As the great Eddie Andelman would say, wake me up when he checks in for his eternal dirt nap.

I mean, "Great Wall" was *right there*, but waaaay above his capacity.

Republicans called Tim Walz a queen and then Lindsey Graham was spotted in Fantasyland with a bubblewand and Kristi Noem’s husband flaunted his big unnaturals. Sometimes the universe just works.

Trump has made the Kennedy Center into the moral equivalent of playing Sun City during apartheid.

Caught up with latest #simpsons damn was a noteable one, so here are the notes: @mikepriceinla.bsky.social @roboliver.bsky.social Great foreshadowing of Skinner's parenting in his critiques of H&M! 🎯 Skinner-isms: Room-temp Mr Pibb, Schumer collection, showing license after bumpercar bump, “Meet...

Matt Gaetz's OAN producer Vish Burra deleted wildly antisemitic tweets and videos he shared earlier today, which showed a "Scheming Room" with a Star of David that depicted Jews as cockroaches who burned and ran when exposed to light. I've asked OAN president Charles Herring and Gaetz for comment.
