Give a man a book, and he'll read for a week. Teach a man to write a book, and he'll never fully enjoy anything again.
You’d think by 2025, people would see a beautiful, fit man in his fifties who has never had a girlfriend, and not need questions answered like “How does he get away with touching these women so much?”
I know he was convicted of horrendous crimes, but something about this man's face makes me trust him.
I'm so old I wrote that! That's assuming it's the Windows version, which is the one I worked on. The Win9x game, art, and original code, were done by Maxis/Cinematronics. I ported it to Windows NT, converted the x86 asm to C, made it work on RISC, and so on. Success has…
Are you this old?
1/ The short and potentially tragic journey of American émigré Derek Huffman, who moved with his family from Texas to Russia to escape gays and pornography, joined the Russian army and was sent to the front in Ukraine, is documented by his YouTube channel. ⬇️
MAGA: Any adult who has sex with a 16-year-old is a pedophile. Also MAGA: Look at this 16yo from 1975, hubba hubba wowowowow.
America in the 1970s Probably afforded this lifestyle on one income
French prez Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte just filed a lawsuit against right-wing podcaster Candace Owens in the US over her outlandish claims against the couple, including that Brigitte is trans. Macrons are repped by Clare Locke. Complaint: clarelocke.com/wp-content/upl…
This weird tweet and all the replies make me think they don’t know what happens after “organ procurement.” (The organs save other people’s lives.)
Our findings show that hospitals allowed the organ procurement process to begin when patients showed signs of life, and this is horrifying. The organ procurement organizations that coordinate access to transplants will be held accountable. The entire system must be fixed to…
This video shows at least 20 cars in the VP’s caravan, and it ends before we see if that’s all of them.
HAPPENING NOW: Protesters greet JD Vance with boos as he arrives at an RNC fundraiser in Nantucket
Every time you tried to call this girl, no one picked up. She never got your message because no one had answering machines.
Trump has signed legislation cumulatively adding $13 trillion in debt in his 4.5 years as president - dwarfing every other president in our lifetime. Give me a break.
Britt: We are $37 trillion in debt. It’s not just fiscally irresponsible, it is morally irresponsible and I'm so grateful to President Trump and his leadership for saying the buck stops with me and we’re starting to rein this in..
Fascinating tidbit in @TheAnkler about the Colbert news and its timing. Colbert's manager knew in late June that the show was being canceled but didn't tell the host until July 16. theankler.com/p/vacation-col…
Alina Habba’s request to extend her interim appointment as US Attorney for NJ past today was rejected by the 17 US District Court judges. meidasnews.com/news/alina-hab…
OMG we're back to the "walls are closing in"
Trump’s populism is a house of cards. It has been sturdier than expected. Refusing to release the Epstein files might be the tug that topples it all.
As I said on the pod it makes sense Trump is demanding $10b from the WSJ, b/c the reputational damage is incalculable: Overnight, this article destroyed Trump's longstanding rep as someone who, if anything, treats women *too* kindly and with *too much* class. It's super unfair.
NEW: It appears another hoax has been attempted. Family members of an 82-year-old Chilean man in PA went to the media claiming ICE arrested him while renewing a green card in Philly, that he died in ICE custody, then that he was secretly deported to Guatemala. The story went…
Jeep to lose $350 million this year due to tariffs and much more due to recent drop in car sales. abcnews.go.com/Business/jeep-…
I love all the people applauding this. It’s the same people who applauded the first round of Epstein binders. It’s like Lucy and the football.
Today, after nearly 60 years of questions surrounding the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we are releasing 230,000 MLK assassination files, available now at archives.gov/mlk. The documents include details about the FBI’s investigation into the assassination…
In my whole life, I’ve never met anyone whose second marriage was better (unless the first marriage ended over an addiction).
More trouble for Trump's "arrest Obama" distraction from Epstein. Conservative commentator Matt Walsh says Obama either needs to be arrested, or Gabbard needs to resign. x.com/MattWalshBlog/…
Enough of the memes and the tough talk. Go put these people in handcuffs.
