The dude next to me smells like 6 hits of a joint in a locked car with a heavy douse of whatever was men’s most popular cologne in my high school years circa 1990 I’m thinking Drakkar Noir. Anyway, a perfect blend of those two things.

my firm take is that any man loudly worried about fertility rates is a fucking creep

"Y'all are in a death spiral. That's why you have to redistrict. That's why you have to cheat." Watch this man.

Since 2000, the Republicans have maximized structural bias in the Constitution: the Electoral College in 2000 and 2016, the rural state bias, the gerrymander, the emergency docket, Citizens United Funding—to shift the tides of a multi-racial, polyglot democracy.

i need to see the overlap of that 39% with men who think they can beat Serena Williams at tennis lmao

The rowing machine is assembled! Spent years rowing and haven’t been on one in 10 and omg I did 5 minutes at 98 resistance and I want to die. 🤣 Going to try to balance it with the Peloton—I’m only doing 20 on that right now and that seems to be perfect for my knees, currently.

The beginnings of a mushroom-Parmesan risotto with Parmesan-crusted chicken.

Our dogs keep sitting on the Roku remote and ordering channels.

The GOP has not flipped a legislative seat in any state since 2024. Democrats, meanwhile, have flipped 5 seats so far in 2026. And that's after flipping 25 in 2025 (which was 21% of all GOP-held seats in play), as you'll recall: boltsmag.org/legislative-...

Ditto!

People who could get far more lucrative jobs went to DOJ for the prestige AND because it could set them up for the mid- and late-career payday in the private sector from the resume boost. Now they have to pay you to wear a scarlet T for the rest of your career. The GoldenPalace face tattoo of jobs.

Arms straight out when he sleeps. 🤣

least surprising news today

Voted! #Ohio

I love watching the fashions from the Met gala but missed last night’s because… life.

I see so many guys like this. They've been raises in racist patriarchy, trained to be selfish & imperious toward other people, but then they reach a stage of life where they have no power & no one *has to* put up with their shit ... so no one does. And they are utterly at sea.

Let’s check in on how Monday is going…

Wine, cigar, music, fire, sky.

John Lewis had John Roberts' number from the jump: takebackthecourt.substack.com/p/john-lewis...

Approx. 95% of America's seniors are enrolled in Medicare. No retirement for you, freeloaders.

🤣

It is hard to believe this was covered in snow a month-ish ago. Man, I love seasons, my Arizona soul always craved them, growing up in same-same-same-same year-round. I don’t know what those white and purple flowers are called, but they’re sculptural and I love them.

I realize this is obvious to most but allow me to rant: At the core of Trump's base love for him is a simmering resentment over their mediocrity and gratitude for him making it permissible to be arrogant whilst mediocre. Everything in this cult can be traced back to that. (thread)

Decades of clean-up is what is needed to right the wrongs this f’n administration has done to this country. Decades, minimum. It’s so goddamned depressing.

people fucking died for the voting rights act. to wave it away with a magic wand is just so grotesque

Sincerely, with not an iota of respect, fuck this SCOTUS.

“We’ll tear it down, and we’ll seize the assets of anyone who participated in building it and refund it to the taxpayers.” That’s it. That’s the campaign. 350 electoral votes. Just do it. Think like an average American for once for godssakes

Don't know what infuriates me more, that this is being done, that it will be (at most) a one day story, or imagining the absolute Category 5 shitstorm any Democrat would be hit with if they tried something this North Korea coded.

This asshole makes me cringe every day of my life. Not that he’d pay attention, but the State Department used to do protocol classes for incoming administrations; wonder if they just phased that out because it’s pointless with him.

The stacking of the books begins, finally moving them out of boxes and onto the bookshelves. We weird. 🤣

Posting both an iconic blonde AND a movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs.

There are objectively worse people in the world (Hitler, Pol Pot, maybe others) but nothing activates a Pavlovian anger response in me more than adult men stealing home run balls from children

I know normalization is just what we've decided to do to cope but turning a botched assassination attempt on the president of the united states into a public debate on gilded playspace is FUCKING STUPID and I refuse to treat this bullshit pivot seriously or with respect.

Pliskova d. Sierra 6-4 6-3 Karolina reaches her 1st WTA 1000 Quarterfinal since 2024. She’s had 2 surgeries within that time frame. Currently ranked #197 in the world, but she’s a former world #1 for a reason. ✅1st Madrid QF since 2018 Can’t keep her down. 🇨🇿❤️

presented without comment bc she already got murdered

It's okay to joke about their misfortune. It is nothing less than reflecting their own heartlessness and callousness back at them. Sometimes wrathful derision is the only way to shatter delusion.

Normal people have absolutely had enough and they are starting to cook lmao

J’s hockey game interrupted by the holy shit news.

The BDay boy didn’t want to go out. He wanted his old-fashioned pre-dinner, he wanted my Balsamic Vin. on a salad, and he wanted my chicken parm and a bottle of wine. Ask, and ye shall receive. 🥰❤️

Can I interest anybody in travel guides circa 2000-2002? I’m sure nothing has changed since then. 🤣

J is 60 today!!! 😱🥰 Hope he loves it. 🎉🎂🥳

genuinely some of the very best bang for your buck you can get, food-wise you can make a shocking number of meals out of one (1) rotisserie chicken and some supplemental materials and the chicken is often the cheapest part of those meals including the bread ridiculous that SNAP doesn’t allow them

“They are pathologically incapable of admitting error even when it doesn’t matter,” sums up the current hellscape beautifully.

Dogs are perfect, such wonderful captures 💚 #pinks

*SQUISH!* 🥰

Can't wait to be elderly and forced to use what precious energy I have left to lean against a lamppost or sit on the pavement while I wait for a bus because the city removed all the benches for fear that unhoused people might use them.

We (my colleague and I) are about to find out how strong the old-boy Italian network is as regards our boss. I’m assuming it’s Teflon, but o do love to be surprised. Surprise me, Universe.

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.
