I repeat: I do not think that Musk and Trump are going to bury the hatchet as quickly and easily as some people, pundits or otherwise, seem to think.

I don't think those two are going to kiss and make up just yet. Something important that a lot of people are forgetting that Trump, a teetotaler, REALLY hates alcohol and drug use & considers addiction a sign of weakness (odd given the rumors about him and Adderall, but whatever).

What these figures really show is just how hideously unpopular and deeply despised Elon Musk is, and that the prevailing sentiment is more "let them fight" than anything else. It takes a special kind of suckitude to be even more disliked than Trump.

Notes for this morning: *Musk is right that the budget bill is horrible, but not about the reasons. *I’m glad Musk is fighting the despicable President, but he remains despicable himself. *ICE is still unhinged and raiding communities. *Take care of yourselves and your fellow humans.

Yeah, I've seen this both on the left and right. Conspiracy theorists have the universal characteristic of spitting contemptuously on Ockham's Razor.

You think Victorian paintings were stiff and static? Think again. What do you think is happening in this picture? (Hint; there's no wrong answer, but the more entertaining - or even off-kilter - the better.)

Possibly the most famous of all the photographs of Dwight D. Eisenhower ever taken.

Look, I think that war is a tremendous evil that must be eradicated if possible but even I understand that when you go to war you go the fuck to war.

One from the Hammer vampire vaults! Dracula Has Risen from the Grave! Released November 1968 and directed by Freddie Francis. The Count finds he cannot only enter his castle as it was exorcised and seeks revenge on Monsignor Mueller (Rupert Davies) and his niece Maria (Veronica Carlsen)

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

Across the government, the Trump administration is scrambling to rehire many federal employees dismissed under DOGE’s staff-slashing initiatives after wiping out entire offices, in some cases imperiling key services such as weather forecasting and the drug approval process.

6 June 1944. This 54 year old general made the call knowing the potential implication. I can’t imagine the mental & emotional strain. And it’s so very hard to comprehend the sacrifices for a new future that were a result. We cannot waste what happened on that day.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.
