Wilson: I guarantee you there are 10 reporters in D.C. right now who know exactly what Mitch McConnell’s medical status is. They’re not reporting it.  If I’m Beshear, brother, just declare the election. And if they want to prove that Mitch McConnell is alive and well, go do it.

Went to a car show today and saw a Lotus Evora with a Really Big Wing. License plate was "OMGBEKY", and printed on the plate surround was "look at her butt". Don't think I've ever seen a car pass the Bechdel test before.

Individualists, all the same...

It’s Weird, Very Weird….

I was on the phone with Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes, and the shed was going to get the house cleaned out 😔

How do we get rid of the corruption when the corrupt are the ones in charge of removing the corruption? I know that Americans businesses have this attitude that they need to self-regulate themselves, but hasn’t that failed a million times over the last 250 years?

Spot the difference

Sir, sir, tears in my eyes, the only gift we really want from you is your autograph on a sheet of White House stationary, below the words "I quit."

Anyone saying they want to do a genital check on kids before they can play on a sports team needs to get a throat punch and be curb-stomped until they change their shitty life choices

Taney: black people aren't people Roberts: hold my beer Worst SCOTUS ever

All of us are creatures of a day; the rememberer and the remembered alike. All is ephemeral-both memory & the object of memory. The time is at hand when you will have forgotten everything; and the time is at hand when all will have forgotten you. Marcus Aurelius, The Meditations

Today my son and I skipped the crowds at the Louvre and went to the Musee Mineralogie Ecole des Mines instead. It was €7 for the both of us and we saw two thousand of the coolest rocks of all time and there were 4 other people there.

Something that never comes up when people do the Seattle vs the Texans defense debate is that Seattle and Houston actually played each other and the Seahawks offense dropped 27 on them in a game where JSN went for 130 yards Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Morning 🤣.

"Fiction that the illiterate can't read is mean!"

Can we finally all agree that the argument “we should run the country like a business, and therefore elect businessmen to run it” has been a failed experiment?

Not to downplay the seriousness of this but... I don't think this is the all-time high for antisemitism in GERMANY

Just because

This rule is not new, in fact

Finding a cure for #autism is about managing neurotypical people's discomfort interacting with us. What we actually need a cure for is your ableist bullshit.

Seeing as how everyone except Trump and his flunkies knew this is what conflict with Iran would entail, it seems more appropriate to call it a Memorandum of Lack of Understanding

Laura Ingraham threw the salute in 2020 and everyone memory holed it...

I always find it funny when people say "this era will be judged harshly in history books". Like, if we've learned anything from recent world events, it's that nobody reads history books.

WNBA officiating is objectively terrible. Someone is going to get seriously hurt. c.org/57s4bZZffT

Excuse my French! It’s pretty fucked up! #Pinks #USDemocracy

As oil literally rains down in Russia, a reminder that no military can reasonably or effectively strike millions of solar panels across thousands of miles. That’s actual energy security…

Back When We Had An American President, Not A Russian One.

Oh good. Nothing says ‘freedom’ quite like politicians editing history plaques until reality feels more comfortable. Now a judge has ordered them to put the facts back. Awkward when the Constitution keeps interrupting the rebrand campaign.

Nothing says “dying civilization” like gladiator fights at the capitol for the emperor’s amusement.

Imagine you had so much food in your house that, no matter have hard they tried, your family couldn't possibly eat it. Then, imagine what would happen if you continued to buy and hoard more food, filling cupboard after cupboard. You'd be considered mentally ill Why is this never applied to money?

My friend took his family to see the Michael Jackson movie and his son claimed it was the greatest movie he’d ever seen but I’m a real MJ fan so I don’t believe the accounts of little boys

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

Robert Reich has the answer… The ceiling on income subject to Social Security payroll tax must be raised. If all income in excess of $400,000 were subject to Social Security payroll tax, solvency would be guaranteed forever, and also expand SS benefits. robertreich.substack.com/p/they-dont-...

I think this is what NYC must have felt like during the events seen in the documentary Ghostbusters

What was the score of Game 4 at 9:55 EDT? Because that's when I found an unworn Knicks cap in my closet and put it on. Asking since I'm okay with any outcome...

When one of the most respected referees in world football is refused entry by the host nation, because they don't like his home country, the correct response of the other referees should be to boycott the tournament unless he is allowed to do his job. Sadly, that won't happen.

An excellent cartoon. 😂 Can't see a credit for this, if anyone knows then please post. Very apropos though - lol.

Putin refuses a ceasefire. Zelenskyy agrees to it. Putin refuses a direct meeting. Zelenskyy agrees to it. Putin continues to attack Ukrainian civilians. Zelenskyy retaliates on strategic and military targets. Politicians calling for "both sides" to "negotiate" serve russia.

The world’s most famous Real Madrid fan, Pope Leo XIV, makes a triumphant entrance into the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. Madrid, Spain🇻🇦🇪🇸💕

It's pretty crazy how we have both the World Cup and America 250 this year and almost no one cares about them because the administration has wholly sucked the joy out of even momentous national events.

Just don't. Ever.
