Do people remember that before the election in 2016, the Boston Globe printed a fake front page detailing the absurdist horrors of a Trump administration? And that the current front pages have normalized what was once unthinkable? Look at this. It’s the regular news now.

nervous to go to protests? Don’t be. They will be peaceful family affairs. Go with a group, peel off if anything makes you nervous, don’t stay to the bitter end. This moment calls for all Americans to express their rights. And when some cannot, it’s important for others to stand in their place.

There are THOUSANDS of protests planned for June 14th all over the country to send a message to Donald Trump that no one wants his birthday military parade in DC that will cost taxpayers millions. #NoKingsProtest You can find a location here: www.nokings.org#map

"Were treated like dogs. Theyre making us lay on the floor. Were here to help Waymo" Its ok grandpa. The war ended 40 years ago. Go to sleep

My biggest personality flaw is that sometimes I put a typo into an text just to seem relatable. (Jk, I have much worse personality flaws)

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

The ritual worked

Anybody recommend any products that are game changers?

ADMIN is not a fucking word

“Federal law enforcement officers on the scene declined to say what the purpose of the raid was, and directed the Reformer to an email address for ICE’s media contact. Some declined to identify which agency they were with. Most wore masks.” That's called secret police and it looked like it.

In South Park, San Diego, US citizens stigmergically rose up against Trump’s Gestapo. The revolt erupted midday when ICE began rounding up people at a restaurant; patrons and passersby alike dropped everything to confront the regime storm troopers. #3E #EndImpunity #StopICE

A review by THE CITY of court documents involving the most sprawling harassment suit that emerged against Cuomo paints a striking picture of how intensely his legal defense has come after any woman he sees as part of his downfall. www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/02/c...

Happy Pride Month Steve

the big disconnect that happens here is between the correct message for D politicians (especially in red states), which is “you’re right, this isn’t who you are, you’re better than that, vote differently next time” and the actual truth, which is yes you did, fuck you

Any university leader doing this deserves all the shame that history will bestow upon them. www.cnn.com/2025/05/31/p...

It’s a good thing they made it illegal to give children booze because drunk children would be fucking hilarious.

Mission: Impossible has taught us that if you put your mind to it, missions are possible after all.

Star Wars rejected my idea for a good Death Star that gives birth to planets instead of destroying them Disney execs said “it doesn’t make sense that planets squeeze out of the Life Star,”“that couldn’t fit,” “wouldn’t it get crushed?” They underestimate the power of the Force

We're now 8 points away from sending Andrew Cuomo back to the suburbs.

Naive, perhaps, but I think we can transcend politics and find a common enemy here.

Hard to believe they’re talking about the same event.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but WKCR radio is doing a 24 hour Sun Ra marathon right now.

What is happening in Gaza is irredeemably evil. No one who is committing these atrocities, or directly supporting them materially or with public or private rhetoric should ever, ever be forgiven.

The left needs a version of the hypersexual zombie cicada fungus.

Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable. The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found': www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4...

Turned on CNN three times yesterday while running errands. First time was in the middle of a segment about Biden's age. Second time they were airing a promo for Tappers book, which is about Biden's age. Third time was during a panel discussion -- about Biden's age. Meanwhile . . .

America is complicit in the slaughter of the Palestinian people. 2.2 million people are trapped. Disease is spreading. Children are starving to death. And we continue to provide U.S. military aid to Netanyahu.

Trump pardoned the Jan. 6 rioters who injured more than 140 police officers in one of the biggest mass attacks on law enforcement in American history
