gotten any missionaries since then? Maybe they're not doing it as much, or I've been living in places that they don't visit? Wonder what it is 2/2

Like 15-16 years ago I used to get missionaries at the door fairly often. At the time I was living in FL in a tiny apt with a tiny baby. I would tell them I am not in the market for a religion, but happy to give them a snack & a water. They always took me up on it lol, had some interesting convos 1/
