Taylor Swift fans are the modern day equivalent of those cults who would consistently have inaccurate rapture predictions like once a month

My celebrity crush is the guy who voices the crosswalk commands. Absolutely love when he says “wait” or “walk”

Not the times doing a piece on how brain dead my high school is…
Striking detail in the big NYT piece on Taiwanese families adjusting to working at the huge new TSMC chip plant in Arizona: their surprise at the lack of rigor in US schools.

Rarely do I share someone else’s words here, but I think it would be hard to nail it better than the Daily Show did:

i’m sorry but i simply cannot mourn the loss of dolly parton until i know her views on the rwandan genocide, the partition of india, or the annexation of crimea. only then can i decide if her countless contributions to the community were worth anything .

people love to pretend that “it’s not my job to educate you” was just a copout & never pushback on the expectation that the responsibility for stopping bigoted behavior falls entirely on marginalized people w no responsibility for self-education

Look, whether or not you can take the phrase "Woke 1" seriously, you have to be able to admit that the left made mistakes. Trump won twice! Whatever we did to win the culture war, it objectively failed! What's the point of denying this?

Is it not weird to MAGA that Trump is practicing core parts of communism?
NEW: US government now owns equity stakes in 30 private companies after being involved in 0 just over a year ago, in some instances being the single largest shareholder according to Cato Institute.

It’s amazing how much of a 180 I’ve done on dogs. In my early 20s I was all into no-kill shelters and “oh no the poor doggos.” I would have defended the “rehabilitation” of the most f’ed-in-the-head animal. Now at nearly 40 after having kids it’s like, yeah just euthanize the dogs. What are we even doing here. People donate good money to this?

I’m of the belief that we’ve been in a “cold” civil war for a while now. Most people might consider the 2016 election to be the starting point, but for me it’s December 14, 2012 and its aftermath.

It says a lot that Congress indexed the maximum amount people can donate to their campaigns to inflation, but not the minimum wage.
"The minimum wage is now the lowest it’s been in 70 years," per FORTUNE

the idea of “running the government like a business” while constantly propagandizing against taxes, which is its main source of revenue, is a fun little contradiction i think we don’t talk about enough
