I just wish it would prioritize the top from the last 6 hours while showing older stuff below. Because slower communities feel dead when you visit and see no posts (even if there was one seven hours ago).

"You can't take a picture of this, it's already gone."

Yeah, if you do the Connections Bot, at the end it links to the NYT comments, and each one has its own themed image.

The little image at the end of this one made me lol.

Updated, thanks.

Thomas Manga: "No, I just wanted to make him jerk it."

What a condescending way to make your point. Of course terrorism doesn't belong to one ideology.

I was talking about vehicle ramming attacks specifically, because the deadliest incidents have been Islamist extremists targeting crowded venues in Europe, including the Bastille Day attack on the promenade in Nice and the 2016 attack on another Christmas market in Berlin (which this attack was clearly imitating). I just find it weird that a right-wing anti-immigrant Islamophobe would do a copycat attack like that -- it's like a left-wing Israeli protesting the war in Gaza by suicide-bombing Palestinians in Ramallah.

Why would an Islamophobic, anti-immigration Saudi launch a vehicle attack associated with jihadist terrorism on a German Christmas market? Bizarre.

We got a regular Mr. Incredible over here.

Scott is a bag of shit, but the nominee for SoS is Florida's other senator Marco Rubio (who is also a bag of shit).

Not exactly an iconic line, but I love the delivery:

"Have you heard of the Monks of Deshuba?"

Fry: "I've... not heard of them."

Futurama's great for nerdy science gags, social satire, and pop culture spoofs, but its best jokes are always uniquely stupid twists of language like this.

Democratic presidents since LBJ:

• Jimmy Carter
• Bill Clinton
• Barack Obama

Which ones had a bigger record of progressive economic accomplishments than Biden? Closest one is Obama, but his Recovery Act was less than half the size of Biden's Rescue/Infra/IRA/CHIPS packages. Biden was also more strongly pro-union and pro-regulation, and accomplished his many wins in half the time and with far narrower majorities in both houses.

This would be a compelling argument if the Biden administration hadn't been the most economically progressive since LBJ.

You can't knock that boy over with a pail of water!

Reminds me of this really interesting video on the Mississippi Delta Chinese community -- folks who are entirely of Chinese descent but who have thick Southern drawls and names like Gilroy, and still feel like outsiders despite living there their whole lives.

I laughed my ass off at the pathetic, baseless attempts to dispute the 2020 election, but never questioned their legal right to do so (which they failed miserably at). If suspicious Harris supporters believe they have convincing evidence of manipulation, then let their claims be examined and proven or disproven by a recount or in a court of law. Call it copium, but I'd rather check these claims out and be disappointed than pre-emptively assume they're bullshit.

I see this claim so much, and it's bullshit. Harris didn't make a single policy concession to get Cheney on board. And why would she? The entire point of having her endorse was to send the message of "Trump is so dangerous that even people who disagree with me are choosing to support me."

Harris didn't move right! She supported expanding the child tax credit, legalizing marijuana, codifying Roe, etc.

She did campaign with Cheney, but didn't endorse her or promise her a position of power or adopt any of her policy preferences. The whole point was to signal "Trump is so dangerous that even the most conservative leaders are setting aside their disagreements to support me."

"Goodbye"
