Y'all when I say I thought this could not get funnier... h/t @sarahkelly.bsky.social

If you’re rage tweeting about the Pope, you’re fu@king losing, and losing badly. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Food for thought: In '24, 245M Americans were eligible to vote. just 73.6 % of those (174M) registered to vote. just 154M of them actually voted. US voter turnout ranked in bottom 1/3 of all democracies. This is how democracy dies. Too many people have taken too much for granted for too long

Final review of Savannah Bananas: highly entertaining and they've got the show down to science. The players are decent to good at baseball but experts in fan engagement. The 2 hour max is brilliant and keeps it from being a chore to watch a full game. Fans in every part of the stadium were engaged.

"This is a new piece, it reflects feelings of neglect, abandonment and broken promises. I call it "WHERE'S MY FUCKING DINNER '"

Wild how the outrage machine always picks the smallest spark and ignores the actual fire.

ICONIC

Look I understand the Catholic church has a bajillion problems, but with my whole heart: Fuck him up Leo.

I do not have the capacity to forgive the people who voted for this. I don’t. It’s no longer in my skill set. If that makes me a vindictive bitch, so be it.

I doubt that Pope Leo XIV will lose any sleep over this, before he begins his pilgrimage to Africa tomorrow. But the rest of us should. Because it is unhinged, uncharitable and unchristian. Is there no bottom to this moral squalor?

The President needs a mental wellness check.

He's signaling to the evangelicals that they can go back to hating us Papists now. Job's done.

Time for the Democrats and Independents to wake up. You work on behalf of the owners of the United States of America, THE PEOPLE.

In the history of American politics, no one has ever suspended their campaign over false allegations.

Magyar, closing his speach, now calling for accountability for those who turned on Hungarians. Refusing to be a country w/o consequences.

Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.

Cleaning out a closet today with my old Rock Mix playlist pumping into my ears. And here's Bob Seger, groanin' and growlin' like the Detroit bluesman that he is under that rocker outfit. Sing it, Bobby!!!

Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger.

A little tip for the cinema: choose a subtitled showing, even when you don't actually need them. Having them on-screen is a small price to pay for what will highly likely be a near-empty showing.

Orban is not conceding because he's honourable. He's conceding because his defeat is so comprehensive even he can't pretend he won.

Taking refuge🪷

I no longer consider the GOP a legitimate political party. The President is a terrorist, a traitor, and guilty of so many repugnant crimes that it's hard to keep track, and yet Republicans can't find it in themselves to remove or even criticize him. We pay these people, but they do nothing for us.

Viktor Orbán has conceded his loss!!

We can all learn a lot from the (many young!) people of Hungary who have protested peacefully for years and who turned out in high numbers to vote their candidate and his party into power tonight! And this despite the fact that Orbán had backing from BOTH Russia and the USA! Well done, Hungary!! ✨

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal. Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

Like, there's a reason Netanyahu's son was out there working the campaign trail for Orban as much as Vance was.

Fuck off outta here forever Orbán, and may you find the jail cell you deserve

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

Pssssst. *Far-right authoritarians can be defeated.* Tell your friends. (And WELL DONE, HUNGARY.)

It will be interesting to see if Magyar works to break up Hungarian media and restore journalism there. #Hungary

#slavaUkraini This is very good news.

May Victor Orbán simply be the first in a string of countries engaging in overdue housecleaning by kicking their authoritarian leaders to the curb.

👋🏻

Magyar's report of an Orbán concession in English.

The best way to make things more affordable? Raise the people’s wages.

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...

BREAKING: BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) - Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán concedes defeat after 'painful' election result, ending 16 years in power.

you know it'd be really nice if the media started reporting on the fact that the president is genuinely out of his goddamn mind and is holding the world in a hostage situation about it

In his strongest words yet, Pope Leo XIV on Saturday denounced the “delusion of omnipotence” that is fueling the U.S.-Israel war in Iran and demanded political leaders stop and negotiate peace.

We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he cannot fully articulate, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender. Reminder that Congress can step up and stop this.

Something ancient and wonderful for the weekend! A tiny horse figurine carved from mammoth ivory about 40,000 years ago! Imagine the #IceAge artist at work, sitting by the warmth of a fire, creating what is the world’s oldest known figure of a horse! 📷 by me #Archaeology

has just occurred to me that chicago pope is still a us citizen and would technically be eligible to be president

Seven countries now generate 100% of their electricity from renewable sources, proving the transition is not theoretical but already operational. The barrier is no longer technology, but political will, investment priorities, and the courage to move faster.

Well…guess my thought of including Claire was wrong🤦🏻‍♀️ Diana’s FB on Season 8, Ep 6 Fan: I loved the fact that an 18th-century warrior accepted his wife’s 20th-century ideas about empowering women.” Diana: It wasn't (for once...) Claire's Cool Modern Idea. “ “

More scritches please 🤗

The ideal political system is one in which any politician of any party is entirely disposable at a moment's notice. If they're not a criminal, worst thing that can happen is that they need to go get a job.

I just need y’all to know that the Savannah Bananas brought Bill Belichick out on the field during the game tonight and he got booed not once, but twice LMAOOOO

The first American leader of the Catholic Church has fiercely criticized the war in Iran, deepening tensions between the United States and the Vatican.

Well put:
