Lume and Grogu may be one of the worst movies of all time. I hope to never think of it again.

NEW: The tobacco company Reynolds American donated $5M to the Trump-backed super PAC MAGA Inc. on 4/30/2026. 8 days later, the Trump administration rolled out a new policy that could be very lucrative for Reynolds by allowing it to begin selling flavored vapes.

Lots of ways Donald Trump is trying to kill people. The way he's most likely to kill most of us and the people we love? By uninsuring us.

Breaking news from the Axios foreign bureau desk, Berlin, Germany, circa 1938. Intelligence information shared by those close to Adolph Hitler suggest Czech forces might respond to German attempts to seize the Sudetenland. This information could become a pretext for Herr Hitler to invade.

Music starts in 15 minutes DC friends!

Is the sound at Turner Hall in MKE usually this shitty?

“We’re going to flood the zone. You’re going to see more ICE agents [than] you ever seen before.” The time to get whistles into the hands of your community is right now. We will send you whistles, for free, in quantities of 100-thousands. We do it every day. linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

The poor guy was misled. He believed they were holding couches against their will in the hotel basement.

Trump is about to hit REM on camera during an Oval Office event. It's just incredible.

Just wasted 2.5 hours of my life watching Operation Dumbo Drop.

It’s a telling indicator of media desensitization that the US government’s ongoing program of murder on the high seas—which according to the perpetrators has killed fourteen (14) people this week— is no longer a subject for much serious or sustained news coverage.

Breaking: Rep. Eric Swalwell says he's suspending his campaign for governor. "To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that's my fight, not a campaign's."

Bye Vic

Every election post tonight is like "Wow the Democrats won the mayoralty in Racismville. Trump didn't just win Racismville but all of Klan-Guntruck County by 42."

Breaking News: Chris Taylor won a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, widening liberal control of the court to a 5-to-2 majority.

CHICAGO!! TOMORROW!!

It’s pretty interesting to compare Easter messages from political leaders and then consider which ones the media treats as being out of the mainstream or dangerous

Tonight, he finally became our President.

If the stakes weren't so high and the human toll wasn't so awful, it would be genuinely very funny how little of a shit Trump gives about any part of his job that isn't renovations or rigging elections. The most obviously checked out dude in history.

How can this go on for another 3 years?

So Austin Bergstrom is precisely the shitshow I feared it would be.

40 MINUTES TIL POLLS CLOSE. As always, if you’re waiting in line to vote, STAY IN LINE.

Tomorrow is my last day at SXSW, and my last chance to get funding for my Police Academy II musical.

I ate a salad for lunch in Austin during SXSW. What kind of monster have I become?

Out of office message is officially on and now to go home and pack for what may be the last SXSW Music ever.

"Let’s not bury the lede here: The DoD wants to use AI for fully autonomous lethal systems and mass surveillance of American citizens. Anthropic said 'no,' and now the US government is retaliating by trying to destroy it." — @lizdye.bsky.social

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

I think it’s apparent now that rock n’ roll did not, in fact, save the world.

Ah, I see, the yellowcake was in Iran all along.

Remember, when news outlets first reported that Kash Patel was spending $75,000 of taxpayer money to fly an FBI Gulfstream jet to Milan so he could watch Olympic hockey, the official spokesasshole for the FBI had this to say:

I got this amazing Japanese knife set for only 75 cents.

Four months in jail because *her mom* overstayed a visa while applying for a green card. I’m sitting next to my 9-year-old daughter right now and the idea that anyone would put her in jail at all for something like that…no words

The Trump regime is creating a Nazi propaganda sanctuary whilst pretending to care about antisemitism

My friend @ricksteves.bsky.social calls out MAGA’s lies and policies that are eroding democratic norms, including how federal budget choices are shifting wealth from working people to the rich. Watch in the link below. #EndPoverty #PovertyAbolitionists #DefendDemocracy

Don’t let anyone try to convince you herpes is a good time.

This is some genuinely psycho shit...

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed in your anus.

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

It’s always darkest just before the da
