My editor thought of the very good joke “despawn the police” once it was too late for me to add it, so please enjoy it as a reward for looking at the comments.

Israel’s “right to exist” is a meaningless red herring. If someone asks you whether Israel has a “right to exist,” I’m not saying you should start looking to see if they have a “Facts don’t care about your feelings” t-shirt or Bari Weiss Substack subscription, but you’re at least dealing with someone with such fucked…

No country has “a right to exist,” not a single one... not ever in the history of the world. Zionists want Israel to be granted something no other country has ever had.

Wait, is there an age that you are supposed to start splitting bags of coke with kids?

My knee-jerk reaction to this was anger and frustration, and it took a bit to tease apart why and what’s going on. On the surface, I’m frustrated with the apparent glibness with which he’s approaching addiction and withdrawal, and painting himself as a modern MLK. But I also know that the safest society is one in…

This “tactic” of surrounding or cornering groups of peaceful protestors seems to be one of the main ways police escalate situations. We saw it all through the BLM protests, the same has been going on in Myanmar with the protests against the coup there and now yet another example.

I mean, going with an ipad vs an iphone is just choosing a clunkier platform with fewer options, which makes sense for the guy that went from Selena Gomez to Hailey Baldwin.

I actually have been wondering if part of the reason that conservative media is SO fixated on blowing up these trivial things is because between vaccinations and the relief bill, things for Americans will start to improve across the board, and they have to find SOMETHING to keep their base angry.

Congrats on outing yourself as smol bean

Woman also thankfully wasn’t given a job because she spent a decade lobbying for military contractors and middle eastern nations to democratic politicians.

Before all the greys get too excited, we are ALL FINE WITH HIM BEING FUCKING GONE. Everyone is replaceable, we don’t need to keep trash like this hanging out. I know Republicans make excuses and excuses for their people for some reason no one with any sense can fathom (it’s because every Republican is a terrible…

Thank you thank you for this! My mouth is watering already! Yes, yes, yesssss!

MTG: “Trust the science!!” (in scare quotes for some reason)

I know, right? Ok, so the specifics in your comment made me smile, and here’s why (sorry this is long, as I’m too tired to be concise):

Thank you! You’re absolutely right. I’m not a big fan of Gwyneth or goop, but she absolutely did NOT suggest that any of these treatments would be an effective means of treating a COVID infection. That was total click bait.

What you did there, I see it.

I randomly started watching this on Netflix without knowing what it was. It's good, but they absolutely do not slow down at all and it's very jarring to watch at first

Wait, so this guy who nearly murdered his girlfriend is out? I don’t like the carceral state, and I don’t like confinement and detention as methods of “justice,” but if you’re going to have a carceral state, you might as well use it here, where it might actually directly and concretely protect someone.

I don’t have anything productive to add. But just a reminder our Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, is a McKinsey alum and we need to keep an eye on him

I hope the fucking hunt him down like a dog.
