Live your life so that at the end, when you are hospitalized and people are debating if you are dead, very nearly dead, or brain-dead but still breathing restfully, the matter isn't an endless source of internet comedy, contempt-filled criticism and weekend-at-Bernie jokes.

Independence Hall, July 4, 2026

Philly - Friday, July 3, 2026 #America250

Hot as hell today, but marchers are gonna march, Independence Hall in Philly #America250

On one hand, it seems astounding that RFK Jr.’s anti-vax organization didn’t vet her before including her in a lawsuit against AAP, in which she claimed that vaccines killed her twins. On the other, it shows the endless capacity of anti-vaxxers to take the word of a random person over facts.

The Trump admin could replace the exhibit memorializing the 9 people George Washington enslaved in his Philadelphia home any days. After today, no legal obstacles are in the admin’s way to install panels that, for example, say Washington at times bought people he kept in bondage theater tix. 🎁 🔗

"We have extraordinary things like Buc-ee's and Chick-fil-A, very convenient to eat in your car while you're having a phone call. It's an amazing country."

Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!

Can’t stay away from my favorite place, the Great American State Fair.

Trump ripped up the walkway between the West Wing and the mansion to replace it with polished African granite carved in Italy. "Paid for by me," he claimed. Except that's not true. Taxpayers paid $689,232, per documents obtained by @michaelscherer.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

she blocked me for this btw

Trump is mad that Regime Change books talks about his disgusting bathroom, so we should talk about it more, even though it's totally gross (via @swin24.bsky.social ) zeteo.com/p/trump-the-...

“Loitering is not permitted in this area. Please proceed to a designated location. Thank you for your cooperation,” a surveillance machine tells a small cluster of National Guard members as they patrol the fenced off Reflecting Pool in the rain.

Yes they are ghosts and they are on Mars and Mars is ruled by women, which is kind of a thing but also not really relevant in any way

Ok you guys. Here’s the deal. The M7.1 in Venezuela was upgraded to a M7.2. AND it was followed shortly by a M7.5. Not good.

Urgent policing at the reflecting pool in DC. A tourist touched the water.

"The singer, Parastoo Ahmadi, was sentenced last week at a closed trial in Qom Province along with eight band and crew colleagues. A video of the 2024 performance in which the singer’s hair, arms and shoulders are uncovered, in defiance of Iranian law, went viral on YouTube."

TIL trump drove across the empty reflecting pool last month. Did the motorcade drive over the blue coating?

"Halothane is still widely used across sub-Saharan Africa to put children to sleep for operations, primarily because it can be seven to 10 times cheaper than the newer alternative, sevoflurane. But the last halothane manufacturer shut down its production line in India in 2023 ..."

The now famous explosion of the roof-tossing oil silo in Moscow, Russia, was probably caused by a Russian air defense missile. Absolutely hilarious.

I love this. Unmute.

Listen as a New Jersey judge orders a newspaper (New Brunswick Today) to delete a security video the school district wanted deleted from the internet -- and orders the newspaper not to write about it *at all.* This is a prior restraint in violation of the First Amendment.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was an anti-fascist German Lutheran pastor who opposed Hitler and the Nazi Party so effectively that they murdered him in 1945. He is only a bad guy if you literally spend all your time on far-right, neo-Nazi websites and have pickled your brain in fascist group chats.
