Bite-sized portions of triviality that tug at the heart and fog the mind. I'm a co-owner of the Green Bay Packers. Oh and once I saw a blimp.

Social media is so addictive that even the Grim Reaper can’t get lawmakers to log off

Had to read this headline a few times to comprehend the triple negative

Ahhh the offseason

Shame on all the news sources that simply took President Trump's word for it

Did the bombings make the world safer or more dangerous? Did they even do the damage that was claimed? Did Iran simply move their nuclear materials somewhere else before the bombing? CNN ignored those questions and went with this:

Imagine running for Congress just to spend your time doing this

President Trump extended the deadline for the congressional ban on TikTok, despite universal agreement that he does not have that power. Now that this new norm has been established, what’s to stop it from happening when the stakes are much higher?

Can't wait to watch Brad Pitt the movie!

duh they should start with the corner pieces then do the edges

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

Ahem, @punchbowlnews.bsky.social, Obamacare did "sell." It became law. And it's very popular.

It is Joe Biden's fault that Donald Trump is corrupt. CNN nailed it again!

What a weird timeline to be living in, but, uh, Tucker Carlson is asking good questions and is a productive voice for driving the political discourse on #Iran

This doesn't make up for killing people due to his actions on vaccines, but credit to RFK where it's due. This seems good.

The first sign of America being great is concert tickets becoming (ever so slightly) more affordable

They're not going to discuss climate change at the #G7 because not riling up Donald Trump matters more than the planet

Oh how I wish this sign were true

Protesting Trump is "playing into Trump's hands" so instead let's blindly support him since that's what he'll least expect!!

Victorian slang was fire no cap

Make America Polluted Again

This article quotes a "browser dating artist" so yes that's a thing that exists

BREAKING NEWS

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.

Both parties like dirty electricity more than they used to. Cool cool.

The World Cup 2026 and Olympics 2028 should choose another location. Los Angeles is not safe for foreigners.

The tennis trophy presentations are the best!! The loser sits in an uncomfortable chair next to the winner while the tennis federation president gives a boring speech about competition and greatness. Then the loser accepts the Loser's Trophy. Then the loser gives a speech about how it feels to lose.

Ukraine for Iran plus a 2nd-round pick

"Hollywood has left Los Angeles." There's definitely some advantages to this trend, but also it's sad!

Today's Wall Street Journal paints a picture about Trump's economy, and it's not pretty

As I’ve always said, everyone should listen to Elon Musk

There's no good answer here. Cancel your subscription, leading to the dismantling of an important arts institution. Or keep your subscription and fund Donald Trump's takeover.

You'll know I've made it when you see my face on billboards

The good news is that the looming collision between the Milky Way and Andromeda might not happen. The bad news is that Earth won't be around to find out, since the sun will have engulfed our planet by then.

Oooh look, a human editor!

Say it in public, you cowards

Enjoy your three dolls while you can

"may have"

The Department of Agriculture is using tax programs to discourage solar power on farm land. “Farmland should be for agricultural production, not solar production.” (Can't it be both?)

Wrote for @bostonglobe.com about the excellent, overlooked band Salem 66, which was part of the vibrant Boston underground-rock scene in the '80s. Online now, in print Sunday: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/30/a...

Donald Trump went to college. His children went to college. His wealthy friends went to college. Now that they've benefited, they're working to pull up the ladder behind them. Universities need to make it clear that defending higher education is about defending the American dream for everyone.

Good conduct, bad conduct, it doesn't matter. Give him a HEARING.

Like the future queen of the Belgians, I’ve lived in both the United States and Belgium. Life is better in Belgium.

Does the government really need to know the "sex assigned at birth" of job applicants?

Since 2020, over 6,700 Indonesians have been kidnapped and forced into jobs that scam people on the internet. Good reporting here on a truly awful story.

I got a peek at a new exhibit about LGBTQ Jews. It brings hidden history into the light and is full of activism and drag and protest buttons. (Also you may have noticed the effort by the culture police to shut down these stories. Don't let them win!) Also the curator is my sister and she's awesome.

great headline

who saw this coming except for everybody
