Trump just signed an executive order uncancelling Woody Allen and anyone who doesn't watch his new Amazon series "Finkel's Dilemma" will now be cryogenically frozen.

Attention birdwatchers! - When you see a rare bird that’s far off its course just know you are looking at the dumbest individual from that species

I feel like I've been intermittently screaming about this since it happened

There should be a secondary car horn for apologizing.

I am a very proud monthly donor to the Palmetto State Abortion Fund. They are doing absolutely vital work in difficult circumstances, and every dollar you send goes to helping people access crucial abortion care. Funds like these and heroes like these are the front line for our freedom.

Really enjoying the stories about congressmen getting yelled at about DOGE shit in their town halls. Not because I feel like it's necessarily going to move things in the right direction in the next election cycle or two, really. I just like stories about congressmen getting yelled at I think.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

[willem dafoe unprompted] now, this cookie monster. [toothy smile] what a creature, what a lust. it consumes him. [crosses legs] he’s really a tragic figure.

I write about trump take egg.

One thing I truly don’t get is when people are offended at criticisms of AI when they have no financial interest in the technology. Are you doing this because your great grandmother was a computer?

In the same way John Mulaney once said Trump is a hobo's idea of a rich guy, Musk is an incel's idea of a cool guy.

Remembering fondly a time with less ambiguity about what counts as nazi stuff and whether said stuff was Bad.

What’s wrong, babe? You haven’t touched your Eggo-brand alcoholic Appalachian sippin’ cream

marvel studios continue to slowly decline -> increasing american hostility and isolationism leads to drop in film production intended for global markets -> rebirth of the mid-budget hollywood comedy

all the racists who spent the last eighty years inventing cute little “you can’t prove I meant it” workarounds to do nazi signs probably feel pretty silly now that it turns out you can just sieg heil in public

I don't think any of us can judge the people who clap when the plane lands now.

We must remove The Last Supper from Basilica di Santa Maria delle Grazie and replace it with a still from last week's Drag Race when everyone realized Hormona left her bob wig behind.

Not the important thing, but is it ever NOT CPAC? It’s like Toyotathon for losers.

Using one of these long boys like a quarter on a string

In a very genuine way we need to salute dudes like this who are just big guys in baseball caps who say things like “I’m a Christian so I think we should care about everybody”

Moms love to learn about 5Calls. Send your mom the 5Calls script about protecting trans people today. 5calls.org/issue/transg...

Pet peeve of mine: do you have to mention this every single time? Just say 'from the moment he announced'. Any significance the act of descending a golden escalator may have once had has long been drained by overuse.

Friend just confirmed via text she's putting her cat down and Apple Intelligence just suggested I respond "haha I feel you."

We are hurtling toward the government mandated return of white Jake from State Farm.

incredible exchange, @marisakabas.bsky.social

✨So I've been actively pitching this idea around. People seem to love it, but the podcast market is tough right now. If you/anyone you know might be interested, I have a full pitch I can send you. DMs are open. Or hmu at [email protected]. (Please reskeet.)

someone put their pronouns in their email signature in 2017 and now the world's most irksome Boer has my social security number

AI when forced to confront a man's love for his beautiful transsexual wife

Wife’s out of town so you know what that means.

I am probably on some government lists now but at least I am in good company.

This is a comprehensive (and very bleak) summary of the current state of US science

[Walt Whitman tries to tell a joke] A priest, rabbi, and minister walk into a bar, sailor-men, merchant-men, walk into a bar, Workmen and Workwomen! into a bar, Blacksmiths with grimed and hairy chests, the carpenter dressing his plank, president and prostitute walk into a b

This is tremendously shameful.

Realized all these dogs on the Titanic were going to die and was inconsolable for the rest of the movie.
