BREAKING: Blanche testifies that the Trump tax blanket immunity order portion of the slush fund “settlement” is NOT rescinded. Judge Williams, who has reopened the case, has said there IS NOT A SETTLEMENT. I imagine her probe into whether there was a fraud on the court will continue.

Yikes

I find it noteworthy that National Dinosaur Day falls on the first day of Pride Month, if for no other reason than getting to draw a big gay sauropod. Happy #Pride, y’all!

Happy #PrideMonth! 🌈 Fashionable, feminine, and a rebellious source of entertainment. In the Johnson Publishing Company Archive, you'll find iconic images of drag ball performers from the 1940s–60s. [🧵1/4]

To celebrate Marilyn Monroe's 100th birthday, over 1,000 fans came together to dress as the screen legend in downtown Palm Springs, where her Hollywood career began, and set a Guinness World Record. nyti.ms/3RCKMEN

NEW: lots of you have sent me this article asking for my thoughts. I’ve been able to confirm it. Just as she says, Trump’s administration is staging vote.gov on a non-government cloudflare account under the EOP where there’s no oversight or accounting. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/thedreyd...

One more reason to vote for anyone other than Pratt. I dropped my ballot off a couple of days ago!

I just started Widow’s Bay, but now I’m mad all over again about HBO cancelling Perry Mason.

Daily Memo: ICE Is Detaining People Who Show The “Know Your Rights” Red Cards It appears that ICE sees "Know Your Rights" cards and makes the immediate assumption that people trying to use the cards are undocumented. They have essentially become little red targets. lataco.com/know-your-ri...

I had to do a speed run of my 2019 podcast this morning to refresh my memory for an interview I did. My voice is actually more tolerable at 2x speed. But seriously, here’s a preview (the full show is available in all the normal places) because it matters.

This sign-maker uses the city’s own “uniform” to fix what he sees as a broken system with professional-grade materials. These posters are a message that acts as a megaphone for the hushed frustrations of the city. The full story on lataco.com 🚫🧊 🎥: Erwin Recinos

If only we had some warning this would happen if Trump were elected.

One thing old censuses have taught me is that the rise of the railroad did make it much easier for men to have two families at the same time.

Your moment of zen from Redondo Beach (came all the way out here for Old Tony’s)

Y’all, I love Suburbia so much

There aren’t a lot of people who follow me here from my old podcasting days, but the biggest development in 55 years is happening in real time in Kathy Jones’ case. I’m absolutely floored and didn’t see this coming.

I need everyone to know that when I was little, I said something about “Alfred Itchcock.” For some reason, all of the adults laughed at me…

I’m going to harp on this until the end of time. Memorial Day and Veterans Day are two different things. Not sure which is which? Hint: the name tells you who each one is for. It’s not that hard, people.

For the second time we know of, Kash Patel's FBI got a warning about a dangerous Nazi sympathizer (the other is the Evergreen shooter) but did not prevent an attack. This time 3 people were murdered. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/u...

But my favorite film is Peter Graves at the University of Minnesota

The most unbelievable thing about Terminator 2 is that a tech guy would grow a conscience (it’s still one of my favorites though)

Today I saw an old man’s giant balls when he pulled down his pants as we drove by. It will haunt my dreams. But then I got to see T2 in the theater and I’m now waiting on a plate of fettuccine alfredo at Musso & Frank, so the universe is forgiven for the balls thing.

I’ve heard about this a million times, but I’m curious as to how much awareness there is of this among people who aren’t hyper-engaged. Trump stealing your tax dollars to potentially provide a windfall to child molesters seems like the kind of story that’s worth amplifying.

They just played Teen Age Riot at this 14U hockey game, and I’m kind of stunned. Who is handling the music here and can we be friends?

Just imagining going by that forever line outside Maru and seeing Seth Rollins standing in it. But in like a ridiculous Seth Rollins outfit.

This whole situation has been such a shit show

Y’all, I need to make some room for new stuff. I’ve got Twin Peaks, MITCHELL!, Billie Joe Armstrong, Tor Johnson, The Devil’s Rain, and more! If you don’t own a shirt with Ernest Borgnine or Joe Don Baker on it, is it even worth leaving the house?

There was also some level of taxpayer funding of this event, which is covered in a bit more depth here:

This is important

Rather than conclude that democrats are bad because people like Fetterman and Polis are democrats, I prefer to conclude that people like Fetterman and Polis are not democrats and they need to get the hell out of our party.

Got a new shirt and I’m obsessed

In 1985 Sweden, nazi skinheads marched in support of the Nordic Reich Party. A woman named Danuta Danielsson chose to object by hitting one of the fascist losers in the head with her handbag. The moment was captured forever in time by photographer Hans Runesson.

Never thought I’d be living in a world so shitty that I’d find myself saying WHO CARES ABOUT UFO PICS RIGHT NOW

Just remember, if you think trans kids participating in sports is some kind of huge societal problem, you are in an agreement with the biggest assholes in the world.
