So I guess the going theory is that Ben Shapiro was taking something to get his beard to come in better, and as a result his eyebrows just went rogue. As hilarious as that is, we should also think about how easily Ben has access to gender-affirming treatments.

FYI: The "Elon Musk says he'll shut down your Tesla if you try to dodge the draft" post that's going around is fake.

Okay folks, if you absolutely must revive or reboot your problematic fave TV show, you can just not invite the shitty people that made the original set dangerous. I won't tell on you.

John Stewart is supposed to be an intense guy, someone who can hold you there with just a look. Aaron Pierre is pretty phenomenal casting, here.

Hey nerd news sites, maybe we don't need to know what Ethan van Sciver thinks of the new Lanterns trailer. Particularly when it involves slurs.

@akivamcohen.bsky.social - Re: LRT Trouble is, we've seen this from Schumer before, and the next question has to be whether he's gonna whip against Mullin and keep his caucus together.

So, you under no circumstances have to hand it to John Bolton. But when the guy who held the record for being the most horny about bombing Iran says you've gone too far, maybe pump the brakes a bit.

The whole MO of the second Trump administration is breaking things so badly that Congress and the court system has no choice but to ratify what was originally done unlawfully. We saw it with the deportations. We saw it with the demolishing of the East Wing. Now we see it with Venezuela and Iran.

Seeing people seriously suggest the US put Reza Pahlavi in charge and my dudes, that does not work out how you think at all.

Ah, yes. The US enacting regime change in Iran has gone so well, historically.

Trump offhandedly mentioning taking over a sovereign country kinda hits different now that he's done it once, doesn't it?

Just as Pete Hegseth had a mediocre, stalled military career but now thinks he knows just what the US military needs, Pete Hegseth was also never a Scout but has very loud opinions about what Scouting should be. And he's enforcing them with the weight of the US military.

Jonathan Majors got passed up for Sinners because of Crimes and he's decided to make it everyone's problem.

Turns out the mayor of New York City is more powerful than the president of the United States.

So like, hear me out. I want to posit that nobody but nobody who has eaten any other burger in their life, even restricting themselves to fast food burgers, has looked at a Burger King patty and said "that's a good burger." CW: BEEF CRIMES.

Most people in Kansas are not at all the people who are pushing the current disastrous and barbaric policies that Kansas is enacting. Most people in Kansas are held hostage by gerrymandering, lack of economic opportunity due to Sam Brownback's dalliance with Art Laffer, and...

So lemme get this straight. Reform UK gobbled up all the disgruntled Conservative Party folks, and this resulted in yet another schism party, Restore Britain? And Elon Musk is backing that one?

Starting to think that just plain all the members of Live (the band) are shitbirds.

Good news, @nataliereed84.bsky.social

Post yourself and your crew.

Carr gets to say this because of the indirect way he's been working. Technically the FCC didn't call up CBS about this. They didn't have to. What they actually did is launch an investigation into The View on the same grounds. CBS' lawyers got spooked, and they spiked the segment.

Really getting the impression that Congress ought to ask Noem what formal role Lewandowski has, when they next get her in the hot seat.

Vault of the Murderworm just shipped, so I've got a heaping helping of @ceronomus.bsky.social headed my way.

John Fetterman knows he's not getting a second term. Like he MUST know, at this point. With his depression I guess it's debatable whether he even wants one. Dude seems miserable, and might be headed for a divorce. But you can see that's why he's voting this way, now.

@stevek.bsky.social - Feel like this goes in the queue.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the guy with 100k followers on Bluesky has more of a responsibility to not say weird racist things than the 5 follower nobody he's chosen to quote tweet.

People trying to tell you the ratings for Bad Bunny's halftime show were disappointing are leaving out that they were only lower than 2025's. They were higher than every other Superbowl.

@monstergirltrish.bsky.social - So, relevant to recent hobby stuff, would you be willing to talk about your experience with alternatives to green stuff, particularly Beesputty since I recall you've been using that for masters?

Not to be glib, but Trump take green stuff. sylcreate.com/green-stuff-...

If you were curious how hollowed out Bondi is, today she accused the granddaughter of a Holocaust victim of antisemitism, then grinned and laughed when said granddaughter (an elected official) stormed off.

Never fails. Suspect in the Canadian school shooting hasn't even been released to the press, and people are already trying to claim the shooter was trans. And getting amplified by the world's richest man.

Once again, cannot express enough that we do not need to defend the Clintons against Epstein allegations in any way whatsoever. They have massive wealth and connections built up over two lifetimes spent in high-level legal practice and politics.

@flanneldude.bsky.social Sick pig orc art from a module that's all about pig orcs.

I don't know if this is all that hot a take, but I think baseball movies are way better than football movies, on average.

The rivalry between the Washington Post and the New York Times has been a low bar to clear lately, but damned if the Bezos Post doesn't seem bound and determined to get clobbered in the face by it.

It's a little messed up when we're simultaneously trying to deport people to Somalia and actively bombing Somalia, right?

So on the one hand, Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman are in the Epstein files. On the other, it's because Epstein got a Kickstarter e-mail telling him she was crowdfunding an album. So, a wash.

This is your only warning. He's going to tear down another historic building if he's not stopped.

FYI: Matt Damon doesn't "look Greek." Neither does Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, or Robert Pattinson. None of them look even a little bit ethnically Greek, and no effort has been made to make them. People are using "looking Greek" as a stand-in for "white" because they know how that would sound.

In hindsight, I think the exhaustive lexicon of wizard slurs in Harry Potter should have been a red flag.

@damnyouwillis.bsky.social has an opportunity to do the funniest thing.

The reason that Trump superPAC donation e-mail where they threaten to deport you if you don't donate plays well with their crowd is because they're only reaching out to white people. It only reads as "humor" because it's being sent to people who assume they aren't ever the targets of state violence.

"Man who was held down and shot by ICE had the shit beaten out of him by ICE a week earlier" is not the exoneration you think it is.

Seeing the head of CBS News declare that they're going to release all of their reporting online on a blog first really kinda defies belief. Bari Weiss is going to take the home of Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite and turn it into a glorified Substack because that's all she knows how to run.

So you don't under any circumstances "gotta hand it to" Susie Wiles, but I'm kind of enjoying this thing currently going on where she just doesn't invite Stephen Miller to things he is ostensibly in charge of, like taking Noem out behind the woodshed.

Enjoy an old Irving Berlin tune this morning.

"Greg, you're too toxic. People hate you. I'm sending Tom Homan in." Weird times.

Sure looks like they're doing upgrade sprues and characters for the Chaos Undivided factions. So I think we can all agree this is probably Solomon Akurra, right?

Feel like most of us are in a line of work where if someone bit our finger off, the automatic response would be shock and sympathy.
