"aspiring himbo" sis you're either dumb or you're not. u can't unlearn that degree u have 😭

Five-ish weeks left of cutting.

“If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.” static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics... All of this. All. Of. It.

i still remember a few years ago when there was a big blizzard sweeping across the nation and I got stuck in NYC and the entire city was SHUT DOWN (reasonably so), but I saw a report about Chicagoans doing business as usual but with different boots on, and I was like, ah, home

Anyone going to Movement in Detroit in May?

The last time I wore a suit and tie. Not unrelatedly, also the last time I shaved.

what is hysterical about this is like....matt, you're a bad catholic. the pope spoke. you disagree, but you aren't listening, and so you're living in sin. I grew up having people say this shit about being gay or supporting abortion or whatever but the same thing is true here! Matt, you're in sin!

i’m so completely uninterested in superhero movies that at this point it feels like a distinct defect in my character. no interest in the self-serious ones, no interest in the jokey lighthearted ones. i tune out as soon as i see a cape or a mask in a trailer. what am i missing

Thiiiiiiis! History has shown that “I’m not Trump” is an unreliable and uninspiring message for Democrats to run on

Historically, after winning five Grammy’s and playing the Super Bowl the next step is a Kidz Bop “Not Like Us”

judges famously lack any authority over attorneys

this place is the mines of moria for people who say “superb owl.” tread with the utmost care

America is crying out for a Liz Cheney/Ghost of Joe Lieberman ticket

Bacardi 151. They discontinued it shortly after I last puked it up on an Evanston beach.

Alert: I’ve found another way to be annoying about workout selfies. Feel free to follow me on Hevy (or as my mother called it, Husky)

Everybody at the pool party will think I’m so cool when they pass me the aux

Can we not send literally anyone else?

i love that in addition to everything else, elon musk is the dumbest asshole on the planet

I hate to ruin my track record of being demonstrably and loudly wrong about new pop singles, @jakeismaking.bsky.social, but I like Abracadabra after one listen.

AHHHHHH

Clearly the only solution for these billionaires is to trick them each into adopting a plucky red-headed orphan child who only know how to scream-sing at the top of her lungs who can teach them about values like love and decency

Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)

This is a constitutional crisis: the President doesn't have the power to cancel funds appropriated by Congress. Also, the math is insane; there is NO way to cut $4B/day by getting rid of "fraud". Cuts of that magnitude will dangerously undermine the core functions of government.

If you’re not pooping before going to the club, you’re setting yourself up for disaster

(I, a person who doesn't watch nature documentaries because they stress me out, accidentally turn on Planet Earth and see a mother tiger and her babies rolling around.) ME: Awwwww. DAVID ATTENBOROUGH: It's unlikely she will be able to raise them all. ME: Goddamn it, David.

Every news thing now is like “law enforcement agency dissolved: all power to Zod!” and then the Dems posting “iron workers have been the backbone of American industry for 100 years, and now tariffs are breaking our promise to them”

I hesitate to promote JD Vance, but the gulf between liberals and conservatives is probably best exemplified by the question: should your good works and charity benefit strangers 100 miles away in the same way they benefit your next door neighbors? Is it noble to be unbiased in this way?

We ride at dawn (in four months)

4D political chess.
