As ever the worst part about traveling is coming home

Everyone is saying things like “Rest in piss, Lindsay Graham” but who knows, that could have been his preference! Who are we to judge

Theo said to me: “do you think Argus, the giant with thousands of eyes, had an eyeball inside his butthole so he could see himself poop?” I said yes

Ah yes, the Mary Ferguson strategy

Minions director Pierre Coffin has confirmed in an interview that no minions have worked with Hitler because they were frozen "in that cave."

That was maybe the worst Father’s Day I’ve ever had!

How much crying can one person possibly do

I don’t really care about Graham Plattner’s sexting per se but like, do we really have to do this when I just finished explaining to someone that his tattoo ISN’T a swastika

An AI slop video pointed me to a recipe for Jackie Kennedy’s favorite Casserole Marie-Blanche. “This is kugel,” I said out loud

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Bert and Ernie should have their own show. I don't want to have to watch Sesame Street to see what they're up to. I'm not 5

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

The Pope is…weak on crime? What??

This is Amy Brookheimer

Trying to do notes on a script while checking my phone every 10 minutes to see if nuclear war has begun

Monsters run our government. We have to disempower and get rid of them ASAP. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u... Gift link:

“Mommy, what’s a rerun?”

Oh good, the Iran War, another seemingly infinite frontier for mansplaining

I’m having one of those days where I have a stomachache and I’m convinced everyone is mad at me

I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...

Seven years after his screen debut in GLOW, Theo appears on THE BURBS

Really annoyed that due to advanced age I am starting to get nutritional advice like: “aim for a healthy mix of protein and fiber! Try a delicious salmon-quinoa bowl!” As opposed to my lifelong preferred foods, such as “gummy bears,” “spaghetti” and “nothing.”

Whenever a critic or someone says something is “pure filmmaking” … I don’t know what that actually means. A meaningless phrase, I fear

Will I ever have any energy again?

Joe’s Stone Crab, from which Barbra Streisand ordered takeout after her Netflix concert!!!

One way in which I am a superior parent is that I don’t cheap out on hotel minibars. Take whatever you want, what do I care, it’s a drop in the bucket

We’re hiding

This is all to distract from the WB merger

One message I’m not hearing effectively communicated is that a big thing that Zohran and AOC have in common that they are both 1) hot and 2) young. Dems need to nominate young, hot people. We have a lot of them!

Has anyone ever met or seen Jill Stein? I don’t think she’s a real person

Theo spent the morning explaining to me a school project he is doing on the state of Ohio. He specifically chose Ohio for reasons that remain fascinatingly opaque

Is Mamdani the most adorable man to ever hold public office?

Again: trans people are a very small minority. If your *KNEEJERK* reaction when you encounter these rare & beautiful butterflies is *ANYTHING* other than “What can I do to make your life a little brighter?” you need to interrogate yourself. Impede the life of trans ppl & you’re in danger, from me. ❤️

This is evil. Like pure pure evil. RFK Jr is an evil man

You know what would make Disneyland even better? If Americans understood how to live in a society

Hahahhahahaha eat it

I had a very fun talk with the wonderful @benblacker.bsky.social!

One thinks Kristi Noem could have used some small portion of the $75 billion in funds we are lavishing on her and her prison empire to purchase a new blanket. Even Hermès.

Love to die of a super heavy period in a room made of my own skin

DHS has begun purchasing warehouses to detain tens of thousands of immigrants. The big winners? Real estate brokers facilitating the deals stand to rake in millions — including one previously run by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and now run by his son. Cashing in on cruelty.

If you think setting up a bunch of roadblocks that require completing annoying paperwork ahead of time is going to help MEN vote, boy do you have another thing coming

You know who mostly DON’T change their names when they get married? Highly educated women, one of the most reliably Democratic voting blocs in the country hahahaha

Perhaps now it is finally safe to admit that I have always found Noam Chomsky to be an unreadably boring writer whose points I reflexively disagree with out of spite at having to engage with such dull and self-regarding prose

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

You know one thing I have never cared about in my whole life? The jobs report

Chris Murphy: "I sat with the kids for an hour. They saw things in these prisons they'll never forget. The bottom line is we have a constitutional obligation to only fund an administration that's operating lawfully. We cannot, we should not fund DHS if it committing these crimes."

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

It is getting worse here.

I don’t think it’s weird that Howard Lutnick listed the ages of his kids that he was bringing to Epstein’s island; people do that all the time, so the hosts know what to expect. What’s weird is that HE WAS BRINGING HIS KIDS TO EPSTEIN’S ISLAND.
