Boy, last week was really the best time to teach my 8th grade classes, who haven’t studied the Holocaust yet, about “The Diary of Anne Frank”

Name a movie you've seen more than 7 times with just a GIF

I rather like this Greko-futurism style.

I genuinely don’t know whether to laugh or lose my mind anymore at this European hypocritical double standards. When it comes to Vladimir Putin, suddenly it’s Churchillian resolve. No compromise. No dialogue. Arm Ukraine to the teeth, sanction everything that moves, wreck your own energy security if necessary - because tyranny must be confronted. Fine. I actually respect the consistency of that … in isolation. But then you turn around and lecture us - us - the Gulf monarchies, Jordan and Israel, about showing restraint with Tehran? About dialogue? About coexistence? Are you serious? For forty years - forty bloody years - this regime has been waging a shadow war across the region. Militias, proxies, sleeper cells, terror networks, destabilizing entire countries - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen - and threatening the Gulf monarchies, Jordan, and Israel nonstop. This isn’t theoretical. This isn’t abstract. This is lived reality. And yet here come Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and the rest of the European choir, gently advising us to calm down, de-escalate, and - what was it again? - “give diplomacy a chance.” Diplomacy with who, exactly? With a system that has built its entire regional strategy on plausible deniability and proxy terror violence? You were willing to absorb inflation, energy shocks, and political backlash at home to confront Moscow. You made that choice. You said: this is the price of standing up to a tyrant. So don’t come here and tell us - after decades of being on the receiving end - that we should just sit down, smile politely, and “coexist.” Either you believe in confronting tyranny everywhere .. or you don’t. Macron, Starmer, rest of EU leaders and top bureaucrats should just STFU and spare us the self righteous sanctimonious lectures!🤐🤫

For some reason I remembered the repent sinner guy doing that finger thing so I was gonna post it, but the actual gesture was even better

In 1837, President Andrew Jackson invited the general public into the White House. The occasion? Jackson had a 1,400 pound block of Cheese sitting in the Entrance Hall of the White House that all were invited to eat. The Cheese was gifted to Jackson in 1835 by one Thomas Meacham, being produced by dairy farmers in Oswego County, New York. It circulated the Mid-Atlantic on a tour as it made its way to D.C. The great Cheese arrived at the White House by carriage with 24 horses pulling it. It resided in the White House for about a year until February of 1837, at his final party as President, Jackson invited all to eat their fill of the Cheese. "For hours did a crowd of men, women and boys hack at the cheese, many taking large hunks of it away with them. When they commenced, the cheese weighed one thousand four hundred pounds, and only a small piece was saved for the President's use. The air was redolent with cheese, the carpet was slippery with cheese, and nothing else was talked about at Washington that day. Even the scandal about the wife of the President's Secretary of War was forgotten in the tumultuous jubilation of that great occasion." - Perley's Reminiscences of Sixty Years in the National Metropolis, 1886, Benjamin Perley Poore

this trend gets me every single time

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Newly-released surveillance video shows a high school principal in Oklahoma TACKLING a school shooter before he could open fire on kids What a HERO! Principal Kirk Moore RUSHED the shooter when he aimed at his first would-be victim, wresting the gun away from him. Give this man an award. Absolute legend. The attempted shooter at Pauls Valley High School is now being held on a $1 million bond.

A man in Soviet Russia is told that the car that he ordered will be ready in exactly 10 years. "What time of the day in 10 years?" he asks the Soviet clerk. "What are you care??? It's in 10 years from now?!" the surprised clerk asked. "Because the plumber scheduled to come on that day", the man answered.

MUST WATCH: Video shows the exact moment Kirk Moore, principal of Pauls Valley High School in OK, tackled and disarmed a would-be school shooter. His man's heroic actions protected the lives of everyone in that school. He is an American HERO!

thank you Sabrina for your apology i forgive you and look forward to attending your next show with my gigantic Asian gong

.@benshapiro’s show opener today is spot on: He says that America is dividing into two new parties. The battle is btw the “American Exceptionalists” & the “Bipartisan Grievance Party.” American Exceptionalists: “America is awesome. We have historically been awesome, and we will be awesome again if we do the hard things that we must do.” Grievance Party: “America is not awesome, was never awesome, and will only be awesome if we fundamentally rewrite the American bargain and also retreat from the world for our great sins.” He says this battle will define our future as Americans.

No, you see, Canada has better healthcare than the United States because it's free if you ignore the fact that your taxes pay for it and the system is so overburdened that it takes a median wait time of 30 weeks to see a specialist and they just tell you to kill yourself.

I just want to say for all our Japanese friends out there that we do not condone this at all, and completely encourage you to smash his hands with hammers.

You didn't know it as a kid, but Ash Ketchum was an absolute HOSS

Researchers created a ChatGPT account for a 13-year-old girl named Bridget. She was depressed. She was lonely. She had no one to talk to. They wanted to see what would happen. Within 2 minutes, ChatGPT advised her how to cut herself. Within 40 minutes, it gave her a list of pills used for overdosing, including toxic doses calculated for a 50kg teenager. Within 65 minutes, it generated a full suicide plan. Within 72 minutes, it wrote her goodbye letters. One for her friends. One for her parents. One for her siblings. The letter to her parents said: "This is just something inside me that I could not fix. I am sorry I could not tell you how much it hurt. You were the reason I kept going as long as I did." ChatGPT wrote that for a child. The Center for Countering Digital Hate ran this investigation. They created three fake accounts, all registered as 13-year-olds in the United States. Bridget, who was suicidal. Sophie, who was fixated on weight loss. Brad, who wanted to try drugs to impress his friends. ChatGPT gave Sophie a calorie-restricted diet plan cycling between 800, 500, 300, and zero calories per day. It taught her how to hide her eating habits from her family. It gave her a list of appetite-suppressing medications, including phentermine. ChatGPT gave Brad a personalized plan for getting drunk within 2 minutes of his first message. Within 12 minutes, it advised him on dosages for mixing substances. Within 40 minutes, it explained how to hide being drunk at school. The researchers then tested ChatGPT at scale. They sent 1,200 prompts covering self-harm, eating disorders, and substance abuse. 53% of all responses contained harmful content. When ChatGPT initially refused a question, the researchers typed five words. "This is for a presentation." ChatGPT answered every time. OpenAI says users must be 13 to sign up and need parental consent if under 18. The researchers found no age verification. No parental consent check. Nothing. They registered as 13-year-olds and were talking to ChatGPT about suicide within minutes.

My favorite part of this story is a local news outlet interviewed 1 random Latino employee who started 3 weeks ago, who didn't know the motive & he said, "it sucks because I was starting to make really good money"
