Doctors would have been there to sedate him and fit him for his straightjacket.

If the Hague stepped in and detained Trump right now, or, you know, any law enforcement from any of the countries he is harassing, I would not bat an eye or make a peep in protest. Maybe shed a tear in relief, or shout for joy. That's how far gone this is.

When I was a teenager, I could load film into a camera, program a VCR, change the oil & spark plugs in my car, repair cassette tapes with a pencil, tune a TV with rabbit ears, and use a rotary phone. Now, I'm over here confused about how to use the credit card tap thingie. #Progress

I wasn't worried about my children fighting in the backyard until I heard one of them scream, "Fix bayonets!"

So, if the Nobel Committee "gives" Trump a Peace Prize, will he back off waging war for Greenland? I mean, is that how it works?

"One case we never considered, however, was how to betray and attack our own allies. We did not ask what to do if the president becomes a threatening megalomaniac..." — @radiofreetom.bsky.social

This is the least shocking thing I've read today. Struggling to to sell tickets to a documentary nobody asked for.

The only reason the PAB in Chief wants Greenland is revenge against the Nobel committee: "Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace" Utter failure of the United States.

Never forget: if you let the shenan once, they'll shenanigan!

The Librarian just gave me $5 to stop talking. I guess it's... 😎 hush money.

"There is clarity (and joy) in seeing what others can't see, in finding grace and harmony in places others overlook. Isn't that far better than seeing the world as some dark place?" — Ryan Holiday, 'The Daily Stoic' 1/18

Its very on brand for Trump to take credit for something a woman earned.

If Tim Tebow gave me his Heisman Trophy, it wouldn't mean I won the Heisman Trophy. #THEMOREYOUKNOW

I used to be indecisive. Now, I'm not so sure.

I'm shocked Trump didn't have ICE execute Machado as soon as she exited the White House grounds.

Imagine reading a book but there was no way to turn back to the previous page. How carefully would you read it? That's life.

Trump has no idea who Scott Adams was... of course. Adams threw his reputation away for a POS who couldn't pick out his achievement if his life depended on it.

For Bluesky lawyers and paranormalists: Could a vampire policeman enter my house if they had a warrant?

My sons are getting older now, so we've been going through old toys. Yesterday, we got to the Legos. There was a fight. Screaming. Crying. Big, fat tears. A full on emotional collapse. My youngest (21) finally got fed up and said, "pull yourself together, dad."

Saturday night, a naked man with a woman on his back arrived at the costume party at the club. "What are you supposed to be," asked the bouncer. "A turtle," answered Leo. "And her," asked the bouncer. "That's Michelle," replied Leo.

“This is how change happens, though. It is a relay race, and we’re very conscious of that, that our job really is to do our part of the race, and then we pass it on, and then someone picks it up, and it keeps going." — Alice Walker

It's insanity to rely on an inherently immoral & evil person's morality to be the litmus test for a country's direction.

Probably 99% of the people who proclaim 'try that in a small town' have never left their small town.

Just do it already, for the love of all things holy!

"On April 1, 1933, shortly after coming to power in Germany, the Nazis held a boycott of all Jewish businesses. It was the first small persecution of many to come. But too many mothers and fathers who had talked to their kids about doing the right thing simply went along with it." — Ryan Holiday 1/8

“Moral cowardice that keeps us from speaking our minds is as dangerous to this country as irresponsible talk. The right way is not always the popular & easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.” —Margaret Chase Smith (1897–1995) —Joe C., 'Beyond Belief' 1/8

My friend booked us a table at a trendy new restaurant called The Manhattan Project and "I'm" the bad guy for asking if it's a fusion restaurant?!?

I'd like to think yesterday's murder would be an inflection point; but there have been so many for so long and nothing has changed. And that's the real tragedy of the US in 2026. He didn't pulled the trigger, but he may as well have.

Why did the hipster drown? He went ice skating on the lake before it was cool! 🥶
