Reading something called "nostalgia daily" should get you put on a watch list.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

The guy who did my tattoos said there's an industry term for Nazi tats. "Salary caps."

Oh they did? All by themselves? Did they show up all at once or arrive separately?

It's amazing how much of political journalism is just someone proudly declaring, "I am a tiny baby who has never learned a single thing in my entire life."

Objective journalism language!

Irish internet, where am I eating in Dublin, keeping in mind I will have a 12-year-old with me (who's pretty adventurous food-wise but not up for the bar scene yet)?

He also got shot in the neck fighting the kind of people this administration is arming.

Purple Heart Band-Aid Party strikes again.

Henry V or GTFO

Is there any way to know if one of them is lying?

Vance and Dolan beefing is incredibly funny to me given how much water Dolan has carried for this administration and the trads writ large oh word???? the 24/7 racism caucus kept doing racism 24/7 even when it created problems for you personally???? whomst could have predicted

"What is a woman?" "Your mom."

I mean don't threaten me with a good time ...

I was in Jordan in 2003 for a story, running around Amman and talking to strangers in my six or so words of Arabic about what I was doing there. I got into a cab one day and the driver spoke a little English. "American?" as if it wasn't obvious. "Ana sahafi." I'm a journalist.

Oh wow I wonder if that information was available when he voted to put her in charge of the agency.

Thinking about this from a female perspective, we had 4 decades of messages that a) if you have sex you'll get pregnant, die, or both b) girls who want sex are sluts and therefore all desire is suspect and accepting physical affection is fraught c) if you don't put out you're a frigid little virgin.

Update: the hole is still there. Jerry and the boys have dug a second hole and are yelling at it today. This renovation was supposed to be done in January. The chirpy sign now says it will be done "upon completion" and last week a dude walked past the sign and flipped it off.

Okay how do we make her president?

Thinking of the woman I talked to in North Carolina while phone banking, who told me she didn't think Kamala would "end all the war." Hope you're sleeping sound tonight, ma'am.

The American people are starved for someone to treat these people publicly with the contempt they deserve. "Well, you see, it's an 11-dimensional chess move because Israel was gonna do something and then Iran was gonna do something and so we had to -" "SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU SOUND LIKE A DUMBASS."

the only thing missing here is they cut out the assist from Judith Fucking Miller

In response, Reuters is teaming up with Raid: Shadow Legends.

One thing I'm an absolute whore for, every time, is somebody who stubbornly refuses to mystify and sanctify a craft. He's always WORKED, you know? Worked at it. He's funny and charming and so, so handsome but you can see how he just puts his hands to the wheel.

I am here for a timeline in which Delroy Lindo is our king.

i dont think pundits and columnists should get a mulligan after being catastrophically wrong on the most important issues of our time

God yes.

HELP

A thing I think about the Billionaire right’s consolidation and growing stranglehold on US media is that you can’t spend decades training the public that the media is untrustworthy and full of lies and a biased useless fake news machine and then expect people to suddenly trust it once you take over

He's never been bright but aging (metaphorically, boyfriend is younger than me) isn't helping.

I wonder if her speaking fee will even take a hit.

John Kerry tried to save our stupid asses but we didn't deserve it.

We should have put Bush and Cheney in chains.

Some excellent headlines from the April 1963 National Eagle, the Portland, OR newspaper edited by the future chair of the Oregon Republican Party.

there is no hell hot enough

This is offensive. Mr Baseball is Bob Uecker. Or, if you like, a seven-foot Uecker with a giant head who hands out brats/Miller Lite to pretty girls, and dances on the dugout with Elvis impersonators. In other words, Uecker.

I watched in real time as Limbaugh and his mini-me, Charlie Sykes (yes, the very same Voice of Reason who now wants to tell us how to fix what he broke) poisoned people I knew, in front of me.

Maybe he can guess where the missing Epstein Files are.

entirely unimprovable execution by the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social social team

It's not state-run media, guys. If it was state-run media it would switch to supporting Democrats when they were in power. It's right-wing media.

All without Jake Tapper writing a single book about it.

In addition to all the other shit that's going on, this "pox on both their houses" horseshit only ever benefits Republicans.

Partly as a coping mechanism for The Horrors, does anybody want to scream with me about how GOOD A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is and how Lyonel Baratheon and Baelor Targaryen have taken over my brain? And I need Duncan to just, like, read to me or something, his voice is SO SOOTHING.

It would make me so sad to write something that good, knowing full well that I'd peaked.

This is so fucking mean and stupid and awful. Fuck these bigots.

O CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN!

Most people my age or younger would rather be run over by a garbage truck than have shouty-shouty political shows and BREAKING SCOOP NEWS alerts screaming at them all day. We're stressed enough.

The stripey boy cat has been yowling inconsolably at the closet door. For a while I thought we had some kind of critter holed up in there, so I opened the door to let him at it. The yowling stopped. He doesn't go in there. Now that the door is open, he's fine. Cats are fucking weird.
