Once had a person I trust and respect tell me that he was troubled by A-1. Although it’s my favorite steak sauce I can understand that it’s not for everyone. But as the conversation progressed it became quickly apparent we weren’t talking about condiments but in fact artificial intelligence.

Just spilled half an IPA on the tomato seedlings and now they’re talking shit about the butternuts

Last night in a movie theater, I sneezed three times in a row before everyone in that row got up and moved.

Trump created the problem, all by himself. All he had to do was leave Obama's very successful deal in place, but Dozy Diaper Donny's delicate feelings would not allow this. Stop claiming you HAD to do this, Trump. You didn't. Fool. # Iran Conflict

Every day there's a new article that's some variation of "Critics accuse Trump of unprecedented corruption, meet the 4 plumbers who don't give a fuck."

“What is happening now is that all the legislatures in the old Confederacy states are going backwards. They’re the ones jumping backwards, not to do justice but once again reimpose injustice in the voting of Americans and all Alabamans.” @dougjones.bsky.social #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth

Jesus Christ this is the most chilling thing I've read in ages. The "new understanding of truth" described here is not new in any way, it is basically a return to pre-literate dark ages & the inevitable result is going to be fascism.

Live your life so that the whole world doesn’t celebrate when you die.

I hope each person trump pardons immediately gets a forensic audit once he is gone, the pardons revoked and those funds confiscated.

I need someone to explain to me exactly how Mamdani manages to sidestep the very bureaucracy that other politicians always blame for their inability to get anything done. Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

"CBS is assenting to its own diminishment." "The biggest loss is to core America values, including the right to speak freely, even in brutally mocking terms, about those in power..." www.nytimes.com/2026/05/16/o...

The orange felon’s $10B lawsuit against the IRS was already corrupt AF as it’s a scheme to steal from the US govt, but now he wants to settle that BS lawsuit by creating a nearly $2B slush fund to pay off his allies such as Jan 6 terrorists. He belongs in prison, not in the WH.

Donald Trump has done more damage to America than any other president in America's history

I'm still trying to figure how approximately 40% of voters have the same mentality as nazis!

America went from Barack Obama to Donald Trump. From dignity, empathy, and competence. To grievance, cruelty, and chaos. It wasn’t an accident. It was backlash. Backlash to having a smart, principled, wildly popular Black president who proved this country could be better. But not for racists.

I’ve never understood the appeal of a flea market. I always prefer getting my fleas from a local ethical and sustainable co-op instead.

I can't do much to help, but I will absolutely hate someone on your behalf.

Wondering what the first person to use the phrase 'the shit hit the fan' was going through

Triscuits are miniature wicker placemats for cheese.

pretty incredible that the inventor of gravity also invented figs

okay hear me out

Never loan money to birds. They have no source of income. Learn from my mistakes

Aspercreme directions: Use as per cream directions.

we need a social convention that it's normal to treat people the same way whoever they voted for treats the most vulnerable people in society

the year is 2026. a penile implant surgeon that runs a YouTube series called Erection Connection has been chosen by the Trump administration to handle the hantavirus outbreak. we’re all going to die.

Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House: “Well, look. The salary of Congress has been frozen since 2009.“ SO HAS THE FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE. If Congress can’t “take care of their families” at $174,000 a year, HOW THE FUCK DO YOU THINK POOR PEOPLE CAN, YOU SOULLESS MONSTER?

This is why decades of pointing out rightwing hypocrisy has always left me cold. That they act like hypocrites is part of the appeal to these people! It’s how they demonstrate the thing that truly matters to them: their ability to unfairly and unjustifiably dominate others.

I have been lectured to my entire life that the greatest sin in politics is to look down on these cosmically ignorant fuckwits, or to hold them accountable for their decisions. We're just supposed to flatter their Illusions and dutifully repair all the shit they destroy.

Funny (not funny but you know) that a substantial number of people in this country can't accurately assess what's going on because they can't bring themselves to believe that someone could be this stupid, let alone the president

The United States is going through a severe reality adjustment. For the first time in our nation's history, a political party in power has assumed an enemy position against United States citizens. Our government, has become the enemy of our people. Our citizens are caught off guard. - Catherine -

Joe: I am a 73 year-old retired mechanic in Forsberg, Nebraska. My 3 biggest problems are Iran's uranium enrichment capability, the casting of Helen in Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey," and the ability of Tennesseeans to check out "Roots" from a library 1000 media outlets: can we please talk at length

The 1% have stopped even pretending to care. Everything is totally fine for them and never won't be. The rest of us will be incrementally priced out of homes, necessities, healthcare and food and they do not care. We have solutions at our disposal. Now is the time to start implementing them.

If the next president will just pardon us and then give us a bunch of money then why are we not curb stomping the government daily?

OMG!!! Does the Wall Street Journal think we didn't know already??? What an insane post linking to... an article they think is an exposé??? "A WSJ analysis of thousands of posts found that President Trump uses Truth Social to spread conspiracy theories and attack his adversaries."

The NYT story on Kash Patel’s snorkeling over a mass grave includes this tidbit: In early April, Patel brought his singer girlfriend to a closed-door meeting on combating trafficking of fentanyl. “Ms. Wilkins’s presence confused some attendees, one of whom asked the F.B.I. what her role was.”

Trump’s legacy will be turning China into a global super economy and America into a “nation in decline.”

She's going to shorten the running time to roughly 25 minutes and rename the show 1488 seconds

This season of ‘The Boys’ seems to have lost much of the magic that made it a fun ride. But in all fairness it’s really tough for Vought fascism to effectively satirize politics when MAGA so closely echos their point of view in the real world.

The bathroom paper towel machine motion sensor failing to react to my hand waiving does not help my self esteem.

jack sprat could eat no fat duh he had malabsorption syndrome, you idiot you stupid fucking idiot

COSTCO: here, try this ME: oh yummy COSTCO: so you like it? ME: yes, it's delicious COSTCO: well, we don’t sell it anymore and you'll never see it again.

On the left is an Onion headline from March. On the right is Reuters, today.

I feel confident that this man has no idea what the women in his house do.

"rural voters" = white people and Reuters should just say white conservatives.

And that was the last we saw of Susan Collins

I get why many people don’t want to admit the US is no longer a rule of law democracy and has backslid into competitive authoritarianism. It’s a big change for the worse and unsettling to think about. But that won’t change the fact that it has. And the pro-democracy opposition needs to act like it.

Twitter's cultural brain trust going full gamergate on the Odyssey is an unpleasant reminder that their notion of culture is completely static, it's a finite quantity of concepts that are preserved in amber and that can never change or be adapted

He did say before the presidential election, “Vote for me this one time Christians and you’ll never have to vote again, we’re going to fix it so you’ll never have to vote again” Am I the only one who remembers this??
