I wish I could be 100% sure this was sarcasm.

T. rex took 40 years to reach full size, study finds Tyrannosaurus rex may have taken far longer to grow up than scientists once thought. By analyzing growth rings in fossilized leg bones from 17 tyrannosaur specimens and using new statistical methods, ...

That's because they coddle them too much now. Back in my day, it only took 20 years for T-Rexes to fully mature, because they had discipline. Spare the rod, spoil the terrible tyrant lizard.

If only people had known this when they voted for him.

How dare her!! 🧐🤨

"When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."

Don't worry about it. Michael Tracey said it was all fine and very boring.

Obama? It was Obama wasn't it? Or Biden? Both? Had to be both. Or Hillary. Hillary did it! It all makes sense now!

Youtube commenters don't seem to realize that movies aren't real. It's the damnedest thing.

Oh god, he's not in the files too, is he?

Goddamn, the Marxists are just soooo angry that revolution is in the air and they have never been less relevant.

Well, this aged exactly how I was afraid it would

So, when we said, 6 years ago, that Trump was Hitler —

Were you one of the ones who laughed at us?

Be honest now….

One thing I've learned as a WASP is that if you scratch the surface of any kind of racism, chauvinism or prejudice you'll always, always, always find antisemitism in the primer. At least among Caucasians. It's like medieval antisemitism was the template for post-Roman bigotry.

It's like if Mao's Cultural Revolution was led Birchers and White Citizens Councils.

I don’t understand why people think “many Iranians hate the regime” is a defense of bombing Iran particularly coming from people who hate Trump and live in DC?

I was born into the Cold War. Nuclear war anxiety was so normal for my first three decades I didn't even realize it had until its sudden return during the coup against Gorbachev.

It felt nothing like climate change extinction dread. But it sure feels an awful lot like how I now feel about AI.

"Democrats Won't Commit to Approving More Funds for Iran War."

It just feels like the oligarchs are frantically demanding lowbrow war-drum propaganda in fear and frustration that their investment in control of mainstream and social media platform fails to translate into direct mind-control.

So any you fuckers still want to go with "what have I got to lose?" and "how could it be worse?" again next election or two, or naw?

"All the President's Men" was a warning Nearly 50 years later, the film feels less like a triumphant ode to journalism than a warning about media decay.

Because the Telegraph is owned by a German oligarch rather than an American oligarch.

Oligarchs going to war with oligarchs? Who could have foreseen it?

"I know what do do about your spiraling ratings boss! Let's raise gas prices with an unplanned, unprovoked, objective-free war in an election year! People love that!"

A lot of people in DC are bewildered because they were expecting the incompetence of people like GWB who were ignorant, bigoted and stupid by DC standards from a government staffed by people who are ignorant, bigoted and stupid by the standards of bullies whose lives peaked in high school.

Our initial response to perceived latent threats to our existence or status is aggression. If the aggression makes the latent threat real, oligarchs and courtiers can rally behind weaklings or madmen for years. But when predators and parasites are forced into herding behavior it's never friendly.

That's what I said about Maduro. But I should have known one should never underestimate the durability of a weak and uncharismatic successor who is the only thing standing between everyone else with power and the chop.

Ah yes, the Rite of Self-Exculpation. Right on time. The colorful ritual where they shed guilt and the weight of responsibility by invoking the history of an alternate universe where they were proven right about everything all along.

Russian soldiers returning in defeat to a country still ruled by the same vainglorious fucks who sent conscripts off to redeem the incompetence and corruption of their rulers with blood and suffering. What could go wrong?

Do they say where the tanks for this return to mechanized attacks are going to come from? Have they found some previously overlooked depot of T-38's somewhere to press into service?

Translation: JD Vance is reportedly seeing a path to making the 25th work for him after all, assuming Tulsi doesn't whack him.

Fun fact: Tulsi replaced the DDO last August with a guy with no Wikipedia entry or background info that shows up in top search results on Google.
