Imagine admiring such a little bitch

Always order your carry-out at the bar then have a beer while you wait. Food is fresher when you get home, you get to enjoy a beer by yourself, wins all around.

🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

This would be perfect to make Charles Mingus's eggnog recipe which calls for 151 proof Jamaican rum: www.charlesmingus.com/blog/news/mi...

More and more I’m starting to believe in the theory that obscene wealth gives you some kind of brain damage that just accelerates as you accumulate more wealth.

so many of our current problems stem from americans not being able to comprehend that a guy they know from tv might actually be stupid

Say it again for the folks in the back: "The first time the House has voted to overturn a Trump executive order in this term." 🙌

The fact that you can have 6 billion dollars and not be aware of the existence of other countries is a good argument in favour of the government confiscating 6 billion dollars from you

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported? Noem: We have not deported military veterans. Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

And who stands to gain from pushing AI? The owner of Time, billionaire Marc Benioff. When billionaires take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy. time.com/7339685/pers...

He thinks 5G is about cameras. Donald Trump is an idiot.

To be fair, if I looked like an anthropomorphic butt plug I might lean a little fascist, too.

As Trump once said: “You can create excitement, you can do wonderful promotion and get all kinds of press, and you can throw in a little hyperbole. But if you don’t deliver the goods, people will eventually catch on." New Racket. theracket.news/p/pirates-of...

#Top31DavidBowie 21 The Motel 1995 First selection from Outside. Love the way this song builds, fantastic piano from Mike Garson, and a truly wonderful vocal.

People always commemorate Bobby Bonilla day on July 1, when the Mets pay him $1.193M in deferred money over 25 years (2011-2035). But often overlooked is the annual $500k he’s getting over 25 years (2004-2028) from the Orioles.

We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

FIFA, in the most FIFA-y way possible, told cities that bearing all the World Cup costs while getting no direct revenue (not even sales taxes!) would be fine, because they could sell their own sponsorships — then made it nearly impossible to find sponsors.

Gallego: "This administration, since they started striking these boats illegally, has been very happy to show their snuff films . Now suddenly they're willing to show the first hit but not the second. Why? ... they're afraid the public is going to see the military killed 2 men that had surrendered."

365 Days of Bowie: Day 344 - The Pretty Things Are Going to Hell www.youtube.com/watch?v=330x... That was really dangling a carrot, wasn’t it?! That’s such a fun song. It’s a good song. I like it a lot. I can’t wait to do it live.-Bowie1999 #DavidBowie #DavidBowieDaily #PrettyThingsAreGoingtoHell

Another favorite Bowie/Gabrels song; this one from Hours... Enjoy.

The fact that we already have Health Savings Accounts and the most marketized health care system in the world, and it is also the most expensive system does not seem to put a dent in these guy's theories of health economics

My grandfather didn't have $1 million for a Trump Gold Card. He was 10, poor, and didn't speak any English. He ended up making good, and a lot of money. I wrote about him in 2018. I liked us better when we understood what the American Dream meant to the world. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Just noting that no one is ever going to seize a tanker full of solar energy www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

It’s pretty rich that Trump is traveling across the country on a meaningless “affordability tour” while he avoids negotiating a simple fix on ACA tax credits. If he cared at all, he’d just get this done. Instead, he calls affordability a “hoax” and spikes costs for all.

Georgetown University launched a research hub tasked with investigating the deaths of minors who perished in juvenile facilities nationwide in the last 150 years, an effort that will initially focus on the graves of Black boys who died in Maryland state custody. https://wapo.st/3MstO9v

They want to be Lex Luthor or Ozymandias, but they’re at best Roman Sionis

It's your genocide now: you made no effective effort to prevent trump's election, and blaming Biden is now just a weak effort to divert from your own bad choices

“I am so bored by AI. One of the things I love about the theatre is AI can’t do it.” Ethan Hawke is a dude 👌🏻

Looking forward to next year when a day-drunk Pete Hegseth assures that our country’s security is in the safe hands of SkyNet.

the first and only impeachment proceeding against a supreme court justice was over excessive partisanship fyi

This is the nightmare that most dystopian novels about a future where fascistic governments utilize technology and the earth's resources to eventually wage a war on humanity itself ...tried to warn us all about

This is a white supremacist rally. Anyone who attends something like this or still supports the leader of this movement should be unwelcome in your home and shunned from civil society. Period. We’re way past the point where this crap should be tolerated from anyone. Cast them out.

"there's a new serif in town"

Would you give the economy an “A+++++?” (Grocery prices increasing, utilities surging, healthcare costs skyrocketing...)

MS-13 gang members told Hondurans to vote for the Trump-backed right-wing candidate or “we’ll kill you and your whole fucking family.”

Friends, I am frankly appalled by this divisive display at a Boston parish. The purpose of a Nativity scene is to honor the birth of our Lord, who, cherishing the customs and traditions of his forbears, consistently reverenced religious and civil authority.

“These deals are real” is the kind of thing you never need to say when you make real deals.

Clinic Closures Force More Rural Americans To Rely On Horse Who Stomps Twice When Patient Has Cancer https://theonion.com/clinic-closures-force-more-rural-americans-to-rely-on-horse-who-stomps-twice-when-patient-has-cancer/

Good thing he’s got 10 kids. He’s going to need some spare parts after the Texans D is done with him.

The very real problem Republicans have right is there are zero adults around Trump right now. It's Loomers all the way down.

there is no available evidence that donald trump understands what a tariff is, what a trade deficit is, and what the national debt is.

In another slight to the legacy of Black Americans, Trump just took away free-entry days at our national parks for Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth. This blatant racism cannot go unnoticed or unchallenged.

Nothing to see here, just the President of the United States having absolutely no idea who he is pardoning, nor why.

All of them, Katie
