I just want you to know that Zohran is really scary so you should definitely leave now that he’s won. Right away. Especially if you’re currently renting a 2-bedroom in north Park Slope or the Upper West side off the 2/3 express. So scary!!! You better break that lease fast.

So is Andrew Mountbatten Windsor (currently 8th) and his daughters Beatrice (9th, then her daughters) and Eugenie (12th, then sons) still in the royal line of succession? Are Beatrice and Eugenie still Princesses? Asking as a potential showrunner for a THE CROWN/DESIGNATED SURVIVOR crossover.

"Dear Sir, Your good name has been bought to my attention as a trustworthy man and a believer in God. I am the son of the late Queen Elizabeth II, ruler of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. My mother left me forty-five million pounds and the city of York but I am unable ..."

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage. The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn. No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Without being bombed is crazy work

This photo accompanying a news story about the heist at the Louvre is perfection.

tfw your 1,000-word tweets aren't working

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

i made this a couple days ago bc of a dumb headline but it’s proving rather evergreen

Disney reportedly lost 1.7 million paid subscribers in the week after suspending Kimmel www.engadget.com/entertainmen...

They say if you ever wondered what you’d have done in 1930’s Germany, it’s what you’re doing now. Apparently I’d be the guy going “*Two L’s in “kristallnacht”, dumbass.”

The key to understanding Pete Hegseth is just asking yourself this question: "What would the worst O3 I ever met do in this situation"

"More than a million people had canceled Disney streaming subscriptions as of Monday, the Disney source told me, and the company likely knew that trend would only continue the longer they kept Kimmel silenced." @marisakabas.bsky.social w/ a doozy. 👀

Was the fall of Rome this stupid? I spoke to Revolutions and History of Rome host @mikeduncan.bsky.social about the decline of empires, and the unraveling of America. Full interview at @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

don't underestimate how daunting this task will be, two centuries from now after the internet is gone, when all the data we unquestionably put in the cloud evaporated, the silicon-based electronic storage devices degraded or lost, Windows, Linux and Python languages dead and forgotten

“Charlie Kirk in His Own Words” 17 quotes you should read from the right-wing activist and Trump ally who was tragically shot and killed on Wednesday in Utah.

Two important things: 1. The show is REALLY good. 2. Stars Hollow compact, walkable, nice urbanism is de facto illegal in most of CT due to parking mandates and stupid zoning rules.

So glad ICE is in Chicago. The city is a lawless hell-scape. Blues musicians wrecking hundreds of police cars. High schoolers doing weird scientific sex experiments. Kids home alone during the holidays. Women killing their husbands and lovers and then SINGING about it sassily. This has to stop.

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

Dearest Martha, The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover. Yours in glaze,

CEO on LinkedIn: "I don't screen for credentials, I screen for passion. I don't look at degrees, I look at dedication. I don't see prior experience, I see positive potential." Candidate: "Amazing! And what does your outsourced HR software filter for?" CEO: "Oh credentials, degrees and experience."

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

"It's not MSNBC anymore, Lemon. It's MS NOW. We bought the name off of a defunct multiple sclerosis awareness organization. It wasn't cheap, but we were able to save some money by selling Brian Williams to a Saudi prince who wanted to expand his harem."

I know what they think they're doing here, but they are actually conveying that 9 agents decided they'd work together to...make a little video about how they went out to take down a mean paper sign

me as a kid: wow I can't wait until we have robots and computers for everything me now: if this toaster makes me download an app I am slipping out into the night to start a new life as a mysterious figure occasionally glimpsed in the fog

Would 100% watch a sitcom in which Cuomo and Dershowitz end up roommates, Dershowitz is denied a pierogi every episode in exactly the same way, and Cuomo runs for successively lower-stakes office each week, only to lose again.

So what states would you like to see rise from the fallen ashes of the US empire? I, for one, am a Long Chile guy.

“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell

More than 25 years ago, Michel Guyot, the owner of a French château, launched an experimental castle-building project. Collected here are images of workers using tools and techniques from the 13th century to complete most of Guédelon Castle:

no, monks can't fly, you're probably thinking of air friars

There will come a day when we’ll delete the air raid app there will come a day when we’ll delete the air raid app there will come a day when we’ll delete the air raid app there will come a da

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Second look at strange women lying in ponds distributing swords as basis for government?

A major donor to Andrew Cuomo’s SuperPAC says he is likely to support Zohran Mamdani and he admits that he donated $250k to the SuperPAC because Cuomo is corrupt. Via NYT

*Democratic Party hastily commissions a study to figure out why so many people preferred the attractive, energetic, charismatic guy with the fun name to the disgraced vampire*

US defenses intercept Islamic Republic of Iran missiles in Qatar.

The veto of HB5002 a 🧵1/ a lot If only we gathered a group of municipal leaders and both sides of the aisle, and advocates and listened to experts . . . Spent six months on the Majority Leader’s Round Table learning how best to move forward in the 2nd most constrained housing market in the country.

All I want to hear out of Democrats is that we had a deal and no bomb. Then Trump tore it up and he is now putting American lives in danger. That’s it.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

THIRD AMENDMENT PATRIOTS, HOLD FAST.

Checking in at the protests

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

I dislike the characterization that Les Miserables is about armed rebellion against a tyrannical king, though that is part of the plot. What it's more about is how true Christian morality is often not reflected in civilian laws which perpetuate oppression. This point will also be missed by Trump.
