the Artemis II crew looks mortified as Trump turns to them while he's attacking NATO

🚨 WOW! BIG news here! Jerome Powell says he will remain on the Fed board after stepping down as chair—a move not seen since 1948. He specifically pointed to legal pressure from Donald Trump and the need to ensure Fed independence. Trump’s attacks have backfired in a big way.

every media interview with a tech ceo in the past ten years:

tremendous L for the weirdo freaks who tried and failed to get Americans to treat Canadians as our enemies before deciding they were more interested in starting wars with other countries

“I have conclusive proof that Sherlock Holmes, Dick Grayson, and Spock are related. We’ll start with this image of Spock’s mother, Amanda…”

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. (I like this version more than the less comprehensive one I did yesterday. My answer remains unchanged.)

Op-Ed writers this week

I refuse to be tone policed by fascists

Remember how less than three weeks ago the president threatened to kill an entire civilization

obsession with “Reichstag fire” as metaphor shows how little people understand about 21st century media environment

Film you've watched more than TEN times with gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars/Trek, LOTR, Marvel OR Princess Bride First one that springs to mind...

I’m watching an ad for the White House ballroom.

This is like the 10th or 11th Reichstag fire that doomers on bluesky have declared

Pour one out for the Hilton staff who are working perhaps the worst shift in food service history rn.

If we ever go to a formal dinner and shots are fired, I don't care if we have on make-up and gowns, get in the car, bitch. We're going to Popeye's

Hahahah good stuff guys but I don’t think you needed to put “at the WHCD” so much since that’s the place you will already be also good for you for being able to smile as you assist in dragging every American down into the stupidest possible version of fascism, it can’t be easy to watch

I may hate-watch the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. I may watch a movie instead. Really on the fence here.

There’s no requirement that the NFL play Greenwood’s “magnum opus.” That tune is far too tainted now. And it was never very good. #NFLDraft

This is dope

Good read. Good to send to your democratic reps if you have 'em.

Not going to a dumb party is just about the easiest moral stand you could possibly make.

This goes for most newsletter writers, maybe all of them (I love you newsletter writers, I do).

"You don't feel safer" is an entirely different sentence with a different meaning. That is best addressed through therapy rather than through policy.

I keep saying that. NYC had over 2000 murders the year i got arrested. That was a DECREASE from the year before. Last year it was around 300. It's not just safer, it's SIGNIFICANTLY safer.

Yes, ha ha ha... YES

Happy 420 Day, when we celebrate the beginning of the Gettysburg Address.

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.

“Joe Rogan criticized Trump! He’s part of the resistance now!“ — Dumbasses, a couple weeks ago.

Well, my days of not taking Franklin Graham seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

The advantage of being here so intermittently is I miss most of these outages but I still get to hear the jokes at the after party.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”. This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

“What you got here Sammy is a fairly rare reverse crusades situation…”

He’s got no Robin but a bunch of Cardinals

And for good measure, Iran is on double secret probation.

The Punching Yourself in the Face theory of foreign policy. Iran is blocking the Strait, so in response he's blocking the Strait. It'd be like George W. Bush announcing after 9/11 that we were retaliating by crashing another airplane into a New York skyscraper. That'll show 'em.

“Everybody hates us, what should we do?” “The only thing that will get people back on our side. An armed overthrow of the Pope.”

A commenter notes that "Trump managed to be both Hitler and Chamberlain in the same negotiation. An unprecedented feat." 😭

Folks, they’re calling it the longest, most beautiful 19 hour ceasefire ever, just an absolute masterclass in geopolitical negotiation, one for the history books for generations to come

Fox News: "Breaking right now -- Iranian state media says Iran is closing the Strait of Hormuz"
