I did not see that ending coming on The Pitt tonight. Last week left me crying; this week left me gasping.

The fact that the USA has banned visas for trans people but welcomed rapist Andrew Tate shows how all this "defending women" stuff is total bullshit

Why does the State Department need armored EVs?

Take a deep breath and hold for a count of seven before exhaling. This will flush out most major categories of demons, who need high carbon dioxide levels to flourish.

The key quote in the interview: "I would own this." He thinks he can own Gaza just because he wants to?

How is it possible that people I think of as intelligent and thoughtful are saying this morning that they hadn't heard anything about Musk and the Treasury payment system? We are doomed.

OK, I'll show how I as a reporter, and experts I talked to, didn't appreciate what was coming. I did a quick hit on DOGE after it was announced. I talked to experts. And the upshot was, well, only Congress can create a federal agency. How much power could this have? 1/ www.npr.org/transcripts/...

If you draw Social Security via direct deposit, unvetted Musk and his minions now have access to your bank account among the rest of your personal data. This potentially opens Americans up to the biggest cyber crime ever seen. What are Democrats doing about it?

Trump spent his first week pardoning cop beaters, renaming bodies of water, and trying to shut down Medicaid, food pantries and senior centers. He didn't do anything to make groceries or housing more affordable. He's breaking every promise he made to the American people.

I don’t care. Fuck these McCarthyite bastards.

I saw a little kid in a Sam Darnold Jets jersey today on the beach. I resisted the urge to razz him. #Vikings

I’m watching this godawful Vikings game at an oceanfront bar/restaurant in Puerto Vallarta. So I’ve got that going for me.

Perhaps he should travel there and show them how to do it.

I wish I could read lips. Trump is being particularly chatty with Obama at the Jimmy Carter funeral.

How did I not know this? Probably because my small town didn't have indoor pools, so swimming wasn't part of PE class. www.startribune.com/naked-swimmi...

I finally had enough of Bezos and canceled my Washington Post subscription. But that doesn't take effect until the subscription I paid for is up next June.
