megatron cradling a bullet-ridden hank Hill in his arms, crying. remembering when they first met, hank Hill days "now i dont know about 'energon', but if you need a good energy source i can set you up with some propane" to which megatron replied "TELL ME MORE NOW"

i say this to my students a lot and am always surprised when they find it discouraging rather than exciting. no one cares as much as you do whether you write that book! you can write it however you want!
There was a clear social contract in the 8-bit era.
Regardless of the boxy, monochrome lumps on screen, everyone from the coder(s) to the players acknowledged that the boxart was What They Had In Mind. The player's imagination made up the difference.
Historian of French Revolution here to say that in periods like this, squeamish compromisers do as much to drive radicalization as do ideologues. If you keep making excuses for the unfit king, eventually folks come for you and him.
This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
The symbiotic, mutually-beneficial media/Trump relationship has coddled him so much that he has genuinely lost the ability to distinguish between projecting strength and announcing weakness.
His actual political talents are atrophying from his lack of need for them domestically.
As an American (sigh) I don’t understand having national pride in ANYTHING if you’re not going to have national pride in our explicit rejection of noble, royal, and imperial titles.
The Framers were hypocritical slaver fucks but their commitment to THAT created the framework for things to improve.
the last few times iran has accepted a ceasefire, the US and israel have taken the opportunity to restock their weapons and then surprise attack iran again. "there's zero point in engaging in diplomacy with us any more" is what that strategy teaches
WAIT THEY BANNED CASSIE????? fuck this whole fucking "Trust and Safety" team, more like Distrust and Unsafety
This is not true—driver’s licenses aren’t acceptable under the SAVE Act without additional proof of citizenship. The fact that they keep doing this sleight of hand should make clear that the SAVE Act is not something that “every American gets”
well fuck THAT
If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job
One of the many problems with DJT is he’s dumber on every axis than a high school student, and high school students are openly taught “wars are good for the economy; WWII cured the Great Depression!”
To be “fair” even I didn’t know the US had like an afternoon’s worth of smart munitions stocked
Truly whomst could have seen this coming
Sadly the paramedics recognized no treaty of human-snake peace. Which to be fair they needed to identify the venom. Would have hated to pay 6 figures for the wrong antivenin.
I almost chimed in with this
It’s the positive thinking shit—he can/will/does lie but more often his dishonesty is just trying to will something true which reads as a form of honesty
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
The people who feel pride in leveraging society and its prejudices to kill these organisms at no risk or cost to themselves should instead feel a greater portion of shame
As one of the “7000,” I love this piece.
If there is poetry in nature, the rattlesnake must express it uniquely. It warns you so that both may leave and live in peace.
An adaptation of mutual respect.
Assistant TO the President
neither trump nor rubio nor hegseth can articulate any specific strategic or tactical outcome of this war, and what each man *can* articulate is in direct conflict with each other, and the press have a duty to focus on that, which they are failing, because no one wants to be the one to say it
30 Rock was uncanny in how it nailed the slightly loopier hollywood of the near future
I genuinely believe we’d be in a much different place today. If every single day of any Trump presidency there has been a new impeachment filed with all Democrats voting for at every opportunity. Even if there had never been a republican defection it would frame things far more accurately.
Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.
Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.
looked it up--intrigued
The Dems literally took in the neocon architects of the war, rehabilitated them as Never Trumpers, and gave them positions of influence within the party! Not only have they faced ZERO consequences, but they were rewarded immensely for starting an illegal war that killed a million people!
Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.
Complete Idiot realizes that the ethnic cleaning that makes him hard is impossible without mass state violence that he doesn't have the stomach for
Good, Pretti, and ICE's other victims will be remembered as American heroes--martyrs for 21st century civilization
there's an impressive amount of "yo FUCK dem kids" even for a film clearly on the long tail of the 1970s
