hey man who said you could weaponize these weapons

what a surprise that this dickhead was also a fabulist

The NYT edit board's "How To Defeat Trumpism" blog is an intrigiung artifact. This whole "how Magyar did it" recounting includes a whole paragraph of stuff to which this edit board would be frothingly hostile if a Democrat proposed it

we are gonna get absolutely dogwalked at the Etihad on Sunday

As a woman, I offer my sympathies to the Pope who is now being told hourly by very many random men what he actually means

ridiculous framing

happy birthday @miscalex.bsky.social!

The whisper network to confirmation loop is getting shorter.

big night for all the John Murtha stans

oh man that could have made obscene amounts of money

Thinking Harris vs Newsom are the top of the party is the most “Jeb Bush is the presumptive 2016 Republican nominee” statement you’re gonna find

It's been nearly five hours since the president of the United States posted a graphic snuff video of a man beating a woman to death with a hammer and there's no mention of it on the New York Times, Washington Post or CNN websites.

Hell yeah

I don't want to import apartheidists and frankly the next Dem President should send them all back. They are not actually refugees in danger of political prosecution. Our reputation for sheltering refugees is already shattered anyway, we don't need to pretend it's principled to keep them here.

I’m stealing bangers today

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Vi...

hard to believe there's anything new to learn about Melania that the comprehensive documentary Jeff Bezos bankrolled left out

Happy Appomattox Day!

I wrote about the "Trump always chickens out" meme newrepublic.com/post/208887/...

Was talking to my BIL last night. He's a Navy vet who did two tours on the USS Teddy Roosevelt in the Gulf. He said the most shocking moment of the Iran war was Trump saying "we were surprised Iran shot back." He said a statement like that would've killed the confidence of everyone on the ship

"That's AI." As an 8th grade teacher, this is a new insult the kids have been using this year, even on things unrelated to writing. Someone does something stupid, or ridiculous, or cruel: "Ugh, you're AI."

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

I don’t know exactly how many days of Democratic consultant school you need to attend to know backing Trump’s war in Iran is an electoral bonerkiller but you only need one hand to tot them up

would love to introduce Slotkin to Virginia or Georgia

okay

here's what's getting dunked on in the group chats today www.nytimes.com/2026/04/08/o...

Six minutes apart!

I guess I'm lucky to not suffer under these impediments newrepublic.com/post/207989/...

Iranian state TV is straight up playing Giorgio Mordor-style disco tunes. The chryon reads: "By accepting Iran's terms, the US committed to non-aggression, continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, enrichment, and lifting of all sanctions."

If this is the deal then Iran straight up won this war

Good news! Progressives will have a 5-2 majority on the Wisconsin state Supreme Court!

if this is how it ends - with iran actually in a stronger strategic position than before but with the rightwing propaganda ecosystem insisting that Trump still “won” something - then this whole crisis looks a lot like (a much worse version of) what happened with north korea during his first term

at this point I think what is putatively the “war in Iran” is 90% market manipulation/war profiteering

Also looks like there were two leaks to wider groups of Friends of Trump before the close today...

You know what? I'll admit it. The credible threat by a madman to wipe out a nation of 90 million people for basically no reason (presumably using nuclear weapons) successfully distracted me. I am now distracted.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

saying “a whole civilization will die” is not a “grave threat,” it is a confession of genocidal guilt and evidence of a psychotic break from a deeply demented and dangerous freak. this is like saying “the zodiac killer has published an interesting new crossword puzzle”

the whole tone is "we were really caught off guard by this"
