Just thinking they should keep a courtside step ladder and bring it out whenever someone interviews Wemby. It’s always someone out of frame with a microphone at maximum arm extension.

I’ve always wanted to chant “We all hate you (clap clap clapclapclap)” straight to his face. Knicks fans: this is your chance.

In light of Spencer Pratt appearing to finish third and out of runoff contention, there are a lot of stories on how he apparently signed a deal for a reality show on running for mayor, including access if he ultimately won.

as many of you will remember, I dug into detailed local reporting about a different ICE victim every day of Lent to meditate on their stories, and when you read them all lined up some clear patterns start to emerge. the starkest to me was that every employee of GEO Group should be sent to The Hague

This is Freddy and Ozzy. They are transferring data. Please do not disrupt them until the process is complete. 13/10 for both (TT: whatfreddyretrieves)

Knew this kind of thing was going to happen. There are going to be a ton of breaches just because people come up with new and creative ways to ask for it through LLM prompts.

"Sorry I didn't get back to you. I was waiting on my dodo to get back and my penguin moves at the speed of continental drift on dry land." (Kidding, it actually sounds like a fun thing to play around with.)

Coming back to this again because it is one of the most devastating lines ever, he delivers it really well and then underlines it by getting back to his message of corruption, which should be the lede for most campaigns this cycle.

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

Just thinking that this sounds like the kind of attack Ann Richards would use to devastate an opponent (and that’s a VERY good thing.)

This rules. Absolutely the funniest possible outcome. The president of the United States filling in as the headliner of a concert because Milli Vanilli canceled.

San Antonio and New York City are finally gonna put it all on the line and determine which city makes the best salsa

Brian May too! It's got to be SO HARD to do a Freddie Mercury vocal without it either coming off as flat or as an impression and Annie Lennox absolutely nailed it.

Pretty sure that they’re making their usual calls and it’s going to be some combination of Vanilla Ice, Lee Greenwood, Nicki Minaj, the shorter half of Big and Rich and Kid Rock.

"Try me, couchfucker!"

Kind of wondering how many of them conflated "Freedom 250" (entirely Trump cronies) with "America 250" (bipartisan.) I could completely see sponsors or artists thinking they were working for the latter and surprised they were signed on to support a MAGA entity.

This is exactly what I want him to say. I'm sure he'll leave out the profanity, but don't go too pious with it.

Really hoping today is the day that John Cornyn, Bill Cassidy and Thom Tillis all go out to dinner, drink a few beers, commisserate over how Trump ruined their careers and suddenly realize that the Senate is 53-47 and they have a long lame duck period ahead of them to really stir up some shit.

Resting "just broke wind in a crowded elevator" face.

Can we just build him a bouncy castle and call it done?

😂

Congratulations on your wedding Don Jr. Sorry for distracting your Dad with this important work.

He certainly didn't know

This judge was an AUSA when those were prized, sought-after positions, partially because they were such great resume material and partially because of the respect the public and the rest of the legal community had for them...

Loved this!

Really glad that people started cancelling those Disney Plus subscriptions when ABC kowtowed to Trump and forced them to bring Jimmy back (and that Disney learned not to touch the hot stove again.) Going to really miss Colbert - he's always been genuinely funny and by all accounts a great guy.

Good. This was bullshit even by the standards of this DOJ. This was actual weaponization of the DOJ, dragging out the charges at a ton of expense to the defendants before ultimately being dismissed with prejudice and once again, the DOJ played fast and loose with the grand jury instructions.

The results are in. Congratulations Jeffrey Epstein, I guess. 😳

Phil Williams, once again underlining the importance of local investigative news. And absolutely insane that a person can get sent to jail for 37 days for criticizing Trump.

Rest in power. A true pioneer and one of the most colorful members of Congress -- you just knew that every time he was behind a mic, he was going to say something meaningful, blunt or funny.

We'll see how the vote winds up coming in (only 10% counted so far from mainly rural districts), but I love this kind of 3D map to use the height for the number of voters and shades of blue and red for partisan breakdowns. Really good way to visualize the data.

Gift link to the article - it goes through the legal maneuvering that the administration is trying to bypass the courts in order to establish a $1.776 billion slush fund to reward their insurgents. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/u...

Alexa has never been great, but they've REALLY enshittified it with all the updates to stuff AI into it. It's now at the petulant toddler stage. "Alexa play [SONG] by [BAND]" [Plays something completely different] "Alexa, what did I ask you to do?" "You asked me to play [SONG] by [BAND]"...

Mazeltov to Jerry Springer and the guy who played Bubbles on Trailer Park Boys on their first child, I guess.

I love this! War Pigs and Rock the Bells!

The Purcell Principle means it always too late for courts to fix something racist and never too late for states to do something racist

Car dealer protecting his turf. I've been impressed with their work on fast charging and sodium-ion batteries and we have a brief window to set up arrangements where they manufacture in the US with US employees like other foreign car manufacturers instead of importing complete cars.

I know Sen. Van Hollen has way too much class to do it, but part of me wanted him to stop, look straight at Kash, wait for a beat and say "You're plastered right now, aren't you? I mean, how often do you see 'Big Scrappy Doo Energy' like this in someone who isn't completely ripped to the tits?"

Never skip leg day. But seriously, have none of the people building these things seen the battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi where the ewoks keep finding ways to wrap up the legs of the AT-ST Imperial walkers with, like vines and ropes?

It's disturbing that a president is coercing the Supreme Court, but I seriously wonder what kind of Trump fan reads 545 words of unformatted text where he repeats all the usual tropes in one giant, run-on paragraph loaded with dependent clauses.

1. It's basically the "drain it every year and refill it" thing they've always done, but timed for the 250th 2. None of this should be no-bid 3. I'm glad someone at least talked him into a darker color than turquoise AND made Trump think it was his own idea at least. Black would be better.

Regarding Ben Solo: of course a kid raised by a literal princess and her bad-boy career criminal husband is going to have conduct problems. They should have let the Jawas raise him. He's space-SBF.

He's going to bring back the Corvair, lawn darts and lead paint before all this is over, isn't he?

Every once in a while the Babylon Bee gets it right.

I'm kind of a wordsmith and "alive" doesn't really fit the current situation as much as "undead."

A detail I didn’t know: “The Herald entered the Epstein series for a Pulitzer Prize that year, but it was not a finalist. Alan Dershowitz … who helped broker Epstein’s original deal, wrote a letter to the Pulitzer committee that year, urging them not to honor Brown’s work.” share.inquirer.com/THMiUZ

Man, just listened to the Pod Save America interview with Ken Martin and, wow. Prior to the interview, I was under the impression that he was a nice guy who meant well who was out over his skis and now I know he's kind of a dick who is out over his skis.

Just thinking that we had a few weeks in there where Eric Swalwell, Tony Gonzales and Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick were all forced to resign but domestic abuser and restraining order collector Cory Mills managed to outlive his head of lettuce and Trump hasn't rescinded his endorsement from February.

Exactly what happened. Hating everything about this, including that it means that every red, southern state is going to have a single district drawn to include as many contiguous blocks of black people, urbanites and college students as possible.
