Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, does not follow politics (or the news, apparently) at all. Ever.

A movie you've seen more than seven times with a gif.

The story is finally out on @theberlinreview.bsky.social's new issue! you can read it here: theberlinliteraryreview.com/dr-suvajeet-... (and check out other stories in the Nov 2025 issue as well) ✍️ #WritingCommunity #NewStory #WritersLife #AuthorSky #WriterSky #BookSky #ReaderSky

It's a shame we don't have Barbara Walters interviewing him on 60 Minutes. She would have ripped his lies apart and he would have run away like a baby.

I remember when 60 Minutes was a respected news show instead of a propaganda arm for Trump. You guys folded.

Turkey is in the oven, yay! Why am I cooking a turkey on November 2nd? Because turkey is currently 99 cents a pound and is a great way to stock up the freezer with meat. Plus turkey soup, nom.

Gotta get rid of those excess Cybertrucks somehow, since nobody is buying them, and this way he gets a tax write-off for it. He's probably been trying to figure out how to accomplish this.

I was driving home last night and while I was on the Interstate there was a Cybertruck doing 60 mph in a 75 mph zone. It was towing a metal Cybertruck-shaped trailer. I almost drove off the road I was laughing so hard. Wish I could have gotten a photo to share with all of you.

"Grammy is weird" post of the day: For some reason I got up in the middle of the night and broke a square off of my good chocolate. Apparently I put it in my mouth and then promptly fell asleep. I am washing my pillowcase and hoping I can get ALL of the chocolate out of it. /sigh 🙄

Argh. Someone on my block has decided to leave their dog outside and it's barking a really shrill bark and I want to punch them.

If I have to have this stuck in my head so do you. 25 year old memory decided to make a comeback tonight. 🤨

Can it get any more on the nose than this?

I am sad because we have another year of going dark for Halloween. In the nearly 20 years I've lived here, we've had TWO trick-or-treaters because of where our house is. A couple of years before COVID we just stopped buying candy. I wind up eating it all myself because nobody ever comes. 😭

I know how much it sucks that people may not get SNAP... was on food stamps for several years when my kids were very young. That was ALL the money we had for food. Ex and I ate ramen and Kraft mac and cheese for three months so we could feed the kids proper meals. Getting food stamps was a gift.

Scary pictures for Halloween! RAWR

Drinking hot cocoa, wearing my comfy robe and fuzzy slippers. I like fall.

Folks, please don't post AI pictures to support your point.

I've only seen one nazi tattoo in person, on a probationary box boy at the grocery store who showed up to work in short sleeves on his second day and was promptly fired, where are all these "my best friend has a nazi tattoo u are being very unfair to Graham Platner!" people coming from anyway

Please do *not* circulate this story that the NC GOP does not want circulated. Please, they have threatened you nicely, please.

Re-upping this piece once more because it was a long time in the making. But also because after he was wrongly accused by media outlets, law firms, and politicians, Silverman deserves to have as many people read about his vindication as possible.

My best girl hanging out with me before bed.

What could possibly go wrong?

Looks like things might be coming back online. Well, at least battle.net never went down so I could still play WoW.

*sigh*

America right now is an airplane that the crew is actively trying to dismantle mid-flight while at least half the passengers are sitting bare-knuckled just hoping we somehow eke out a survivable landing. (The other half are, inexplicably, rooting for the dismantling.)

Hubby got me some birthday presents. I do NOT deserve this man.

There are a lot of movies that start out JUST LIKE THIS.

This is the tiniest dog I've ever seen. She's my MIL's "teacup" Yorkie. She is wearing a KITTEN harness that is too big for her. No, she is not a puppy, she's 13 years old. Yes, she is missing half of her lower jaw. I don't know why. She also has no teeth. Do not buy backyard bred dogs.

Good information here.

This makes me sick.

So the whole world is just going to let him bully them around? Haven't they figured out he always wants more, no matter how much they give him? Just like any other bully.

If a Nazi Tattoo isn’t your line, you have no line. There are six months till the primary pick a new favorite like Jordan or run a new person. There aren’t only 2 people in Maine. And nine others are currently running in the primary. It isn’t him about him being left, it is the Nazi tattoo.

Of course he is. I wouldn't be surprised if he plastered his name on it in big gold letters.

Fund Me Fridays is back! In honor of Link, who remains unjustly banned, I will be reposting mutual aid links under this thread. Drop your links and let’s meet some needs!

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

You know who else had a bunker under a ballroom.

This thing will wind up having even more gold than it shows here, and will be as gaudy as a Las Vegas casino.

Double rainbow all the way

The demolition of the East Wing of the White House represents a collective loss-a serious affront to United States history and architectural heritage. While some may argue that modernization justifies this project, the country cannot overlook the profound cultural significance of the East Wing ...

It's a good thing this all came out before the primary, eh? Give someone else a chance to win.

What. The. Fuck.

It's my birthday today and if you're appreciated my coverage over all these years, please considering subscribing to my newsletter. I'm really proud of the reporting and commentary we're publishing at PN every day and paid subscribers make my work possible. Thanks.

"Sure, we informed you after it was already knocked down, but why are you complaining??"

Doesn't look like he bothered (of course not) to follow the proper procedure. At all.

Well I guess that's one way to solve your health problems...

I've posted this link in several replies, but in case anyone is wondering about Trump's "world class architects" here is their website. I'm pretty sure every picture on this ONE PAGE WEBSITE is a render and/or AI.

Someone please make this happen.
