The stupidest person ever to occupy the White House is also by far the most dangerous. I can't decide whether that's surprising or inevitable.

Not to worry, I'm sure that the Department of Health and Human Services, the CDC, and the NIH will know what to d--- Oh. Oh dear...

Donald Trump is an idiot who thinks he's a genius. He doesn't really understand negotiation because at heart he's a cheap bully in an ill-fitting suit.

It would be funny if it weren't so dangerous. The government is being systematically purged of anyone seen as even potentially disloyal to Trump and the MAGA cult.

How's that protest vote working out? I'm waiting for the protest voters to tell me how Kamala would also have announced plans to literally steal Gaza from the people who live there, relocating millions of them to countries that don't want them and turning the land over to her idiot son-in-law.

How’s that whole “refusing to vote for Harris because genocide” thing working out for you all? Idiots.

I have a feeling I'm going to be quoting this a lot over the next four years.

The most pernicious lie embraced by the right ever since Reagan is that giving money to rich people in the form of tax cuts makes them work harder, giving money to poor people in the form of social services makes them lazy.

My trainer and I sometimes talk politics during our sessions, and he has an interesting theory on what the fuck is wrong with Zuckerberg lately. He thinks that Meta wants to buy #Tiktok.

Democrats are defined by who they want to help, however imperfectly they go about it sometimes. Republicans are defined by who they want to hurt.

Tolerance is a social contract, not a moral standard. Those who refuse to abide by the terms of the contract are not covered by it and do not enjoy its protections. In other words, there is no moral requirement to be tolerant of the intolerant.

As we approach another January 20th, it has occurred to me once again that Republicans love to talk about "American exceptionalism" and how we are the greatest and most capable nation in the history of the world. (1/5)

"You have a face like a monkey's ass" turns out to be a compliment. Interesting fact of the day: chimps recognize each other's hindquarters in the same way that humans recognize each other's faces, seemingly through similar mechanisms in the brain. www.livescience.com/57127-chimps...

I had to say goodbye today to my best friend and devoted companion of the past nine and a half years. I’d have walked in front of traffic for her, but when cancer struck there was nothing I could do. I’ll miss you every day, Beckett.

I transferred a prescription from a pharmacy to Mark Cuban's CostPlus Drugs today because I was tired of dealing with my insurance company's prior authorization process. Cost w/insurance for 30 pills at the pharmacy: $360 (I pay a $40 copay). Cost w/o insurance for 90 pills at CostPlus: $14.89

People who lose money by "investing" in stupid memecoins hawked by flash-in-the-pan pseudo-celebrities and backed by nothing but hype deserve what they get.

Wild turkeys are gorgeous creatures. Their iridescent feathers make them look as if they're constructed out of copper. This one (along with several other members of its flock) was just chilling on the sidewalk in front of my suburban house.

I had a medical thing a couple of weeks back and they gave me Versed before starting the procedure. I remember them putting a mask on me, and then no memories of anything afterward until late evening at home.

Somehow I inadvertently clicked on a starter pack where all of the people involved are posting in German, a language I don't read or speak. Apologies in advance to all of the people I'm about to unfollow.
