I’m really looking forward to ignoring another city of real housewives.

That oil “deal” with Venezuela is just this year’s version of Mexico paying for the wall.

Heads up: Taylor Farms lettuce is sold under these brand names: Marketside (sold at Walmart) Earthbound Farm (owned by Taylor Farms) Cross Valley Farms (owned by US Foods) Private labels for Target, Whole Foods (365), and Amazon Fresh. AVOID ALL OF THEM

Taylor Farms, which supplies major fast food and grocery chains, was identified as the possible source of the cyclosporiasis outbreak Thursday.

The corruption and grift is so common that if an outlier surfaces they may as well call them the white sheep of the family.

I want to start a trend where people line up to buy a pair of shoes that they can’t see. Each one will have a stuffed animal clipped on. Gonna call them Labubutains.

British writers act like no time at all has passed after offering/making tea.

When used properly all drugs are performance-enhancing drugs.

I have zero faith that he will keep his word for a 2-week ceasefire. They will, however, probably wait until the markets have closed for the week to move forward with significant military actions.

Dan Rather represents an era when journalism wasn't as polarized into political groups. I miss those days. 😭

Is anyone else offended when people conflate quiet energy with low energy? #introvertlife

The recent SCOTUS decision on Colorado's conversion therapy ban has me confused: If it violates the doctor's free speech does this mean they're free to say whatever they want free from constraint? Or can they simply do what the parents want, in which case it's not really their speech?

Unpopular opinion, but “popping” champagne corks is unnecessary drama. Twisting them out quickly and (almost) quietly is the superior method.

The only Kings in LA play hockey. Stay strong. #nokings

People seem willing to go to any lengths to avoid fishing a dyed egg from a cup with a flimsy wire. The coffee maker is a new one.

On September 5, 2024, Donald Trump promised The Economic Club of New York that if he were elected he would cut all energy costs, including gasoline, "in half--maybe more" within the first 12 months of being in office. Hmmm . . . did that happen? His incompetence is only exceeded by his dishonesty.

Between the 24-hr digital devices and analog clocks in my home I’m not counting on a Gen Z to ever get me my meds on time.

So Trump has eased sanctions on *both* Russia and Iran. Putting money in the hands of two countries currently busy killing US Troops. If that isn't treason, I don't know what is.

💯 on 🎯

Influencers are now following the recipe model by dragging out their videos before getting to the point. Also, please stop listing 5 random word lists thinking we'll wait for the number 1 spot.

LAWA plan to ease traffic congestion:

In 2024, Donald Trump campaigned on two big promises: (1) he'd bring down gas prices; and (2) he'd not start any new wars. In 2026, Donald Trump will cause gas prices to spike astronomically by starting a new war. He's smart—and trustworthy—like that.

The current administration is so full of s#!t that its breathing qualifies as farts.

Democrats denouncing this gratuitous, distractive war with Iran are not "siding with Iran;" they are siding with sanity and the Constitution.

I predict The State of the Union will sound like an angry drunk who just got dropped by their other half on Valentine's Day. It's going to be epically bitter and messy.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

Naming Dulles after Donald Trump would be a rather simple undertaking. Just add a "t" to the end. Voilà!

has anybody gotten confirmation yet from Mike Johnson that he hasn't seen the post?

The conservatives used to shut down the government over a few hundred million dollars. Seriously. Yet Trump blows billions and sues the govt for billions and gets a “free” jet from Qatar that the govt will spend a billion on then let him take it with him… and not a peep.

Pam Bondi telling Minneapolis that ICE will be recalled *only* when that blue city turns over its voter rolls is a clear reveal that this isn't about immigration. It's about interfering with upcoming elections that may not favor Donald Trump. It's extortion. www.cbsnews.com/news/bondi-m...

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Another group (Washington National Opera) pulls out of the Kennedy Center. Grenell really seems to bring out the cultural disaffection in people.

You would think the guy who oversees the FDA (the agency that approves a lot of food additives and safety) would be more aggressive when it comes to ultra-processed foods. He has no problems ignoring/misquoting studies and outcomes when it comes to drugs.

Yeah this is exactly how I feel

Yes, the Golden Gate Bridge is—famously—in Southern California.

Just saw #wickedforgood and has anyone ever looked into the Tigelaar family history? What family needs a spare castle with oubliettes as a design feature? Did they just come with the the place? Did the realtor sell them on it saying that would be nice to have “just in case?”

On tonight’s episode: Pam Bondi lunges at Lindsey Halligan: "You ruined my James Comey revenge!" Halligan yells, “You were the idiot who let the statute of limitations run!” A drunk Jeanine Pirro pushes them apart. Pam snarls at Pirro: “I’m not through with you, Miss Can’t Get a Fucken Indictment!”

Do you really think a Department of Justice that lies to judges about grand jury indictments is going to be open and honest about the Epstein Files?

Just updated to iOS 26. Someone tell the folks at Apple that an alarm’s snooze button shouldn’t be that close to the off button.
