I don’t feel like making any inconvenient sacrifices for my beliefs. Cool if I paint everyone who does as an idiot and a failure

My fav wackadoodle argument from this one is Clarence Thomas saying Trump should be able to levy taxes like this bc in ye olde england the king could levy taxes. Doesn’t stop at all to think about why that’s problematic. Amazing stuff, 10/10, no notes

for the war are using all manner of disgusting justifications including the lie that they give a fuck about “women’s rights.” imo these talking points should be opposed and exposed for what they are—the manufacture of consent for bombing millions and possible invasion of another country

ilu moira but that is a satirical piece and while trump/top admin officials maybe haven’t said this explicitly, it is an extremely common justification being touted online by conservatives AND pro war libs. no one is blaming feminists. those against the war are blaming the Trump admin/US gov. those

They briefed the entire world for a month that this was coming

Would have been amazing if there had been any coordinated opposition at all to war with Iran from Democrats. Would’ve been really cool. Seems like an opposition party would’ve done that. Wonder why they didn’t.

I screamed HWAT with the pascal reveal. The other guy outside the apartment time lapse thing and he’s a struggling actor and his silly roommate COME ON. Not a single line of dialogue Dakota has makes sense. Truly what were they thinking other than they’re fucking with me and my time

I agree with everything except “this could’ve been a good movie.” I think you only cast her so you can make a bad movie. That movie was absurdist lunacy. I thought it was satire about romance filmmaking.

Hbd you and pod!

If anyone has a subscription to Zeteo, let me know! I am looking for a gift link or PDF of an article (I have already tried archive.is and I have so very many independent news subscriptions I swear I’ll get this one soon I’m just shooting in the dark no tea no shade to zeteo)

Post ... Nick Adams @NickAdamsinUSA Follow Donald Trump is the spiritual father of our country. We would be lost without his strong moral and biblical leadership! (AI generated photo of Donald Trump in a white suit lit like an angel handing out the bible to a racially diverse crowd)

Place is cooked imo

I think you should generally call people what they want to be called but I don’t think anyone needs to be referring to that guy as “Clavicular.” Come on

@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social hi Aaron! We emailed AIC comms but wanted to reach out directly as well to see if you’d be interested in coming on an episode of 5-4! We’d love to have you

If the judge cites “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” in a case affecting your life (as Elena Kagan literally does in Pulsifer v. United States), you should be allowed to do some crime.

I’m at rocky running up the stairs at the museum of art level of preparation

I’m—

I wish I could tell you yes, but probably no, you can’t

Crystal Shrek was an inside job (Peter bought it on purpose)

Hell. Crystal Shrek should run

I literally asked why is it like gesticulating to the ass with this pose how is it standing like that and Peter said “he stands on his own feet”

Rhiannon's high school teachers wheeled the TV cart in to show her the crystal Shrek in the middle of the school day

I was out of town when crystal shrek hit the towers (Peter’s brain) and was powerless to intervene

Spiderweb From other angles the fibers look fragile, but not from the spider's, always hauling coarse ropes, hitching lines to the best posts possible. It's heavy work everyplace, fighting sag, winching up give. It isn't ever delicate to live.

a man holds a sign that says to me you are perfect Alt: a man holds a sign that says to me you are perfect from Love Actually but Rhiannon said To Me You Are Criminal on today’s podcast and I cried and had to take a moment to recover from the extended cackling fit

@aywarhiannon.bsky.social I hurt myself laughing while listening today 🤣

dozens of women have accused him of sexual misconduct including rape and assaulting children and when you see him speak this way you know he doesn't even care to deny it, because he doesn't think he did anything wrong

Clarified this on Patreon but want to say here too - we weren’t saying ICE was literally out of Minneapolis. “ICE out of Minneapolis!” is a demand/chant, and we were using that to joke about Peter’s dumb jacket story. “ICE out of Minneapolis, Peter out of the house with his coat!”

2026 Mailbag: Is Any Of This Legal? [SUBSCRIBER-ONLY] | 5-4 Get more from 5-4 on Patreon

This week’s premium episode is a mailbag, where we address your questions. Most notably: what can be done about ICE?

The administrators of Columbia, Penn, Brown will do their best one day to gaslight us into believing they did the best they could, but it’s harder when others made different choices.

BARI WEISS: I think it's so telling. Liberals only want to talk about the bad bunny. Whereas rational people like you and me, I think, people who can agree to disagree, we want to talk about the good bunny.
