For the time being, "This isn't what I voted for" is one of the best possible things to hear, no matter how enraging and unfair it is. Convincing them to turn to the camera and explain they are now the correct kind of socialist will have to wait at least a minute, unfortunately

Trump letting everyone know the law doesn't apply to him or his cronies anymore.

If people understood how big moose are and how vicious they can be there would be at least a dozen sports teams with moose mascots

Reviewing Japanese restaurants is tough for me because all I want to do is eat raw fish. For you, dear reader, we supplemented sushi with other dishes on the menu at Yamasho Sushi Steakhouse in Western Lights. It's this week's review at syracuse.com and @thisiscny.com.

In the parlance of my youth, Travis Kelce gets the gasface for being extra nice about Trump being at the game, only to have Trump tear apart Taylor on “Truth Social” at 3am. You play nice with this man you end up looking like a chump. Travis looks like a chump.

Thanks @jefftiedrich.bsky.social for the video. Bash: “I remember a time when Republicans were very careful about the government having access to personal data.” Noem: “well, we can’t trust the government anymore.” Bash: “you are the government.” Noem: “yes, that’s what I’m saying.”

A MINOR

dont let anybody ever tell you that hate can't be an effective muse

in 1,000 years aliens are gonna find whatever’s left of earth and as they’re piecing together our history they’ll come upon that halftime show and go “goddamn you can’t lose a rap battle worse than that”

Snoop and Tom Brady: say no to hate Kendrick: actually

Super Bowl 2026: The NFL, smarting from JD Vance’s criticism of the 2025 halftime show, presents Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, and Carrie Underwood singing “Camptown Races”

Tom Brady using Matt Gaetz’s plastic surgeon?

Roger Goodell in a t-shirt looking like an Everyman.

Upward mobility, outgrowing a home, job transfers and economic instability are all reasons why families move. These are adult problems with the potential of collateral damage to the children. Kids feel grief and loss when leaving the comfort and safety of an established home. Read more at Dirt Nap.

Cocaine, codeine and lithium? They just don't make soda like they used to. Literally. #makeamericagreatagain

It's not a dog whistle so much as one of those tornado or missile siren.
