Dead people telling the President to pursue a trade war with an uninhabited island is real George III territory

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

never surrender

You win, Corks & Curds.

This lawsuit is BONKERS. He notably didn’t sue the paper because the stories were true!

I have a hard time being protected from antisemitism by people who cosplay as Nazis .

It’s amazing to find out at this late date how much the rule of law depended on people simply deciding, on a voluntary, daily basis, not to break the law.

News everyday here is like - Trump fires everyone who was hired, hires everyone who was fired - Plane carrying bird flu crashes into measles factory, creating rare superbug, Flusles - DOGE eliminates workers that run the facility that imprisons the Deep Gods - Your mother has been detained by ICE

There’s no debate: so-called ‘conversion therapy’ is a dangerous practice, not therapy, and it has no place in our communities. These bans exist to protect LGBTQ+ children from harm—period. The Court must uphold the 10th Circuit decision, finding that these laws are constitutional.

the fact that people are being disappeared in the name of ""preventing antisemitism"" by a christian nationalist administration is making me nauseated and horrified in ways i cant even begin to explain

The injustice here puts into question the viability of our country at a fundamental level This level of lawlessness erodes at a basic level the social contract between Americans and their government. If the President can arrest Americans and permanent residents by fiat, we're no longer a democracy

We've been saving this little pup for when we thought you all might really need a gold star. And, given the current circumstances, here she is. 13/10

trump: I’m going to protect women women: no thank you trump: I’m gonna do it women: please don’t trump: I have kicked those 7 trans girls off the jv volleyball team women: what trump: and brought back andrew tate women: why trump: YOU’RE WELCOME WOMEN also you can’t vote anymore

Cutting vital services is not "finding savings."

Works as advertised

I personally can’t stand the taste of eggs but definitely prefer them to plane crashes.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Going forward, I'm calling all bodies of water Gulf of Mexico. Long Island Sound? Gulf of Mexico. Lake Placid? Gulf of Mexico. Chattahoochee River? Gulf of Mexico. My half-full tumbler of Perrier? Gulf of Mexico.

I am DEVASTATED that I can't be at this reading, but esteemed emcee @amygoldschlager.bsky.social will be an amazing substitute host for these wonderful writers. Make sure you've got this on your calendar for next week!

Elon Musk is what happens when a James Bond villain written by George Lucas gets directed by Brett Ratner in a Michael Bay production of a Netflix original that no one advertised.

it seems wildly unfair that our planet has a handful of Lex Luthors and zero super-powered space alien himbos to punch them

My son calls shows that go on and on and change the story to keep you watching "twist bait".
