And Xi could end up the most pro-Taiwan leader in Chinese history, because anything is possible I guess. If we’re killing all of the DEIs do we at least get to end affirmative action for conservatives, too?

Just don’t buy

This new Oregon Trail game feels a little too close to home....

Back in the day it was called "Readers Digest" www.marketwatch.com/picks/we-tes...

So ghoulish that words fail me. Imagine paying a corporation to have a soulless & hallucination-prone chatbot give your elderly parent unsupervised calls, pretending to be a caring human being, so you won't have to? This would make an awesome science fiction plot, but as a reality it's vomit-worthy

If one of my kids signed me up for InTouch's "AI"-based hoax calls I would disown them so fast their head would spin.

Here is another good reason to install the @signal.org app. signal.org/blog/cellebr...

Who knew I would ever find myself rooting for Harvard?

Shout-out to Katy Perry for handing Jeff Bezos more cash than I and all my friends who are boycotting Amazon and WaPo can keep from his clutches if we boycott him for the rest of our lives. For an 11-minute carnival ride.

As if yet another indictment of our civilization was needed: ladies and gentlemen, meet Type 5 diabetes, AKA "malnutrition-related diabetes."

Many of the voters Griffin is seeking to disenfranchise in the NC Supreme Court race are military voters who used an absentee ballot, just like Griffin did in 2020. These voters followed all the rules and voted legally, and should not be harassed simply bc Griffin is a sore loser. #OurVoteCounts

Oh I am so going to have to read this. Everything I am today I owe to R. Crumb's Zap Comix. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Not quite sure about @wileynickel.com's bid to unseat NC Sen. Thom Tillis. OK, the more the merrier. But I don't see how he makes the case he's a better candidate than Roy Cooper, who has a spotless record of kicking NC goper butt. Just please don't go negative in the primary, Wiley. #ncpol

It's time to internalize the fact that FEMA won't be there for us after the next hurricane, flood, wildfire, earthquake or tornado. And if you live in a red state your state government won't be there either. Plan accordingly: emergency food and water. Insurance. Plan an escape route. And vote blue.

Great. Now what am I supposed to do with all these tiny screws?

Trump's FEMA administrator to Western NC Helene victims, still living amid wreckage: "Pound sand, crybabies." The blood-red region's goper congressman, arms merchant Ted Budd, concurs, fearful of criticizing the Dear Leader. #ncpol ncnewsline.com/2025/04/12/f...

Who knows? This just might be the shortest trade war in history.

Durham County's Horton Grove Justice Trail is positively elvish this time of year, when the trees are bedecked in their newest finery.

We really should consider changing the name of the Mammoth Caves to Trump Caves. www.cnn.com/2025/04/12/t...

Wait...you mean they can't just ask ChatGPT?

One billion percent tariffs.

Anyone who silently allows this to happen in their name is a fascist, not a Christian. Look at what's happening to Rubio's face. The evil is consuming him from the inside out.

It really is so disgusting seeing all the photos coming out of Russia of Witkoff’s trip and meet with Putin. He is whitewashing a terrorist state that is committing genocide and just last week murdered Ukrainian children at a playground

Inflation expectations have spiked dramatically.
