"Is the Republican gubernatorial nominee actively trying to lose this election?" Probably not, but I don't think he cares at all about winning it.

Quickly nostalgic for the days I was unaware of the geopolitical significance of the Strait of Hormuz.

How it started/how it's going

Don't let Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce getting engaged distract you from the fact that Donald Trump's Big Ugly Bill will drive up the cost of living for every day Americans concerned about their grocery bills or something.

Man, imagine if MAGA saw the end of Conclave.

There's a non-zero chance Trump takes credit for the first American pope, right?

Just want to post a picture of my dog because my feed is 95% mental health poison

Maybe just me but I would rather these clowns *actually do nothing* rather than write "strongly worded" letters and pretend that they are doing something productive.

People wonder why younger voters want all of these do-nothing old heads to get primaried and bounced.

Coincidentally, it's for the same reason I have no intention of firing Jerome Powell: I can't.

I am on my knees begging, pleading with the universe to make the JD Vance trophy drop the start of a decades long national championship curse for The™ Ohio State University.

Can't fully explain it but the fact that Pam Bondi's middle name is "Jo" just makes a lot of sense.

While I certainly believe in a person's road to rehabilitation and remorse, I can't exactly justify their reclamation of the platform that allowed them to cause that kind of harm. This was a great read and one I needed to really put this new tour saga to bed.

It's truly remarkable the speed in which Trumpers are going to go from "eggs are too expensive" to "actually a recession is a good thing."

I swear to christ – and I know every day it's seeming more and more like a distant reality – if the Democrats ever take back power and I hear the words "in the interest of healing and moving forward as a country" and I'm going to shit my pajamas.

Hey, @schatz.bsky.social, what the hell, man.

It's only Champagne Papi it if it's from the Champagne region of France otherwise it's Sparkling Canadian Wine Papi has anyone made this joke before if so I haven't seen it, damn let's go.

I think if somebody asked me how much "Beat Bobby Flay" I've watched in the past year I would just simply be too embarrassed to answer.

Deadliest aviation crash in 15 years but we can all feel confident that it's being overseen and investigated by the two departments headed up by the guy from Real World and Road Rules and the B-team guy from Fox and Friends.

I'm not going to lie this picture has me shook.

I truly, for the life of me, can't imagine having that much money and being this much of a loser.

This whole reality isn't the least surprising, because half of America would have voted for Elon Musk if he were the GOP nominee anyway. "He's a billionaire, he'll run the country like one of his businesses and get us back on track," they'd say. You can almost hear it.

We're just in for another four years of the Stupid Sopranos and it hasn't even started yet.

I have whatever *less than zero sympathy* is for people who lost money buying crypto currency from the hawk tuah girl.

Bro this man is actually having his mom call the hiring committee in charge of the job he's looking to land what a mickey mouse government they're piecing together sheeeeeeesh.

The energy I am bringing to 2025

The problem with pieces like this, which are countless, is the prevailing media assumption that left-of-center Americans need constant corrective instruction about how to be in and engage with the world, whereas right-of-center Americans are simply to be observed in awe, like rainbows or mountains.

Sexual abusers are like plagiarists. They rarely do it just once. So there’s a reasonable chance that additional credible allegations are out there, making the nominees ripe for more investigations, or blackmail

I hate "culture war" for a reason I've seen most clearly articulated by Adam Johnson. It trivializes the issue, and pits it as a debate rather than what it is: an attack on people simply trying to live life as themselves. Conservatives should be steamrolled in these "wars" not ignored, imo

Is there anybody in the entire political discourse with as little of an identity as Meghan McCain?

Unsurprisingly, Tom Homan thinks the Diary of Anne Frank is an instruction manual.

Is Scott Galloway for our "Liberal Joe Rogan" a controversial pick?

I just found out Matt Gaetz grew up in a town called Niceville and it's the most compelling argument for "life is a simulation" I've heard yet.

I'm going to make my wholehearted endorsement of this post *my* first post on this website.
