If only his career in politics had ended here

this is what happens when two scorpions try to ride each other

What he said

I butt dialed Hezbollah. I texted Hezbollah but they left me on read. I thought I dialed Hezbollah but I accidentally called Hamas instead and it was awkward.

They told me my call is important to them, to remain on hold, and that one of their representatives will be with me shortly.

I just called to say Hezbollah

Why are so many wealthy white old money families and celebrities moving to NC and TN?

Scoop: Central Command is getting reports that military personnel are being targeted using commercially available location data. Few details available, but it’s a sign that the tech industry’s advertising-surveillance complex is having consequences on the battlefield. www.reuters.com/business/med...

We more or less figured this out within 45 minutes of the original story... and HOW we figured it out should give lawyers and judges everywhere pause.

This is, like, a *little* bit of a shitpost, but only a little. I very much mean it. Over that time we see “the American dream” morph from “have a steady job and provide for your family” to “have an infinitesimal chance of world changing unimaginable wealth.” That’s participation v domination.

Just in past 24 hours: -Criminal investigation of E. Jean Carroll -Subpoenas seeking info of ICE critics -Former judges demand inquiry into IRS "deal" -White House intervention leads to $600+M deal to family-linked firm -Monuments, pictures on currency Turning us into a tinpot authoritarian state

My friend was stopped on the M5 bus in nyc by ice and MTA checking that people had paid fares - at 79th and west end. They pulled off three white women in their 30s and 40s and ticketed them bc they couldn’t provide receipts for tap to pay.

he is a cynical, malicious, monstrous black hole of a human being and we’ve been caught in his event horizon for ten years, *of course* we are feeling the effects of that, making everyone feel awful is his superpower

Voting in Fort Bend County TX has been paused after a system bug caused all voting centers in the county to go down Tuesday afternoon.

Well. Talked to an old friend who knows Graham Plattner and his family well and I’m heartened that it looks like he will win.

Shit I forgot it’s my creepy ex’s reunion too. He keeps messaging so blockity block block

For the love of god stop masticating what else is next in her green produce bag of horrors

OMG blackened banana is next im gonna hurl

It should be illegal to eat homemade malodorous tuna salad on the Amtrak Vermonter. Also my seat mate is chewing noisily and wetly 😖🤮

This may explain the flood of pro Steyer posts I’m seeing. calmatters.org/politics/202...

Am I a failure or do I just have strong morals

What are we even doing here

Trump's Justice Department in the tax settlement appears to commit that the federal government is FOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED from pursuing legal actions "whether presently known or unknown" against Trump, anyone in his family, or any of his corporations… - an very broad get out of jail free card

it's cool that the president is trying to steal two billion dollars from my taxes to give to his pedophile friends and i'm supposed to like keep doing my job or whatever

Susan Collins: Donald Trump has learned his lesson, and I'm sure of that because it's his signature on the government check that's made out to "Donald Trump and his insurrectionist friends." John Fetterman: Only Trump Derangement Syndrome could make someone oppose this patriotic $1776 million fund!

Totally get why Moscow and Beijing will want to fill a massive space left by Trump being moron. But it ain’t good folks. It really ain’t good the longer this goes on. And it will be at least several more months. If DC is deadlocked after 2027, man, that’s two plus years for Xi and Putin to scheme.

“.. We spotted nine Polymarket accounts .. who made collectively $2.4 million betting almost exclusively on U.S. Military operations. .. “.. Now, here is the crazy part. 98% win rates.” @mediaite.com www.mediaite.com/media/news/6...

Why is the NYT showing Monday’s crossword? It’s only 11.15 here and I was halfway through Sunday puzzle! 😖

When i graduated from the same college my dad did, i had hoped that one day we’d have reunions on the same weekend. He has never gone to one. And now it’s too late. No way for him to know the boys who made fun of his cardboard suitcase or his clothes might grow up and become later in life friends.

Sometimes, a scandal is so big you have to pick off one piece of it. So in the case of Trump's insane stock trading, pick this: He did 6 trades of Intel stock. That company now counts the US government as a $9 billion stakeholder, thanks to Trump's intervention. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I am also feeling a bit insecure bc I met a few lovely women at this garden party but two women were bitchy to me and like why?

There is the annual Sunday night rave on a nearby hotel rooftop but I don’t feel cool enough to go so I’m dancing around my living room with three windows open enjoying their music as I fold the laundry

Going to a tea party where the dress code is “main character energy extra” and I’m now on the metro worried you can see my bra as the dress dips a lot lower than I usually wear it

Also this is peak New England. We all know women like this and some of us are those women @thesloopjohnm.bsky.social @adam35.bsky.social and I cannot remember r’s handle

This. I need people to stop with the mythology of his poverty.

Someone struck up a conversation with me and I told them I work for a paint company and we just discovered a new shade of beige.

Yeah, like I could at least understand “they have a repulsive, warped view of ‘good’ and are pursuing it”; but this isn’t that. This is intentionally wiping their ass with America because they think they get to because they think they bought it.

Engineer & inventor Dr. Marian Croak established the modern fundamentals of VoIP, the foundational tech that allows voice/video data to be transmitted over the internet. Her work is the backbone for services like Zoom, Skype, FaceTime & WhatsApp. #WomenInSTEM #engineering (1/2)👇

"we're willing to trade kidnapped children for POWs" is a completely insane admission of guilt

If there really is a Christian white nationalist convention in town this weekend am tempted to walk around town on Saturday wearing a sandwich board saying “Jesus wept”. But that likely would be too subtle for all of them

Gunshots fired in Philippines Senate as authorities try to arrest ex-police chief over murder charges Legal accountability for all in society. At least they *try* in the Philippines. #PhilippineSenate #RonaldDelaRosa #Arrest #Philippines #Gunfire www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I am humbled by the metro system and lack of signage

I am very tired of the stupid-savvy 'oh you think politicians were honest before Donald Trump' take, like yes there has in fact been a qualitative change in the way modern american politics have been conducted that is largely attributable to him, and is bad.
