“Florida man harasses local megachurch with homemade whip”

Dismissing concerns about the tariffs is certainly part of it, but I also think this is just the result of someone who is deeply out of touch. Just look at the numbers he references. 30 dolls? 250 pencils? Bet he sees the kids of the people around him and thinks all the countries kids are like that.

TIL both @adamconover.net and @iwriteok.bsky.social are left-handed. Sinistrous persons! Rise up, and throw off the oppression of the dexterous!

Trump: It’s good for little girls to go without dolls this Christmas Also Trump: you don’t understand, I *need* to decorate the Oval Office in 24 karat gold! It’s very important for our nation!

Strauss-Howe theory, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Bust

I’m getting the idea that people have been, without knowing it, convinced of Strauss-Howe Turning Theory and now don’t want good things for their children out of fear that it’ll create a generation of weak men.

On the one hand, I think celebrating kicking Nazi add is a fine thing to do. On the other, I’d really rather it not be because this douche canoe said to do so. Also, seems a bit strange he chose V-E Day instead of V-J Day. Guess I’ll chalk it up to pop culture shaping his view of WWII.

I know Amazon *said* they’re not showing tariff impacts on price, but I get the feeling they just said that to get Trump off their backs. Why do I think this? I’ve noticed some pretty steep shipping prices for some furniture on Amazon…

Charging $1000 for asylum is so asinine. “Sorry, you’re too poor to claim that you’re being persecuted in your home country”: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/28/u...

… it took me this long to understand that “gilded age” is saying “a golden age, but only on the surface, like something gilded only having a thin coating of gold”

Y’know, I’d be willing to put money on RFK jr. responding to “what about all the autistic people who do pay taxes and live independently, but just, really like trains?” with “well, they’re not autistic – they’re Asperger’s”

I can already hear some of the War of Dignity “realists” in my life: “Of course they get something. *They get to live.*” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

The number of NYT articles I see shared here that aren’t gift articles is frustrating.

Wow. This put to words something I’ve been reckoning with regarding “strategic voting” for years.

Man, I’ve been saying this for years. I had a roommate try and convince me that I shouldn’t “drown with my ideals”. Like, bitch, power without any ideals to guide its application is only good for maintaining itself!

Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation

Who tf put this rental car on Hawaiian time‽

Ok, I’m back on trying to work out something I’d been somewhat planning before the election: purchasing a home. I’ve identified a few down payment assistance programs, now I just need to figure out if they’d allow the scheme I’ve devised of buying a duplex, renting one side, and living in the other.

… why 49% on Cambodia specifically??? Like, who even thinks about Cambodia enough to justify the highest single tariff???

Whoa, I already supported Susan Crawford, you don’t have to keep selling me on her!

I’ll take this with plenty of salt, but it pays to be hopeful 🤞

God, I wish I could’ve asked him if he thought the Navajo code talkers were good at their jobs

“Concerta side effect is reduced appetite” Whoa there, I thought the side effects are supposed to be bad! ;)

I have yet to hear of a leveraged buyout that did not result in the destruction of the acquired company. That fact alone should be enough for the practice to be illegal.

An administration that explicitly rejects the message at her feet, “give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore”, does not deserve her
