I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Madness. They act like only elites visit museums and national parks. This summer they’ll learn the truth. www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

Said every tyrant and dictator in human history to justify his actions.

Thanks, Elon. My salary is public, as is my financial report. But since you ask, when will you be releasing yours?

🚨 BREAKING: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker says he’s going to rename Lake Michigan to “Lake Illinois.” EPIC TRUMP TROLL!!! 🤣

The new cover of TIME.

That I find myself in agreement again with @jeffjacoby.bsky.social is a bit of a surprise but he is def right on this one. I'm old enough to remember when the GOP was the party of free traders & the Dem's were less enthusiastic because of the labor movement. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/05/o...

The Tea Party, who strenuously protested when a Black guy they claimed was born in Africa was spending their tax dollars, are strangely silent now that a white guy who was definitely born in Africa is doing it

Gotta love this one. He's not a porn actor from 1972, he's the current head of the FBI. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/04/u...

Trump: “We don’t know anything at all but we know that black people and women are to blame. I decided the minute I heard the news”

What she said: www.nytimes.com/2025/01/28/h...

Both Musk and Weidel (AfD) speak of Germans moving on from shame and both seemingly forget to mention their grandparents as members of the Nazi party. Musk hosted her on X, she hosted him @ a campaign. Her grandfather was a Nazi judge appointed by Hitler who sentenced opponents of the Third Reich.

Ok, so I skipped almost all of the inaugural news but some got through the iron curtain I'd constructed and the "new" guy predictably did some offensive and egregious things but this article caught my eye for the pure ridiculousness this represents. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/20/u...

Today, MAGA is losing it over this video of Pete Hegseth SLAMMING Trump. “All bluster, very low substance… he’s an armchair tough guy. He said that John McCain is not a war hero yet he sought his own five military deferments.” RT to ruin Trump’s day!

I don’t think the courageous firefighters of Southern California need a lecture about competence from a man who filed six bankruptcies.

Word.

I like that he did this in an outfit that absolutely projects trustworthy vibes. At the end, I bet he rapped his giant pinky ring on the table.

So shocking and so profoundly sad. deadline.com/2025/01/jeff...

How did I miss the “Pants on Fire with George Santos” podcast? He gets a few points for self-awareness.
