i am so glad that jill "cicada" stein is being so vocal & active in leading the fight against the coup orchestrated by President Musk. can't turn on the news without seeing her leading a protest, holding a press conference or challenging what's happening. whatEVER would we do without her?

when did our nation decide apartheid wasn't evil?

MORE TRADE WARS -- this time on steel and aluminum. and yet, strangely, not on raw tobacco.

or the love of all the gawds, please change your automated answering response at your job. you have NOT recently changed your menu options, debra.

i dunno. i think when someone invokes the Fifth Amendment during their confirmation hearing to be director of the FBI, something is amiss. @kashpatel.bsky.social #bloop

now, let's not get all heated at press secretary karoline leavitt's major gaffe. who among us HASN'T had gas station food? #grocerypump #karolineleavitt #bloop

so Trump backed down from trade wars with Canada and Mexico, is letting Musk do whatever he wants, and now is walking away from his "Gaza-A-Lago" plan. Who is running this country right now?

susan sarandon is AWFULLY QUIET about trump's plan to clear palestine and build a resort: gaza a lago. | shockingly, so is jill "cicada" stein. but harris was just too much of a warhawk, amirite?

let's start trade wars with our two neighbors!! that'll go over well.

kennedy the lesser is certifiable and i am petrified he gets confirmed through a tie-break by vance.

Gosh, at 12:01pm, the grocery store had a staffer repricing all eggs: a dozen is now only $.99! #eggs #eggprices #trump

the issue of renaming the gulf of mexico is a pure distraction. look at the legislation being introduced. don't be fooled by the sleight of hand awkwardly carried out by his minions.

carrot cake has vegetables, fiber, healthy carbs, dairy in the form of cream cheese frosting.... the perfect food, no?

i am pretty sure Trump thinks those maps from elementary school that show Greenland as larger than Europe are accurate.

white blue-collar MAGA voters: WE HATE IMMIGRANTS Musk and Vivak: we are into highly-educated immigrants in STEM; that means India and Asia Trump: my DOGE team makes a great point. blue-collar MAGA voters: NO! we hate brown immigrants! We will fight this! me: mmm, popcorn.

so musk is now acting president-elect, trump is his mouthpiece, and vance is on the verge of being the subject of an amber alert. am i up to speed?

white women were literally the first DEI hires.

"do you hear what i hear" is about 18 minutes too long.

so California flipped three red seats: goodbye, MIchelle Steele, Mike Garcia and John Duarte. Democrats lessened the Republican majority in the House. Trump got less than 50% of the popular vote. What red tsunami?

insert witty and pithy post here

gosh, i bet Jill "The Cicada" Stein has retreated back underground instead of trying to mobilize a viable third party. color me shocked.

whatever happened to the hysteria over "pets being eaten by immigrants in ohio," btw?

“The hours of the morning between breakfast and lunch were the time which the inhabitants of Riseholme chiefly devoted to spying on each other.” E.F. Benson, "Queen Lucia" his wit always amazes me

baby dakota jane when she still had blue eyes and side ears

tariffs on goods from canada, mexico and china. ready to see prices rise dramatically? i don't wanna hear one word about the price of eggs.

libraries are exactly the kind of socialism everyone likes. free books? and you trust me with them? and you i just have to pinky swear to bring them back? yes, please

eschatological paranoia makes my toenails itch. folks have been muttering and chattering about 'these are the end times' for thousands of years. stop worrying about tomorrow and just try to be a good person today. now go get me ube boba tea, dammit.

what are the odds on tulsi withdrawing before january?

trump voters: YAY FOR MASS DEPORTATION! also trump voters later this year: WHY IS LETTUCE $10?

the democratic primary for governor of california in 2026 is going to be brutal. newsom is term-limited out: every current statewide officeholder, current/ former leaders of the state legislature, mayors, & independently-funded candidates are already hungry. plus Harris. ai, caramba.

let's get back to putting mandarin oranges in our salads. i don't know why i even have to clarify that.

it's less of a cabinet and more of a junk drawer.

when trump appoints the author of project 2025 to his cabinet, i search for that german word... schadenfreude... because his voters are gonna pay for what they asked for. and i also weep.

trump: i have never HEARD of project 2025 also trump: the author of it is going to be my budget director never underestimate the idiocy of voters who HATE project 2025 and voted for trump. good luck when your medicare is cut and your children's aid is cut and your ssi is cut.

the number of mis hermanos, primos, tios, sobrinos y otros vatos who valued machismo in the last election over empathy and kindness staggers me.

trans people just wanna pee in peace. why is this so hard?

let's hope tulsi and rfk jr and dr oz also don't want to "be a distraction" and withdraw.

tell me a world in which linda mcmahon is qualified to be the secretary of education. she has never worked in a school or classroom in her life. she is betsy devos all over again but without the tupperware.

Nancy Mace (R-Trump's left buttock) wants to stop incoming trans Congresswoman Sarah McBride from using the women's bathroom in the House. Nancy Mace is a menace to society.

trump has no mandate. he received less than 50% of the popular vote.

Cissy Houston, Dionne Warwick, Dee Dee Warwick, Whitney Houston -- so much talent in one family!

Gaetz has never been a prosecutor, paid to r@pe underage girls, and is Trump's #1 priority for his cabinet. Way to go, those who said Harris was "too centrist/progressive/weak." Feel good now?

who DOESN'T want shish kabobs at any time of the day?

EF Benson. The Lucia and Mapp books. Sheer heaven if you are into biting social commentary that transcends its setting of 1930s England, dry wit, and more than a hint of Oscar Wilde. Plus two (2) TV adaptations that capture the spirit of the books! What's not to love?

terry pratchett was more than just the clever guy who invented discworld: he was a brilliant satirist, political analyst, cultural critic and, yes, social justice warrior. i said what i said.

2:40 ayem is the perfect time for carnitas tacos, right?
