"It was at that moment when Erika Kirk realized she might have to spend the rest of her life listening to whatever stupid shit came out of Charlie's mouthhole, resting as it was at the bottom of his creepy squished together features." Please feel free to comment on whatever the fuck she is wearing.

Happy Birthday to actress Carol Kane, born June 18, 1952, in Cleveland, OH! I first noticed her showing up in films like Dog Day Afternoon (1975) & Annie Hall (1977), then her Emmy award-winning role as "Simka" on TV's "Taxi" (1980-1983), followed by more than 150 more movies & TV shows since then.

Anchorage Alaska has #NoKings Huge turnout on a bluebird day.

He tried to warn us

“Border patrol came without a warrant to my family’s business. They took my cousin who is a US citizen. This happened 6/12/25 at 4:33pm” 👇🏼 Naty2023 TikTok

The problem with being viral video dependent like the Trump/MAGA movement is right now is viral video cuts both ways. Team Blue has really sucked at it the last decade but inch-deep empty suits like Johnson aren't going to hold up well to non-buzzword set pieces as this escalates

“I asked ChatGPT” “I asked Grok” Okay, and? I ask Gandalf and he called me a Fool of a Took

It might be terrible but he's got my money when it opens. OMG.

Genetic material shed by tumors can be detected in the bloodstream three years before cancer diagnosis, according to a study led by investigators at Johns Hopkins University. That study was made possible with federal funding. Now, many studies like this are canceled. hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/04/...

Guys the US military was never going to be the vanguard of the resistance to authoritarianism and getting your morale shattered by a single speech in front of a handpicked military audience who were chosen because they agreed with him is pathetic. Stiffen your spines. Fuck.

It's always fascinating to me, the moral flexibility of moral absolutists. I mean, this guy could lick his own asshole.

Cancel culture isn't new; we've always had it. We literally write essays about it in high school for the Scarlet fucking Letter. What changed recently is who we cancel - we no longer cancel you for for being queer, using drugs, divorcing & remarrying, but for being abusive, hateful, or a sex pest.

One thing most of these tech oligarchs have in common is that they mostly got lucky with one idea just before or just after the dotcom bubble burst, and they've coasted on that success ever since. They mostly grow through buyouts rather than innovation. Yet they're treated as oracles and sages.

What we have seen in the last few weeks is the ending of the Elon Musk presidency and the start of the Stephen Miller presidency.

I'm reading @drjoannepaul.bsky.social's new book on Thomas More and I was really struck by this line: "Those who are willing to destroy anyone who stands in opposition to their will...rule today as they did 500 years ago...The unconstrained power of petty, insecure men remains deeply dangerous."

Trump always chickens out unless he needs to distract from his latest disastrous policy.

One side of thinks that 21st century America is a flaming hellscape. The other is unwilling to defend it. So here we are.

Happy this-is-just-a-feint-the-main-thrust-is-actually-going-to-land-near-Calais day, to all those who celebrate military deception.

I think, at this point, the pro-wrestling framing is actively toxic for the understanding of politics in the US. The fundamental truth about wrestling is that it is mostly fake. The fundamental truth about politics is that it is mostly real.

Trump: When they raid Musk’s compound what should Kash do with your wife? Stephen Miller: Arrest her. Tell her she has a choice. She can stay in jail or come home and sleep with me in the coffin.

Three men sit in a cell in El Salvador. The first asks the second why he has been imprisoned. He replies, "Because I criticized Elon Musk." The first man responds, "But I am here for praising Musk!" They ask the third man who has been sitting quietly in the back. He answers, "I AM Elon Musk".
