It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I mean, if the buck stopped with this guy, he probably wouldn't have had to declare so many bankruptcies.

At this point journalistic integrity demands that every mention of Trump be preceded by the identifier "Russian asset." "An Executive order was signed by Russian asset President Trump today..."

Y'all remember back in the 80s when Oral Roberts said God was gonna kill him if he didn't raise $8 million? It's amazing that anyone from my generation turned out religious. You gotta wonder how obvious it would have to be for them to see it.

Me in 1997: "Man, getting married on Valentine's Day is so clever. I'll never forget my anniversary." Me in 2025: "I wonder what it's like for people who can get a dinner reservation for their anniversary without a spreadsheet."

Not. A. Skeptic. He's a vaccine denier. And an AIDS denialist. And a scam artist. Call him what he is.

We might just be stuck with "Gulf of America" now. I just can't imagine a future Democrat willing to do something as "un-American" as officially changing the name back.

Both Gabbard and RFK Jr. were confirmed. I think we need to abandon any thought that there's a line they won't cross.

And yes, the resolution to rename Greenland to "Red, White, and Blueland" was introduced by my congressman. That and ass margaritas. That's what my neck of the woods has to offer the world.

It's impressive how many people will respond to "You'd have to be a real idiot to think X" with "X!!!1!!!!!!!"

Given his history, we should count ourselves lucky that he didn't change it to The Gulf of Trump.

There are a lot of iconic blue things that are two syllables long, which makes it all the weirder that for the cliche poem opening, we're sticking with a flower so decidedly not blue that we named a shade of purple after it.

I'm finally getting around to reading Parable of the Talents. I feel like the only thing Butler got wrong is that she overestimated how charismatic and attractive our fascist dictator would have to be.

Think about how many people just spent the entire football season spreading conspiracy theories about how it was all rigged so that the Chiefs would win again, and how few of them are waking up today and thinking "clearly I need to rethink how I evaluate information."

I'm so fucking sick of these "can't we all get along" platitudes. No. The other side are Nazis. Compromising with them is morally unjustifiable. Shut the fuck up, Brad Pitt.
