Breaking News: Iran’s top security official said the Strait of Hormuz would not reopen until the U.S. met a sweeping list of demands, including withdraw the U.S. military from around Iran, pay war reparations and release frozen Iranian assets.

Yeah but at least they're not gonna make enriched uranium right? Right? Right?

Hello, is this thing on?

OT: NYT: "The U.S. Is Burning Through Weapons in Iran. Russia and China Are Taking Note." We are fucked. It would take years to rebuild the stockpile, with the complication that components involve a global supply chain. The enfuckening will continue long after Trump is out of office.

“A Squint Like No Other”

How is she consequential? How? The letter to her handler helping to legitimize him in exchange for a token number of kidnapped children?

I couldn’t even maintain my interest long enough to read through this article making fun of her. She might be one of the most boring famous person on earth.

Coming to your streaming service! The Documentary absolutely no one wanted!

How exciting. Can’t wait for this to fail spectacularly.

What it with these vapid money grabbers? For some reason they think that they are the best thing since sliced bread even in the face of irrefutable evidence such as being kicked off an island sanctuary to the spectator implosion of the first Melania joke on video. People literally laugh and curse them to their faces and they have zero self awareness.

Please you pustules. Go away. Preferably to jail.

OT but speaking of dishonest grifters: the professor turned memoirist at Cambridge who claims to have reached the pinnacle of his career despite (and, for reasons, because) of his professed autism. First of all IDK why anyone would want to lie about having that if it isn’t true, usually people are so ashamed of it that they go to exorbitant lengths to hide it because they get bullied for it. The second thing is… autism actually makes you struggle with dishonesty, which is why the “masking” is so draining and usually falls apart, but the person works overtime at keeping it up because it seems to be a valued quality in a world that promotes and values the bullshit artistry of the deal.

The fact his book is apparently so chock full of inconsistencies and hallucinations it could have been an AI model asked to write as Jon Lovitz in the role of George Santos… tells me that he can’t possibly be a “me” because he’s lying about being a me. It’s like an inverse Catch-22. You can’t possibly have a disorder that makes people honest to a fault because you’re clearly a consummate liar, which means you’re lying about having a disorder that makes people honest to a fault.

Anyway I won’t be surprised if this fabulist ends up on the right wing (dis)illusionist circuit soon and spinning his getting caught as just an elaborate exposure of “DEI hiring,” so there’s that. A black James Lindsay. I’m just unhappy it again places those who legitimately suffer from the malady he claims to have are going to be smeared (in more ways than one) by the characterization he’s put forth.

Now he’s a victim of the woke mob, like Graham Platner. And George Santos is already back on TV :(

I’ve known for awhile that being unable to develop a complete lack of shame is what’s held me back professionally to the point I don’t have a job at all. My father’s a textbook narcissist and a nepo baby. Not by accident, also the sole breadwinner. And intentionally got himself fired just so he could blame the employer for not appreciating him, then goes and gets a dopamine rush by lying his way into some other job. Meanwhile my mother and I were both conscientious to the point of self-destruction — and ended up earning $0 and being dependent on the liar with an equally dressed up resume. Billy Joel was right, honesty really is such a lonely word.

I fully get some don’t really have the option, but the prices are genuinely not that better than anywhere else, the site has been enshittified by surveillance AI everywhere, you buy a few things at one time and the shipping difference is minimal, and you’d no longer be supporting one of the worst companies on earth run by actual Lex Luther

I knew there was something we were missing out on. Just couldn't put my finger on it. Okay, "wouldn't put my finger on it."

1.4 of the 1.6 stars received by the Melania documentary was just for the color grading.

Was Enron Musk’s “Plan 9” digital production studio behind it?

Did Lara Trump do the soundtrack?

“Single most consequential First Lady…” And there was a lot of competition in that category, too. Abigail Adams. Eleanor Roosevelt. Lady Bird Johnson. Jackie Kennedy. Wasn’t there one who went on to become a senator and her party’s candidate for President?

Sherry's avatar

Michelle Obama!

On the world stage Melnarnia needs to up her game if she wants to outshine Elena Ceaușescu's accomplishments.

Imelda Marcos has entered the chat.

“the single most consequential first lady in the history of our nation.”

Eleanor Roosevelt would like a word.

Dolly Madison on Line 2.

Ah. I left out Dolly.

The singular reason none of this Melania shit doesn't work is there is absolutely nothing compelling about her other than she is an immigrant.

"I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on - if your position is that the president of the United States and his family should be immune from IRS scrutiny, you’re unqualified to be the Attorney General.

It’s an indictment on our entire system that 50 GOP Senators don’t agree."
