the reporters in the briefing room do the shuck and jive so they can build a brand. where did you first hear about jake tapper? he was abc's wh correspondent. he parlayed that into "this week" then jumped to his gig at cnn where he writes thriller novels and politics books to make a shit ton of $$$

At least half of me is watching The Studio every week for Seth Rogen’s glasses.

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Ok, so far Government Cheese is somehow the only show ever released on AppleTV that doesn’t look like it was shot through putty.

Ugh I’m getting so many of these

SORRY. Sorry. Have we seen this *incredible* news video coming out of Queensland? Wait for the witness/witnesses statement

Roku serves SO many ads for Mormon TV! I haven’t watched any of it, so I like to assume Studio C, their sketch comedy show, is just “ALL THAT!” with adults.

Staple this to RFK Jr’s forehead.

it remains endlessly fascinating that trump’s most reliable SCOTUS votes aren’t the ones he nominated

These stories landed today, within 11 hours of each other. This presidential administration is a clear and present danger to the American people.

Hi, I’m autistic and I’m the mayor of my city.

Books are worthless which is why Meta needed to steal more than 7 million of them

Everyone in the San Fernando Valley drives like they’ve either been to Aggressive Asshole School, or they’re going 10mph while wearing a paper surgical mask under their nose.

Twelve of them! They got Zuck too

CEOs upset about Trump’s tariffs sound like mob bosses shouting “I thought we had a deal!” at the Joker.

My main takeaway from THE PITT: if I have some kind of medical emergency, a whole lot of professional strangers are going to see my dick.

"let's make a movie that will appeal to kids and teens" used to be conventional wisdom but Hollywood somehow forgot it and started trying to please 35 year old supernerds instead

Imagine taking the doodlebug up to see your best gal and your rival shows up in a flying hamburger

DO NOT MISTAKE EARNESTNESS FOR A THING TO BE AFRAID OF. “Cringe” or s too often simply just the word used to mask the discomfort that comes with being vulnerable! It’s okay to feel vulnerable about being earnest about important issues in the world!

2024: Vote Trump he will cut your taxes and lower prices and make us all rich 2025: When you really think about it is money even real?

Loving the right-wing turn towards “Why’s everyone always so worried about Money, and Possessions, these days…” strangely coinciding with the big man tanking the economy

Dow Down 2200+ Points Fox:

I’m loving The Pitt, and truly one of my favorite things is that in 2025 it portrays a hospital that isn’t lit like a basement jazz club.

I’m a wee, glasses-wearing fella who’s taken the subway at 3 or 4am many times between 1993 and now, and, uh, I was fine every time. Then again, I don’t have the racist paranoia that every nonwhite person is coiled to attack me with a gleaming blade.

BREAKING NEWS - South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol REMOVED from office by the court's unanimous decision www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

The outpouring of love for Val Kilmer is lovely, AND makes me think of every actress branded as “difficult,” because that’s how Kilmer was labeled the entire back half of his career. But we know it’s not true: he pushed back on two not-great directors, and it affected his career & his life.

let’s see who has the unfortunate task of ringing the opening bell tomorrow … ah perfect

“Activist judges,” though, remember??

Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley on Crawford: "I think the way Judge Crawford ran her race was disgusting...I'm not looking forward to working with her. She's bought and paid for by the Democratic Party." Via Vanessa Kjeldsen

Imagine complaining that the opposing candidate was "bought and paid for" when your guy *literally* had the richest man in the world handing out checks for a million dollars for your guy.

if the united states ever has even a hope of recovering we have to destroy the idea of american individualism. "they don't owe you anything" we owe each other everything actually

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

This is a hell of a satisfying watch.

there aren't any words for how much I hate the people doing this. I wish every harm upon them, it is right and just to pray for such harm

“I couldn’t stand all those fuckin’ fake elites in New York for one more minute, so I had to jump on my private jet and get back home to my gated mansion miles away from my next rich neighbor. Where people are more real.”

Every time I see a cybertruck in the wild it's like sorry I don't believe a real person bought one of these with their own money. These are paid actors

Running for president on the platform “I will jail Stephen miller”

remember what i said about RFK Jr. being a eugenicist first and foremost? www.marketwatch.com/story/agency...

As always, the party of human shields.

I associated A&E's long-running cop reality show "The First 48" with re-run marathons. But when I learned that it was mentioned as a factor in the 2024 exoneration of a man convicted of murder in Minnesota, the state I live in and cover, I perked right up. Thread 🧵

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

this fascist smol bean act is so pathetic. him and his cronies spend all day every day deriving joy from the suffering of others but the second somebody does that to them they're just little guys.

NEW: Friends of Neri Alvarado, rotting in a Salvadoran prison on Trump's orders, made a video highlighting his volunteer work helping neurodiverse children learn to swim. Neri was sent there after someone at ICE thought his autism awareness tattoo was a gang tattoo. Vid posted by Noah Lanard on X.

I Want to Burn This Place Down by Maris Kreizman (Ecco, 2025)

Not gonna pretend like I know anything about Carney’s politics because I don’t, but I watched his speech yesterday and he essentially told Trump to fuck off and now Trump’s speaking about him with a modicum of respect. I feel like there’s a lesson in there somewhere.

Frankly, it’s pretty fucking galling to see well-known professors on here complaining that people are being mean to Timothy Snyder for going to Canada—while never saying a single word about the adjuncts who teach their department’s intro courses so tenured profs can do research.

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford
