My three-year-old was watching CBS when she turned to me gravely and asked ”Daddy, how come everyone sucks up to the orange man?” And when I told her “Because today’s elites are the most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization,” she started crying

I was so worried after Bill Owens quit 60 Minutes last year because that (honorable) departure didn’t get a ton of coverage, didn’t reach beyond the circle of already-interested journalists…. Good for Pelley – the only way to do this was to make a big stink and a huge noise

From 2014. He's a monster.

Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

Please kill me. I took a short (haha) nap, and woke up in the middle of this video. I just don't have the heart to go back and watch the rest. So, NO THANK YOU, "Centrists."

He might be dying, but somehow he has the energy to initiate and sustain all these projects of self-aggrandizement

Musk v Altman JUDGE: The jury has sent a question and the answer is no, the death penalty is not "available for both sides" please return to the jury room and limit your consideration to civil damages.

TRUMP: Routinely falls asleep on camera, has unexplained injuries on his makeup-caked hands, regularly makes genocidal threats, posts nonstop AI slop, compares himself to Christ, goes on unhinged rants every time he appears in public THE ATLANTIC: "He's becoming purer"

well, lucky for us fox news hosts arent in charge of the military lol can you even imagine what a disaster that would be

What is the Chrysler Buillding? #jeopardy

NYT: "It remains unclear if the announcement represents a serious effort to disburse cash or... " Hey @nytimes.com, have you met Donald Trump? #Morons

Who came out on top in the negotiations between President Trump and China's Xi Jinping? We asked four unvaccinated Buffalo Sabres fans who'd been ejected from an NHL playoff game.

@pbsnews.org Brooks: "the summit was a net positive." Fuck you, Bobo. When Trump is offering the same level of support to Taiwan that he is to Ukraine, it really was NOT. Hey Capehart! Not impressed when you fumble and fluster as if you expected Brooks to agree that the summit was a disaster!

@driftglass.bsky.social @bluegal.bsky.social This article upends the "diner safari" genre, in that it goes far beyond the typical uncritical NYT "look at these fine rural folk with their fascinating opinions" dreck. #CommonClayOfTheNewWest #Morons open.substack.com/pub/patricem...

I am increasingly frustrated with the endless D struggle session about messaging. Your voters are getting outright disenfranchised! Your messaging doesn't matter if you don't fix that! www.everythingishorrible.net/p/if-your-vo...

The President is telling the IRS to give him $10 billion rn

What a paragraph. Under the headline “Is Trump’s affordability ‘pivot’ enough?”

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

Rand Paul, like Inspector Javert from Les Miserables, will never cease to persecute Fauci. His soul is full of vengeance...sad!

virgnia foxx is one of those low key members who has been abjectly horrible her entire time in office. a total degenerate.

"I don't think about Americans' financial situation" 175 more days until you get to vote against this and every Republican who enabled it to go on this long.

We already know

southern state governments are banning black congressional representation and installing statues of men who waged a war to continue the enslavement of black people in public parks

Doctors say that a Vitamin K injection given at birth saves the lives of hundreds of newborns. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and takes raccoon penises home for "further study" says the injection can create mitochondrial challenges. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

@pbsnews.org Your story on Clarence Thomas used a description and verbiage ("towering figure") almost identical to this AP story. www.wandtv.com/news/nationa...

Neil Gorsuch was on Megyn Kelly’s show today.

This horse has a one-of-a-kind sense of humor. Watch as it teases the cat and then puts on an innocent face when caught in the act.
