The. Fucking. Worst.

A rare Super El Niño is developing! But what is that and what does it mean? Here’s a quick, simple breakdown of how El Niño works and the big global and Florida impacts expected in summer, fall and winter. #elnino #florida

Modern-day life is the constant sensation that you surely must be having a stroke. This is one of the top 20 (!) up-voted comments to the NYT's "AI antiproliferation" op-ed. (The op-ed itself induces that burnt toast smell, but it's nothing compared to the comment.) I no longer know what's real.

The Trump-as-Jesus picture was originally created months ago by an influencer. The original included *soldiers* descending in the background as if angels from heaven. TRUMP ALTERED THIS IMAGE TO ADD THE DEMONS. The Antichrist is openly mocking his incredulous acolytes.

Trump has the funniest opportunity to backtrack on the Iran War by saying he was possessed by a demon

Someone added animation to the Trump-as-Jesus image. It is not what you are expecting. 👀

"The Pope says ‘God does not bless any conflict.’ But this Orlando Magic back up point guard says 'God is on our side against the 76ers' this week. For busy Americans balancing their Polymarket investments, it can be hard to know who's right."

Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.

he’s playing 4 dimensional chess. he’s take the pieces and sticking them up his nose. he’s eating the board. he’s setting the room on fire while he’s inside. he’s drawing something on the wall in his own poop. it’s a giraffe. underneath he’s writing the word elephant. it’s spelled wrong.

Interesting essay

Facts.

SNL UK takes on Melania's press conference in tonight's cold open.

🚨 Synchronicity 🚨 I happened to *very randomly* pick up House of Day, House of Night at the library yesterday while getting tax forms. It was on the shelf with new releases; I had never heard of the author before but was merely drawn in by the blurb. Fast forward 24 hours to today's x-word puzzle.

The answer to this question turns on the nature of the substance imo. Uppers are a terrible idea. (It's hard to say whether meth or coke would be a greater torture.) But opiates? Benzos? Barbiturates? Ketamine?

Consumer sentiment just crashed below the level where we were when people were queueing at ATMs on Sunday nights because there were rumors about BoA shutting its doors.

This administration saying that it’s unfair to link people in the Epstein files to Epstein, are the same people saying that donating to a mutual aid fund or appearing at a protest is sufficient to get you prosecuted as a domestic terrorist. bsky.app/profile/nyti...

After we rid ourselves of the fascist interlopers, after we radically reform our institutions to prevent another infiltration, we must see Russia reduced to ash.

Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?

Trump regime: We're on it

This is really well done.

And they say there's no good skeet

It's incredibly fitting that MAGA is fabricating a "midterm convention" (the Volk hunger for another Nuremberg rally!) while Democrats have not seen fit to counter-program "America 250."

In a perverse sort of way, it’s hilarious how whenever anyone is like “bad things are bad,” someone in this administration pops up and is like “LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE SHIT” in a Cobra Commander voice.

The Israeli monsters have launched a new genocide against Lebanon which they brazenly call "Eternal Darkness." The gall: "The IDF also added that 'the working assumption ... is that fighting in Iran will be renewed ...." 🧵

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

If Kalshi had an "Israel does an extremely fucked up thing to Iran in the next 48 hours" market I'd bet big, is all I'm saying

Oil prices falling.

Iran's 10-point plan — which Trump says is "a workable basis on which to negotiate," which Iranian media says Trump agreed to it — includes: -An end to Israeli operations in Lebanon -Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, including the ~$2m/ship fee. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/w...

Katelyn may be a bit more pro-Hasan than I am, but I think she hits the nail squarely on the head here. (I would have added that the anti-Hasan opp—in addition to shutting down a source of political power for the left—is also intended to bolster the Dem Party's crumbling pro-Israel consensus.)

"Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen."

Did the devs nerf BlueSky so that when you click on "Reposts" it just shows you a list of reposting accounts rather than the actual RTs? Has anyone seen this discussed? (It seems like the kind of major change that would generate controversy.) Or am I just trippin?

War Crimes Tuesday is now likely unavoidable. Iran has taken TACOs off the menu.

I'm not not convinced (link to tweet screenshot'd below) xcancel.com/RnaudBertran...

I'm not saying Jerry's verification is the reason the site's suddenly running all slow and goofy but I'm not NOT saying it.

I think one of the more troubling things about Platner’s support is that it DOESN’T easily split along these lines? Some of his biggest pushers are the ex-Obama podbros standing together with dirtbag leftists. He’s a completely separate axis than the normal split, and that makes him more troubling.

Like clockwork

China is building a global network of energy & technology infrastructure to enhance its economic reach & geopolitical leverage. Trump is building a global network of concentration camps to enhance xenophobia & authoritarian rule.

Powerful @nytimes.com series of maps illustrating vastness of #US-launched #war, not just in Iran and Israel, but also Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Oman (not clear why Yemen omitted) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

"But they don't have the votes for impeachment so you can't criticize them for not saying it" is fallacious. Dems don't have the votes to do anything. Even post-midterms, they still wouldn't have the votes to override vetoes, either. It's nonsensical to say they therefore shouldn't advocate stuff.

do I dare to skeet "impeach"?

Omg lol

The actual decadence that is destroying "Western civilization." Is there any question that the oligarchs behind Polymarket will buy off enough Democrats to prevent criminalization?

Good overview of Orban and the Hungarian election via Bloomberg.

Are you fucking kidding me?

When it's revealed in 20 or 30 years, as I'm approaching the end of my life, that Trump has been working for Putin this entire time, the "I TOLD YOU MOTHERFUCKERS SO" might be so overpowering that it finishes me off.
