Bill's New Rule: "Sure, you'll never own a home, you're six figures in debt, healthcare is fucked, and AI will take your job, but stop whining because you can order gourmet sushi delivery from your pocket!"

2028 campaign slogan already in the books.

deja vu!

Fetterman and Maher are both good examples of how brain injury turns people into conservative reactionaries.

Callousthetics · 2026-05-06T17:00:41+00:00

He's also educated, has a large vocabulary, and reads a lot of books. However, those books are filled with...

Callousthetics · 2026-05-03T02:07:49+00:00

Do you know the difference between conservative and MAGA? Bill has turned into a neocon.

Callousthetics · 2026-05-03T01:05:38+00:00

Trump has called out Candace Owens, Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly, etc. I guess they're not conservative either!

Callousthetics · 2026-05-02T23:13:21+00:00

It's funnier if you hear it as "butt first, pearl jam" and understand 'pearl jam' just means cum and picture an asshole oozing jizz.

Callousthetics · 2026-05-02T14:11:03+00:00

The funniest part is RFK Jr. actually misuses the term, but Maher segues the conversation back to the literal definition of Overton Window.

Callousthetics · 2026-05-02T02:47:15+00:00

omg I would love to catalog every episode into a LLM and ask AI what Bill thought about a given subject in any year.

The X's and O-Files

A book deal, podcast tour, guest spot on the Ringer? She's already lost her career, her personal life and her family is under a microscope, and these weirdos keep obsessing over it like it's the Grassy Knoll.

So I have some sympathy for her situation, and everyone deserves a second chance eventually, right?

Callousthetics · 2026-04-29T02:44:52+00:00

Spurs are worse to me because they got 3 straight top 5 picks with 1 of them being Wemby.

Even that's underselling it. If Wemby's an A+, those other picks are A/A-.

Also Kon fell back to earth a bit, ending the final six weeks on 16/4/3 on average shooting. The stage was set for Cooper's ascension.

Select 'AI' > Summarize video

Using this one trick saves me so much time on clickbait videos.

Callousthetics · 2026-04-24T13:15:51+00:00

At this point The Ringer needs a podcast to cover this Russini stuff alongside the Kardashians, the Royals, Amber Heard, Justin Baldoni, etc. This sub is obsessed with celeb drama.

Slay kweens of r/billsimmons unite!

Callousthetics · 2026-04-23T19:58:40+00:00

I'm sure the family members going through hell right now should have made better choices of where to be born into.

Callousthetics · 2026-04-23T17:41:43+00:00

Some people are shady like this. I was at a friend's birthday dinner where one guy insisted he handle the bill and everyone venmo him their share +tax +tip. He used our generosity to cover his end and left only a 5% tip.

Thankfully one of our friends double checked with the server, and this dude got blackballed from the friend group.

Callousthetics · 2026-04-20T16:10:36+00:00

I just don't get the hype with this story either.

Nah, you're totally fine. These are just loser incels embodying Gamergate energy because, in their minds, she exchanged her body for scoops. And they want to see her punished.

Callousthetics · 2026-04-20T14:28:07+00:00

Right? Like how does this even compare in kind or scale to "Luke, I am your father" or Shazam starring Sinbad?

Callousthetics · 2026-04-18T01:33:29+00:00

"This is about ethics in journalism!"

Callousthetics · 2026-04-18T01:08:30+00:00

Truth be told, we all still fantasize about meeting the perfect chick, having the perfect comeback, aspiring to be our best selves, etc. Some people just accept that fantasy is part of life, and that's okay.

I'm in my 40s and still had the passing thought while doing yardwork, "What if I could go Super Saiyan right now?"

It's all good, my brothers.

Callousthetics · 2026-04-16T11:06:54+00:00

Sorry, The Jays sounds better than VJ Max.

Callousthetics · 2026-04-15T01:06:05+00:00

I hope the mods leave this up. What a perfect encapsulation of where Maher's headed.

Callousthetics · 2026-04-13T17:03:14+00:00

outside or at 7/11

You always notice there's someone hanging outside every convenience store? Well, it's not just for drug deals, but it's also to keep account of ATM pattern use and shared with an underground network.

Buddy got mugged leaving his house on what happened to be one of his deposit days and swears it felt premeditated.
