If a Democratic appointee indulged in this level of self-serving decadence, we'd never hear the end of it, and I feel like we should be hearing a lot more about this

This gave me a nightmare. I never have nightmares. I can’t remember it tho. I don’t feel particularly afraid. But it def got in my head.

I’m just a Texan cat rancher but it does seem to me like some dem centrists were hoping to use the Trump thermidor to sideline their progressive wing, whom they hold responsible for recent Dem losses, and Mamdani threw a wrench into that

Never stare into the sun. We tell kids that it'll burn their retinas, damage their eyesight, things like that. But that's not why. It's because the sun is like a wild dog. If you meet its gaze, it thinks you're challenging it. Gets aggressive. Vindictive. It'll come right at you. Look away.

Just received my DNA results and apparently my lineage can be traced back to a pumpkin patch nestled in fog on a cool October day with the sound of crows in the distance.

I would argue that Trump's announcement is actually more mendacious. "Mission Accomplished" could at least be said to apply to the invasion and overthrow of Iraq (which at that point was accomplished). Ignoring the 20 year occupation that would follow was stupid, but arguably not dishonest.

Side note, but this just 100% some Iraqi Minister of Information shit from the White House. If you don't remember that guy, you can still find clips on YouTube I'm sure.

Good things are coming to me. I am attracting success into my life. I am channeling an abundance mindset. Human-faced jellyfish are swarming around my head. Hundreds of tiny ectoplasmic trout are melding to my skin, sending tendrils into my brain. I can't stop enjoying boundless dreams of the sea.

I DESPERATELY need somebody involved in the programming on Grok to set it to reply "I'm sorry, Daddy. You know how much I hate to disappoint you," every time Musk tweets at it directly. You have this amazing opportunity...

"Desperate to drive Titus back to London, Laura makes a pact with Satan and becomes a witch." I have never related to a fictional character in a book summary more than at this moment. There are certainly people I would make a pact with Satan to drive away.

It's Friday! Time to shed your skin and reveal your true, monstrous form. Vanish into the woods, spend an evening in the depths of the swamp, or roam the moors and howl at unwary travelers -- whatever you like. Ride the night winds in search of blood or marrow, if that's your thing. Live a little!

I have thrown myself back into writing as a way to mentally escape from current events, with the result that I'm now writing a book about horny young superheroes. Is it any good? No idea. Is it helping me stay sane? Abso-fucking-lutely.
