Do you need a nice little cry? Here you go.

So we fly a pride flag in our front yard in a very conservative neighborhood and it’s been there for the last few years. Someone put this in our mailbox and my goodness…

Not going to tag him because he deserves to have a night off, but it's evident to me now that he is more or less my source of news. I refuse to watch cable news directly. I'll wait. For now though, let me suggest that you support independent journalism like www.publicnotice.co/subscribe

I can't imagine what the performers on stage are feeling. Did they ever think they would get to perform with Madonna? In a set for Like A Prayer no less! #coachella #madonna #sabrinacarpenter

Sabrina and Madonna!! Now I know why I love Sabrina so much. I never connected the dots before, but holy shit this is amazing. #coachella

If any committee ever gets around to examining Trump's mental fitness all they will need to do is play this interview in its entirety. Just question after question where he clearly has no idea what she is talking about and just pulls a random thought out of his head to say out loud.

BARTIROMO: Did you see Europe is drafting a plan to open up the Hormuz Strait without the United States? TRUMP: It's so sad. Look at Greenland. We should have Greenland.

This line right here. This one hit home. I’m 48 and every 5 years or so I get a new idea and this is the first thing I do. I love that feeling of knowing I want to do something but not yet knowing what it is.

The MacBook Neo is such an interesting machine that it coaxed a thousand-word-essay out of me: samhenri.gold/blog/2026031...

I guess on some level this situation is not that funny, but I couldn’t resist the temptation. There once were some Sultans of Iran, Closing the straits, defying Don. In Dire Straits, we’re set, No oil do we get, It’s Money for Nothing, a cover-up con!

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

I think I fell for a hoax here. A well done one -- the audio clip came from "sample.audible.com" but I went there to play an actual sample of another book and it came up with a different URL. Also, she quotes JonBenet Ramsey and ....

Hannity clearly does his part to support Trump, but he also plays it both ways. He can’t say this stuff on his show, but he knows just who to book to make sure the news comes up on his show. This way, if the shit really hits the fan, he can say he covered it.

Stephanie MIller uses her appearance on Hannity to say Trump is all over the Epstein Files to the Fox audience..

Logging in today and I see that @kevinmkruse.bsky.social has tagged in for @radiofreetom.bsky.social. Making a reasonable and nuanced observation that immediately causes people who are unable to balance multiple ideas at once to fully meltdown.

When I explain that boycotting an election over an issue has never once forced a politician to embrace that issue, I'm not "scolding people to vote." I'm explaining reality. Feel free to sit on your ass! Just don't pretend that your lazy apathy is somehow going to advance your agenda.

On my way to my first ever rally. I’ve had enough. I’ve got three pre-teen kids and I’d be ashamed if this is the country we leave them. #NoKingsDay

If the graphic nature of the Charlie Kirk murder upset you, I hope you realize that children are being subjected to that same kind of violence. The ones who survive school shootings? That’s what they witness. The people of Gaza? They’re watching horrific violence every single day.

I said this a few months ago, and I'll say it again: Part of our job as citizens is to make ICE as uncomfortable and frustrated as possible. Not just non-cooperation but actively looking for any way to increase their anxiety. Make life as difficult as possible for them. (thread)

Just saw the trailer for The Phoenician Scheme. Looks great. Does Wes Anderson just yell “movie” on a corner in Burbank and everyone comes running. The casting was insane.

Recently got a #birdfy and it’s really cool, but the squirrels love it too, and it’s much harder to defend than some other feeders. Hard to be upset though when this is what you see on the camera.

At what point will these parents be charged with child abuse? I don’t agree, but I can at least understand the choice to abstain from a vaccine. Intentionally giving an excessive vitamin dose to a child, against medical advice, is abuse. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/h...
