What a terrible day to know how to read

these are not even the files lol

Gift link: The rich get richer. More unlegislated tax breaks for the ultra wealthy.

There's also a similarity between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old. A 5-year-old is a child. And a 15-year-old is a child.

Hmm…There’s a time travel Vatican heist movie somewhere in here…🤔

He is, after all, a soul man.

This 30 to 50 feral hogs reboot is very upsetting.

It's also worth pointing out *all* of this news is coming from the 20k documents released by the *Republicans* in response to the three released by the Dems? (a) so did they release the wrong batch, or (b) is there even worse to come

He mentions Epstein twice in this post. Lmao. It's like that scene from Fawlty Towers when he keeps saying DON'T MENTION THE WAR and ends up goose stepping around the lobby

Seen a few of the epstein emails now, all with different people and it's not the main issue here but is everyone illiterate

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

an actual not-made-up death panel, except there’s only one guy

Joyce Carol Oates sitting across a desk from Kendrick Lamar: "So I'm putting a team together..." Isaac Chotiner knocks on the open door.

Every element of this is comedic perfection.

A visit from the Suburban Gold Fairies would fix me.

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.

/3 Meanwhile, she actually gives a shit about carceral culture and has used fame and influence to try to encourage clemency in actual cases impacting actual lives. I have the bog-standard old man view of Kardashian Kulture, but her heart seems to be in the right place on this.

Yes to all of this. Writing a bar essay or performance test is a learned skill, and the MBE is designed to trip people up. If she didn't take a bar prep course, that would factor into her failing. Buuutt, she consulted psychics and studied with ChatGPT, so she's going to get dragged a little.

Help mom I’m being bullied by 87 year old novella writer Joyce Carol Oates again can you pick me up

Buying and then destroying things that might be useful as a means of owning the opposition is more of a twitter thing.

like this is basically it, the melts melted under pressure

"But here’s the good news: we’re all characters in a murder mystery called “what killed reading?” and once you realize that the killer is excess entertainment, you can begin to adjust your habits accordingly."

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

son brought home a pinto bean plant from school last spring. it yielded one (1) bean, which we planted. *that* plant yielded ... one (1) bean, which we have also planted. Five months of cultivation has yielded two beans. anyway, you were saying something about "grow your own food"

You didn’t have to hear anybody’s opinion about literally anything unless they were within slapping distance

It's pretty confusing but the demand seems to be not just that states stop distributing benefits, but that they also claw back money that's already gone out. Unimaginable cruelty is becoming commonplace.

Using mine to buy Tylenol.

@cat-boy.bsky.social checking in to see how the book is coming and to request that you include some kind of spaghetti with a lemony sauce. I have not worked on mine at all (I have many excuses, some of them valid) except to decide that "The Birthday Party" should be chapter 3 not 1.

KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business. -if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her. -if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet. -instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

I tried to whistle over a stray cat in my neighborhood and a woman walked by, who I worried thought I whistled at her. So I said “im whistling at the cat” but when I looked back down at it I realized it was just an old fast food bag

Growing concerned that Boo Boo might be the world's most photogenic kitten.

There should also be alternate versions of audiobooks where the narrator screams "WAKE UP!" every 12 minutes.

Writing about Elon Musk’s pay package without leading with this is like profiling John Wayne Gacy’s booming party clown career.

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

great day for the legal theory of "not guilty if it's funny enough"

So many iconic Pelosi moments- ACA, IRA, ARRA, the '06 and '18 midterms... but for me it's the night of 1/6/21. We were waiting to see how many days until they could return to the Capitol to finish certifying the election. She told us, "tonight." I still tear up thinking about how that felt.

Has-beens and barely-weres always popping up to remind us we don’t miss them.

Dems in ARRAY

Onions AND mustard, in this economy?

Further evidence of how far the NYT has fallen (gift link): "[T]he cronut didn't make the list below."

no evidence whatsoever that mike johnson knows a single thing youtu.be/YR2WiILR6XE

I'm not seeing the problem here. The Republicans announced their healthcare plan in 2017 and it's ... hold on, I'm getting an update.

This is how I’m gonna look every time someone dislikes one of my posts.

I did something impulsive today and it turned out badly. Instead of shaking it off and considering it a lesson learned, I will instead spend the next few days obsessing over it, berating myself, and staring glumly into the middle distance. I believe this to be the healthiest option.
