Love how he acts like he did some diplomacy over there or something. And not performed for a bunch of murderers and been paid in blood money.

Horrific reporting from the AP on the Myanmar families watching their kids starve to death from Trump and Musk’s aid cuts apnews.com/article/myan...

Jess Waters recycling the same guy over and over to represent “former” different enemies

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

This is a message to the universe. (Or my husband). I've been craving ravioli.

It's not even noon but I'm already disappointed in my future self for not getting more accomplished today.

We can fund health care and keep the government running, or we can shut everything down to raise prices on people. To me, that’s a pretty easy choice.

I can’t think of a time I’ve seen JD Vance demonstrate gratitude for anything.

I went and it was fun. We laughed. Some people wore sparkly pants and boas. Taylor seems cool. Nice. Smart. I love that she directs her music videos. Thank you for your time. As you were.

Vance’s is a white guy whose entire political career was handed to him by billionaires — a career also fueled by the grievance that U.S. institutions conspire against white guys.

I have to think that they are actively trying to get a kind of civil war started because violence gets them off. It's the mentality of the gun nuts. They say they are all about rights and patriotism and self-defense, but in actuality they are thirsty for violence, especially against minorities.

Maybe JD should try hating his country less

All I can say about this is OH MY GOD

Guys, I think really really really bad people are running our government.

Hauling children naked from their homes isn't what good, moral people do. "Several South Shore residents reported witnessing federal immigration agents forcibly removing unclothed children from apartments during the pre-dawn raid in Chicago."

Good morning pizza enthusiasts! I have a new podcast about reading. It officially launches today. It's called Library Pizza. You can find it in all of the usual places. Links at librarypizza.com. In the first episode, Tracy and I talk about aliens, Godzilla, and sour candy.

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Starting to think there are a lot more psychopaths among the sociopaths in charge.

NEW: ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the Trump administration’s cuts to an aid program.

email from UPS: Get Ready for your Package! 🤩🥳🕺🙌 Me: Yep, really looking forward to that box of kitty litter. Life changing.

I think my husband might be secretly mortified about how giggly I get during an episode of Survivor. Honestly, I don't know what comes over me.

I don’t know, I just feel like we should draw the line and not eat baby things. Baby animals. No veal or lamb or suckling pigs. Can we at least not kill and eat the babies?

rip jane goodall — you lived more than a life in far more than a lifetime. you will never be forgotten by love, science, truth... or numpty sad old me. humanity is eternally greater for your time and lesser for your passing. there are no gods... but godspeed your energy forward nonetheless.💔

Wish it could go on billboards, front pages, whatever. I doubt the Fox News grandpas and grandmas know. Maybe they wouldn't care, but I gotta hope they would. Children dying and it's our fucking fault.

I can't move past the comedians going to perform at the fest in Saudi Arabia. I just hate how they shrug it off as "well, I can't turn down life changing money." Well, one, what? Most of you guys are rich. But, also, what does it mean that there's nothing that is bad enough that money won't excuse?

Joni Ernst’s lifelong legacy for women serving in the military from her time in the Senate is Pete Hegseth. Every woman denied promotion, denied a job specialty, sexually harassed, or forced out for bs reasons, owes it all to Ernst and the Republican Party.

Hegseth: I really want us to kill people. A lot of people. And not be fatties. Lean killing machines.

One has to hope the military members in the audience are feeling what most of us are: embarrassment, discomfort, despair, confusion, disgust, bafflement, and worry. In other words, wtf?

I don't care how much money they were offered. It's gross. Those comedians shouldn't be performing for people who kill journalists (among other monstrous acts).

As someone with an extreme distaste (borderline phobia) for a certain something, today's Strand's puzzle was a little triggering for me. I did it as quickly as I could.

Was fun to watch One Battle After Another at the Music Box in Chicago with a full audience clearly enjoying the experience. And I'm not 100% sure, but I think I saw Will Poulter there. But the Music Box, as cool as it is, made me even more appreciative of Iowa City's own FilmScene, which rules.

We don’t talk enough about how racists and authoritarians are the ones who actually genuinely hate this country.

My 85 year old father has become a little obsessed with making Bundt cakes.

Hotels are never anywhere near as nice as they look in the photos— another lesson I will likely not ever learn.

heartwarming to see

you gotta admit that Saudi Just For Laughs is a very funny concept

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

swoon

Oh man, how long we gotta wait for eyeball zombie monster science guy stuff? #alienearth P.S. Plant monster did plant monster stuff and I was appropriately mortified

Not a big enough deal for Schumer to talk about?

1. chocolate covered peanuts 2. fall colored leaves blanketing the sidewalk 3. The library emailing you about a hold notice 4. Falling asleep during a thunderstorm 5. Mr. Furley

Thank god someone is finally addressing the too much fluid in babies problem

Happy Fall Equinox and 24th anniversary of my marriage and day before the rapture and Tylenol makers get really pissed day. Our president is orange. Everything is crazy. I hope kindness wins. I miss Andor.

Did anyone ever figure out the Marfa lights?

happy autumn equinox from me and prince rogers nelson.

We can't let this be normalized and forgotten. (looking at you, King Charles, etc.)

I should have kept it to just the two Negronis.
