These articles drive me absolutely insane. Yes, obviously, it wasn’t the Signal thing, it’s literally everything - he’s a hypocrite who used anything and everything as a cudgel against his perceived enemies even if it’s something he does himself. Stop “discovering” this.

Man, this poor 78 year old man, obviously in the throes of dementia, is being totally manipulated by this billionaire. This is senior abuse and frankly, the Republicans should be ashamed.

A reminder: the GWBush Admin built a prison at Gitmo not because of its size or facilities, but on the theory that because it was not in the US, US laws would not apply, and because US didn't recognize Cuban sovereignty over it Cuban law didn't either. It's a stateless, lawless zone of impunity.

Egg prices are insane and Trader Joe’s fully ran out of eggs today — that’s like just one thing to even mention. God this party sucks.

If you’re wondering why Elon Musk, Zuckerberg, etc. are particularly unbearable around Trump, it’s because he absolutely triggers their 80s/90s-era trauma of being unpopular nerds and they’re debasing themselves to fit in again. Millennials understand this behavior even though it’s the cringiest.

“I hate Hollywood. Let it burn,” say the people who consume what we create daily, laugh at the jokes we write, quote lines with their friends, count the minutes for the return of their favorite series, excitedly share trailers, and will spend the entire weekend watching movies and TV.

What if movie theaters started showing movies at like 8:30, so parents don’t have to miss bedtime OR get 5 hours of a sleep at night? Just a desperate thought from a parent who likes movies.

I sort of was hoping Bluesky was less like Twitter and more like an empty void where I could be free of all social media. Like maybe with a funny meme or two, but mostly void.
