“Arabs don’t produce literature” is really something you can only say if you’ve never had a moment’s contact with genuine civilization. A mind totally consumed by television and self-help books.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Novel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

I’ve seen people saying he just didn’t know the etymology of the word percent. He literally says, “I didn’t know it was always out of a hundred.”
“I’m not a big numbers and percentage person though, unless they make sense to me.” Well…

I’ve asked this before but is there any historical event that is like the Opposite of 9/11. Like something so good that happened that it changed the world forever

Jordan Klepper is so damn good at his job. These people agree with Talarico but the Texas GOP has screwed their minds up so badly that they can't agree to it even when it's right there in front of them.
.@jordanklepper finds out that Texans have more in common with James Talarico than they'd like to admit. Jordan's new special, Red Flags, premieres tonight after The Daily Show at 11:30pm ET on Comedy Central

Davram Steifler: “What do you like so much about Donald Trump?”

Trump supporter: “Everything. He does what he says” DS: “The war in Ukraine, he said he was gonna end it on day one” TS: “I don’t know that much about it. I didn’t hear him say it” DS: “What policies do you think are gonna help Americans in the next couple years?” TS: “Not gonna talk about that cause I don’t really know that much”

"I just think Alaskans are kind of dumb" is a strong closing message.
Q: Why shouldn't Alaskans find it insulting that the administration is suggesting they can't read the word 'incumbent' on their ballot and know to vote for Sen. Sullivan? JD VANCE: People are busy. People have lives. People have jobs.

Strong #Boston connection here: She was married to Dick Ebersol and — with the help of the Red Sox and many others — helped create the Teddy Ebersol Red Sox Fields on the Esplanade.

Holy moly, this DHS stooge was NOT ready for primetime on Sunday night. He also said we should be "thankful" the president is keeping us safe.

"Minogue is already the biggest self-funder to ever seek statewide office in Massachusetts, and, in September, he set a new high mark for spending in a single month by a gubernatorial candidate. But while he’s raised roughly $2.5 million from donors, he’s also draining his campaign account almost as quickly as he’s filling it. The precisely $18,169,574 the GOP nominee for governor has reported spending since he entered the race last October comes out to about $46,469 spent per day over the course of his campaign to date." bostonglobe.com/2026/10/27/n… #mapoli #magov

I remember thinking that developing the Covid vaccine was going to be this world unifying event but I didn't realize that the dumbest people we went to high school with had been doing their own research.
I’ve asked this before but is there any historical event that is like the Opposite of 9/11. Like something so good that happened that it changed the world forever

Who could've guessed the joke would've baited Trump into spending the last week of the election talking more about his White House renovations?
A butthurt Trump copes by defending the Cheesecake Factory: "I fix things very good, very beautifully and I always build beautiful and inexpensive... He said, this isn't a Cheesecake Factory, can you believe it, which is a very successful company... He doesn't like successful companies"

Besides being an abhorrent display of bigotry, it's also just factually wrong.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Novel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
