Why covered bridges? I mean, if it’s raining hard enough to take cover, isn’t the last place you want to do that is directly over a raging river?

While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.

My favorite thing about culture is when artists who seem new and dangerous wind up decades later performing to universal cheers on the teenage mutant ninja turtles float at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

It‘s hilarious that Trump is so manipulable. A smart tactful diplomat has Trump eating out of his hand. Can one of the duties of mayor of New York be staying in the Lincoln bedroom a few nights a week?

Twitter implemented a new feature last night that displayed the country an account is in. So many of the ‘America First’ accounts were from foreign countries that they had to disable the feature within hours. 🙄

“We’re doing some fix-up of the base, which it needs. We’re gonna try and reinstitute the golf courses. I’m meeting with the greatest Jack Nicklaus,” Trump told reporters..." "Located in Maryland, about 15 miles... from the White House, Andrews houses Air Force One." He really has his priorities 🙄

This Guardian article (below) gives me an excuse to post one of my favorite things. Here is early Martha Stewart burying Julia Child in wediing cake. Julia tries to keep up, but by the end of the second hour, she is stunned and exhausted as Martha takes the crown from her. youtu.be/eNGlJ6IFt8M?...

Yes, sadly it is real.

🚨 SMALL DOG ALERT 🚨 Run don’t walk. Meet MACC’s Bearded Beauty. Acorn is brand new to the adoption floor and this little girl won’t last long. I don’t know a lot of details on her. But you all are always wondering if we get small dogs. Here’s your chance at a catch of a lifetime.

Trump’s campaign to quell dissent by deploying the American military to U.S. cities comes at an immense price.

BREAKING NEWS: Eight Idiot Democratic Senators Vote to Rescue Trump and Screw America

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

Sounds plausible.

We need a better plan than “We will hold them accountable.”

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Seems plausible.

Evil beyond words. Republicans institutionalize sadism.

I’m not made of money, but I can do this, and match me if you can: for every week the dems hold out, I’ll send $50 to my local food bank starting Monday, November 10.

This is a satisfying read, and I agree: voters hate Trump. Dems had a sweeping night because we are not Trump. newrepublic.com/article/2027...

My dog ate a jar of cold cream last night and she farted cold cream all over everything all night long, I’m having to wash everything, and from her ribs to the tip of her tail, she’s greasy. And you’d think she’d smell good and cleaned out, but she does not. #dogs

Remember: every dollar spent on genuine community building among core constituencies is a dollar not spent on TV ads.

Maybe unleashing secret militarized police on the public while taking food from the poor wasn’t the electoral masterstroke we all thought it was.

My dad knew Cheney since he was fords chief of staff and would always say “i liked him then. Idk what the hell happened” In the run up to the second Iraq war my dad wrote an article comparing it to the gulf of Tonkin and Cheney himself made sure my father was fired from his gov job Anyway he’s dead

Great recipe tips:

"The Republican Party has created an entirely avoidable mess for itself. By taking a resolute stand in favor of making healthcare unobtainable for many Americans, and now threatening to starve children to achieve that perverse goal, they have made performative cruelty their political calling card."
