Romantic optimism is all well and good, but no relationship commitment I can make will ever be as strong as the commitment to never again share control of the thermostat. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/o...

In the end we were just his latest casino and whatnot.

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

sorry I seem distracted just have to keep checking my phone to see if one of my freedoms is being arbitrarily taken away

"Bro-flakery is also a key value espoused by DeSantis’ appointed attorney general, James Uthmeier, who has gone after everyone from Starbucks to the NFL for supposedly not giving White guys enough jobs." The Orlando Sentinel's Scott Maxwell explains Florida's 'bro-flakes' & their 'bro-flakery.' 🎁🔗

when you see the price for a fill up going over $57, your first thought is obviously "well at least he's getting his golden ballroom"

Every warning brushed off. Every signal downplayed. Every prediction people thought was exaggerated. All of it has come true.

thank god the whcd shooter didn’t have seashells on him or things could’ve gotten real ugly

Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

I won't lie to you. Sitting in front of a computer poking fun at the powerful is good fun with or without beer.

every few months, americans are asked to resume their banquet and pretend a shooting didn't just happen

Trump wants to buy Spirit Airlines. It wouldn't be his first time running an airline. He bought Trump Shuttle in the 1980s, and ran it for three years without ever turning a profit. It finally went under thanks to—drum roll, please—high jet-fuel prices, caused by a war in the Middle East.

The Fraud's Prayer: Our Father, who art in the White House, hallowed be thy combover; thy blingdom come; thy will be dumb; In Washington as you are in Florida. Give us this day our daily round of golf. And forgive us our insider trading, as we refuse to forgive those who investigate against us...

The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar. Apparently like every day.

I think most people would prefer this. #Science

I’ll have what Hungary’s having.

An indignant rebuttal to no known Epstein accusation at all? Dig deeper? Listen to the survivors? Friends, we are so far into the Upside Down here that we are perilously close to being right side up. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/u...

I went and saw Project Hail Mary. A guy came in with his service dog and the dog sat there the whole time just concentrating on the movie. Afterwards I told the guy I was amazed your dog watched the movie like that. He replied, me too especially because he hated the book.

He enjoyed this. He doesn't see what he did as a normal human being would. He revels in the chaos, as a means to stay in the spotlight and enjoy the spectacle of people hanging on his next move. It makes him feel powerful. Which is also why he has to be removed from office.

The Iranians forming human shields on bridges and around infrastructure have more faith in Donald Trump's humanity and impulse control than I do.

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

"He wanted it big. He wanted lots of gold, lots of marble. He wanted visitors awestruck by his architectural expansion of the country’s symbolic seat of power." {gift link} www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The Iranian Embassy in South Africa weighs in:

Awesome view from Artemis II this morning.

Never a truer thing he’s said.

Artemis II sent a pic of the beautiful garden planet we are too greedy, lazy, short-sighted, and ungrateful not to destroy:

So inspiring

speak loudly and ask if you can borrow somebody else’s stick

The Supreme Court refuses to review an odious 5th Circuit decision granting qualified immunity to Texas officials who arrested a citizens-journalist in retaliation against her posing questions to public officials. Sotomayor has an appropriately furious dissent: www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

JD Vance’s name on his birth certificate is “James Donald Bowman.” He’s lucky he doesn’t have a vagina—because if he did, the SAVE Act would stop him from voting.

Never send a White Zinfandel to do a Cabernet’s job.

Going to be a rockin' time when chunks of my city fall into the earth because the dipshits who run our state gave Elon permission to drill through porous limestone.

I have to admit, seeing 3 Tesla cyber trucks parked side-by-side is pretty cool

The Ice Queen changed her face, could lose her husband, may eventually face criminal liability, all so she could lip sync her king and become one of the most hated women in America. How are you going to afford those hair extensions now Ms Noem?

Cricket right now

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

Walz: "There are no Somali folks in the Epstein files"

Sooner or later, the costs of disinvesting in state capacity become apparent. If you put more money into bombing places you need foreign service capacity more, not less

I'm sorry the rich guys can't literally escape the real world. ☹

For once, The Lincoln Project agrees with Trump.
