Scared maybe?

Why can’t billionaires just go somewhere and chill? Do something easy. Stop fucking with everything.

If I were a billionaire (I wouldn’t be bc I’d give a ton away), but if I were, I’d just go somewhere and snorkel and take photos and write my book. Have picnics.

Can I call djt “the future plot at Bedminster”?

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

Because that’s how feelings work

Communication is so important in parenting

Literally cannot see Rand Paul without thinking of lawnmowers

Who’s a Better Writer: A.I. or Humans? Take Our Quiz. (Gift Article) A.I. chatbots contain the sum of all human knowledge. That can make them pretty good writers.

The New York Times published a quiz to see if people prefer AI writing to human writing.

The flaw in this experiment? "We asked A.I. to choose an existing piece of strong writing"

They asked AI to pick the passages to rewrite.

You know how Trump wanted to send our military into our cities, even though that is not their job? Can we send ICE/CBP to Iran even though that is not their job?

No, I wasn’t trying to type, “What a dock,” Siri.

If he ever set up a draft, he’d probably make the college kids go first.

They do know where Mar-a-Lago is, right?

Reporter: You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war. But you're the only person in your government saying this. Why?

Trump: Because I just don't know enough about it.

“if they can behave”

just, gross

Reminds me of the witness statement against him in the Epstein files.

My dad said stuff like, “there are people running around with knives upstairs, and they want to kill me” around stage 5 Alzheimer’s. But we didn’t send lethal forces “upstairs,” like Hegseth et al are doing

How do you not catch your children’s moods?

My 17yo son had a crappy day at school and went straight to his room, all morose & sad, and I have such a hard time not feeling the same—which doesn’t help anyone

If anyone knows the (or an) answer, please share.

if only someone in Trump’s childhood had yelled “That’s not yours!” at him

This is an escalation by DHS.

Six US Citizens and permanent residents are now home after being held over 30 hours at O’Hare, transferred to Broadview, and moved across state lines.

Community pressure got them home. So many more do not have that support.

Just killed a man's whole family and accidentally installed him as leader of Iran. We created Super Vengeance Boy and are just assuming he'll leave us alone.

If I didn’t know better, I would think he’s talking about the last election.

No, they are terrified. There’s a difference between respect and terror. This is more like if your neighbor started putting giant metal drums in their front yard, and digging holes in the middle of the night, while watching Teletubbies

I never thought I'd shout "fuck you" to someone denigrating Thomas Massie.

Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.

The U.S. spent 20 years and trillions of dollars replacing the Taliban with the Taliban. Trump replaced Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei in just 9 days.

The most efficient U.S. president ever.

WTF, YOU GUYS!? - Randy Rainbow Song Parody (NSFW) YouTube video by Randy Rainbow

@randyrainbow.bsky.social, can you do a new video “What the Absolute Fuck, You Guys?”

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

What the absolute fuck.
