A lot of stupid celebrity children's names are actually just fake and they say their kid is named Orchid or whatever just so the media doesn't know the actual one
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene bought CrowdStrike stock, $CRWD, last month.
It has fallen 40% since then.
So far one of the worst trades we've ever seen:
It's pretty funny when people use Barnett Newman as like an example of terrible zero effort modern art because when some nutjob slashed one of his paintings nobody wanted to restore it because the way it was painted was way too complex
Some misinformation in today's US presidential debate about who bears the cost of tariffs. So let's talk about how tariffs affect what you pay for a suit. 🧵
The Vatican has informed a Donald Trump-supporting archbishop that he is being excommunicated for refusing to recognize Pope Francis' authority after years of outspoken public attacks.
One time in summer camp I asked the rabbi if it was kosher to eat ham flavored chips if they didn't actually have any ham in the ingredients and that's the kind of question that takes up 80% of the Talmud and it ends with two elderly throwing hands over it
NEWS: Treasury and the IRS are announcing today that Direct File is here to stay.

We are inviting all 50 states and D.C. to join Direct File in 2025.
All thanks to

Inflation Reduction Act. 👏
The menswear guy is clearly the apex predator of posting about suits and people consistently think they can measure up. You should have learnt to keep your distance after he called that guy's tailor
The only good consequence of Musk’s new algo is it pushed this random menswear guy into everyone’s feed, at which point it became clear he has a once-a-generation talent for posting.
The menswear guy is literally the Bane of posting. He grew up in a violent posting pit, clawed his way up, and then descended upon unknowing, underpowered idiots
when i was on a menswear forum, a n00b claimed his shoes were handwelted, so an older forum member bought a pair of the shoes for $400, ripped them apart, and proved they were not handwelted, thus triggering a series of events that brought down a shoe factory in italy
It's wild that the medicis are still around like people on this website think you have generational wealth if your house had two tvs and meanwhile there's people out there whose ancestors are playable in civ
Harry Potter has a recurring bit where Lucius Malfoy is painted as an unreasonable jerk for trying to get Dumbledore fired except the reason is, more or less "letting a serial killer target multiple students" every single time
I’m aware this is a popular opinion but folks seem unaware of just how much popular culture sucked in previous decades and even prior centuries. Abraham Lincoln was murdered watching a play that was actual trash.
Something I love about DC is that it's absolutely unhinged in a way basically no other cities are because it's Americans (who are definitionally nuts) but also it's like, a sports fandom city where the sport is partisan politics
the reason the electoral college is dumb is basically that the two people with actual presidential campaigns have to spend a combined 15 billion dollars to convince a whopping 200,000 people to vote for them, out of a population of 330,000,000
Tiktok conservatives are like dodos or kakapos, they have grown fat and complacent due to facing no real threats. If Reddit atheists, their natural predators, end up descending on them... it doesn't look pretty
Thought he had an easy target. Didn’t realize dude rockin the sandals/jeans/ponytail/solo Bluetooth was born into the shitty internet debate. Molded by it. When Mr TikTok was out partying he was studying Usenet archives and paying for Something Awful…
Japanese people saying the US won't take responsibility for its war crimes is pretty much the perfect example of people who live in glass houses throwing stones
Oppenheimer has been released in Japan, eight months after its global release.
We spoke to historian Naoko Wake to learn why the U.S. refuses to take accountability for the war crimes it committed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and why all of this is relevant to us today.
It's kind of funny how the average man in the Kennedy family is like, Satan incarnate, and the average woman is a humanitarian who founded 14 charities that help homeless veterans and their dogs
NEW: last week a group of US hardline conservatives brought the National Conservatism conference to London. It fell completely flat. Why?
Because Britain and America are completely different societies.
Key chart: UK Cons are *way* more liberal than US Reps on ~every measure.
Also that Bill and Hillary Clinton actually have an open marriage and have had for a long time and just pretended he cheated and she was mad because people would be weirded out by it
the weirdest fact i've found out is that the term "Hitler particles" comes from leon trotsky himself and not like, some 50 follower account called mr_papaya
@MissPavIichenko
This is basically the one example where I do believe it. She's incredible strange and he's a moron, of course their kids have fucked up names
The funniest part, by far, is how the "cognitively impaired" driver was just doing the oldest taxi driver scam in the book to the author, who fell for it
Race scientists asking the hard questions: are large proportions of people in the Global South really intellectually impaired?
Answer: of course they are
Evidence? A conversation the race scientist had with a taxi driver in Ecuador 🤦♀️
American farmers explaining why people who live in cities should be mass sterilized instead of just not subsidizing water to grow tropical crops in the middle of the desert:
BREAKING: Fed announces that Jerome Powell received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. He has embraced Islamic Banking and the Fed Funds Rate is now 0%. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!
Taylor Swift has had a measurable effect on the US economy, boosting GDP growth by around 5%. Therefore, an idea: when the economy is running too cold, the Fed deploys Taylor on tour to boost spending. And when it's running hot, it makes her go on hiatus.
Call this a Taylor Rule
Some guy did try to because he was one of thode "my toddler" guys, used regular paint and a paint roller, and did such a bad job that even the painting slasher hated it
It is fairly weird how the American public flies precisely two flags in front of every government building: 1) the US flag and 2) a scary flag promoting a false and nonsensical conspiracy theory with no backing except deranged reactionary bullcrap from 30 years ago
Sydney Sweeney reveals in an interview that she's a big critic of Why Nations Fail.
"I think people who like it probably just don't know how flawed the research supporting it is."
She adds, "Freakonomics is even worse, though"
My favorite niche cultural difference is that for Americans 6 feet is how you define "tall", but in metric world (aka normal countries) it's 1.80, which is 5'10 bordering on 5'11. So maybe USoid men do face unrealistic height standards
1992: macroeconomics is useless. Study micro.
2002: macroeconomics is useless. Study micro.
2012: macroeconomics is useless. Study micro.
2022: Why does nobody know what inflation or a recession are?
argentina having been a relatively well-off country until a couple decades ago is crazy because suddenly you have a bunch of these art deco futurist masterpieces located in random tiny towns in the middle of bumfuck nowhere
One shocker plot twist I encountered in real life was discovering, around age 14, that the popular kids were actually the nice ones, while there were some truly malevolent characters hiding among the nerds & outcasts.
🚨BREAKING 🚨🚨: In recent meeting with House Democrats, Joe Biden reportedly mixed up Daemon, Aemond, Aegon, Aemon, Daeron, Maelor, Baelon, Aerion, Maegon, Gaemon, Vaegon, Aelor, Maegor, Aerys, Aenys, and Aenar
