A life jacket worn by a passenger on the RMS Titanic has sold at auction for 670,000 pounds, which is more than $900,000.

A skydiver crashed into the Lane Stadium scoreboard before Virginia Tech’s spring football game Saturday.

The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar. Apparently like every day.

UPDATE: The Trump administration is deporting "nonviolent medically impaired grandparents" to Laos over a 33-year-old drug conviction, a decision Judge Tana Lin says is "inhumane" and "cruel" — but says she is powerless to stop. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump: WE HAVE DEAL! Markets: HOORAY!! Iran: We don't. Trump: THE STRAIT IS OPEN FOR ALL!! Markets: ALL RIGHT, LFG!! Iran: It is not. Trump: WE'RE GETTING ALONG GREAT WITH IRAN!! Markets: OH MY GOD AWESOME!! Iran: The fuck is wrong with you?

Much open. Very flow. Such commerce. Wow.

The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room. The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction. The Health guy collects raccoon dicks. It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.

TMZ setting up in DC to follow politicians around is FINALLY the appropriate lowbrow "news" coverage this administration has merited all along.

This is super cool.

Q: How much longer will American continue to see these high gas prices? TRUMP: Well, they're not very high Q: $4 a gallon still TRUMP: That's what ABC says, but the stock market is up. Everything is doing really well.

Our time is spent containing a crisis we helped create in the first place. And the messaging? All over the place. One minute their nuclear program is “obliterated,” the next it’s weeks away from multiple bombs. Which is it?

The dumbest country. We killed ourselves. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

This is horrific. A U.S. citizen describes the facility in Arizona that her husband was brought to while he waited to be put on a deportation flight. Dozens of people were crammed into tiny cells, there was a "chain of people vomiting" from filthy toilets, no medical care, and only one meal per day.

OMG... I feel like that could be it... he’s such a f****** dimwit

A series of disjointed, hard-to-follow and sometimes-profane comments capped by threatening to wipe out Iran and attacking the pope have left many with the impression of a deranged autocrat mad with power and revived the debate about Trump's mental health. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/u...

You know what would be amazing, if Vance can negotiate an agreement where Iran doesn't enrich above 3.67% (far below weapons grade); gets rid of 98% of its stockpile of uranium; has weekly inspections by the IAEA; and commits to all of this for at 10 years. Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

At the mass deportation hub in Minneapolis, where Good and Pretti were murdered, they're handing out these "challenge coins" to commemorate their work. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/staff-a...

We’re about to pay Iran $6 billion to re-open the thing that was open before the war. Art of the deal, baby.

Why was I not informed of this gag Everyone had years and years to tell me my favorite music video was spoofed on Family Guy and they did *nothing*

Let’s be serious: the people in charge of this administration are not interested in merit. They've overruled the merit process to block the promotion of Black military officers - and lavish favors on people who can pay dues at Trump's private clubs or write big checks to his ballroom project.

I converted to Catholicism last week. Here’s why it’s necessary for the United States to invade Vatican City and install its own pope.

I have seen one good example of this plate

Trump is a terrorist. The news from Tehran is that highways running north from the city of 10 million have had traffic patterns changed so all lanes—on both sides of the road—let innocents flee north to avoid Trump's Reign of Terror. Think of all the kids being traumatized today.

The White House Correspondents Association is planning to "honor" Trump at its dinner three weeks from now. No way. It was egregious before. Now it's obscene.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV declares the Iran War is “unjust” and “is not resolving anything.” After suggesting Trump is committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure, he called on Americans to contact Congress to help end the war.

Trump is threatening to commit massive war crimes against the Iranian people starting at 8 pm tonight. He is completely unhinged, and it is long past time for Republicans to speak up. Congress should reconvene immediately and vote to end this war, NOW.

AOC: “This is a threat of genocide & merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing & cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat”

We should make it clear that if this happens everyone involved will live under the threat of war crimes prosecutions for the rest of their lives

Under international law, "genocide" is such a fraught term because it requires showing 'dolus specialis,' or proof that perpetrators specifically aimed to destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. Trump or someone on Trump's team intentionally crafted this to meet that standard.

Another Tuesday morning, and the president of the United States is threatening mass war crimes.

To wit (from the article linked below):

This is absolutely fantastic. ht: @maddenifico.bsky.social

Front page of the print NYT: Trump Revels in Making Emphatic Threats to Commit War Crimes. He said he'll send Iran back to the "Stone Ages." Today he argued he can destroy Iran's civilian infrastructure to pressure the government because "they're animals." Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...

No one is allowed to say they didn’t vote for this. You voted for a vulgar, narcissistic, incompetent, mentally ill, bigoted, unfit, incompetent, maleficent person to run the United States of America. You knew exactly what you were doing. Stop pretending.

"He wanted it big. He wanted lots of gold, lots of marble. He wanted visitors awestruck by his architectural expansion of the country’s symbolic seat of power." {gift link} www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

For Donald Trump, Easter is a special time reserved for racist tantrums...
