So, I'm watching Gilmore Girls for the first time. Was happy to see Edward Herrmann in it. Looked up the series and saw that it premiered 25 years ago. Then, I realized Lost Boys was 13 years earlier than that. And now I'm eating my feelings in cheesecake.
This feels like a spot of good news www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...
Can we make a flag for the Constitution? I’d rather fly that than the now-tainted Stars and Stripes.
I hope you put up a snarky ass pop-up message for anyone in Mississippi that tries to log on to the app. And point them to VPN procedures.
I like to think that true evil doers who die go to the Pearly Gates for their life’s review. At the end, when they’re withered with regret, they are told that their soul is condemned to be destroyed and that soul’s energy will be returned to the universe. In other news, James Dobson died today.
"Why don't museums talk about the good side of slavery! Too woke! Those people got free rides across the Atlantic American Ocean! FREE! To the greatest country ever to ever! Became instant "citizens" as soon as they stepped on the block! They were taught how to farm properly and pick stuff! MAGA!"
Probably one reason they want voter rolls. Ideally, only Republicans would be able to receive mail-in ballots. Analyze the data and start carving out certain voters to be ineligible for mail-in. Too conspiracy? Granted, I've no idea how any of it works. But they are suppressing everywhere they can.
Yeah, this is a highly unusual all-hands-on-deck meeting that wouldn’t be happening if Alaska was productive. 5 European leaders, the head of NATO and the head of the EU don’t just drop everything and fly to DC. H/T: @radiofreetom.bsky.social
If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?
Can Trump just unilaterally agree to deals with Putin? Wouldn't Congress have to sign off on, say, handing Alaska to Putin?
Where’s a higher window when you need one?
Compared to the much older nations of Europe and Asia, the U.S. as a country is still a child, and Trump is of course raping it.
Literally trying to bribe Putin to end the war. That’s the only way Trump knows how to “negotiate”. His entire personal worldview is giving and receiving bribes.
The woman petitioning SCOTUS to overturn marriage equality in the name of the sanctity of marriage is on her fourth husband.
What we see happening in real time is actually part of Martial Law. Oh, it hasn’t been officially declared, but his federal takeover plans for cities across the nation…under the cloak of “attacking crime,” is pre-positioning for when he does. It will happen prior to the November elections. Watch.
As we mark the 80th anniversary of WWII's end, I’ve come to believe that in losing that Greatest Generation, we are losing more than just the memories of combat. We are losing the memory and experience of what it means to fight fascism and authoritarianism. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/what-we-lo...
heads up -- this is very well done. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...
Everyday feels like eating a shit sandwich. But at least we're on the verge of pumpkin spice shit sandwiches.
Why is my McDonald’s playing all Christian music (loudly) lately? I don’t want to listen to that shit. Oh well, I need to eat better anyway. No more of that crap.
He epitomizes what failing as a leader is. An actual leader would review the data and work to improve the situation, whereas Trump only prefers to cook the books and lie lie lie to make himself look better. That kind of “leadership” led to hundreds of thousands of dead Americans his first term.
If he happens to, you know, while over there, please save our taxpayer money and just roll his bloated orange carcass off the nearest cliff into the ocean. Bagpipes eulogy is welcome as you do.
Free taxpayer golf trips is def part of the stealing.
Sometimes I do a search for lists of 'Classic Literature in High School', because I have a desire to go back and actually read (and enjoy!) those books now that I'm allegedly more mature.
Wait, Tulsi vs Patel? Who to root for???
The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse. The president's job is to "faithfully execute" the decisions we've made and he has signed into law. He may not impound, redirect or confiscate money outside federal law.

This is why most experts have been saying that Iran could reconstitute their nuclear program in a matter of months. It’s also why it’s dangerous to declare victory before you know what you actually accomplished.
He already had one disgruntled psycho MAGA nut try to take him out (allegedly). He really want to disgruntle all of them? Secret Service is gonna have their hands full.
The vast majority of them aren’t even considering the possibility that Trump is on the list. They’re very confused (and angry) as to why the list isn’t being released all of a sudden. They’re wanting valid reasoning. Trump is throwing all kinds of crap against the wall to see what will stick.
My elderly dad developed swollen ankles like this a few years ago. We had his legs scanned. The valves in his arteries don't close all the way, so instead of functioning valves that push blood back up to the heart, the blood falls back to his lower legs. Has to constantly elevate them.
The Big Valley episode 'The Great Safe Robbery' has to be one of the greatest episodes of classic western tv ever made. Hollywood just doesn't make humor like that anymore. You can tell Barbara Stanwyck so enjoyed her character. #ClassicTV #TheBigValley #funny #WesternTV #BarbaraStanwyck
That I have a concern that Trump might launch a nuclear missile out of desperation or deranged anger to squash the threat of the Epstein story is a terrible indictment of where we're at in this once-great country.
So, at what point does the term ‘crimes against humanity’ come into play? Now or when a mass grave is discovered?
Hot day. Stopped at Sheetz to grab lunch. Little old lady knocked on my car window to ask if I had 50¢ so she could get a drink. Gave her the dollar in my pocket. Told her to stay hydrated, smiling towards Sheetz. She said, “Oh no, I’m going there,”pointing at the ABC store. Good deed ruined.
Timeline of Cuts and Consequences. “We are flying blind into the storm,” “We’ve disarmed ourselves against the very threats that are escalating.” #OpCanary #EndAutogenocide
There WAS and IS no COMPARISON.......
I wish someone would ai video generate the phantom zone mirror scene from Superman: The Movie, but with Trump, Vance and Bondi as the treacherous villains being exiled, and Biden being Jor-El.
Start ripping their fucking hoods off.
These horrific ICE plane rumors. I can't fathom them to be true. I'd guess the rumors have been intentionally released to scare illegals to voluntarily flee the country and prevent further ones arriving. Saying that, IF true, my god. EVERY participant should be subject to death penalty charges.
One problem with it is that it would apparently be SUPER easy for Russia (or another hostile nation) to psy-op control of the now-separated red states, take them over. And then we have Russia on our doorsteps looking to “Ukraine” their way north to Canadian border.
Mirrors nearly all social advancements as they become more and more visible to the general public. Unfortunately, those stats won’t save us or the institution. I’m afraid this corrupt administration and Supreme Court will walk the law back and hand that power back to the states a la Roe.
Thank you for your attention to this matter
Once again the Minnesota assassination has shown that the entire Republican Party has given itself over to a machine of lies and smears where no facts matter and being a troll is more important than leading. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...
Oh, please please please let someone refuse my 93-year-old widowed Democrat-voting veteran dad who served for 30 years.
Scientists Say We May Be the Last Generation to See Fireflies Flicker "Several interconnected causes are driving fireflies toward extinction: #habitatloss... #lightpollution... #pesticides... #climatechange..." www.mypunepulse.com/scientists-s...
Already difficult to trust law enforcement when the vast majority of them voted for and continue to enthusiastically support a felon and traitor in the White House. This won’t help that image. I fear we’re underestimating how compromised law enforcement and the military are.
Probably wants to Jack Ruby the guy so he won’t talk.
After 34 years, I was finally in the mood to watch ’Point Break’ with Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze. Worth the wait, I liked it! 🌊🏄
Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.
Shithole country getting shitholier.
If this works in people it would indeed be a game changer. This is the kind of payoff you get from decades of dedicated basic research. The kind that is currently being torn down by this administration.
That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.
💯 this
FIFY: “….the rest of your life, as short as it may be….”
We’re all gonna be dead in four years, aren’t we?
One side note of this TvE public breakup, if Elon is forced to leave the U.S., I think we'll finally have definitive answers as to how much Elon "influenced" the election.
Yikes
Only the best people...
I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.
Keep an eye out for symbology used by far right extremists. Fortunately for us, many extremist tools love to identify themselves to each other with such symbols with today's meaning. Keep your eyes peeled.
This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.
Early rumors are that up to 40 Russian strategic bombers were destroyed in one of the most audacious operations I’ve ever seen. Get fucked, Vlad.
He needn't worry. The ICE report will tell him that he hired all Venezuelan gang members. What a relief he'll feel knowing ICE saved him!
I'm old enough to remember Republicans' outrage over the made-up death panels.
Samesies! One of my all-time favorite comedy sketches. (I think Elon took it seriously.) youtu.be/sgfQ9o2-9BM?...
Of all the things that didn’t happen, this didn’t happen the most. TACO Trump chickened out because bond yields went vertical and he was about to destroy the US economy - not China’s. China found other trading partners to help insulate from Trump’s insanity - we haven’t.
I have it on mute. I’m gonna just pretend he’s jamming to some jazz.
RIP Peter David, prolific comic writer in the 90s / 00s. Loved his long Hulk run. But my favorite of his was the 2004 Madrox: Multiple Choice mini-series and subsequent X-Factor on-going series starring Jamie Madrox (Multiple Man), which reinvented the character as complex and uniquely powerful.
They need to stop playing nice. Working together is not part of the Project 2025 plot to overthrow our democracy.
Cover is originally from ‘Many Ghosts of Doctor Graves #56’, the first cover by Mike Zeck.
A Top 5 cover for me. Just brilliant and dynamic all around.
When will voters ever learn that the GOP is not the fiscally responsible party?
Full of shit
Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.
I feel so incredibly lucky that I’m in a place in my life that I’m able to live with and look after my elderly veteran father. Cherry on top, after voting Republican all his life, he’s begun voting Democrat and hates Trump.
America has officially jumped the shark.
I have zero doubt that if Trump feels that his popularity craters with the American people, he will go scorched earth vengeance on the country rather than address the issues that tanked him.
President Pritzker….just easily rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?
A big ol' FUCK YOU to Trump from Canada! Elbows up indeed! Love. It.
I’ve said it before but the old classic tv show The Big Valley is so underrated, overshadowed by contemporary westerns Gunsmoke and Bonanza. Barbara Stanwyck is her tough uncompromising iconic self, and young brooding Lee Majors is absolutely dreamy.
Interesting point. Wonder if the RFK Jr. association has influenced these organic farms politically. Gross. These guys’ honey website complains about “fake” honey products and businesses. Trump supporters always play the victim.
Curiously, the one nearest to me is this 🐝 honey making small family business. You’d think they’d be acutely aware of the environment and climate change issues and NOT side with Republicans’ anti-environmental policies. Crazy.
The website is PublicSq.com.
Jimmy Carter had to get rid of his peanut farm because it might look like he made an unseemly profit from being president. But Donald Trump is being allowed to shake down foreign countries to personally pay him protection money with his cryptocurrency to stave off his insane, illegal tariffs.
Is there a difference anymore between his bank accounts and our Treasury?
Fuck them, bunch of evil fetishers these days.
