So, good news/bad news. I am running a fever. But sometimes the first sign I'm sick is that my mood goes to the basement. Honestly, being sick is easier to deal with...

Sadly I can guarantee that corruption was not why Noem was canned. Why would Trump get rid of her for graft? wapo.st/4c9tc1L

I hope all the people who voted against Genocide Joe are feeling good this morning

A madman has control of the most powerful military in the history of the world and the leaders of his party are too afraid to say or do anything to stop him.

Admit it, the prez ordering SCOTUS to watch Levin on Fox News wasn't on your BINGO card either. newrepublic.com/post/208639/...

The Iranian ministry of sport has called on youth to form human chains around power plants. These events creep me out on so many levels. www.cnn.com/2026/04/07/w...

I feel overwhelmed -- my health, my circumstances, the state of the world -- and while I am not suicidal, I am in something of a "God take me now" sort of mood. This too shall pass... I know it will be ok. But at the moment it's a really really bad day.

He could've literally chosen to do nothing and golf every day, and we'd *still* be better off than we are now.

I can confirm this is real, just took my own screenshot

A good Easter to those who observe, or who just like a crowded brunch. When I was very young I was so impressed that Jesus accomplished so much between midwinter and spring.

The term of the day is borborygmus (plural, borborygmi). Latin usage, from Greek, it's an onomatopoeia. Your belly is gurgling -- a similar onomatopoeia from 15thC Middle English. Reminiscent of barbarian, from the "nonsense" sounds of a foreign language. www.etymonline.com/word/borbory...

The jet pilot has been rescued by US search-and-rescue and everyone involved is safe, per WaPo and probably others. Yawn...crashing, myself, but in the more metaphorical sense...

Someone should add controls to their air fryer controls that allows you to hit a button that beeps at the halfway point on the timer. So many recipes call for flipping the food halfway through, and I have to set a separate timer for it.

The term of the day is carceral logic. www.cambridge.org/core/books/c...

Napping, I dream that Trump nukes Iran on Easter. Because he thinks it's the righteous Christian thing to do, and predicts HUUUUUGE TV ratings.

Tennessee gave $65 million to Oracle to create jobs— guess we should have specified they be jobs for Americans🫤 Trump’s buddy Ellison is firing Americans and replacing them with foreign workers. (And now owns TikTok, CBS, CNN, etc) Watch oligarchy work. nationaltoday.com/us/tx/austin...

Some cities they feed pigeons. Cantabridgeons feed turkeys. Even our rats with wings are prettier. (Technically it's illegal to feed either.) This is right outside my apartment building.

'An MIT Media Lab study titled “Your Brain on ChatGPT” found that LLM users “consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels.” The tech oligarchs have somehow managed to enshittify thinking.'
