Whoomp. There it is.

“State prosecutors in Paxton’s office agreed to a plea deal in which Hoffman pleaded guilty to misdemeanors that did not require him to register as a sex offender.”

To my Pride folks. You are loved. There ain't no other you. You are so fierce you got these wockaflockas shook and whatnot. Go on with yo' bad selves.

In recent "scoops," Axios has: 1. Made it seem as if Trump was close to an Iran deal when he wasn’t, thus goosing the market. 2. Said Trump might cancel his slush fund, thus lowering the heat on him. 3. Given Trump distance from the widely despised Netanyahu even though they’re still in cahoots.

My three-year-old was watching CBS when she turned to me gravely and asked ”Daddy, how come everyone sucks up to the orange man?” And when I told her “Because today’s elites are the most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization,” she started crying

I’ll give McCain credit for being right about Russian intentions toward Ukraine, but he was also uniquely responsible for getting us into this current madness. Elevating Sarah Palin is what paved the way for Trumpism. He broke the political firewall and it was monstrously irresponsible.

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

Arsenal PSG shootout? Shootouts are dreadful. After extra time, they should just declare "no offsides" and play sudden death.

johnfugelsang.substack.com/p/the-texas-... John Fugelsang is spot on: GOP has long exploited fear and disgust, when they're the scariest most disgusting people around. Grand Old Pedophiles indeed.

“Is trump racist” is an actual debate people have

@cityedyt.bsky.social Thought of you when I saw this. What sort of a hum would a data center in the middle of London make?

Letter: Gov. Cox should put his money where his mouth is and let them build the data center right next to his farm. Let him listen to the humming that will be audible 20 miles in every direction.

The NYT is obsessed with the fantasy that that there is a political center. That's what explains its tongue baths for Rahm Emanuel, who is NOT a contender, and who speaks for NO ONE. He is, rather, a Democrat who talks like a Republican. They love that! www.nytimes.com/2026/05/26/u...

@cityedyt.bsky.social Happy to find you here, City Ed. Your videos are as brilliant as your taste in jumpers. ;)

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

Reminder that formerly enslaved Black people started Memorial Day. It was initially called Decoration Day as they decorated the graves of Union troops. “As He died to make men holy let us die to make men free”

Incredible. The newly-published DNC autopsy of 2024 is 192 pages. *Zero* mentions of the words "Israel," "Palestine," or "Gaza." (DNC Chair Ken Martin concedes the autopsy does not meet his standards, nor would it meet yours).

I'm not a plumber. But I'm pretty sure that's not how sinks work.

On the left is an Onion headline from March. On the right is Reuters, today.

Three weeks ATT Internet has been down at home. 5G is off and on. What‘s going on, ATT?

FACT: Elon Musk spent $290 million to help elect Donald Trump. Since then, the world’s richest man has gained another $563 billion in wealth while slashing humanitarian aid, projected to contribute to the deaths of 4.5 million of the world’s poorest children.

As someone pointed out to me offline, this is a really funny typo in Alito’s mifepristone dissent: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

"Y'all are in a death spiral. That's why you have to redistrict. That's why you have to cheat." Watch this man.

this hits so hard

"Poor sales mean that only 173 of the stainless steel pickup trucks will actually need to be recalled."

That said, the underlying visualization Danielle Kurtzleben did is great, even if it the labels don't note that several of these are conspiracy theories. www.npr.org/2026/05/08/n...

Trump Media, the parent company of Truth Social, just reported its 2026 Q1 results. It lost $405 MILLION on $900,000 in revenue.

This California gubernatorial debate is just as bad as you’d expect it to be

Edict my ass

Biden's presidency and the aftermath we're living through should be enough to destroy the "let's the turn page, let's look forward, let's move on" mantra that has animated centrist Democrats for decades now. Accountability matters. There has to be a reckoning.

1. When was the last time you had to show your ID to walk into a restaurant? 2. If he means to purchase liquor, unlike the SAVE act, I don’t have to prove citizenship with a birth certificate or passport to do that. 3. Going to a restaurant isn’t a right.

I'm just glad the Constitution isn't alive to see this

“They know they can Carter him,” a senior Trump administration official familiar with the intelligence and internal deliberations says, referring to how the Iranian hostage crisis helped tank Jimmy Carter’s presidency by the time of the 1980 US election.

@cbsnews.com owes it to the country to release the unedited interview with POTUS.

@froomkin.bsky.social What was edited out of Norah O'Donnell's @60minutes.bsky.social interview with Trump, right after he said: "I'm not a king. If I was a king I wouldn't be dealing with you...." He said something more. What was it?
