Being deported and jailed there forever sure is a tension
Trump is the first president to walk around in state at the White House
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
Club Casino?
You had me at "I saw the Beatles"
Ouch my ears, Ministry was the loudest band I've ever been subjected to, but they rocked so hard
My crappy band sharing a new band night with The Pixies
I remember you singing this song with R.E.M. live just after the Black Monday Wall Street crash of 1987 and it felt so right. Great show, Providence RI, 10000 Maniacs opened. I was wearing a flannel shirt, I waved but you were in the zone
Satan, Satan, thought up a plan Dressed as a man Walking the earth and since he began The world is hell for you and me But what a heaven it will be When that man is dead and gone
Tom Hanks got cast in the same movie as his son, weird coincidence
Some people say, don't pay the ferryman, don't even fix a price until he gets you to the other side
And they say "Acch!" when you punch them
Expect it in, oh, let's say, two weeks
DId I miss something?
Exactly, "the tariffs were killed before they could have a positive effect on the economy." This thought had me tossing and turning this morning. I want my schadenfreude.
Of course they caught him, he was being more closely supervised than actual priests
The oxymoron potential is off the charts
Wait til RFK Jr. finds out about midichlorians
Sorry Ringo
I read LOTR at age 12, and it was a cracking good adventure story. I picked it up again in my 30s, and it was about how people respond to the temptation of absolute power. Re-reading it now for probably the last time and it's about preserving a beautiful world for others to enjoy after you're gone.
Meanwhile absolutely no one is talking about low midichlorian levels
If Pericles was the only surviving play by Shakespeare, it would be like if Octopus's Garden was the only surviving Beatles song

[Walking out of a performance of Pericles]: Nice play, Shakespeare
Bluesky is jumping claims on this joke like Sutter's Mill in 1849
I've never been to a Cracker Barrel. How does he breathe in there
I am thinking this thought to you, dear reader, so that you may appreciate my scheme, which is analagous to the way birds navigate. Please hold still while I fill you with radiation
Why go to Mars when Earth will also be a lifeless, dust-shrouded desert in a few decades? I say don't go to Mars, let Mars come to you.
Please do more puff pieces on the people dismantling our democracy in real time, I love it
Horrible. Mom with decades-old pot charge seized at airport returning from family vacation. Held in a men's detention center. No access to medication or legal rep. Dumped out on a rainy street 10 days later with no cell phone in an unfamiliar city. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/25/m...
"Don't think RFK Jr and Hegseth are fit for office? Think again!"
Just the other day as I was watching RFK Jr decimate funding for research into the neurodegenerative disease that has condemned me to a slow, agonizing death, I thought, I could really use some insight into Jillian Michaels' long journey from New Age quackery into MAHA quackery
This time the bear eats them
That five o'clock shadow cost him heavily in the televised debate against Jetson
Having masked thugs smash car windows and drag the occupants into a van seems to require a descriptor stronger than "talking points", but you do you, NYT
The nicest thing he’s ever done for America
Stephen Miller has really let himself go
This man advocated corporal punishment for children. His mother had whipped him with her girdle but I'm totally sure that never manifested itself in acts of sexualized violence against children as an adult, he seems like a pretty well-adjusted guy
Scampi Man, Scampi Man, does whatever a gulf shrimp can
"You know the annoying thing is, why didn't they hold on to this guy when they're taking his picture? 'No, we don't do it that way. We take their picture and we let them go. That's how we get the front and side shot. The front is his face. The side is him leaving.'" -- Jerry Seinfeld

Read all about it in the Sunday papers
The man is a void that nothing will fill
Their resilience and adaptability are remarkable, but more than that, they are so, so cute

Forensics experts have determined that it was not a knuckle sandwich
How do you gerrymander a state with one congressional district?
Yes, heroic Mike Flood
"Bosco. Bosco!"
"Bosco"
I'm sorry, that is a really unfortunate likeness of Dr. KIng. "Hey, let's literally make one of his shoes big because he once said he had big shoes to fill." "And give him a bigger head too so we can see it better." "And bulk up that left arm because books are heavy."
The greatest movie never made
Sorry, she doesn't own a yacht. And she walks her own dog. I used to see her sometimes in Cambridge.
This is Karen Dershowitz. Put Martha on the line
Somewhere, a dog was barking.
Little known bylaw: shopping malls, office parks, and subdivisions must always be named after the natural feature they obliterated
"It took on even more prominence after Zohran Mamdani, who has drawn criticism for his remarks about the police..." Yes, criticizing the police = handing out guns to teenagers
This is a way for the groom to signal to other males that he's in charge -- it sickens me
No soup for you. Next!
"Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me - and I welcome their hatred." -- FDR, 1936
Karen Dershowitz: I want to speak to Martha

Harlan once recounted an anecdote in which he was invited to take a meeting with an unnamed Hollywood producer who had a brilliant idea to run by Harlan. His idea? "Let's do 'The Wiz', but white!"
Famous for its giant orange dinosaur. The mini golf place is closed but the dinosaur was saved.
My daughter loved Story Land. It has a handmade feel, no licenced characters, and lots of tot-friendly play areas.
Karen Dershowitz wants to talk to Martha
I could definitely pass the presidential fitness test, if it's this president
This is why conservatives are never funny
Those kids are colossal
Gorgeous tabico
I start every day knowing it could easily be the best day of the rest of my life. A perverse gift of having a progressive illness. Every day is to be seized.
Here’s why that’s a problem for Democrats
It's exciting to think that some of the icy moons of the outer planets may have subsurface oceans with similar conditions for life.
Being pantsed should forever be a part of the disbarral process
Quiet, you're putting the bass down
So we're inventing soul-crushing jobs for other species now
I organized a support group for procrastinators and I'll tell you the rest of the joke later
"Nookie" by Limp Bizkit. I start to vomit just spelling out the band's name
Stop spreading fake photos, our side doesn't do that stuff.
His name must be Quadrateeny

That soundtrack though, fantastic and ahead of its time

Pre-Simpsons Matt Groening walked into the bookstore where I worked and offered to autograph our copies of Work Is Hell and School Is Hell, which I loved. I had him autograph one for me and he also drew Binky on the inside cover. I still have it.
Fun fact: Trump was the inspiration for Ida Know and Not Me in the Family Circus
Raising children is expensive — I perhaps people are choosing a higher standard of living over having multiple children.
The Car Talk guys recommended putting a piece of black electrical tape over it. Problem solved!
