I do research on the history and philosophy of mathematics in the Early Modern period.

The Rays are the most pathetic excuse for a World Series team in the history of baseball. They should do the honorable thing and forfeit game 4.

I predict that the death of Donald Trump will be the most widely and intensely celebrated event in human history. Literally billions of people across the globe will take to the streets in joyful celebration.

Today I saw young woman engage with a Cybertruck in the most beautiful manner: as the hideous machine rolled through a crosswalk, she pointed to the driver, slapped the “Loser L” gesture on her forehead, and gave the driver a double thumbs up as she sneered.

The USA must never again be allowed to have anything to do with the World Cup. Between FIFA, Trump, and the tacky “entertainment” the enshitification of the tournament is complete.

The Democratic presidential debates need to have spring loaded traps underneath each candidate and any time one of them says "we need to move on" or "I'm focused on the future, not the past" they should be immediately launched through the roof of the auditorium.

The Norwegian Football Association donated all proceeds and ticket revenues (totaling over $350,000) from their World Cup qualifying match against Israel to Doctors Without Borders for humanitarian aid in Gaza. Guess which team I’m rooting for . . .

After Infantino’s intercession at Trump’s behest, the USMNT had better lose against Belgium. A US “win” would make an even greater mockery of this festering turd of a tournament.

Today we remember that more than 70% of the signers of the Declaration of Independence owned slaves. From this fact, we may justly conclude that the rhetoric of universal rights contained in their document is a bunch of cynical bullshit.

“To no one’s surprise, the Democrats and their socialist allies botched America’s 250th anniversary with a so-called celebration that absolutely no one showed up for,” said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

Amazing how many Democrats think that ICE needs “reform.” Fools like that probably think that the problem with Stalin’s NKVD and Hitler’s Gestapo was a lack of proper training. ICE must be abolished and everyone who “served” there should be sent to prison.

Stop calling us Gestapo! If you keepit up, we’re gonna kill you all!

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

If Trump is on a secret mission to get all political factions in the EU (and the U.K.) to unite in opposition to the US, to stand up for themselves and to think rationally about how to adapt to the “Chinese century” he’s really killing it.

Face it. ICE HAS ALIENATED AMERICANS by slamming their victims faces into the ground, wearing mask, not identifying themselves and using aggressive “Gestapo” tactics on immigrants & citizens alike. Americans are resisting, as they should. It is time to defund ICE! Repost if you agree. #BlueCrew

Pastor: I saw ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic. I said, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The next thing I knew, they put handcuffs on me and put me in the back of an SUV. I asked if I was under arrest. They said to me, 'Well, you're white, you won't be any fun anyway.'

The media (and everyone else) need to stop referring to ICE as "law enforcement". They are out to perform "ethnic cleansing" and to terrorize the population. There is nothing "lawful" about it.

I have long held that Trump’s policy on public assistance like SNAP benefits could be summarized in the slogan “Fuck the kids.” The Epstein files show that the slogan is to be taken more literally.

I'm pleased to announce that Olive Garden has awarded me a Michelin star for my culinary innovation and steadfast commitment to haute cuisine. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I look forward to the day when the severed head of John Roberts is mounted on a pike and paraded through the streets of the capital as cheering crowds revel in the spectacle.

I’m cynical enough by now to think that nothing in the Epstein files will move the needle on Trump’s approval. I expect Melania will dismiss it as “locker room talk” and then the NY Times will bothsides it all away.

Now that Trump is well on the way to transforming the White House in to a Temu Versailles, can we have a discussion about the aesthetics of absolutist interior design and its role in establishing despotic power?

I live in Chicago and can state with certainty that the biggest crime problem here is armed gangs of masked thugs roaming the city. They beat people up, abduct them, and act with impunity. May they all be brought to justice!

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!
