Whaaaaat?
Whaaaaat?
Weekend at Donnie's
Wanker
He had a massive stroke. Calling it now.
My six-month old puppy went to a Labor Day protest today.
Elvis has left the West Wing
Visualize, sure, but then the time it takes makes it look like failure to follow through within an election cycle. Again, why can't the ones being closed be reopened?
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

It takes years to build a new hospital. Why can't the existing ones be reopened?
it literally could have already happened and we just don't know yet

They're trying to speed-bloat Barron.
They were brought there against their will. They should be allowed to leave.
I don't want the rabies vaccine to give me dog autism.

This is a Stargate reboot I would watch.
It's one of the most famous rock songs ever — Bohemian Rhapsody — and now, for the first time, it's been translated with Queen's blessing into Zulu.
If you're ever in Poland try the pork burger at McD. It's fantastic and Americans are missing out.

Why haven't we quarantined Russia on the Internet yet?
Breaking : A suspected Russian interference attack targeting the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, disabled GPS navigation services at a Bulgarian airport and forced the commission president’s plane to land using paper maps
🚨Denmark has summoned the U.S. envoy after reports tied Trump-linked operatives to covert influence in Greenland. The clash raises NATO tensions, threatens Arctic sovereignty, and spotlights a brewing fight over security, resources, and U.S. credibility. open.substack.com/pub/theintel...
Blue sky died for your skeets. Therefore you must skeet, as often and as poorly as possible. Otherwise Blue sky died for nothing.
OMG, if you need your kid call the school. We survived the 80s just fine. You do not need their input on what to make for dinner, or whatever, and they need a break from you to learn how to be independent adults.
The best phone I had, before everything got smart, was an Ericsson T-28. It was better than the Motorola RAZR. Tiny, fit great in a hip pocket, good audio quality, battery life for over a week, flip plate to cover the keypad while pocketed. About as big as a credit card and only a few times thicker.
Wait... If there is no Palestinian State, how are there Palestinian passports?
⚠️ US suspends visas for ALL Palestinian passport holders “The new measures affect visas for medical treatment, university studies, visits to friends or relatives and business travel, at least temporarily.” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
What's an AI powered city? Do they use the heat from the servers to heat the homes?
This enormously pernicious and no one should still be on Substack - not just because of the Nazis, but for sheer practical business reasons.

He failed to pay a hooker and got run off the road by her pimp.

Or what? I mean, what recourse do judges have for government non-compliance?
Why would you be opposed to domestic violence when it gets the dinner on the table on time and makes kids compliant.

Instagram influencer Adventorin goes viral after demonstrating how simple it is to climb over the U.S. Border Wall.
Oh shit. Trump might outlive us all.
Why are these victims not telling their stories to the press, or just screaming from rooftops?
So basically you are qualified to lead the HHS
Signing a tweet "President DJT" is like a kid bringing a note excusing him from a test signed "Billy's mom" to school.
Good head cheese is something to appreciate. Broader use of aspic was, I think, mostly about presentation. Sort of like clear acrylic furniture.
There was also leaded gasoline.
Any reason is a good one for cutting people off. If they are detrimental to you, you owe it to yourself. Don't be an ass about it and don't be flighty, but seriously, you do not owe your presence and time to anyone who is causing you genuine pain.
Sources saying they saw JD Vance squeezing into President Trump’s skin before leaving for today’s golf outing
Such a surprise
No spite intended, but RFK Jr looks and sounds like there's something quite wrong with him, and that's without knowing about the parasitic worm that ate part of his brain.
Happy Labor Day to all, regardless. Hope springs eternal and time marches on.
Teen Vogue is an excellent resource for kids.
ICE raided a DC high school football game. ICE RAIDED A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME.
With the devil, maybe.
There are studies that show prayers have an effect even if the person being prayed for has no idea. Thoughts and prayers.
We did, because Jimmy Fallon tousled it. That pandering fucker. It's a lame comb-over. Like a sideways convertible top.
Every immigrant should be given the option to appear by video until ICE thugs stop arresting people who show up at their immigration court hearings
It's the tortoise and hare story all over again. US capitalism focusing on short-term profits, min-maxing for it, is suicidal.
NOBODY likes JD Vance.
The heart wants what it wants
But wait. It's even better on live TV.
This is why I brought my attorney to my citizenship interview, and why she voluntarily attended the swearing in ceremony. Just in case. But most people can't just spend that kind of money on what, in my case, didn't happen.

I think your usage of the comma answered the question already answered by the absence of the comma in the OP. :)
How does making the homeless even more homeless help anyone?
Shrimp-man, shrimp-man, does whatever a shrimp can, feeds a whale any size, sees sixteen colors with it's creepy eyes. Look out here comes the shrimp-man!
What a shame. "WGBH … has laid off the 13 people who worked on the history series 'American Experience' and announced that no new documentaries will be produced for the show until further notice." (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/a...
A brave whistleblower revealed that DOGE stole the American people's Social Security data. The Trump administration forcibly removed him. This is illegal.
Trump and Dr. Oz want AI to decide which Medicare patients get care—and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong. Tell Congress to intervene NOW:
Good.
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
Should have stuck to Kool-Aid, like a proper cultist.
HORROR: ICE agents violently tore a child from her father’s arms while he was being ARRESTED — for simply trying to RENEW his legal documents. This is state-sanctioned abuse. The media won’t show you. That’s by design. Share it. Expose it. Don’t let them bury it.
Ras Ras Rasputin!
oh dang we're bringing back Court Astrologer Has Influence Over Army Magistrate stories that's a throwback
Some critics say that America's rapid decent into fascism is unfortunate.
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
Major update: As of this morning, CVS says it's decided it can offer the vax in 13 of the 16 states IF you get a prescription. Still a big new barrier for many people, but a change from its "no vaccines at all in these states" position yesterday. The three remaining absolute-nos are MA, NV and NM.
But that would require a dictatorial level of political will backed by a populist surge of support - only in a direction opposite to what we're seeing now.
Governments across the globe
"Ihre Papiere, bitte, schnell!
I truly think this was a phrasing issue. Affordable healthcare. Though in principle I agree with you, that healthcare should be a right and tax-funded (mostly by billionaires and corporate tax rates going up). But affordable healthcare is an improvement on what we have now.
Agreed. I suspect the strategy is to keep the poor poor and worried about the immediate and thus less likely to take the day off to vote, organize, etc. Fighting each other instead of their oppressor.
Old and busted: sobriety checkpoint New hotness: mandatory blood donation checkpoint
This is a really bad sign - signals a desire to start prosecuting academics and/or university administrators for political speech
Our client, Mohsen Mahdawi, just finished his citizenship interview when ICE arrested him in retaliation for his pro-Palestinian activism. Now, the government is asking an appeals court to re-detain him for no other reason than his speech. We won’t back down from protecting our right to dissent.
EFFICIENCY
So.... 1)The state of Florida spent >$200 million to build the facility it calls "Alligator Alcatraz" 2) It opened in early July, christened by Trump. 3) Now it is closing, due to a judge's order. 4) It will cost $20 million to dismantle the center, which was used for about 2 months.
A century to build the expert civil service, a few months to burn it down for generations
I can HEAR it.
Artists COULD write songs about politicians that make them look bad. Does name dropping in a song require some sort of permission, or does being a public figure make that a non-issue?
I thought she was dead, but it's actually worse.
Back in 2020, YouTube suspended OAN's channel, demonetized it, and noted it was not an "authoritative" source. Now, five years later, the Google-owned platform has inked a deal to put the MAGA propaganda network in millions of living rooms. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/youtube-oa...
Seems silly to argue Dems don't win because of what they say, while Reps keep winning regardless of what they say. Maybe we need to admit that there are way many people who like their actions, and that we're fewer in number, or being actively thwarted in turning out in numbers.

Here's what the third day of elementary school looked like in Mount Pleasant, Washington DC.
instead of passing a privacy law, reforming our systems, empowering regulators, and holding people/courts/companies accountable, we elected a clown who defanged the FCC, CISA, and the CSRB again, how would a foreign effort to destroy the United States from within look any different?
Trump is canceling a wind energy project that's 80% complete while electricity prices spike, flushing potentially billions in investment down the toilet for no reason. The stupidity of this action is glaring, @ryanlcooper.com writes: prospect.org/environment/...
Lisa Cook is ALLEGED to have committed crimes by a man who was CONVICTED of 34 felonies. Due process matters. A country based on the rule of law that attracts foreign capital because of that promise should be steadfast in opposition to her termination.
Rapists and molesters.
