I wonder if noted "historian" and Trump friend Newt Gingrich is lobbying for the position?

Sure do wish they could have rerouted that food cart stowaway to Honduras. Or Venezuela. Or Cuba.

Progress in my filed? We're not off to a good start.

Sentences I never imagined seeing...

Huh? What? Seriously? My first thought was, "You must be joking!"

Beloved sheriff of color erects toll booth in desert.

"Depression and acceptance await." What do depression and acceptance look like, if not like the anger and bargaining we've already seen? How can we tell the difference between acceptance and yet another round of bargaining? @radiofreetom.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I would forward this to the Yale grads I know, but like so many Yale grads, they support Trump. Not sure how they would vote in Trump v. Yale, but it's not worth finding out. #DontCaveYale

I am Larry. Shut up if you don't like my hole.

Children of a Special* God * He hates those who need mercy and compassion and love and empathy.

Wow... Just amazing. Intelligence must have looked into Tulsi's background. Did they miss this? Or did Trump give her top clearance anyway? From WaPo: Tulsi Gabbard, her guru and the mysterious messages that helped shape her political career www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

The relatively low cost of basic science compared to the incredible payoffs we get from it never ceases to amaze me. The stupidity of those who would end that research, on the other hand, is perpetually baffling. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/20/o...

The biggest surrender flag in history! Nobody's ever seen anything like it! Big strong men, with tears in their eyes, say "Sir, nobody has ever surrendered like you! Even Hitler didn't surrender like you did, sir! Yours was the biggest surrender in history!"

I grew up at a time when everybody knew instinctively that people of color were inferior.

45470 is the White House mental status hotline. When you text "POTUS" to 45470, it will reply with awake, alert, sleeping, nodding off, drooling, texting, dreaming, sleepwalking, soiling his pants, taking a mental acuity test, ending a war, demanding praise, accepting praise, or simply catatonic.

My new band is called "The Anecdote." We're worse than The Cure.

Velella velella, a strange colonial hydrozoan. Millions of them washed ashore this week around Morro Bay, California. This is the northern hemisphere version - the sail relative to the main axis is at an angle of about 30 degrees. In the southern hemisphere, the angle would be about -30 degrees.

Any word on why NYT seems to have shuttered comments on all articles?

From a friend in Dubai: The Address Hotel in Dubai Creek Harbor was hit by a bomb this morning at 2:30am. No word on damage, but it would appear that Iran's drone/missile capability has not been destroyed, as our President Stupid says.

Trump says the worst case is that we get a new leader and they might be just as bad as the one before. I agree: JD is likely to be just as bad, and number three is Mike Johnson... It's just dumbshits, all the way down.

Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force. Danish Defense Minister: Continue.

Breaking: Trump has just been awarded the inaugural FIFA War Prize.

My friend in Dubai: Iranian bombs were dropping on the city yesterday (Feb 28 in Dubai), but not today (March 1 in Dubai).

‪ What fresh hell is this? I open an alibaba link in Edge and get a popup that says, "www.alibaba.com wants to look for and connect to any device on your local network" 1. Why would alibaba need to do this? 2. Why is Edge even asking me if this is okay? It's NEVER okay!

So, Noam Chomsky is in the Epstein files, and I wondered about Deepak Chopra. I don't know if he's in the files, but he tried to meet 16 year old Sevda Rubens late at night. She didn't go. "Male gurus are a construct. Smart girls are real," she wrote later. americanbazaaronline.com/2026/02/07/i...

Anyone who watches Aliya Rahman's testimony today and isn't consumed by a desire to turture Stephen Miller is completely lacking in empathy.

I know people today who say, "I didn't vote for *this*!" But they *did* vote for it, they just didn't imagine this level of evil. Without acknowledging their own complicity and culpability, they are in effect saying, "I voted for the evil, but not this much evil." They still voted for evil.

The Board of Peace has unveiled their inaugural Annual International Peace Prize, to be given in perpetuity to Donald J. Trump, for his contributions to the redefinition of "Peace."

Lessons from watching TV: every problem in the world can be solved for just $19.95 per month. That's just 63 cents per day to end racism, cancer, childhood disease, animal abuse, hunger, homelessness, birth defects, addiction, and mental illness. How are any of these things still problems?
