Now even punchier!

We have officially switched off the Yankees and now are watching PBS’s Secrets Of The Dead, the Fall Of Rome. Galen was very harsh on Marcus Aurelius. Imagine what he’d say of Aaron Boone.

Almost twice as many people ride the New York City bus every day as live in Wyoming. The bus should have two senators

One of my most reliably moral, kind, intellectual, justice loving, politically active friends is enthralled with AI moving images, which eat up the most environmental resources, as well as ripping off original artists. Related: try to see or read Ionesco’s Rhinoceros.

David took the wrong fork. Couple of forks. Cutlery drawer. Yes I was washing dishes while listening to this. Stick to the end for the Good Place. Get us over there!

Another immigration atrocity committed by ICE.

Hey kids! Let’s call Charlie and Hakim and our reps and demand Hegseth’s alcohol addled head! Then call again about the writ of habeus corpus. Then about the Muscovite Slasher. Then -

This is the technology Musk said he will be using to find inefficiencies in Social Security. Least surprising headline of 2026: “More Black retirees suffered mistaken payment cutoffs, study finds”

unfit for state and majesty.

The state of the union is the wallet inspector took our wallet and will not give it back.

All right, who else looking at the Dume sand worms thought, “artichoke hearts!” #whoworeitbetter

As Peruvian fascist president General Óscar Benavides said in the 1930s: “For my friends, everything; for my enemies, THE LAW.” Trump’s “friendship” has a price — and it’s payable in crypto.

Here’s an excellent old school video on how to establish a relationship with your elected officials & lobby them more effectively.* In my four decades in Washington, this is the best “how to” lobbying video I’ve ever seen. I’ve used it to train activists across the country. * Your results may vary.

One of most important things you can do is check the website of your reps or sign up for their emails to know when they’re having a town hall. Attend the meeting & thank them if they do the right things — and give them an earful if they don’t! Here’s more on the care & feeding of elected officials:

Of course. Russian cyber criminals are much snappier dressers than that disrespectful Ukrainian. Trump likes a snappy dresser.

Defenceless under the night Our world in stupor lies; Yet, dotted everywhere, Ironic points of light Flash out wherever the Just Exchange their messages: May I, composed like them Of Eros and of dust, Beleaguered by the same Negation and despair, Show an affirming flame. —W.H. Auden

The closing of a MAJOR Social Security office hub, White Plains, New York, will NOT end well. It services 2.4M people in the area and has case backlogs. This will NOT end well.

“Peace” = Surrender. It’s the world against Trump and Putin.

@msnbc.com well at least Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid aren’t gutless wonders the way the new management is.

@maddow.msnbc.com Good for you, Rachel.

Put simply: they're stealing our money.

#WestPoint grad @lktiv.bsky.social reveals how our reformed military academy -- once an impregnable bastion of racism, antisemitism, and misogyny -- threatens the draft-dodging commander-in-chief and his front men www.nationalmemo.com/trump-nomine...

@thevivllainous.bsky.social Hello, Vivian, I wanted your input on selecting pronouns for that guy who runs that thing where space junk is always falling out of the sky to the point where they have to have a Hotline should his junk hit your roof. I selected, “schmuck”and shmuck’s.” Thoughts?

Save the White House Switchboard, and your representatives’ numbers into your contacts, so they’ll never say” but nobody was calling the office” again.

Now seems like as good a time as any to remind people that Donald Trump picked, as Secretary of Transportation, a former contestant on MTV's The Real World.

Inspector Fong did not go quietly, but made them escort her out. She is being replaced by a Trump donor. Every illness or death from bird flu or listeria or whatever else her office covers is ON TRUMP, and Trumpers, as we are going to remind them at every possible opportunity.

Put your representative in your contact list and call call call

Trump cuts costs the way a slumlord does. Upkeep is for losers.

The White House budget office has paused all federal grants and loans, according to a memo sent to agencies Monday www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
