Not all heroes wear capes.

TIL that Peter Weller (Robocop & Buckaroo Banzai!) has a PhD in Italian Renaissance Art & Roman History.

Damn, the marketing team for “Conclave” is pretty hardcore & ruthless in their Oscar campaign.

Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA. Elon’s companies get billions from defense contracts. He’s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.

So they got the shortest pop singer on earth to duet with Paul Simon, but somehow, he was still shorter. (And I know, she was wearing heels).

New episode of my podcast Synth & Surf Saloon is now available on Apple Podcasts & Soundcloud. drinkableglobe.com/2025/02/17/s...

I’m starting to think that the “Democrats in Array” account is just Schumer in disguise.

Would someone from Europe please invade us? We helped de-Nazify your continent 80 years ago & now it’s time for you to return the favor.

Doge is auditing NASA today. This is absurd. The owner of Space X should not be auditing NASA. It’s a massive conflict of interest.

This is your daily reminder that it's a coup.

No words. But, I’m not surprised. I am a military veteran. I’m a former congressman. I cannot in good conscience follow or support this administration. Anyone voting for her is complicit in the downfall of this country. Tulsi Gabbard is an abomination. apple.news/A01S4jqQSSK-...

Mitch McConnell voting no on terrible cabinet picks because he doesn’t have to run for reelection is all the proof you need that we must have term limits. You shouldn’t only have a spine because you don’t have to run again. We are breeding chicken shit power hungry electeds.

Liberals: Why don’t people understand these critical issues and keep voting in ways that directly negatively impacts them? NYTimes: paywall WSJ: paywall WaPo: paywall Business Insider: paywall The Guardian: paywall Fox News: open Newsmax: open OAN: open Liberals: It’s such a mystery.

Musk is POTUS. Trump's only role is signing whatever Edolf and Stephen Miller put in front of him, then go on TV and say things "very strongly." He got his stay-out-of-jail card. He doesn't give a fuck about anything else but golfing and grifting. Democrats need to get way more creative and fast.

It's time to end DEI and restore meritocracy. We will start by having six teen-aged children of Elon Musk's friends use glitchy AI tools to analyze federal expenditures.

If we don’t oppose Trump aggressively enough, we might lose our democracy. But if we oppose him too aggressively, we might lose something even more important: our norms.

Donold backed down on tariffs, claimed victory and took credit for things that Biden had already negotiated. But Canadians will never forget this. He has made a critical error.

The world is going straight to hell, but on the plus side, I’ve got a new podcast. Fans of surf music, synth-pop, industrial, dark wave &!EBM will love it! Here’s the brand-new episode of the Synth & Surf Saloon! soundcloud.com/jeff-ciolett...

Anyone in the FBI or CIA who gets fired by the new regime should start a private militia & overthrow the dictator.

LEGISLATION IS POINTLESS WHEN YOU'RE IN THE MINORITY AND THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY VOTES IN LOCKSTEP WITH TRUMP. DO SOMETHING MEANINGFUL OR STEP ASIDE!

fuck this rodent!

Bipartisanship is a fantasy.

The universe speaks in mysterious ways.

Remember when we said Trump is going to do project 2025 and everyone said “no, he’s not.” Turns out …

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

Ouch. The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board just called Trump's new trade war "The Dumbest Trade War in History"

Boycott American Idol with their new host Carrie Underwood

The job of congress isn't to come on here and tell us stuff, that's the media's job. Your job is to tell us what you're going to DO about it.

Hey Merrick Garland, fuck you forever. Through your inaction, you enabled this blitzkrieg against the rule of law and democracy.

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something: Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain." And just stand there. This is how many of you are coming across.

Cheer up, Democrats. Maybe it’s true that we’re standing by doing nothing as Donald Trump destroys our democracy. But at least we’re staying true to our norms and values.

Never forget

Hello all cable news: do not broadcast the President of the United States talking about air traffic control. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

One thing has been made clear in the past two weeks: Americans are not safe with Donald Trump in charge.

the media has now more or less uniformly adopted the theory that the president is allowed to violate the law and constitution however much he wants to so long as he says he is going to do it in advance

In Trump's America, it's open season for criminals. As Trump weakens the FBI, child sex offenders and murderers, pardoned by him, are back on the streets. Crypto scammers are given free rein to operate unchecked. Trump's America will be defined by rampant crime and lawlessness.

Holy ****

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.
