The strait of Hormuz is open for transit

the funniest thing about Fetterman pretending Greenland wants to be part of the US is that Danish citizens have so much more freedom than Americans. Like what could we possibly offer? Health insurance scams? More guns than people?

Make a Bond Movie casual Anyway, here’s Thunderball

A Lord of the Rings cover band called West Folds 5

Pete Hegseth, plastered against the wall, shaking with horror. Several of the little green army men toys he was playing with have turned their heads to stare unblinking at him.

A class war Thanksgiving greeting from the early 20th-century socialist newspaper Appeal to Reason.

Sean Duffy, fore and middle fingers pressing hard into his temples, staring hard at the latest burning helicopter wreck on the Reagan Intl Airport tarmac. He wills it all to disappear. Stubbornly, it persists.

Mike Johnson, panting, clamps his hands over his mouth and crouches, back against the wall of the cloak room. An enormous, mucus covered MSNOW microphone slowly rounds the corner. It opens and a second smaller microphone extrudes towards his face.

Kristi Noem, in an oversize flak jacket and wrap-around sunglasses, unrolls a blueprint in the mobile office of her newest concentration camp. It's schematics for the scream extractor in Monster's Inc.

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

JD Vance eats alone at the long table in his estate's dining room. He chuckles at something the AI Chatbot on his phone says. It is propped up on the seat where Usha used to sit.

Howard Lutnick, shoulders slumped, presses hard on a bubble of indigestion in his solar plexus. He stands in front the "Trade War General" costume Fox News has laid out for him along with another $22 bottle of Pepto Bismol.

Pam Bondi, working late in her home office under a pool of desk lamp light. She compulsively tugs her unwashed hair and sighs as she once again opens the folder labeled "good attorneys".

Tulsi Gabbard grips the frame of the door to the 8th floor conference room and steps back. Her staff knows she refuses to meet in any room with windows.

Scott Bessent, dozing off in the lobby of his hotel in Davos, smiles. He is daydreaming of an imaginary number that doesn't make anyone mad at him.

Jared Isaacman with a fresh haircut, pressing his forehead against the window overlooking the Cape Canaveral launch pad. "Rocket ships. Rocket ships," he whispers to himself.

Kash Patel, tense and sweating, teeth grinding, fists balled above the keyboard of his FBI office computer. A dozen men in dark suits and dark expressions crowd behind him, expectantly. One the screen is a single prompt. PASSWORD?

Pete Hegseth wakes, naked save for his Tap Out hoodie. He stares, bleary eyed, at the fresh MOLON LABE tattoo just above his penis. He cannot recall getting it.

Linda McMahon angrily snaps her fingers at the homeless boy she has just decided to adopt.

Karoline Leavitt, frozen in front of the studio's makeup mirror, staring wide eyed at where her cross necklace has fallen upside down for the third time this morning

Marco Rubio, eyes downcast, mouth a thin line, folds himself into the large valise that will be loaded into the cargo bay of the Qatari golden plane.

RFK Jr., over the ear headphones blasting Tony Robbins affirmations, squints at the blood lab results he has administered to himself. He is pregnant.

Tom Homan, arms wrapped around a sack of $50k in cash, crouching low between a stack of Epstein files and Venezuela invasion plans, hoping everyone forgot about him

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Bondi will do to the Epstein files what Barr did to the Mueller report. Get out ahead with a nothingburger summary before the real thing drops.

PA deserves better than Fetterman actionnetwork.org/forms/help-p...

They hate being ridiculed⤵️

I remember this Seinfeld episode

This is why your Fox News-watching relatives think half the country supports Donald Trump. Notice Fox doesn’t turn the camera to the crowd. 👀

white smoke gender reveal party. the new pope is a boy.

Ed Martin, Trump's pick for D.C. U.S. District Attorney, ghostwrote online attacks against an Illinois judge with whom he was in a legal dispute. We obtained emails that show Martin bought a laptop for the woman who made the posts and coached her on how to make them look organic: propub.li/4d1aut5

stuck in a stack of stochastic kakistocracy

Switch 2 would've cost $450. Trump tariffs will now make it cost $558.

I’m not a democrat. I’m a Leftist

I nominate Pennsylvania to be the 11th province of Canada. Please get us out of here.

I pledge a grievance to the flag waving of the unindicted co-conspirators of America. And to the republicans, whom I cannot stand. One abomination, underhanded fraud, indefensible, with liberty and justice forget it.

Trying my best not to be radicalized towards violence. Civil disobedience and non-violence are the only legitimate options forward.

Can’t spend time re-litigating the past. Honest actions come next. Tax Strike. General Strike. A list of demands beginning with prosecution of the Jan 6 and Mar A Lago crimes of Trump

There is a huge gap between legitimacy and authority. Call it out and ignore it. Illegitimate Supreme Court can’t pass an ethics check. Illegitimate government agency DOGE not chartered by legislation. Illegitimate president violating 14th amendment. I refuse to accept any illegitimate authority.

Via @capitolhunters.bsky.social, here's the Social Security IG report that explains the discrepancy Musk has been claiming to have found (which Karoline Leavitt parroted). It clarifies these people are not being paid. oig.ssa.gov/assets/uploa...

Love the turkey, hate the tryptophangover

Reading Dhalgren and feeling like I'm trapped and searching for some inchoate point in it all just like the characters.

Drawing a lot of strength from LOTR soundtrack rn. When the cold of winter comes, Starless night will cover say. In the veiling of the sun, We will walk in bitter rain...

Shouting this into the void: I'm looking for weird sci-fi books. What would you recommend?

We all gotta start somewhere.
