Beautiful Crater Lake NP. The lake really is this color. Save our parks! Fund our parks! 🌿

He hates comedy because it speaks truth to power & a malignant narcissist can't handle that. Period. End of story. With many thanks to: @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social @colbertlateshow.bsky.social @latenightseth.bsky.social @thedailyshow.com 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

Imagine if Barack Obama had tried to capitalize on his 11 assassination attempts.

this would fix the internet

Following trends and I will be getting a ballroom to protect me and my family.

He never had the money to pay for the ballroom. It was always a scam. We were always going to have to pay for it. They were just waiting for the right moment to hit us with the bill. This is now the time.

Does Jimmy Kimmel have some kind of promotion deal where the Regime points out that Jimmy is using the First Amendment and we should all pay attention to that?

“we are expected to come and rescue you” and yet they almost never do. how many women have shared stories of being in an unsafe situation with a man with other men present who just stood around and watched? plenty of men are cowards in their hearts and they forgive each other easily

TIL the word “algorithm” comes from al-Kwarizmi (as in Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, a Persian mathematician) who also introduced al-jabr

i feel like society moved on from these too quickly

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics. The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.

This is quite a major faux pas imo, especially for people like me, whose nose is well-tuned to sniffing out pro-Putin propaganda. My suspicion over the rise of the Greens still hasn't gone away, and I say this despite the fact that I am broadly impressed by Zack Polanski's media appearances.

Nancy Mace doing Nancy Mace things.

Much as people complain about being an adult, you can just make yourself a whole pile of roast potatoes at 3am and nobody can stop you.

The White House claims it has secured all of Iran—when it can't even secure one DC ballroom.

Another bullshit assassination attempt?

Am I understanding this correctly? The President, the Vice-President, the Speaker of the House AND the Secretary of Stare were all at the White House Correspondent's Dinner together and security was so laxed that a guy ran through security with a long gun? I call bullshit.

It's almost as if none of them are taking this seriously either.

Anyone can talk to ghosts. The crazy is when they talk back.

Reminds me of this meme I made a month ago

Has anyone checked that betting site?

Get your merch early to avoid the rush.

When #russia finally collapses and its troll factories, bot-farms, and massive disinformation media machinery shut down, I wonder how much of the internet will suddenly go quiet?... 🤔

“Nothing is as dangerous as an ignorant friend; a wise enemy is to be preferred" - Jean de La Fontaine Interesting quote … I think the primary thing I can learn from it is that Jean de La Fontaine had complex relationships with his friends & enemies.

He honestly thinks we're stupid.

There is no way for America to save face in Iran. Backing down will be humiliating. China is moving oil through the American “blockade” and there is nothing the US can do but bluster and posture. International embarrassment. Spectacular weakness and stupidity.

(rkgk)

every few months, americans are asked to resume their banquet and pretend a shooting didn't just happen

When I hear people say “it’s just a cat” or “it’s just a dog”.. it actually breaks my heart. Some people will never understand how much personality our pets really have.

Library fines have gotten weird since the change in management

Women's clothing not having pockets is rooted in misogynist history where society deemed women shouldn't be able to carry their own money and had to rely on men to give them money. The fact the fashion industry still hasn't changed that trend is garbage. Good for her.

We're going to get this toilet to Mars by 2030. Goodbye.

More elephants stomping on big game hunters please.

He's the worst thing that ever happened to America. I despise him BECAUSE I love my country. 🇺🇸

To deny the past is to deny the future.

I'll say it again, one of the worst things this rampant push to cram "generative AI" into everything has done is make people suspect bright kids of cheating when they're just nerdy or bookish or neurodivergent, sanding down their unique edges to fit into people's lowered, homogenized expectations.

The administration that ended DEI became the best argument for needing it.
