A few years back he quit Spotify because he didn’t like Joe Rogan’s opinions about Covid but after a few years he came back when he found out you can listen to Joe Rogan anywhere.

Screw it. Let’s make a List Of Things Neil Young has quit!

It’s 1960s Winnipeg! A young man enrolls at Kelvin High School, eager to get his exciting life started.

But first? Gotta QUIT. He drops out of high school.

It’s important to get an early start on your hobbies.

The Lord Christ hurting me: a Keith Olbermann Thread

Upcoming Sweeney projects - a
Jarvis Thread:

1. Sydney Sweeney is elite race car driver Elizabeth Fastrubber BUT can she win the season title and become a master grand champion? Find out this fall only in theaters - it’s MASTER RACE! 2. “Excuse me miss, but I couldn’t help noticing that you have absolutely massive milkers.”

With that one cheesy pickup line, Hank Henderson landed the girl of his dreams. But what will it take to keep her? Find out this winter on ABC’s new drama, FOURTEEN WORDS ❤️

With the boomers deciding to live forever I'm not sure there's any way AROUND doing this. I've had several family members buy big houses when they had young families, but then the value of their house increased 10X over the decades (not unheard of in Colorado).

So by the time they're empty nesters and would love to downsize, their capital gains at 20% would have been ENORMOUS. Capital gains of $1M plus broker fees plus moving fees and maybe you're giving up $250K+ just for the privilege of having a smaller house.

As a result, the boomers are living in big empty houses while young families can't afford enough space. I have several old ass neighbors occupying these big houses like Zuccotti Park but for some reason I can't call in the NYPD to tase the shit out of them. I don't want to give the boomers ANOTHER tax break but we have to find some humane way to make nana homeless.

Alright. Look.

Who knows.

But . . . writing a script of an imaginary commercial or something with a voice over and use of these words, many of which have more than one syllable . . .

doesn't really sound like him.

If they said Trump sent Epstein a glossy picture of a chick with huge tits and had written HEY JACKOFF GET A LOAD OF THESE I might believe it. But not this.

Pride Month is over boys and I'm as bummed as all of you.

However, as I did last year, I want to encourage you - there's still plenty of special days ahead for my fellow LGTBuddies.

While Pride is gone, it's only a few more months to October, which is LGBT History Month. Then we come to November, which is Trans Awareness Month.

But do not confuse that with the Trans Day of Visibility, which is March 31, or Pansexual Visibility Day, which is May 24.

I'm a big fan of judicial impeachments and we should do it more often! Only 8 US judges in history have been impeached and convicted, and we need to get that number up!

There's this one dude in Nevada who can only be described as an unrestrained lunatic. Here is his story. Bob Jones is his name! He seemed like a sensible guy as a bankruptcy judge and was actually on the Judicial Conference Committee where he handled ethical issues for other judges.

George W nominated him and he was confirmed unanimously by the Senate in 2003. Good start!

Good afternoon, friends. A bit of "personal news" as they say.

I am thrilled to announce that I have resigned effective immediately from my lucrative $4M/yr law partnership in order to devote my time to my new Substack vertical, THE CULTURAL ENGAGER.

I want to reiterate that I resigned due to me being brave and bold and I was not at all fired by my management that objected to me spending 16 hours a day hitting on girls on X The Everything App. I can hear you ingrates now. "Oh, another centrist blog. Yawn."

Well shut the hell up and listen a minute because that's not what this is AT ALL.

I mean it is, but it's THE CULTURAL ENGAGER has so much more than that!

I have decided to do a NEW KEITH THREAD. I really enjoyed my last one where he demanded that everyone get arrested for insane reasons, but this new one is made up of people he demands to RESIGN.

Now, Keith demands that people resign every day. So to keep it of reasonable length, I’m limiting it to (i) Dems - people on his own side and (ii) demand issued within the last year.

Even with those restrictions, there’s still a lot of content.

As with the last thread, I will name the person who should resign and identify the reason why they should resign.

Alright, LFG. Senator Gary Peters: Being a pine cone and criticizing the Hunter pardon.

Thread: I thought I would take a little "trip down memory lane" so we can remember what a FUN election season it's been, maybe the best ever.

During the first six months, Biden kept spacing out and wandering off like a goddam child. It was wild.

The journos assured us that these videos were deceptively edited and FAKE NEWS, possibly Russian.

This is the beauty of America though. Every President is Hitler. A Hitler of defined powers and subject to checks and balances, but Hitler nonetheless. George Washington was our First Hitler, and him along with our other Founding Hitlers put a system in place that would stand the test of time and allow regular people to put a new Hitler in office every four years. A lot of people don't like this or that Hitler, but everyone gets a say and sooner or later there will be a Hitler in power that represents your interests, your views - your own personal Hitler. Four of the best Hitlers we've ever had.

On my deathbed so I’m watching Tombstone. No buildup no nothing the bad guys just show up out of nowhere and start shooting everyone hahahahahahaha

Alright I'm angry. Jamal Khashoggi took money from Qatar to write columns for the Washington Post. Max Boot's wife took money from Korea and co-wrote his columns too.

Mehdi Hasan has been off and on Qatar's payroll his whole career.

Qatar invested $50M in Newsmax.

The Bidens are all on Ukraine's payroll and China's payroll. The NBA is also owned by China, which is why Steve Kerr and LeBron James spend so much time hating the US on their behalf.

China also apparently funds and staffs every high profile Democrat in the country.

Lots of folks calling other people "weird" lately, and that's a real shame. Did you know that WEIRD Americans have actually contributed a lot to this country? Here are some of my favorites:

1. Jim Henson!

What kind of a grown man is obsessed with puppets?? Talk about WEIRD! But this hero went on to create the Muppets and entertain and educate generations of kids and adults alike. Thank you Jim! 2. Fred Rogers!

Fred is known for his famous TV show, but did you know that he was also a GIANT weirdo? It's true! After college, Fred went to seminary like a religious nutjob and became a minister for the world's dumbest religion (Presbyterianism). He also enjoyed swimming naked, the freak. We like you Fred, but you're WEIRD!

Anna Merlan has a long piece about how some people skeptical of public health officials during covid ended up going deep into conspiratorial thinking and disbelieving basic facts about AIDS.

But nowhere does she even consider the possibility that skepticism of public health messaging increased because officials set their own credibility on fire.
technologyreview.com/2024/08/07/109… It's not even clear that the villains of her piece were wrong about covid (at least she doesn't try to make that case). She vaguely mentions that the bad guys had "fringe theories" about covid origins, vaccines, social distancing, and masks.

Maybe public health officials said inaccurate things about those topics too? Maybe?

Keith Olbermann has called for Elon’s arrest so I thought I would do a thread of my favorite times Keith has demanded someone be arrested along with why he wants them locked up.

Elon Musk: Donating to a PAC that gathers voter info. Ron DeSantis: Flying migrants to Martha’s Vineyard

For serious though I think we're past the era where partisans see any benefit to submitting to debate and hard questions. In the old days, it was thought that politician and public both would benefit from the aggressive scrutiny of ideas because doing so would help find the truth

John Stuart Mill wrote about this - don't censor, don't hide from the testing and debate of ideas. If you're right, you can persuade; if not, it's good that the bad idea was identified. Hiding from debate showed that you were not confident in your own ideas.

Let's talk about Winnipeg. Winnipeg is ASS. No one from Winnipeg will go to heaven or even be eligible for consideration.

Winnipeg is the greatest city in the "province" (French for "state") of Manitoba, which is sort of like being the smartest guy at Boston College. Not great. Here is the city flag of Winnipeg, which looks like it was designed by a third grader in Ms. Hodgkins' class of slower kids using the Windows Vista version of MS Paint.

I am normally against flag burning but I don't think anyone would miss this.

LOS ANGELES!

I do not care for Los Angeles. You will NEVER EVER EVER find a city with such a radical combination of huge ego and utter shittiness. Like Detroit sucks but it KNOWS it sucks and there's a refreshing authenticity about it. NOTHING is authentic in LA, where the people are as fake as their own cheek bones.


It's next to an ocean, but it has no water. It has all the rich celebrities, but 90% of it is a drug-infested skid row. They legalized crime, yet still manage to kill unarmed black people daily. A CITY OF CONTRASTS!

🧵

A lot of people are upset with Biden for declaring Easter to be Trans Day of Visibility, but to be fair, the date of was selected only because the LGBCalendar was already rather full.

The Trans Day of Visibility is March 31. Do not confuse this with the Trans Day of Remembrance, which is November 20. We must also take care to honor Transgender Parent Day (Nov 6) Trans Awareness Week (Nov 13-19) and International Pronoun Day (Oct 20).

Trans is distinct from drag. International Drag Day is July 16.

They’re still mad hahahaha

As a reminder Jarvis and a 9-0 SCOTUS were correct and Dumbass George Conway - who is a dumbass - and Dumbass J Michael Luttig - who is also a dumbass - were wrong.

But sure let’s just pretend Sonia Sotomayor is MAGA so we don’t have to concede how smart and handsome Jarvis is.
