To a ship that has reportedly already sailed
Sorry, but that cat was last seen out of the bag while riding a horse out of the barn on a train that left the station.
Bar 3 of a pub crawl. Hit the pizza place, the Holland America lodge, now at a place called Karstens.

Lord save us: "Paramount is on the verge of acquiring Bari Weiss’s The Free Press and tossing her the keys to CBS News. The deal is on the 1-yard line, I’m told."
Prominent far-right influencers have been attempting to rehabilitate Hitler's reputation. That's not an exaggeration; it's easily documented. I wrote about why they are doing this, what they hope to gain, and what it means for America.
The black hole of disinformation and bullshit continues to suck in huge portions of the US. Rabies is spreading in the US. One reason is that many people are not vaccinating their dogs. Why? Many actually believe rabies vaccinations will make their dogs autistic.
I am calm. I am breathing deeply through my nose. I am counting to ten. I… WHAT, ARE YOU AFRAID YOUR DOG WILL INFODUMP TO YOU ABOUT THE FUCKING BALL?!?
There's nothing chaotic about the race! The runaway winner of the Democratic primary has a comfortable ongoing lead in the polls! The only chaotic element is the mind-traffic of the small circle of self-appointed civic elites melting down over their refusal to accept a straightforward situation.
“Late last year, David Shor, one of the Democratic Party’s top data scientists, surveyed some 130,000 voters about whether they had a “favorable” or “unfavorable” opinion of Jewish people. Hardly anyone over the age of 70 said their view was unfavorable. More than a quarter of those under 25 did.”
Referring to his plan to "liberate Chicago" by sending armed members of the military there against the wishes of the Governor, Mayor, and people of Chicago as a "blitz" isn't creepy at all!
Ya the experience of scrolling through Bluesky for the first time every morning is pretty bonkers. Just a deluge of insane stories of how Trump and the GOP are wrecking everything good about America because they hate it so much. Every hour of every day the wrecking ball bouncing around.
Bloc forming!!
Federal agents are already practicing for early morning raids in and around Chicago, per a memo obtained by @suntimes.bsky.social's @vimiller.bsky.social chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdog...

Nigel Farage called a ‘Putin-loving free speech impostor’ during bumpy US congressional hearing
Holy shit: Stateline spoke to nearly a dozen firefighters, agency staffers and contractors, who said that top officials assigned to the fire deployed the crews to a remote location under false pretenses so federal agents could check their immigration status. www.hcn.org/articles/fir...
🚨NEW: Declarations filed in the lawsuit against the rushed attempt to deport 600 Guatemalan children reveals the chaotic way the Trump admin carried out the operation. Children were taken out of bed after midnight to be rushed onto planes. One girl "was so scared she vomited."
if you send four cap’n crunch box tops to cap’n crunch headquarters as proof of purchase they will send you a new roof for your mouth
Today’s news confirms it: Cuomo is Trump’s choice for Mayor. The White House is considering jobs for Adams and Sliwa to clear the field. New Yorkers are sick of corrupt politics and backroom deals. No matter who’s running, we will deliver a better future on November 4.
Yes. This. You may not like the idea of it, and that's fine, but appeasement and unilateral disarmament get you killed. By Nazis.

reminder that as trump looks to expand his terror to other cities, shit is still very much going down in LA
I mean why even have a bulkhead?
Do you not also have a childhood friend who has worked for or adjacent to this crown jewel of a national park system for a couple of decades? We should scale this.

Warms my heart
Trump just asked about rumors that he was dead, and he claims that he didn't hear anything about it. He doesn't look amused.
sir his mute fortifications are impenetrable. he has no idea there was a discourse and he’s in there laughing about something instead
1776: lawyers and farmers 1792: lawyers and peasants 1848: lawyers and merchants 1917: lawyers and murder poets and a guy who called himself joey steel 1960s: lawyers and students it’s lawyers all the way down.

after over one gregorian calendar year they have finally arrested the shitbag who hit me and my dog and gave me 17 breaks + two surgeries + lifelong mobility injuries, put me in a wheelchair for six months, and left me partially paralyzed :)
Perfect encapsulation of the Trump administration: The guy suing Harvard for alleged antisemitism is a straight-up Hitler-admiring Nazi. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/02/m...
Birth rates are lowering *literally everywhere.* The only countries which keep growing in power will be the ones which continue to grow, and without immigration that will not be “the West.”
i looked up when i went out to get firewood
the room seeming almost supernaturally quiet after these orgies, I began to congratulate myself
President Donald Trump went into a long and confused rant about "crazy" women who spit on "good-looking" men while describing his plan for expanding the use of state mental institutions to lock up homeless people.
That day you leave on the calendar even though you 99% plan to call in.

If it wasn’t for today “the weekend” would just be known as “the days you also work”
That train’s never late
It's really funny to have a president whose late in life desires seem to be 1) finding a way to get to heaven and 2) getting to use a nuclear bomb
Did scotus give all american corporations some new right to screw us?
If everyone thought I was dead I'd probably hop on TV asap to correct those rumors but I'd probably also publish a known list of pedophiles to show that I'm not actually on it
Bill Belichick thinks 48-14 is unacceptable. Lucky for him the teams didn’t score one more touchdown each because 55-21 would be a healthy adult relationship.
Haven't seen someone from Massachusetts lose to Texas Christians since John Kerry

This is a fun tool and you should play around with it to see how your income would stack up in other parts of the world. I think people do not grasp how diverse incomes really are between countries.

Miller, Vance, Rubio, and Hegseth rn:
I think his cabinet is physically incapable of invoking the 25th Amendment, because they’d kill each other over who gets to run what.
I mean Richard Hanania is right about the GOP and its voters getting crazier and pushing out the "normies" in the next couple years, especially after Trump.
*stares into the distance for several minutes*
bold of UNC to hire a first-time college head coach but maybe they should have brought in somebody with more experience to help them cut down on simple mistakes and maintain discipline
You just hope that this won't in any way dampen the unparalleled effervescence and swashbuckling, glint-in-the-eye panache that Bill Belichick has always brought to his duties
for what it’s worth Bill’s worst loss with the Patriots had a final score of 38-3
Everyone knows Bill Belichick just went down to coach UNC so he could pick up college chicks.
Bill Belichick right now:

I have an opinion piece in the New York Times today on how the labor movement has failed to step up to the moment in countering Trump, even as Trump unilaterally strips public sector workers of collective bargaining. Labor will die as a movement if this continues. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Government has absorbed, correctly, that there is a conscious project to roll back a half century of making Englishness and Britishness identities based on more than ethnicity, but has no plan beyond going 'I too like flags' to defend it.
So much of Covid revisionism conveniently leaves out which party was in power during early 2020 when the actual Covid pandemic started.
One good thing happened today: Texas’ biggest expansion of medical cannabis access ever. More Texans can now find relief through the Compassionate Use Program, which involves consultation with excellent doctors. As medical marijuana license holder, I highly recommend it. texascannabisclinic.com
