You know what I *really* didn't need today? Deflate Gate kingpin himself, Tom Brady, lecturing anyone on his "moral and ethical duty to the sport" and how his "ethical duty emerges" when his conflict of interest becomes clear.

Why aren't the Democrats in the house waking up every morning, scanning the headlines, and submitting a new article of impeachment for every new thing he does? The more you accept it as normal, the more normal it becomes. Don't let this become normal.

I have found the problem. Let's spend the rest of the next three years fixing this, and I bet we'll see the changes we want.

DISNEY: Wins 5 Emmys for ANDOR, a show about resisting fascism ALSO DISNEY: Bends the knee to the federal government and suspends Jimmy Jimmy Kimmel for resisting fascism

This is what happens when the Dems play defense. They should have introduced gun control legislation called the "Honoring Charlie Kirk" bill the morning after he was killed.

My hope beyond hope is that Dems finally realized that power gained and not exercised isn't power at all. Everything that could have been done to prevent this moment was power wasted. It's time to remember how to govern. DC, PR, Supreme Court, redrawn districts, do it ALL.

In a year when our country has elevated being tone deaf to an art form, nothing seems to be less appropriate than truck commercials.

Realizing that home can be a person and not just a place is enough of a revelation that I'm okay if it's the last genuine miracle that happens to me in this lifetime.

Here's hoping this *really* pisses off the Secretary of HHS. Go get your vaccines, the folks at CVS are super nice.

Good God Philly is insufferable. The only redeeming part of tonight is that the Cowboys are a laughingstock. No matter who loses, I'm happy.

Louder, please, for the bullshitters in the back. The GOP has literally broken every legal, political, financial, and social system they can get away with, and the knock on Dems is fictional crime and being nice to non-white/cis people? This is the worst timeline.

Someday the bees in my brain are a lot to deal with so I find something to hyper focus on and let the day pass around me. This has been one of those weekends.

If you run on a platform of... 1) there will be trials 2) a commission will be established to revert literally everything 3) lessons have been learned, watch how we use power for good ...you'll never lose another election.

Hello, sexy.

My only wish is that someone sends reporters this cruel to also be with the person who loved them the very most.

“In 10 years if you don’t watch AI art you won’t be watching any new art” fine with me there’s like 100 years of movies to catch up on anyway 👍🏼👍🏼

What's sad is that I saw this picture and thought "I actually know a narcissist who would do this and think they were his friends."

Leave to AWS to finally build something developers like and then kill it with greed as it tries to fly from the nest. So on brand it hurts.

There is no "crisis". There never was. It was racism the whole time. He's turned a federal agency into stormtroopers who get to indulge their every racist, violent fantasy while wearing modern day hoods.

First weekend at college, son just texted me: "Have you ever had panda express? I think I’m gonna try it tonight cuz I can get a bowl for “free” with my meal plan but idk what to get and figured you might be knowledgeable 😭" That's right. He's never eaten at Panda Express. I win.

"The one thing an abuser cannot abide is something that interferes with his ongoing favorable self-regard. An abuser can never do wrong. He can only be wronged. An abuser always has to be both the hero and the victim of his own story. An abuser will always try to impose his reality upon reality."

I cannot stress enough how unserious these people are. They count on your obedience. Keep pushing back and they will collapse.

Introducing my people to Weird Al. It's hard work out here, but someone has to do it.

This is one of those situations where, if it was happening in front of me, I'd probably end up in jail.

So, does LaGuardia not suck now, or something? Terminal B is incredible. I like it.

I mean, this seems pretty common for Google employees...

Still waiting for the good billionaires....

For a long time, I thought the Dark Tower series, especially the deaths of Eddie and Jake in the final book, was the most that words could make me *feel*. As I get older, the voluntary death of Ralph in Insomnia resonates more. Giving up your second love and your life to protect a child? Perfect.

I feel like there's been a conflation by institutional investors of capital spending and the health of technology companies. "If you aren't spending billions on [insert thing here] how can you be competing?" So the cycle has become hype->spending->stock price, and they'll hype *anything*.

As an ex-AWS employee I'd never allow an Amazon device in my house.

One of the things that I personally am going to need from anyone running for office, especially President, in the next cycle is a clearly communicated commitment to purging every one of these unqualified motherfuckers from the government on day one.

I have an urgent message for Jim Cramer: shut the fuck up, I have local weathermen who are right with more regularity than you. How does he still have a job?

I have not seen the Sidney Sweeney ad. I don't care at all about the Sidney Sweeney ad. If you have spent more than 5 seconds thinking about the Sidney Sweeney ad, maybe go volunteer at a food bank or find something constructive to do with your life. If you are a journalist writing about it, resign.

In my experience, one of the core tenets of the right-wing social media influencer ecosystem is identifying the people who can be blamed for all your problems, especially if they happen to be women and/or people of color. Why does the left care to play that game at all? That's not who we are.

They move. At the speed. Of a commercial airliner. 😳✈️🌊

Group of old white men discussing the UP/NS merger on a circa 1995 web forum insisting that no one mention politics is so on-brand for brain dead republicans these days.

Also, fuck Texas.

The level of cowardice here is, unfortunately, perfectly on brand.

Not until the trials start.

If you can't represent the party as it is, instead of how it used to be, we don't want you in charge anyway.

Colbert should just run for President. I mean, it worked for Trump when his show was cancelled.

Waiting for one of the good billionaires to step up and protect this critical societal infrastructure. Oh wait, there's no such thing as a good billionaire.

Get. Off. Of. Substack.

Poor poor stormtroopers. They aren't getting to disappear the people they usually do, they have to disappear other people now.

You may have noticed that Edge has started taking your search input (address bar or search box) and pushing it to a full-screen Copilot window. I've confirmed this is default behavior for the shipping version of Edge, and it's terrible. LLMs are not search engines.

"How can [insert big company here] justify another round of layoffs when their stock is performing so well?" The world is full of unserious people asking unserious questions.

I feel like the phrase "Constitutional Rights" that I've been taught about since I started school, suddenly doesn't actually *mean* anything anymore. We don't have rights. We have optionally granted and occasionally available privileges that vary from state-to-state, if you have a lawyer.

*Biden tries to forgive student loans* SCOTUS: Whoa there, that is, uh, a major question. Which means you can't do it. *Trump revokes part of the constitution* SCOTUS: Obviously, we got to give the President the benefit of the doubt on this one.
