There is another wording for "efforts to reduce the foreign-born population"

ZOMG she's SO CLOSE to getting it!

Good luck booking a year's worth of Kiss, Ted Nugent, and monster truck shows.

It looks like Epstein is occasionally showing up in the Trump files.

The guy who put a 19 year old named Big Balls in charge of gutting key government services: “experience matters when lives are at stake”

I don't bother asking, "What type of person is Stephen Miller?" because I don't waste time contemplating the qualities of monsters. I do, however, ask what type of person MARRIES Stephen Miller. Like, you can see what he is, right?

His mother wrote on my 5-year-old's white board, "You are my sunshine." So, I wrote, "You are my bum shine." So, HE drew picture of a bum in jeans and wrote, "Get it?" We're raising him right.

I foolishly gave my 5-year-old ice cream before bed, so he was yammering away all night. Here's a taste: "Dada, how does Santa see in space? Wait, he's wearing white, which is bright. That's how he sees. What do the astronauts think? This is me as an astronaut: 'That's not Santa. That's a comet!'"

My 5-year-old told me about a dream he recently had. He and Mama had bought a Christmas tree, but it fell off the car and was rolling down the street. Then DONALD TRUMP tried to steal that tree, so they called the cops, who ARRESTED HIM.

My 5-year-old shows one of this little friends his new globe: "That's the USA. We can't go there for another 4 years because we don't like Donald Trump."

What happened to US journalism? The 4th estate was supposed to be democracy's secret weapon against the rise of tyranny. According to Wikipedia, 36% of US journalists identify as Democrats, with only 3-4% as Republicans, and 13% "leaning Right." So plurality must be "centrist", right? Thread [1/7]

Dear Universe, Closing out 2025 w the most highly anticipated obit ever would be amazing. Thank you for your attention to this matter. XO -The Entire Free World

I've been trying to imagine the last days of the Worst People in the World. Donald Trump: dies while still President, in the comfort of a bed with lots of drugs, but silently hated by everyone in the room, all of whom do a subtle fist pump when the monitors go flat. Thread [1/5]

And yet I know many nonwhite people supporting this murderous cabal. I have a special flavour of disdain for that category of disappointing human.

I asked ChatGPT to estimate how many jobs Peter Thiel has created. Answer: around 9000. I also asked how many jobs a typical Fortune 500 company creates. Answer: 10K-300K. Peter Thiel can fuck off.

Show me! Show me! Show me!

A metaphor for the US body politic.

JFC. It's impressive that Joe has built this enormous platform and pretty much invented long form podcasting. Good for him. But that's where his specialness ends. Can we please stop caring what he thinks about anything? I say this as someone who was once invited onto his show.

Four children who inherited their wealth and a crypto entrepreneur who went to prison. That’s…a look.

People need to stop saying, "This is not who we are." This is exactly who we are, and we need to stop being that.

Pee Wee Himler seems to think these things were done without immigrant labour and expertise.

Question I get: "The world shut down for COVID. Why isn't it shutting down for this serious flu season?" Lots of reasons. One of them is that H3N2 IFR (infection fatality rate) is 0.03-0.1%, while pre-vaccine COVID IFR was 0.7-0.9%. That difference is enormous when paired with contagiousness.

So... Trump's evil. Is it nature or nurture?

Europe needs to step up before Trump gives Putin one half of Ukraine then takes the other half for himself. 😡

Absolute Fing traitor

Behold, 10 minute vegan Bolognese, made from tomato sauce, pea protein, sweet paprika, Jaggery, red wine, Italian seasoning, onions and garlic.

I love this country and have worked all my life to better it. But if the infection south of the border spreads here, I will have to give serious thought to where in the world my family would be safe. These are rational conversations being had all over North America by minorities of all stripes.

I'm here to talk about magical Irish villages that only appear once every hundred years. That's right. Brigadoonscrolling.

This is an actual photo of me.

I decided July 1st to become a reader and since then, I’ve read 25 books or nearly 9,000 pages 🥳 The year before, I read maybe four books

Y’all might not appreciate it, but it took him 87 moves and 14 hours to get here

My mother-in-law has invited me to play pickleball, which I'm quite excited by. However first I have to sit in my freezing car and wait for all the ice to defrost. Sometimes life in Canada can be quite inconvenient.

Excellent video on the trans Atlantic slave trade. Tired of people making exhausting comments like, "The Irish slave trade was worse" or "Africans enslaved each other" or "Why are you still talking about this ancient history"? Then this video is a Godsend. youtu.be/GrYRPLy6g2g?...

About 15 years ago, I was doing a public book signing when a wide-eyed woman from the audience came up to me to say, "You're like a brown Jude Law." I want that on my tombstone, people.

Happy 14th anniversary to this youtube video

His uncle: "What are your 5 favourite words?" My 5-year-old: "Poop, poopoo, poo, peepee, anus." *some amused snickering* My 5-year-old: "And here's a bonus word: penis."

When I was a kid, I told my parents to change my name to "Ray" from "Raywat" because I was tired of the endless racist taunts from assholes. Years later, when I got my first book deal, I insisted on always being called "Raywat" because that's my fucking name, and my name is a gift from my parents.

Congress should not let up on contempt for Bondi. They must bring her b4 committee, under oath. Except this time when she starts with her CRAP, they must be prepared to have the Sgt. At Arms, put her in cuffs. Period.

If we're serious about climate change, we should invest in thorough high-speed train infrastructure. Let the trucks have the highways. Yes, it's pricey. But imagine the positive social transformation.

These psychos will give more rights to a fancy toaster than they will to a flesh-and-blood human being who happens to be born on the wrong side of an imaginary line.

Do people get it yet that these psychopaths are bombing random civilians all over the place?

Having post-Christmas leftovers. Here's my vegan sister's mushroom wellington with cranberry sauce.
