Drop it, Carly!! Drop it! (I know this looks photoshopped, but I swear it's not. My dearly departed Carly loved to rest her (giant) head on things, and in this case it was my daughter's head.)

Do y'all have an obvious favorite photo of your dog? Because I sure do, and it will forever be this one of him photobombing Devil's Tower lol.

"Crush MAGA PAC," a DCCC-aligned Super PAC, is up with a $500,000+ ad buy going negative on progressive frontrunner Will Lawrence in MI-07. It says he's "invested thousands with Wall Street, big oil and data centers." He has a $10,000 retirement account in an index fund.

Horrible new bullshit from the sea every time. It’s never ‘oh we found a new pink fish that is so happy’ it’s always stuff like this, the crush-depth screw-headed dongwongler, and it’s got to have big long creepy bits. Sick of the ocean tbh.

Happy to see this but it shouldn’t have even been a close question

This actually makes a lot of sense when you think about it: How can they write their "woke college kids are the REAL fascists" if the kids aren't giving them something to scold?
