This is some lovely infographic design

Oh look—-someone brought his Erector Set project to the drug store.

Every single Republican on the committee who voted “yes” on Bobby “my head is being eaten by worms” Kennedy, Jr. is a venal coward. #RFK vote

Are there any legislators left? Has Congress just given up? Surely there are some in both parties who are appalled by what #Musk (aka the actual pres) is doing. Is the whole body a festering pool of cowardice?

Nicolle Wallace just made an assumption that I think is incorrect: that Americans care about departments and institutions being gutted. Half of us -MAGAts-care only about themselves…at any cost.

if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools

I can’t wait for the day this overly-enthusiastic, MAGette press secretary is called to testify about Trump’s crimes in front of Congress in a few years.

The Senate has confirmed a drunk, serial adulterer, abuser with no relevant experience, who also drove previous organizations into the ground as Secretary of Defense. So there’s that.

My partner died 2 months ago today and to commemorate his passing, the kitchen and powder room pipes froze and broke. So we’re like twinsies—frozen and broken. 💔🫥 #grief

Feeling of the day: NYT, “The Lives They Lived”

Huge dead chewed-up goose on the compost heap. Someone please come remove it. Will pay airfare.

Just in case, I think I’ll spend all day tomorrow on TikTok.

Am I the only person who doesn’t want TikTok to go away?

The coldest inauguration in 40 years…sounds about right.

The “mother country,” Sen. Lee? WTF is the mother country?

WTF is that peculiar phrasing “war fighters?”

It would take Supertyper to be fast enough to fact-check Hegseth and the Republicans in this hearing. Also, fuck the Republicans.

The best sentence in the NYT’s obituary of Anita Bryant: “Ms. Bryant attempted a comeback tour in 1988, performing in Florida trailer-park rec rooms.”

Just what we needed, Bucks! Ohio State *defense* getting the touchdown.

So, how fun is it to have a convicted felon for the next president?

Yes, I’m deeply cynical, but wants to bet that Trump will undo any promises Biden is making to California?

JFC! You write one little post on Facebook saying that your partner has died unexpectedly and posting funeral info and then your whole fucking feed is filled with lame-ass poems about loss. Yeah, I know. He died. My life is shattered. I don’t need reminding.

My #grief diet: cigarettes, coffee, and chocolate. My normal diet: cigarettes, coffee, and chocolate, but less.

Listening to all of the commentary on Jimmy Carter’s life, I was thinking about how no one, nobody, no one at all, will mourn Trump when he dies.

Well would you look at that.

When you’re trying to get a picture of the #luminaria and your dog suddenly pulls on the leash.

Watching the #ohiostate game without my person. He’s been dead a month tomorrow. So far, I’ve barely made it through dotting the i. I hope he knows I’m watching it for him. 💧💔
