Genuinely, I don't know how people forgive him for that haircut. It's such a brazen, balled-faced lie, trying to put it past us is an insult to our collective intelligence. Remarkably, the rest of his lies are equally unconvincing, but his base seems to relish being lied to.

"Sorry kids, dinner is going to be several months late."

Detective Blackbeard. Pirate captain becomes maverick gumshoe for the NYPD. Beleaguered Police Chief: You're a loose cannon, Blackbeard! Detective Blackbeard: Aye, we once had a loose cannon on the Queen Anne's Revenge. Lost three men.

Comics pro tip: If your SFX might reasonably be misinterpreted as a fart, you should change/delete it.

Oh no! Did he leave the classified information lying around Mar-a-Lago?

Surely everyone recognizes that threatening to cancel entire networks for hurting his feelings is weak-ass shit. But the whole premise of his political movement is that he is always right, so we end up with an entire party too weak to call out weakness. Sycophancy as a political identity.

National Treasure except instead of the Declaration of Independence it's the Bill of Rights and instead of stealing it they're setting it on fire.

Hadn't seen how tariffs were impacting clothes prices until last night. If I save up, I might be able to afford a barrel with suspenders.

There's no explaining away Trump having posted a video featuring AI version of himself. Did he forget that he hadn't said that stuff? Did he know that he didn't say that stuff, but didn't see that known fraud as disqualifying the other assertions in the video? What's the best-case scenario here?

Literally threatening the country with a good time. Supporting trans rights and shutting down his regime seems like an easy win. (So of course the Democrats will screw it up...)

He can’t make groceries cheaper, but he can cancel a late night talk show. And another. And rename the Gulf of Mexico. You know: priorities.

That “First they came” poem made me think it would take longer for them to start coming for middle-aged white dudes…

Our president is so vain he probably thinks that song is about him.

Went to my first Brookly Cyclones game last night, though one of the friends that I went with was under the impression that I was a big fan, in case anyone was wondering what kind of energy I'm giving off these days.

Two weeks until this fire drops. Can't wait for everyone to read it.

The hero we need.

You fail to read 100% of the library books you don’t check out.

Imagine losing the Epstein files so badly you need to call in the National Guard to help you look for them.

Oh shit. Have I turned into the kind of middle aged white dude who listens to Kind of Blue in his living room on a Friday night?

I honestly can't imagine ever being offended by an insult as softball as "world-class hater," but I will not accept that anyone finds it MORE offensive than "shithole countries" or "grab 'em by the pussy." Why would only one of those be disqualifying?

The third amendment has entered the chat!

Friendly reminder that having a chatbot do your job is the strongest case you could possibly make for you being replaced by a chatbot.

Paul Revere planning for every possibility: Three if by air. Four if by tunneling underground. Five if by teleportation. Six if by genie, monkey's paw or other wish. Seven if they've been here all along, but we only just now figured it out. Eight if by taking over bodies like Agent Smith.

It has the shape of putting him in a no-win scenario where he either looks either weak or incompetent, forgetting that one of those will also cause a global depression.

I know the way I use Word is somewhat idiosyncratic, but I really wish there was an easy way to set it so I'm always seeing one whole page at a time, and scrolling would jump me from page to page.

Saw a production of Eurydice tonight. When Orpheus turned around in that fateful moment, the dude next to us called out “no!” I wish I had seen Titanic with this man.

Date night idea: wander around midtown and just kind of stop randomly in the sidewalk

The college chatbot crisis is simply a new manifestation of a problem that was apparent to me when I started undergrad two decades ago (and I suspect was a trend long before that): many college students are there only because the think they need a degree. It's just a dumb hoop to jump through. 1/

In what world is *paying for access* a "gift"? They give money and get a thing -- that's about as clearly a quid pro quo as it gets. A briefcase full of money has more plausible deniability here.

The funny thing about chatbots is that every time some expert tests them on their own area of expertise, they discover how horrifyingly wrong they are. Every single time, on any area of expertise. It's almost like they're always wrong, we just generally lack the knowledge base to spot the errors.

Shrinking the economy to make your hands look bigger

First they came for the people who had a spine And I did not speak out Because I did not have a spine

I get that I'm immune to this particular brand of cowardice, but is there any way the purported dangers of illegal immigration could be worse than a government disappearing people to foreign labor camps without a trial?

Why are so many people talking about the manuscript dingus? Anyone with actual influence has more important things to do than undermine writers online. This is just troll trying anything to feel superior. Their only kindness was remaining anonymous, sparing us the effort of forgetting who they are.

I know the logic, morality, and legality is garbage long before we consider this...but wouldn't paying El Salvador to take its citizens back incentivize them to send as many people to the US as they possibly can?

A point I don’t see a lot brought up in the AI art debate is that the reason we pay artists isn’t because they have a monopoly on creativity, but because we want to live in a society that has artists.

Maybe the stupidest thing about the tariffs is that, because they're so obviously bad policy, everybody is just kind of waiting for them to be repealed. Consumers aren't going to pay more and manufacturing isn't going to move to the U.S. -- we all just figure we can wait it out. Instant depression.

Swapped in blanc vermouth in this Negroni — much lighter and less cloying. Would recommend.

If only he'd decide to "pause" his inane policy initiatives BEFORE announcing them, we might all still have retirement funds.

Dreadful

Headlines so bad even the wolves are dire.

Looks like paying taxes risks a greater punishment than not paying taxes.

If you were avoiding doing crimes for fear of being disappeared to a slave labor camp, I have good/terrible news.
