Pensive Dog on a Rocky Beach

Rightwinger <conspiratorially>: They think we’re idiots. Me <sincerely>: Yes, we think you’re idiots.

Lowe’s has the most revved up hold music I have ever heard.

I’m rewatching Star Trek, and I’ve determined that Dr. McCoy does not have the temperament for Star Fleet, and I’m seriously wondering what their screening process is.

Republicans can survive things that would kill an ordinary person from sheer shame.

Son Volt has a new album out. Does it sound like all the other Son Volt albums? Of course. Is this a good thing? Also, of course.

Secretary of State a famously non-demanding job.

I see it’s already “Earn my vote” vs. “blue no matter who” season. Can’t say I missed it.

Over on Twitter, Rep. Max Miller made me delete a post. I have thoughts. amandalitman.substack.com/p/rep-max-mi...

A couple pounds of lightly electrified meat is just not enough to run most people properly.

I have since determined I am at best average at Marvel Snap.

This is the most cursed thing I have ever heard of.

You can’t explain this to Rightwingers, of course, but the rightwing audience is not inexhaustible, and they have so much hardcore content now that they aren’t going to watch anyone not singing their tune with their whole chest. And liberals will tire quickly of your shit.

I will see myself in hell first.

Is this sustainable? Because it totally seems sustainable.

Since, when the time comes, I feel there may be a lack of material, you can put “pretty good at Marvel Snap” in my obituary.

I wonder if Dems in like a coordinated fashion might hammer on the Trump DOJ dropping the Live Nation action while everyone is mad about ticket prices. Like while it’s in the news. Like after Trump just said he didn’t care. Like a coordinated message on a timely salient issue. Maybe?

I can’t figure out if making the local news montages on John Oliver’s show has the best job ever or the absolute worst job ever.

I have been planning to not vote for Platner for a while. But I’ve been planning to vote for the other guy. And I feel that I’m still calling him the other guy is a problem for anyone hoping Platner doesn’t win.

This is just a pig telling me bacon isn’t delicious.

People like to say you can’t get good pizza outside New York City. When the truth is you can’t get a decent bacon egg and cheese outside NYC. I don’t know how the economics work to get that much bacon on a single BEC, but it doesn’t math out anywhere else, apparently.

Imagine still hoping that this administration would replace anyone with someone better.

Luke: But is the dark side more powerful? Yoda: No, but it lets you be a smug piece of shit who never has to worry about other people, and boy is that really fucking popular. Frankly, some days I don’t know why I even bother with this light side bullshit.

It would be faster to count the grains of sand on the beach than the number of donkeys this guy blows.

I Have wondered this very thing.

They clearly haven’t agreed to change the name to Trump Air yet.

I don’t have a solution any more than anyone else does, but a famous limit on Freedom of Speech is yelling Fire! in a crowded theater, and we have a rightwing media echo chamber that yells “Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!” all day, everyday, to their followers for money.

I don’t know how it happened, but apparently someone at Turning Point USA gave their mole at the ACLU a million dollars, and next thing I know I’m in a parade with a tiki torch chanting about the great replacement theory. Not my fault.

After all these years why does Word still suck the last sperm out of a dead dog’s dick.

Who would’ve expected that the career grifter who has only read one book in his life (a German tome, I believe) would run a grift for his library.

You can not fully understand rightwing politics if you do not factor in spite. And that can be a tough thing for normal people, who do not live to see other people upset, to fully understand. Like your “rightwing tears” coffee cup just doesn’t cover it.

There are two types of people. Those who can hear the word “phenomena” and not think of the muppets.

I wonder if it’s good for a society to just have everyone in positions of authority just openly lying to everyone all the time about everything.

I still remember Rightwingers whining For Years about Solendra during the Obama presidency. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if it popped up in a WSJ op-ed to justify this.

It’s pretty much just a given that ICE is going to murder someone at an airport, and it’s just a matter of who and when.

I’m not mad about this, but I’m also pretending this award is for Boogie Nights.

The Oscars use of time is always some version of the dril budget tweet.

By the time it arrives the world cup will be the US team having a circle jerk in the middle of the pitch.

Just heard about an app that will create an AI generated stock portfolio based on your prompts. I’m going to just enter “go woke or go broke,” toss in all my savings, and wait for my ship to roll in.

I swear to fuck. A year into this madness and he’s still peeling off 20% of these fuckwits.

I have lost count of the times Jeffries has proven himself to be completely useless.

Welp. Sam Alito is going on a book tour soon. May the sky be filled with rotted fruit whenever and wherever he appears in public.

Elon thinks if he can build a city on the moon he’ll be able to write the age of consent laws.

Shocker. Police are always, predominantly, a self-selecting group of authoritarian wankers.

The face-eating leopards never go hungry in authoritarian times.

There are obviously a lot of dangers ahead, but I do believe the election of 2026 will go on pretty much as normal, and the Dems may be handed a great political opportunity. And I just wish I hadn’t spent the last three decades of my life watching them trip over their own dicks. But one can hope.

Small thing but just saw a clip of Trump saying “he lied like a dog,” and I’m certain he doesn’t understand it’s a pun and thinks dogs are particularly egregious liars.

By now, asteroid 2026 Dreadstone has impacted the Indian Ocean, sparking a firestorm not seen on this planet since the K–Pg Extinction Event. Most people just want to be with their families. Here are three ways effective business leaders can leverage targeted KPIs to turn tragedy 😔 into triumph 💪
