Uber

Dozens of passenger jets were forced to divert to other airports or stray course to avoid the red-hot and glowing debris from the exploded SpaceX rocket that rained across the sky on Thursday. This dramatic video captured the spectacle from the cockpit of one plane.

Just checking in to make sure everything is still stupid.

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.

Last time the U.S. invaded Canada, the White House ended up burned down. Don’t mistake politeness for passivity, you hoser.

Wow that’s cute!💕⁣💕⁣💕⁣

The lack of empathy towards California fires victimsis disheartening. Audio of today's Opie Radio podcast wherever you get your pods.

Calling All Enablers: My 10-Year Breakup Story #BadChemistry #HilariousBreakup

Jimmy Carter is welcomed into heaven today. “Well done good and faithful servant.” He will be missed

See below for my statement in response to Chairman Loudermilk's "Interim Report":

Way to go Liz. This is just insane

A cocaine tech bro was convicted of killing another cocaine tech bro in San Francisco yesterday. Here's why migrants and the homeless are really to blame.

I know the Democrats in Congress are very aware that Trump didn't run on finding common ground to solve problems, he literally ran on revenge and ignoring the Constitution, so why act like seeking common ground is the savvy political play right now?

After his successful consolidation of power, the Leader prepares for show trials of those who resisted his first failed putsch.

After Fox co-workers told media he was often drinking or hungover while at work, Pete Hegseth challenged people to find a single clip showing him drinking on the job. We accepted the challenge.

Finally, a nomination we can collectively laugh at without having to worry about the end of civilization.

“So I’m in the park dropping off another dead bear when I see this guy on a bike in a hood and face mask ditching a backpack, and yada yada yada, I end up giving him a lift to the Port Authority on 178th.”

Democracy is worth the dedication to defend. #FridayNightResistance

The GOP used to opposed frivolous lawsuits. Now it uses them to intimidate. IT WONT WORK YOU WEAK ASS CLOWNS. Why would tiny scared people intimidate anyone? Talking about you Kash

The culture wars, the race wars, the gender wars...all smoke screens for the war they don't want you to fight. The class wars.

Am I genuinely considered cute?

I talk about engaging rural folks because I know there is opportunity in rural spaces. If Democrats will just spend time and resources there…if we build the infrastructure in the off years, we can win. We don’t have to flip rural districts— just get 5% more rural folks to vote for Dems. Then we win.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

I know I don’t have to point out what a moronic hypocrite Trump is but sometimes it’s fun. Why doesn’t he fire his USSS?

Trump’s DOGE has fostered the idea that federal salaries are an extravagance, but private sector workers get paid 8% more than their civil servant counterparts. @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social

Jensen Huang, the chief executive of Nvidia, is the 10th-richest person in the U.S., worth $127 billion. He is also the beneficiary of a series of tax dodges that will enable him to pass on much of his fortune tax free, according to securities and tax filings reviewed by The New York Times.

This is still a great country. This is still a resilient country. We are still a united movement. And believe us, this fight is not over. youtu.be/MHAW38GSLlo?...

As a congressman, nominating young people for military academies is the best part of the job. But I got to go flying with one who is all grown up now! Amazing full circle.

You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE

Today is Celebrate Shelter Pets Day! 🥳 I don't know what I'd do without my shelter cats Fergus and Francie, and this holiday season I'm trying to raise some money to make sure more wonderful friends in our community find their perfect homes. Please consider donating if you can! gofund.me/a44dd513

on “Wonderful Christmastime,” Sir Paul McCartney set out to make a timeless christmas classic and also to figure out what every button on his synthesizer did, and he absolutely succeeded at one of those things

OMG, this would be HILARIOUS! 😆

The anti-LGBTQ+ account was suspended after just nine days on Bluesky—and users are applauding the X alternative for its actual content moderation.

Pro tip: Not drinking on the job is kind of expected in most cases.

Journalist David Frum said "if you're too drunk for Fox News, you're very, very drunk indeed" on Morning Joe today. This prompted co-host Mika Brzezinski to give an apology to Fox News later in the show. We don't dislike the media enough.

Their latest attempt to bring down Bluesky now involves hordes of polite disagreement AI bots. Quick, while the bots are asleep, who’s got a bots block list?

When you can't let the cat go out because he might invade Poland

Saying “I promise not to drink on the job” because you have a record of drinking on the job, should be disqualifying as fuck for ANY job, let alone the Secretary of Defense. Why didn’t he also say, “I promise not to sexually assault any women on the job.” Is sexual assault not as disqualifying?

When you spent billions and destroyed your brand to recreate 1930's Germany and got 1780's France instead.
