"I have a different way of calculating percentages!" I insist, as the judge reads my indictment for fraud.

Support for impeaching Trump has reached Jan6 levels, just shy of Nixon resignation. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-04-22...

Stolen from some dude on Threads... Alan Dershowitz: I didn’t leave the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party turned 18

Nobody has ever had stronger "hates subways, got super excited when Elon pitched the Hyperloop" energy.

This is, if nothing else, a pretty good exemplar of what the word "freedom" means within the US conservative movement: All of my preferences are mandatory. Anything I dislike is forbidden.

Some people are born on 3rd base. This guy was born in the owner's suite. Still, it's taken him a lifetime to work his way up to the position of equipment manager. And his primary concern appears to be that too many Americans lack his elite genetics.

Bluesky has activated the Emergency Pervert Filter, which makes the site basically unusable for known perverts. This filter was activated hours ago. Anyone struggling to use the site should notify their local police. Thank you!

Every week the "Tsar sends Baltic fleet to Japan" vibes around the Iran war get stronger and stronger.

Portugal saw at least 20 road deaths over Easter Week. The government is now calling for 1. Return of a "transit brigade" to police the roads 2. Heavier penalties 3. A revision of the decades-old traffic code 4. More traffic cameras 5. Municipal road safety plans www.publico.pt/2026/04/15/s...

It doesn't get any more "Jesus and John Wayne" than stealing a fake bible verse from a Tarantino movie, which was previously stolen from a Samurai movie. @kkdumez.bsky.social, if you're listening. I think there's a new forward for your next edition here.

I love how this admin is like "The Pope needs to shut up, pray, and keep our name out of his loser mouth!!!!" Also, "Heads up, oil cos., we're going to be WAAAAAtching you. So, if oil inexplicably falls, and gas prices stay high, we'll know, and you'll know we know, that you're not being cool.

analogy for the America brained is like if the Dems lost to Trump four times in a row and then ran Mitt Romney to save the country and won crazy supermajorities and also Mitt Romney was named Johnny America

This meeting could’ve been an email

Pretty revolting, and a disconcerting indication of what kind of orders are going out from the White House. But it doesn't exactly project strength that Trump feels the need to make these commitments with almost 3 years left in his term.

Our entire economy revolves around a two-tiered model, marketing premium services to the ultra-wealthy-for whom the upgrade cost is a pittance-while nickle and diming regular people for substandard often demeaning goods and services. It was not always like this. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/10/b...

Marco Rubio realising he has to move to Avignon and be the Antipope

The year is 2026. An entire wing of the White House lies in rubble. The President, a psychotic former game show host, began the week teasing a possible nuclear strike like the season finale of all civilization. The 1st Lady today, unprompted, denied ties to the world's most notorious sex trafficker.

If the government can buy a map of movements by journalists and suspected leakers, "confidential sources" can’t exist. Congress should pass the Government Surveillance Reform Act and close the data broker loophole once and for all. 🔗 freedom.press/issues/sourc...

Wait, are they bringing up the Epstein files to distract from the disastrous war they started to distract from the Epstein files?

chyron has me asking a lot of questions already answered by the chyron

"Do I have the right to say prosperous immigrants like my wife's family deserve fewer rights than the poor whites of my youth, whom I smear as lazy free-riders in my airport memoir? "Yes! "Do I do it? "Yes! Because she never thought to demand a 'skydive agreement' against me doing that!"

There's a reason they want to defund university history departments.

My one-hour special “Rick Steves Iran: Yesterday and Today,” which helps humanize 90 million Iranian people, is streaming free and ad-free at www.ricksteves.com/watch-iran.

People will come on this site and post about the electoral college, first-past-the-post elections, and the rural bias of the Senate. Those are all things that should change. But a more pressing, and I think redressable problem, is the lack of consequence for blatantly lying in public.

On Tuesday, liberal and conservative slates will battle for control of the utility board overseeing energy policy in Phoenix. As electricity rates have gone up, these boards have emerged as key battlegrounds. It’s part of our April elections guide:

It would almost make sense to consolidate this kind of global engagement in some center within the state department

"Sir, the thing is," I say. Big burly, macho soldier that I am. Mustache like a patio broom. Eyes like steel-bottom pools filling with tears. "You're the only man on earth brave enough, cunning enough, manly enough, to personally lead this mission. YOU have to fly the lead helicopter!"

A non-trivial determinant of your outlook on AI is your gut reaction to hearing "Wow! Great idea!" when you ask it to write a grocery list. I grew up when kids were mean. And such vapid praise gives me the same feeling as walking a dark alley in a bad part of town. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Now imagine what being surrounded by sycophantic humans for your entire life does to your brain.

This story quotes zero Democrats (on record or anonymous) expressing confusion, disagreement, or "disaray" about overtime taxes. But you'd never guess that from the headline or lead. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

This should be a nightmare for any self-respecting writer. Yet, I don't get the impression Klein is doing this as some sort of thought experiment. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/o...

I MADE THIS IN DECEMBER. I'M YELLING. I FUCKING CALLED IT LMAOOOOO

Pope makes it official, "Your flag decal won't get you into Heaven anymore." Rest in power, John Prine.

I too have a theory: Democrats who think they can gain personally by crapping on the places most their voters live, rather than running against a historically unpopular GOP president are cynical opportunists and politically illiterate. They should be pushed to the back bench of the party.

Chudds: "I'm voting Trump, bc he won't get us into any wars, like the ones Biden didn't start and hasn't sent Americans to fight in." Trump: "Nobody can stop me from war criming!"

Openly bragging about receiving secret emoluments.

Me, stranded in the car on the side of the road: Joe Biden used up all the gas and DIDN'T refill the tank!! My kids in the back: But you saw the gas gauge blinking red when you pulled onto the freeway? Me: Joe FRICKIN' Biden My kids: But... You can read the gas gauge, right?

Y'know what? Fuck Reacher for speeding through the neighborhood on his li'l Hollywood prick bike! And big ups to this doughie, all-ballz neighbor, for trying to put a stop to it.... Pending additional details

New bit I've perfected if anyone brings up a problem: I don't really follow politics but it was never like this before Trump. "But the Democrats and the funding and--" Yeah like I said I don't really follow that. There was always politics but before Trump it was never like this. That's all I know

I think a non-trivial determinant of your outlook on AI is your gut reaction to someone/thing that says "Wow! Great idea!" when you ask if they can help write down a grocery list. No, that obviously wasn't a great idea. What kind of sleazy angle are you buttering me up for?

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

So we're just re-running EVERY dumbass Iraq talking point from 2003?
