No matter how preposterous, the Times headlines nearly every Trump story as if it were written by the White House comms team.

seeing my final Best Picture nom before I head to Japan for two weeks… a perfect day

FYI, you can report an issue in Apple Maps.

stuck in Atlanta overnight because of a fifteen minute flight delay out of Texas 🫠

So far in the last 24 hours, Russia's gotten: - a sympathetic ear/voice installed as DNI - the release of a crime boss - Hegseth ceding Crimea to them - Trump offering a WH visit - The US acting as middleman rather than Ukraine ally

Canada doing a Super Bowl ad is just so sad for America

last february (mustache was fully activated)

saw A Complete Unknown last night. didn’t really like bob dylan before the movie and I really don’t like bob dylan now.

Elon Musk bought the United States of America—the most powerful nation in the world—for $200M. For scale, Steve Ballmer bought the LA Clippers for $2B. The fucking Clippers.

just spent $5 on eggs and thought “what a deal!”

Sabrina is incurable, I’m obsessed with this entire performance

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

Canada is arguably putting more direct pressure on elected Republicans than any U.S.-based group or organization including the Democratic Party www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

yes I’m the last person to see it but holy shit this production. NICOLE.

i can wreck up a whole shop of Faberge eggs in like thirty seconds if you give me a hammer but i'm not sure i could make another one given the rest of my life

For a photo op & a bragging media post, Trump minions at the USACoE have thrown away millions of gals of #water farmers were relying on for later this year. This water will not be captured, will not be useful for cities or farms or firefighting. It is now lost. www.latimes.com/environment/...

“Why didn’t Kamala go on Rogan?” they all screeched in op-eds and tweets, for months on end. Maybe, just maybe, because Rogan, in the tank for the GOP, made it near impossible for her to come on? New reporting:

Democrats are getting smoked in this information environment and they keep doing the same stupid things, every cycle stancilculture.substack.com/p/volume-var...

In May of 2024 Joe Biden signed a bill that provided funds to hire more air traffic controllers to remedy the shortage of such workers. In January of 2025 Trump fired the head of the FAA (because Musk had beef with him) and encouraged federal workers to resign. www.cnn.com/2024/05/16/p...

rewatching Conclave and angry AGAIN that it wasn’t nominated for cinematography

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

It was almost 50° today but I was too busy to leave my apartment to enjoy it. Instead, I was able to stand outside on my balcony like this for three minutes.

y’all idk I think I’m going to be choosing between Whitmer or Pritzker for 2028

Genuinely insane that a major newsroom isn't running a live post today trying to verify what is and what isn't being impacted by the federal funding freeze. Embarrassing how bad the media response is to this.

Sorry to start Monday with violence but y’all really don’t need to be reposting your content two or three times. Once was enough!

umm hello someone is clipping his toe nails in the gym locker room??

disrespectfully, what the fuck?
