Every day this POS POTUS tries to find new ways to piss people off. If we're squabbling over a million things, we're just distracted enough from his crime family's thievery. Talarico's right - Time to start flipping tables. Gift article from The New York Times. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/22/a...

I don’t think this shit will work but i never want to hear about free speech from any trumpers or anti anti trumpers ever again, fuck off forever bsky.app/profile/cram...

Best song I've heard in a long time. An astonishing new talent. Think equal parts Whitney, Anita Baker, Amy Winehouse, Sade and Adele, with a little Sara Vaughn thrown in for good measure. Oh, and goddess-level good looks. And yes, I'm gay, so that's why you heard it first here.

We need basic electric car infrastructure standards so that all cars will have basic features supported from any app interface - including payment for public charging www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

Just to be clear, this is why Trump shows Kristi Noem any loyalty.

Lovely obit of the zany, Zeusy force of nature that was Isaiah Zagar. Gift article from The New York Times.

He handed Noem her ass on a plate. But also, fuck him for growing a pair a few months before retiring.

The genius that was Honoré Daumier! Born on this day in 1808, he is revered as a caricaturist, a serious painter and a sculptor. Visit his Wiki page (link in comments) and scroll through his astonishing legacy.

Behold the Masked Trogan, a resident of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru and Venezuela.

Excellent article about Trump's blatant selling of pardons and how fucking dangerous it would be to just let this go on unchecked.

This rumor is plausible. Justice Scalito has announced the release date for his upcoming book: The first Tuesday in October. (One day after the Court's new term starts.) As the folks at Above the Law put it: "He's either retiring or he doesn't care about how well his new book sells."

These Republican douche bags just love licking boot.

Good morning!

It's Pop Art Day! Who even knew?

I cannot stop watching this! How am I just now finding out that Zohran is Young Cardamom!

So many oddities about this man, but isn't it bizarre that we all just carry on as normal despite his daily use of this clownish self image? It's like he's a drunken, crazed, obese football fan who painted his face and beer belly in the home team colors. #globalembarrassment

Hilarious! Whoever created this website deserves a Peabody.

By all means, do share your decorating ideas, likely costing millions, while the American people are struggling to afford housing, food and health insurance. What a piece of shit.

Merry Christmas Scum.

“Global Warning” by Marta Tereziya, winner of the Tidal Shift Award, a prize for young artists who want to solve our climate crisis. "Seeing wildfires start all over the globe, I felt helpless. As if I was a little bunny, knowing that it will kill everything including me in its sight."

"Rama Duwaji is excited for her husband Zohran Mamdani’s new job. Just don’t call her the mayor’s plus-one." That's how The CUT begins its profile of New York's soon-to-be first lady. The photo shoot is mind-blowing. Get to know this amazing artist. Link to The CUT profile in the comments.

Score a BIG one for the resistance! BREAKING NEWS: The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to allow President Trump to deploy hundreds of National Guard troops in the Chicago area over the objection of Illinois officials. Read the order and the whiny dissent from Alito and Thomas at the link below.

BORN ON THIS DAY in 1960, Jean-Michel Basquiat.

One of the best audiobooks I've listened to this decade.

One of my heroes!

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.
