Fascism is contagious. Freedom of Speech be damned, Gov Abbott is claiming rainbow crosswalks violate Federal roadwork regulations (which they don't). His argument is that this is a political statement, which would also describe street displays for the Annual Livestock Show & Rodeo. #1stAmendment 🫤

What really angers me is why Pete Hegseth didn't stop Osama bin Laden last year after Trump warned him in his book, which he doesn't remember the name of, exactly one year ago. Exactly one year ago!!! I mean, the fake news wouldn't let him say it unless it was true! um... God help us.

I don't know why I'm such a whore for pumpkin spice everything. Everything. I know it's just a marketing gimmick There's probably no pumpkin, just the approximate spices, in it. But I can't help myself. It is a madness I cannot contain. If it was legal, I would marry pumpkin spice eggnog.

Harry Truman was known for starting every morning with a glass of bourbon. He said it was bracing as well as healthier than coffee You could learn a thing or two from Harry

Such a cheesy workaround Judge says there's no cause, no predicative conditions to nationalize the Oregon National Guard, so Cheetolini sends in the California guard. Whoever baked that FU to the Balance of Powers earned his paycheck... even if he's being paid in Roman silver

When the sky is this rich of a blue, is that because there's too much ozone in the air... or not enough?

Heroes rise up against a tyranny. Literally the oldest American story

On his way home from an immigration court appointment. The mom ends up literally begging for mercy from her attackers. This isn't law OR order

Amid the shitty news, a stop-and-smell-the-roses post.

I've been following Paul Lewandowski's commentary for a few years now. His commentary and analysis are always spot on. But his argument here for the need to highlight an American ideology in our armed forces is particularly compelling.

😡😡😡 𝐽'𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑠𝑒!! 🫵🌛 Apparently white supremacists have co-opted Mac Tonight as one of their icons. Yes, Mac tonight, the beloved avatar of jazz music and poor dietary decisions. This is worse than that time Chuck Yeager made a tv commercial for Republicans. When will this cruelty end?

Some of those people look suspiciously brown

They must've ended all that crime and warfare in record time

Maybe they can just have the passengers randomly pat each other down, or sign a Mayflower-like covenant among the customers and flight crew not to blow each other up. You'd be surprised at the number of problems that can be solved with radical democracy.

The sun is such a dick

Geoff Epstein's NY townhouse. (1) entry hall & staircase -- 𝑫𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒕𝒚𝒍𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒇𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒂𝒓? -- (2) exterior, (3) office w/painting, and (4) massage room.

Time to be horrified again.

Never paid a penny by Laugh-In or Flip Wilson. But Dewey "Pigmeat" Markham invented the "Hear Come the Judge" routine in the 1940s that others turned into a 60's catch phrase that upstaged his career.

It's not JUST another parade. But it's another parade.

Another voice for street violence

Man, this is one of those weeks that too much news is happening for me to process. In the news is scattered across several topics and there's a little bit of statistical clustering, I can see the trends. When it's all BS and all in a bad direction, my processor shuts down. Yeah. One of THOSE weeks.

They got away... this time

Oh Republicans, when are you 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 gonna learn? A good hairline is not a moral compass.

The best part of this newsreel is the outro music

Rare good news post

This is your annual reminder: it's called being a card sharp, not a "card shark"

TBH, I kinda get what he's going for here. I'm not sure this is the best incentive structure to achieve that end. We want top people to come here. But this setup assumes that top people already command top dollar & need no room for professional improvement. I can even see why he thinks that way.

Tin doesn't rust. It can corrode, but oil won't repair it. The whole Tin Woodsman story is built on a lie. But the talking Scarecrow... that's gotta be true, right?

Happy Constitution Day, me droogies

Mystery of the Street, Berlin 1928 by Umbo (Otto Umbehr)

Seriously though, using cancel culture to venerate the memory of free speech provocateur Charlie Kirk is peak 2025

Who's Luther?

I don't know how much more bad news I can take

If you're like me, you only care about the numbers. So skip reading this article. Here's what you want to know: Since 1975 (Cato Inst.) Islamists: 3,122 (incl.9/11) Right: 391 (incl. Oklahoma City) Left: 65 Since 2020 (ADL) Right: 44 Left: 18 Islamism: 17 (few actual Democrats or Republicans)

I don't think it's an actual outbreak of empathy if it only turns out his parents were donors.

Fun.

Charlie Kirk shouldn't have been shot. Charlie Kirk shouldn't have worked for a world where it is so easy for someone to be shot for their words. It was almost certainly the act of an unstable person who should not have had access to firearms. I hate how I'm worrying about the killer's politics.

So they haven’t caught the guy and you don’t have a ton of leads? Maybe sending all your federal law enforcement agents to help ICE and dismantling the JTTF and firing the head FBI field office for political reasons wasn’t the best idea.

Her eyes are so sunny.

Same guy who roughed up Elon Musk at a cabinet meeting 4 months ago Trump is hiring children, temperamental spoiled children, to run the country.

I don't know if this is satire or not. I give it 20% chance of being legit.

Sweet potatoes and yams are an example of convergent evolution. But which one makes the better french fry?

Wish people weren't posting so gleefully about Donald Trump's health troubles. A JD Vance administration will give you no reason to celebrate.
