I keep seeing people posting interviews with Musk about his focus on colonizing Mars because the Sun will eventually kill life on Earth. Not sure how something that will happen 100s of millions of years from now justifies being so much of a dick today.

Looking for tissues in my wife's car I discovered that they can become heavily Altoid scented when stored together. Funny thing is it kinda works.

Stephen Miller says that they are considering suspending habeas corpus. Have to take it with a grain of salt since the comment is coming from the human embodiment of syphilis, but I feel the need to point out that there is no such thing as an overreaction to such a step.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Is it a trade secret how Fazoli's inserted a brain freeze into every sip of their Italian ice? Every. Single. Sip. Just kind of staring at it at this point and very conflicted.

I bet Hegseth also invited in some woman from his high school who dumped him when he was a kid so he could show her what she lost out on.

Fairly sure Trump wants to think of himself as a king, but I don't think referring to him as HRM (His Royal Majesty) does him justice. Ah! HOM President Trump works. His Orange Malignancy just about covers it.

So if HOMES is a mnemonic device that kids learn to remember the names of the Great Lakes, and Vivek Ramaswamy wants Lake Erie to be renamed Lake Ohio, then that becomes....

My morning routine seems to regularly include me looking out the back door and saying "Just poop already, dog" to no one in particular.

“Trump and Vance appear to have entered the meeting with the intention of berating Zelensky and drawing him into an argument as a pretext for the diplomatic break,” Jonathan Chait writes: theatln.tc/ejdvMpQT

MAGA adores Andrew Tate, the influencer who became famous by glorifying the abuse of women, @davidfrum.bsky.social writes. The reason is unsettling:

I wonder if Musk pictures this whenever he is irritated with all of the little people getting in the way of his grand plans? Gotta get SpaceX right on it.

Let’s face it. Getting rid of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is to make way for less qualified white men to take positions they don’t deserve.

When Trump meets with Putin, does he start on his knees or does Putin like to see him drop?

This is re: Trump's EO to ban trans persons from the military. Reyes is a federal judge. If I got this etherized in court I'd walk into the fucking sea. bsky.app/profile/mike...

So wait a minute. It is back to being Fort Bragg but it is not THAT Bragg but a different Bragg? Children. These people are friggin children.

Imagine the instant reporter street cred earned when at the next Trump news conference, when he points to someone for a question, that person says "Are you gathering a list of questions for when the guy in charge shows up?"

I wonder how long it will be before Trump announces that the Secret Service is disbanded and replaced by the Wagner Group.

I am seeing things about Canadian fans booing the US national anthem at hockey games. Wholly appropriate for the flag of a people who elected someone who questioned the sovereignty of Canada and wants to make it at best a client state. Complete and utter lies about drugs and such ignored.

Increasing numbers of January 6 attackers seem to be getting themselves killed. It is like Karma is going all Final Destination now.

The more you impose tariffs on other countries the more they start going to other countries for business. Other countries are taking advantage. This is just stupid gesturing and flexing by ignorant morons that serves the isolationist goals of those who are using them.

If you are someone who did not vote for Trump but also did not vote for Harris because of Gaza, today's comments from Trump are another reminder for me to say bite me.

a bunch of posts about abortion pills vanished from Instagram. Meta put them back after we asked what was happening: www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/t...

I think I can safely expect that the next four years with this POTUS will be summarized by future historians with the following: A shitty man elected by shitty people did a shitty thing. Rinse, repeat.

This playbook seems to be used for a lot more than anti-Semitism these days.
