My favorite comment on the internet today.

I keep relocating toads from the backyard to the front yard but I’m starting to think it’s the same toad.

This reads like an article of impeachment, and should be read as such.

I wonder if they had a kiss cam at the Vanderbilt graduation?

So he and Elon definitely stole the gold from Fort Knox, then.

The nation will never be able to get our spending together because the Republicans complain about the debt *while they run it up*. I don't see it ever being addressed in my lifetime.

I applied for a passport renewal online Sunday and received my new passport today, sans Trump portrait. Thank goodness.

The author sent me a copy, and it's really something to behold in person.

This dog was a three term mayor of Whoville.

Anyways I guess we can see now why this administration wanted schools to stop teaching about the history of Jim Crow laws in the south.

“What’s the latest on the assassin situation?” is a totally normal text to send in a very very specific context.

Ted Turner has died. Funeral services will be at 7:05 pm, 7:35 pm, 8:05 pm, 8:35 pm and 9:05 pm.

Diversity in the design office that produced this shirt would have prevented the producing of this shirt.

Amazing blasts from the past. The Onion has been bringing me joy for about thirty years now.

Also we might do a genocide on the whole lot of them. I guess it’s pretty nuanced.

He refers to the US as “hot” because he wants to fuck it in every way possible.

Today's The Daily episode is so weird. Professor Robert Pape works so hard to talk about political violence and make it sound like it's equivalent on both sides. He also talks about how this all started ten years ago, for some mysterious reason he cannot figure out. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/p...

I think people aren't appreciating the way Trump is helping push for the adoption of EVs right now. He's doing more to make them attractive than Biden and his subsidies ever did! www.npr.org/2026/05/03/n...

You can’t compare voting and approval ratings, Enten should know that.

That's just a chef's kiss perfect metaphor. Believing you are winning when you don't understand the game you're playing.

It was a joyful show - lots to see and enjoy!

Anybody at the David Byrne show?

"Train the Trainer" is a standard corporate software education strategy, I guess.

Just a reminder that pregnancy carries a higher risk of mortality than being a police officer. www.cnn.com/2026/05/02/p...

Genuinely glad someone men are writing about the conclusion feminist theory came to ~50 years ago...a lot of women have died needlessly because of the insistence on treating violent misogyny as a private matter ("domestic violence") rather than as a political terrorism project.

OK, here's where the fun begins (and I get very competitive)! Let's gooooooooooooooooooo!

"And that's Trump IRA, not Trump Iran - big difference there"

Kid Rock: "CAN YOU DIG IT?" Military People, in unison: "WE CAN DIG IT!"

HEGSETH: Our music says love your brother. TOKUDA: Well, you don't literally say it HEGSETH: I don't literally mean it either.

Sometimes I discover new facts that really make me think that we're living in a simulation.

RFK Jr wants to believe in magical solutions to difficult problems, like wellness camps combatting addiction, but also he doesn't want to believe in magical solutions to difficult problems, like mRNA vaccines combatting numerous diseases and cancers.

It's wild to me how dumb these people are. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This is a metaphor. Todd Rokita has used taxpayer dollars to replicate GasBuddy. fox59.com/indianapolit...

I keep getting delivered advertisements for “agriculture shrimp” and it is like a nightmare.

He is burning our nation to the ground and salting the earth so that nothing ever grows here again.

Last night it occurred to me that our country is now in one of those situations where Trump is the pilot of an airplane and no one will tell him that he's about to fly right into a mountain because he cannot be told that he's wrong.

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

oh

I think the top character trait we need in future leaders is humility. Everything else we value flows from that

You will never read a sadder sentence than "I had tickets to see the Meatloaf musical 'Bat Out of Hell' but I just got an email that it's been cancelled." Even if it hadn't been cancelled, it would still be pretty sad.

everything continues to be awful in so many ways

IDK why, but I re-read the first article I wrote about Trump's rhetoric (dec, 2015): "Donald Trump appeals to voters’ fears by depicting a nation in crisis, while positioning himself as the nation’s hero – the only one who can conquer our foes, secure our borders and “Make America Great Again.”

You have to be dumb to get the job but you can’t keep the job if you’re dumb.

Real weird story in the Indystar today. For the record, I have attended protests and live a couple miles from this guy and have never heard of him before. www.indystar.com/story/news/i...

I bet SCOTUS will allow public funding of Catholic schools provided they repudiate the Pope.

If I received this email from a relative, I would assume they were suffering from a psychotic episode.

Another sobering piece by @profhicks.bsky.social. Many people continue to believe Trump is playing 4-d chess, but all available evidence indicates the contrary instead (that he's just eating the pieces). www.indystar.com/story/opinio...
