GND Hef is almost a template for Trumps decline.

Except STDs really were Hef's Vietnam, and no one ever gave him the keys to the nuke arsenal.

Oh, and Hef probably knows a lot more foreign policy.

Girls Next door is this amazing Shakespearean tragedy of a dying man loosing hold on his empire, attended by his three beautiful daughters.

Except fo course they aren't his daughters, they are 3 women 50 years younger, who have sex with him, live in his house & are subject to his will.

Holly and Bridget are not trying to destroy the patriarchy, but they reach a point where they have too much respect to put up with this.

I genuinely think that the podcast by the former Girls Next Door (girlfriends of Hugh Hefner) is something of a template for where ex Trump women will wind up.

At a certain point you are being humped by a deranged elderly man, and the rewards no longer out weigh the cringe.

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

We are lucky, then, that this alternate reality is unimaginable. There is no apparent evidence that Trump is capable of even the slightest bit of deferred gratification. If life is a series of marshmallow tests, then he has failed one after the other, kept afloat only by his immense wealth and privilege. The actual Trump is so solipsistic, so plainly consumed with narcissism, so deeply indifferent to the details of governance and so eager to satisfy his basest impulses that there was little chance he’d ever complete the authoritarian consolidation of his dreams.

Call me a hater, but as "get out of debt" side hustle advice goes, "start an only fans" is not great advice for most people.

That really only applies of you are of certain demographics and inclinations.

Unless someone wants to pay me a shit ton to sit in a bathrobe and bitch about fanfic.

I am no expert, but she's bright, under 50, and has amazing instincts.

I am happy however it goes down

I love AG Warren but she will be 78. No one over 75 needs this kind of full.time stress job.

Let her be a freelance terror.

A Castro would be excellent in many positions.

My lone objection is that Warren is 76. Which is just too old to be Veep.

I would make her a "financial ambassador" and let her torture CEOs.

Pick someone under 60. Even better under 50.

we are weeks away from 'Trump attempts to make horse a Senator' and the only thing stopping him is that he is too much of a sociopath to form an attachment to animals

Pentagon Metro is -dead-. Nothing but commuters. Usually you spot some uniform wearing troops on the commute, but none.

Weird.

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music

Several dozen folks did

Some even dubbed music over the original clip.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head.

So I give you

It's time for Democrats to stop focusing on issues that only elites care about, like unemployment and the price of gas, and start talking about things that matter to regular Americans, like Black mermaids and the genders of the characters on Paw Patrol.

This was a very bad gif choice. Dean Peltin would be absolutely into it until Malfoy started talking.

Dean of a third tier community college in Colorado? That's lower than a house elf. Unless of course you are into that...

Judgement also altered by the fact that in the eyes of 1995 American teen, all these assholes would be gay and or European. Or both.

Look at those dresses the men wear, and rhe long hair....

This did make the later reveal that Snape had been a Death Eater and in love with Lily Evans slightly awkward.

"Maybe he's bi?" asked Harry, with all the sexual knowldge of an isolated 15 year old boy. In 1995.

Who only learned things from his dorm mates and the Gryffinfor magazine collection.
