Not to say the “average American” has great tastes in entertainment. Just that this chart only tells us about the tastes of that weird minority who actually watches network TV.
Note that the most popular thing there is a hair under 10M people. That means about 2.8% of the population of the USA. Everything on that chart gets us about 23% of the population.

Trust me, you don’t have to work hard to convince me of the dysfunctional nature of the United States Senate.
in a stunning departure from my usual approach to everything, I think I would feel BETTER if the whole shoe thing was AI and we just got duped
the thought of it being real paints such a horrifying picture of these people's complete inability to push back on even his most transparently bonkers whims
its only been like a week and this is already one of the stupidest things anyone's ever posted
The best case reason for him not getting treated (the stroke has massively impaired his judgement and nobody can wrangle him into making a healthy choice) is, coincidentally, a slam-dunk reason not to be a senator.
One can simultaneously think that he deserves a great deal of sympathy for his medical situation, and also that he absolutely should not be a senator.

virtue signaling is good! it's good to signal virtue, it's good to practice virtue! it's bad to be so cynical and bitter that you can't even see that.
one of the dumbest possible outcomes here is that donald ends up remembered as a senile, directionless fascist and pedophile who, completely unwittingly, blundered his way into forcing the rapid decarbonization of the global economy
I’d absolutely believe that the 1993 one was a preexisting script that the license was slapped onto and tweaked slightly to fit, though.

"everyone is twelve" can be overblown but elon musk, specifically, is twelve
Very excited that we're somehow getting another day of discourse out of The Florsheim Affair, one of the most delightful stories of this awful last year and change. Keep on clompin' boys! defector.com/report-presi...
as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them
Imagine how bad your argument has to be for Ezra Klein to Chotiner you.
He wasn't ready for photonic warfare.
Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
Right? Without the little alarm emoji, it’s just a straightforward “this person is quoting the bible” statement.
He’s often ridiculous and laughable, but rarely what I’d call funny. I’ve never been a fan of mean-spirited humor, though.

I know that modern republicans have abandoned almost any pretense of theological literacy but cmon man, its not like Matthew 25 is buried in some obscure part of the bible.

The fundamental mistake that the conservative legal movement made in looking at the Warren Court was assuming that it was all power and zero parts persuasion, so all they had to do was capture the institution. They were, I think, half right, but that other half is very important.
This is hilarious.
Also, completely enraging.
It's maddening because his fundamental stupidity is obvious in quite literally every public statement he makes. He doesn't understand half the words he reads off teleprompters, evinces no familiarity with very basic concepts, and regularly asserts completely inane nonsense.
5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
