According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals. That amounts to $456,621 per hour. But how are you doing?

TIL that curling controversies were possible. #2026winterolympics #curling

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

This movie is as relevant today as it was when it was released 50 years ago. #network #ImMadAsHell youtu.be/_RujOFCHsxo?...

Please share. 💔

This is evidence that social media can be not only a source for good, but can amuse and soothe the soul at the same time.

They never think things through, do they?

Can someone please give this girl a home? I would if I could. Someone out there needs a new friend.

I've always appreciated this man. His dedication to exploring other places and celebrating the people and traditions of the locales he visits is both edifying and admirable. This is another level, but his humanity does not surprise me. He's truly one of the good ones!

Cleaning up files and found this one, which I always feel is worth posting from time to time. @legalweed4sc.bsky.social is sure to appreciate it.

Trying to update my friend's WordPress site using Divi. I've never seen a stupider site builder interface in my life. Whoever designed this needs to be punished.

Because it's always time for Cosmic Slop. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsIq...

Reworking my logo and looking at fonts. Of course, Papyrus came up, and I thought of this hilarious sketch (with the sinful Comic Sans at the end). #SNL www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVhl...

I finally got the meat loaf and mashed potatoes I’ve been craving for the longest time. And I’m thankful. Happy Thanksgiving Bluesky friends!

Out of curiosity, I ran a few of short paragraphs through a couple of readability checkers. The results were depressing. The "scores" indicated that my sentences were too complex for the average reader to comprehend. The suggestions were to tailor to the best target age, that of a 7th grader.

Terrific

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Megyn Kelly has a 14-year-old daughter. I pity that poor girl.

Tell me more about ‘Sleepy Joe.’

💯

I have to make a pie chart, and I thought of the best one I've ever seen. In case you haven't seen this @legalweed4sc.bsky.social...

Succinct evaluation

Somehow, the YouTube algorithm served up "What's My Line" recently. This show is so wholesome, yet so entertaining. This episode with Buddy Hackett and mystery guest Carol Burnett is a wonderful example of early TV games shows where gentle humor ruled the day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jm43...

Lowes has its Christmas displays and merch out already. The war on Christmas is getting worse each and every year. Of course, the war is on us rational people who aren’t ready for all this in freaking SEPTEMBER.

We lost one of the greatest drummers of all time, 45 years ago today. Bonzo forever! #johnbonham #ledzeppelin www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOSf...

He doesn't disappoint.

Talking heads on BBC News this morning, analyzing Trump’s decision to rename DoD to Department of War. Why do they take this seriously? He’s doing it because he’s a freaking child, and he’s playing at being a tough guy. Like every other damn thing he does.

What a gloriously weird country.

British definition.

This should be headline news - the implications are horrifying …

The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios. At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024. Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570. That’s a ratio of 632 to 1. How can anyone defend this?

This probably should be bigger news 😳 www.npr.org/2025/08/16/n...

NEW: In June, ProPublica reported that the FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to send drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants the agency had banned. Today, we’re publishing a list of those exempted drugs.

This is what i mean by the sleeping, apathetic electorate. Many of us were raised “don’t talk about politics or religion.” No, we need to challenge both and pay ATTENTION to what is happening every single day.

This reality show grifter was eagerly returned to White House by the most gullible people on earth.

Do not anger a Scotsman who can play the pipes. Just don’t. 😂😂😂😂

Genius

A breathtaking view of the Sun's reflection on the Pacific Ocean seen from space.

RIP Ozzy or keep raising hell if that's your preference. Thanks for the music! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eeY...

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday. It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever. I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

I think this is the best thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

BREAKING: Donald Trump has released a statement proving that he never met Jeffrey Epstein.
