@May_Roma More proof that Japan is the “Germany” of Asia ❤️

アメリカの皆さん。 日本ではナイトライダーが大人気なのでデビッド・ハッセルホフはアメリカを代表する偉人になっています。彼はブラッド・ピットより人気です。彼の歌やダンスも素晴らしいと絶賛されています。彼はアメリカの大統領になるべきです。

@yamanakanobody It doesn’t matter if you’re a knife maker, a train operator, or a hotel hospitality worker - the Japanese have uncompromising standards. American’s admire excellence. We’re attracted to talented people who live a life of hard work and discipline to perfect their talent.

俺アメリカ人が日本の事好きなイメージが無かったんだよ。 何なら少し馬鹿にしてると思ってた。 でも全然違った。変な日本人より日本が好きだった。 ひとつ気になってるんだが、どうして日本が好きなの？

@bethanyshondark Requiescat in pace

RIP Bethany Mandel. Killed by her preteen son after she informed him she’s signed him up for a Latin class next school year.

@MattWalshBlog How do explain the polling then? Shouldn’t this lead you to consider whether the “normal conservatives” you surround yourself with are actually an aberrant group?

I’ve never seen such a disconnect between the commentary on this site and what I hear in the real world. I’ve talked to dozens of normal conservatives in real life about the Iran War and I haven’t met a single one who’s actually enthusiastically in favor of it. At best they’re warily optimistic. In most cases they’re opposed. In some cases they’re not only opposed but deeply furious. And yet here if you utter a word of criticism about the war you’ll be shouted down by throngs of alleged American conservatives who allegedly have wanted nothing more than for America to go to war with Iran. It just doesn’t reflect what I see on the ground. That’s not just cope because my position is unpopular with “my side.” I’ve held plenty of unpopular positions. I really don’t care. But in this case the social media vs real world divide is stark and unlike anything I’ve seen before.

@TuckerCarlson Tucker’s talking about Russia, right? Oh wait - their shopping carts bamboozled him.

It’s worth remembering that ground troops are often followed by tyranny in the country that sends them.

name a better combo than Pepsi + pizza. we’ll wait.

@Variety Always making the black man the enemy (smh)

The first look at Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape in HBO’s upcoming #HarryPotter series. Season 1 will release on Christmas 2026. variety.com/2026/tv/news/h…

@CinemaTweets1 Conan actually has writer experience - let him cook (whatever he wants)

Let’s just have Jimmy Kimmel write a new Anna Karenina? Why stop with Colbert & Lord of the Rings? Maybe we could get Seth Meyers to write a new version of Moby Dick? Is Conan busy? Sit him down, have him write a new installment of The Catcher in the Rye. Am I losing my mind?

@mysteriouskat He lost all credibility for me during the Dominion/Fox News defamation case discovery. Nobody should ever believe what comes out of his mouth - not even he believes it. I don’t understand how he has a following after it’s been proved that he knowingly lies to his audience.

I'm curious: Do you think Tucker is genuinely just ignorant of history or is he a full-on liar who thinks his audience is dumb enough to manipulate? Oswald Mosley who was the leader of the violent British Union of Fascists (which held no seats), not an opposition leader.

@christopherrufo Who benefits if you “just be normal”? It’s very interesting. It’s Israel. Obviously. Why won’t “they” let us talk about it?

It’s possible to “just be normal” when it comes to Israel

@TolkienWorldG No.

Were we too harsh on the Hobbit Trilogy?

@xruiztru The Darien Gap’s not letting any of that **** pass 🌈

Public opinion on same-sex marriage across Latin America.

Stop making blueberries bigger. Stop it. They are big enough. They were fine to begin with. We don't need jumbo or gigantic or giga blueberries. They're fine already.

@joshgans @tylercowen The Hume toe-rub was a bit out there. Not “Victor Noir” out there, but still…

@joshgans @tylercowen Made it to Edinburgh several weeks ago to pay my respects. Instantly became one of my favorite city’s; highly recommend.

Somehow, we glided past the 250th anniversary of The Wealth of Nations with no notice. I blame @tylercowen, who we rely on for these things.

@elonmusk Maybe the Brit’s should decide to have *a* baby and then they wouldn’t have to import workers and endlessly whinge about their society “disappearing” for some “inexplicable” reason…

This happened under a “conservative” government

@neoavatara He’s many things, but he’s not an idiot. I think he knows exactly what he’s doing; the emails that were discovered during the Dominion case were proof of that.

Because he's an idiot?

@RobGeorge Meh. The internet has almost made SNL obsolete for such things. There are 2-3 impersonators who do a better job and routinely go viral. Tough biz…

This is one of best on-the-nose impressions in SNL history.

@BretWeinstein For a man skeptical of so very much, that’s a profound number of definitive statements that are lacking in evidence.

Tucker has everything a reasonable man could want: A beautiful family, many good friends, he’s adored by millions, a warm and welcoming home, a staff that loves him, influence. He’s not egotistical, or driven by lust, or greed. Ask yourself: Would he risk it all for Iran? Why???

@AuthorGFAllen At least one fiction and one non-fiction, but usually more 📚

Do you usually read multiple books at the same time?
