Donald Trump says that he’s Jesus. Some liberal critics disagree.

On one hand, this is objectively hilarious and the latest surprise twist in one of my favorite ongoing storylines. On the other, we truly do live in the dumbest timeline.

my favorite Bible story is probably the one where Jesus starts an unprovoked, unnecessary and illegal war, blows up a building full of schoolgirls, destabilizes the world's economy, tells the Pope to go fuck himself, and then jets off for a long weekend of golf at Galilee-a-Lago

Maybe James David Vance should "be careful" before lecturing the leader of his self-proclaimed faith on matters of church doctrine and tradition.

"Recent convert lectures Pope on theology" might be one of my favorite storylines of the last month or so.

It will be extremely funny if Vance manages to get himself excommunicated before his book on becoming a Catholic releases.

I keep screaming from the rooftops that print news is the future and we better start figuring out what that looks like, and literally no one in the news industry believes me.

BREAKING: DOJ investigates the Hungarian electorate for Mortgage Fraud

From Tolkien’s letter 64 to Christopher Tolkien in 1944: “All we do know . . . is that evil labours with vast power and perpetual success-in vain: preparing always only the soil for unexpected good to sprout in.”

Some YA fantasy authors who to my knowledge have never funded an attempted trans genocide: Terry Pratchett Diana Wynne-Jones Garth Nix Suzanne Collins Susan Cooper Phillip Pullman Rick Riordan Pierce Brown Sheri S. Tepper V. E. Schwab Rachel Hartman Alex Pheby Alan Garner Ursula Le Guin And more!

We can afford to make people's lives better; we just don't want to.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

A leading exec at PBS KIDS breaks down the impact of recent government cuts and what to do about them. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/p...

Someone should probably remind Bondi that AG John Mitchell went to jail, not Nixon.

The Oregon Nurses Association and state Democratic lawmakers announced a bill Friday that would require hospitals and some federally funded primary care clinics to designate certain areas as off-limits to federal immigration enforcement agents, unless they have a valid judicial warrant.

We need more of Fred Rogers' energy. We put a "We are *all* neighbors" flag out in front of the house recently. Been thinking of his "look for the helpers" story lately. They're killing the helpers 😡

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

For those who can, here are links to donate directly to local efforts on the ground resisting ICE's terrorizing of Minneapolis. Let me know what you donated to where, and I'll match it until I get a panicked call from my bank! linktr.ee/mplsmutualaid

ICE Vows To Restore Order Using Whatever Force Unnecessary

We have been told for years that regular mass shootings are a price we have to pay for the 2A to protect us from tyrannical govt. Today those exact same people who have told us this are applauding the *mere possession* of a permitted handgun being used to justify an execution by federal agents.

People *will* die because of this lunacy sowing doubt and mistrust of vaccines that have the weight of the unequivocal backing of scientific and medical communities for their safety and efficacy. It will take *decades* to repair the damage this admin is doing to trust in science and medicine.

PBS sharing an article that was sure to include this critical part of the auction for public media is my favorite thing of the day. "A large, gold-plated re-creation of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s balls... landed $25,500"

"The voters just handed us a resounding victory less than a week ago and every poll shows they are siding with us on this specific issue. Welp, better cave instantly on hollow promises and make this all for absolutely nothing" - The Democrats, who are allergic to winning anything ever.

I think one of the things that non-evangelicals find most annoying about evangelicals is when they claim that other people can’t lead happy and fulfilling lives unless they believe in the same things that they do.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

There can’t be any gun restrictions because we have to protect against federal government tyranny, and if kids get shot we just have to live with it. Also the President can send troops to cities because the federal government can do whatever it wants. These two ideas are consistent and reasonable.

The Greatest Country on Earth™️ just cut healthcare and SNAP for over 17 million of its poorest citizens to give another tax cut to the richest people on earth and give the ICE militia more funding than all but a few militaries in the world while simultaneously adding trillions in new debt. Murica

Pedro Pascal defended calling out JK Rowling as a "heinous loser" and said that "bullies make me fucking sick" and that he wants to "protect the people I love." variety.com/2025/tv/news...

HAVE THE PENGUINS CAPITULATED YET

Cool, cool. As someone who has been 2 payments away from completing the PSLF requirements for nearly a year because of the deferment due to the BS legal challenges, and works for a health care organization... Guess I'll just be fucked. Neat.

One of the numerous ways this kook with a brain worm is going to kill people.

I think he's actually dumber than we think, and he literally doesn't understand the words people are using and too arrogant to ask. I realized it as he's been going on about people with "disabilities" working at the FAA clearly thinking that means people with cognitive impairment. 1/2

We're really going to be forced to watch the Chiefs vs. Eagles, aren't we? It's down to Allen or Lamar, and Daniels to save us...
