Good point.

I didn’t think there was a worse suit fit than Tubby’s baggy Brioni, but Alex Jones is giving it a shot.

This was an instructive moment in understanding these freaks. 👇🏻

He also called Ketanji Brown Jackson, with two Harvard degrees, a "diversity hire." (He dropped out of community college.) He smirked at the deaths of the Minnesota lawmakers: "Total shocker that smearing a duly-elected president...as a fascist or a king leads to violent political radicalization."

No clear answers on whether mommy disappeared entirely behind hands during game of peekaboo Mommy's face was not visible from behind hands, and experts say they can't be sure

Darkly amusing that the president who pardoned Ross Ulbricht also says illicit drugs are such a threat to national security that he can use the military to assassinate suspected drug dealers with no due process.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

In other words, the real-deal stuff.⬇️

No truer meme was ever memed.

i really think jd vance is the fakest politician i've seen in my lifetime. there is nothing sincere about him.

Christ, AP, could y'all be any more in the tank for Trump? Forget what AMERICANS think about crime in large cities. Tell me what people who actually live in the cities Trump has targeted think. apnews.com/article/trum...

Detroiters, remember when Bill Pulte was styling himself as the Savior of Brightmoor? I guess we know who he is now.

OMG CRIME. CRIME IN MY CITY.

One of the weirdest things about getting older is having history you lived through be rewritten by clowns like this in real time. JD wasn't alive when public mental institutions were closed en masse (to save money) and their residents appeared on the streets, virtually overnight. I was.

You could write a book about this photo. Everything about it is so fucking vulgar.

If you meet an asshole in the morning, you met an asshole. If you meet assholes all day, then you're the asshole.

JFC.

Detroit Metro. Because it is, and also because it pissed off this whiny wingnut: enjoyer.com/detroit-metr...

Correction: the new head of US labor statistics recorded a podcast promoting Project 2025 IN FRONT OF AN IMAGE OF A NAZI WARSHIP. Compare the pictures. Who would put the Bismarck on their wall? Can we finally talk about the actual Nazis in our government? (Flagged by @fitch64.bsky.social) 1/

Defend your culture. Steal a bunch of food.

Yet again, I am shocked, shocked to learn the 71-year-old charged with sex, etc., with a 17-year-old, and then blackmailing her and pressuring her to have sex with another man while he watched is :::checks notes::: a church choir leader. (So is the other adult.)

Every day the news is like “the US government announces that meat can be sold without saying what animal it is & they are also mandating a return to mercury thermometers,” followed by “RFK Jr. has removed the coloring from Twizzlers in a major win for everyday Americans & their health & pocketbooks”

NYC congestion pricing impacts in just its first four months: astounding. Sensible (slightly radical!) new government policy can work wonders. Oh yeah, this too: 𝗳𝗲𝘄𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗡𝗬𝗖 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/interactive/... NYPD stats: www.nyc.gov/assets/nypd/...

I grew up in central Pennsylvania coal country in the 1970s and 80s and I remember how my small town had more than one oxygen supply store because so many of my schoolmates’ grandpas were slowly dying in their living rooms from black lung.

you first, Tubby.

These guys always go to the conspiracy explanation. "Demonstrably false" and "provably false" have to have more than "nuh-uh I dint do that" as their basis.

Is it too much to ask the host and guest of @nytimes.com podcast "The Daily" *not* to use the president's marketing term for his trade war, i.e. "liberation day?" Apparently so.

That's the way you do it.

Never have I been so glad to have cancelled my subscriptions to both Axios Original Recipe and Axios Your City Here.

Funny. I’ve had eight Covid shots and had nothing worse than a sore arm. Also, haven’t had Covid. Funny.

The term “cannon fodder” was invented for guys like this.

One conservative's opinion on bike lanes reveals so, so much.

RIP Connie Francis, who left us just a couple weeks before my v-a-c-a-t-i-o-n. (She also had a smart business approach to music, and released albums in many other languages, singing her American hits in phonetically learned Italian, Yiddish, etc. She even had a deal w/Brylcreem. Take that, Rihanna.)

Good thread here 👇🏻

MAHA!

I wonder what God's plan was for the firefighter who took one in the dome.

It's always the guys who trap their nannies in the pantry who want kids to be groomed by ignorance

One great impenetrable mystery of the New York Times is whether the people who control the institution truly are this stupid or if they're just stupid enough to think everyone else is that stupid

Zohran Mamdani's efforts to get into college at age 18 are matters of public interest that transcend their illegal sourcing; Roger Stone's efforts to overthrow the country last year may have been interesting but the public had to be shielded from the tainted material.

Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

Very striking how every right-wing conspiracy freakout was just a prophecy of what they planned on eventually doing - whether it was Jade Helm or FEMA camps, the moment they had the opportunity to make these imaginary monstrosities they came up with come to life, they did

And this is why citizens of one of the most polite nations on the planet now treat Americans like shit.

I think the best thing about not being MAGA is, I know how to spell “lose,” and the difference between there/their and to/too/two.

So happy to see Venice activists pushing back against these two insufferable, idle rich assholes. #TaxTheRich www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I wrote a thing for the Freep. (Not that one, the one here in Detroit.) It's about #swimming as a social-justice issue, and yes, I have been skinny-dipping in Lake Huron. It was a gas. Click and read.

The Detroit corollary to telling the rookie reporter to always get the dog's name? Always get the make and model of any vehicle used to run down a bad guy. There are people in this town who are keenly invested in this information.

I read this, my heart turning to stone with every word. To hell with these religious hysterics. They will kill is all, eventually.

The indispensable Gene Weingarten reports an unsigned parody of The Washington Post hit D.C. yesterday, mocking Post owner and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos on the eve of Bezos' three-day, $36 million wedding to Lauren Sanchez. @edroso.bsky.social @nderringer.bsky.social

A friend's high school graduation was derailed by a valedictorian with Something to Say. They cut her mic, so she dropped it and raised the volume on her own voice. Her message: This school sucks, and it's run by fascists. Cheerleaders were crying, parents were yelling, and it sounded...awesome.
