Polythene Pam: A Fake Plastic Trees Mystery

The Good, the Bad, the Ugly, and Grogu

“Double bogey, best hole of the day! Who is filling out the scorecards?” Me, whose caddy is Jesse Ventura: “The Body keeps the score”

I zig when they zag. I yinz when they jawn

Using Pharisee as a slur is rooted in antisemitism thought Par for the course for a Christian nationalist

I don’t think most politicians and people in public health are fully understanding the amount of anger building up towards anti-vaxxers, especially among the parents of infants and small children.

I think this may be a big test of whether we continue on as a union.

We are living through the era of the evil adult boy

Of the 10 people mentioned by name in Bob Dylan's I Shall Be Free only Sophia Loren (91) and Bob himself (84) are now still alive

You all have to stop pretending people are protecting Bill Clinton. You’re playing the magat game where you attack Clinton and accuse peope of protecting him in order to distract us. There’s an actual, proven child rapist we can attack. His name is Trump. Snap out of it.

we have a president who only does good things when everyone calls him a pedophile. our mission for the next 3 years is clear.

The solution is obvious, a constitutional amendment to elect the AG separately. Or at least, that's more likely than a depoliticized DOJ going forward under the next GOP president.

Decades of Twitter have made children terse with their jokes, mindful of character count limits. They no longer laboriously say "Why was six afraid of seven?". They quickly convey the important parts, "six seven".

NO DRAB GAB TUESDAY

If any blue state governor had the juice, they’d reach out to all the teachers purged in the doxxing frenzy (they are nearly all in red states) and offer them jobs in their state’s schools

They are trying to make it illegal to be liberal in America, because they hate free speech, hate the Constitution, and are a bunch of authoritarian scumbags

Has any Democratic leader said anything about the right’s all-out assault on the First Amendment?

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

the day someone mixed brussels sprouts with bacon

Already being forced to play the plane game at a normal pace because I keep getting my ass whupped in battles and thus cannot attain coins

I didn’t start out thinking there was some genuinely incriminating info about Trump in the DOJ files on Epstein but I’m definitely changing my mind!

No one “fell for” anything in this case though! USAID’s work is broadly popular and Elon Musk decided to destroy it because he believes in a conspiracy theory. You don’t need to both-sides this, sometimes stupid and evil people do bad things.

When do CA, MA, NY and IL create, like, the CAMAILNY committee on vaccines and staff it with, like, actual doctors?

Legitimately starting to suspect the newsoids are experiencing a psychological crisis grappling with the future they made and are desperately trying to construct a reality where it is not their fault.

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

Democrats need non-chump consultants.

It wasn't Trump that the 2024 swing voters wanted back, but John Kelly, Steve Mnuchin and Gary Cohn.

Trump take nest egg

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Blue/Purple/Red states that believe in science have to have their State Health Departments work together (or with Canada/EU) to create a CDC/FDA like agency that can define annual flu vaccine protocol for a large population to encourage vaccine makers and have rapid disease response capabilities.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

important to remember that trump take egg, but also, trump make planes crash

HARD TIMES create DEMOCRATS DEMOCRATS create GOOD TIMES GOOD TIMES create REPUBLICANS REPUBLICANS create HARD TIMES

It’s dramatically crazier than the Iraq War! It’s “the mad king has made his heir a horse” territory - unhinged, fronting, delusional. It’s like what a six-year-old would do as president

before tiktok, before bluesky, before twitter, before meta, before it all, there were sewers. after all, there will be sewers.

There's a bizarre and ongoing mainstream effort to launder RFK Jr into someone who just wants to get Americans eating nutritious food and exercising again but that is not evidenced anywhere in his public statements or career in public life. He is a liar and conspiracist.

grandpa's brain is melting and he's easily manipulated by anyone who happens to be in the room with him. like many dementia-suffering seniors, he liked hegseth because he's a character that Trump remembers seeing on his teevee screen.
