have to admit, asking a yoga instructor why she doesn't use chatGPT in her work is a great bit

A lot of American politicians, media, and public treat Trump threatening long-time US allies and partners as somehow not real. Like it's a reality TV show, or "just trolling," or part of some secretly good negotiating strategy. But all his targets are taking it very seriously, and are right to.

Imagine Andrew Tate actually doing something that didn't involve posing & posturing. Imagine him being an actual hero. Imagine him self-deprecating, & only wanting a quiet life, after what he's been through. Imagine good men & women having tears in their eyes when they meet him. You can't, can you?

Add cutting aid shipments to Ukraine to the other policies enacted under Trump that Trump claims not to know about: 1) Briefing Elon on China war plans 2) Signing Alien Enemies Act 3) Choosing not to ask for Abrego Garcia's return www.reuters.com/world/us/ord...

Do you remember when Trump promised to end the Ukraine War in a day, force the release of all hostages held by Hamas before he was inaugurated, and destroy the Houthis as a military force?

The Washington Post bragging about Pulitzer winner Ann Telnaes, the political cartoonist who left the Post because it had turned into an anti-journalism partisan rag, is one of the most shameless examples of misplaced self-congratulations in recent memory.

"The Trump administration’s toxic anti-wokeness—and its combination of zealotry, bullying, and bumbling incompetence—is likely not only to harm the institutions it targets but to make it harder to criticize toxic DEI."

As DOGE sucks up government data that Americans thought was confidential, RFK Jr. says people's privacy will be "protected" in his autism registry. I remember when Republicans pretended to be against big government. In fact, they just wanted it to be *their* big government.

"The curriculum will no longer cover Order 66, when the Jedi Council misinterpreted a prophecy, chose the wrong chosen one, and allowed the Sith to infiltrate our ranks, which culminated in Anakin Skywalker murdering the younglings and then proceeding to enslave the entire galaxy."

Felon Enrique Tarrio (seditious conspiracy and obstruction of law enforcement), leader of the Proud Boys, thanked felon Donald Trump (deliberate falsification of business records), leader of the GOP, for pardoning him for his role in the attack on Congress and the police.

I don’t think enough men realize that “I want someone to clean up after me and cook for me and make my appointments and remember everything I need” isn’t just unappealing bc woke, it’s also deeply deeply unsexy to have to parent the person you’re having sex with.

Given that most, if not all MAGA merch is made in China, I'll be really curious to see what happens to their pricing and availability 😁

Only when 70 million Americans together go on strike will America listen.

🏺🌋 Meanwhile in #Pompeii: As Vesuvius spewed fire, these four Pompeians, three adults and a child, tried to barricade the door with a bed to protect themselves from the pyroclastic clouds pouring in. Alas, in vain - unfortunately even this couldn't stop the flow of ash. ▶️ youtu.be/R_SJmeOMvuc

If this is true, why is he carrying a red light saber? Fucking dipshit posers.

Were any of you actually planning on buying 30 dolls for Christmas or are you just trying to make it there alive?

this is how you do May 4th as a politician, this is clearly a man who saw the original Star Wars in theaters got the lightsaber color right and everything

"'What is remarkable about Trump’s first 100 days is that he took the two issues he was strongest on—the economy and immigration—and completely destroyed his credibility on both.'"

Gondor calls for aid! And Rohan will answer. Muster the Rohirim! Ask for a minerals deal.

I don't think that going back to working in factories takes it far enough. I want to be a jolly ploughboy whistling away behind a couple of workhorses.

"I was in a Chinese restaurant and duck wearing a bow tie came up and handed me a single red rose. Then he handed me a velvet box containing a diamond ring and said 'I give you this because the stone's sparkle reminds me of your eyes'. I said 'Waiter! I asked for aromatic duck.'"

*uses time machine to burst into a room ten years ago* "I don't have much time, but for the love of god choose Chaos with Ed Miliband™ "

The trouble with reality is that it's under absolutely no obligation to be narratively plausible. The re-election of Trump manifests that with absolute clarity.

"I don’t get the big deal around this so-called Signalgate 2.0. Is a man not supposed to talk to his wife about his day anymore? If you ask me, our beloved Empire is under attack—and so is the sanctity of marriage." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/i-f...

“While powerful law firms and universities sought shelter from White House attacks, a tiny school fought back and, improbably, won.” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

New in PN: Trump's brain is gone "Trump’s competence has always left a lot to be desired, but recent interviews show a president who’s no longer capable of even the veneer of mental acuity. Meanwhile, his party behaves like courtiers to a mad king."

The new film “Sinners” is a symphony of vampire bites, gunshot wounds, and people being staked in the heart and left to burn alive, @adamserwer.bsky.social writes. But the true horror is the Jim Crow economy, which drives every event in the film.

SNL killed it. Colin Jost: “If I come downstairs and there’s just 2 dolls under the tree, there better be another tree with 28 dolls underneath it”. Hell no! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Break them all. Let them wither and die.

I mean, the warning wasn't wrong. #proofOfCat

Repeat after me: Local elections matter — yes, all the way down to school boards. Keep running & fighting EVERYWHERE. Well done, Mansfield! 👏👏👏

Isn't this the plot of Godfather III?

it will never stop being crazy that conservatives have brain poisoned people to the extent that we now have to care deeply about the results of school board elections in places where we don’t live

Just Friday morning, my boss's boss tried to explain to me that Trump was the most important person in the world because he was the only one with the intelligence and will to bring about world peace. We were in a staff meeting so I could neither punch her nor say what I thought.

“For this group, feudalism is the preferable end state and so a massive economic contraction is…an opportunity. The real answer is probably “both.” There are techno-feudalists getting generational wealth and idiots who can’t tell their ass from a ham sandwich.” www.thebulwark.com/p/behold-the...

Can I raise the possibility that the problem is society indulged conspiracy theorists too much, rather than not enough? Just throwing it out there for consideration.

Three-quarters of British young men think Andrew Tate is a dick. We just need to encourage them to gang up on the other quarter and... gently explain why they're wrong... www.nationalworld.com/news/people/...

The plots of disaster movies that portray the end of civilization often begin with high-level Government Officials ignoring the warnings of Scientists. One of several lesson learned from the 2.5 hour @Netflix Documentary — Don’t Look Up (2021).

While kids die of measles, RFK Jr. is pushing vitamins and cod liver oil instead of vaccines that are 97% effective. It’s not just junk science — it’s deadly negligence from a health secretary who’d rather coddle conspiracy theorists than save lives.

What happened to all those constitutional conservatives? www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Feels like the moment MeToo went from discussing sexual assault and harassment by celebrities to examining these same abuses by family and friends, we saw an acceleration of the argument that “society gives boys nothing”. An orchestrated backlash by abusers who saw that their unmasking was coming.

It’s actually worse than this. He’s lying. He doesn’t think he needs to follow the Constitution at all.

As we’ve said before now confirmed. FOIA requests reveal that DOGE employees are pulling in six-figure salaries, with many holding the title of “Expert,” a specific Office of Personnel Management (OPM) designation that pays around $190,000 a year.

Trump on if he's okay with a recession: "Yeah. Everything's okay."

we need to talk about the pathological culture of hate that millions of americans raise their children in

"Despite the administration’s claims, many of the immigrants sent to El Salvador had entered the United States legally and were actively complying with U.S. immigration rules." www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Imagine for a moment the political firestorm if Obama or Biden had said “I don’t know” in response to a question about their obligation to uphold the Constitution.
