Unfortunately it was writing this about Trump and it went so viral that he saw it and, I'm told, was actually upset about it.

at long last, esteemed foreign-policy intellectual Donald Trump Jr. weighs in on the US-Iran conflict

Welp, thanks to @sundaedivine.bsky.social's reposts going viral yet again, this tweet has graduated to the next level of absurdity and is now a #memecoin. 🤣 $FLOORSKIN pump.fun/coin/GTCqdT9...

I think it's time to drop this @citrano.com description again: "It's almost impossible to believe he exists. It's as if we took everything that was bad about America, scraped it up off the floor, wrapped it all up in an old hot dog skin, and then taught it to make noises with its face."

I’ve seen enough: Katie Zacharia will defeat Anthony Scaramucci, toppling his record. She may even finish in the single digits.

I find the “God is NOT non-binary” argument so strange. So you think your God has two balls and a cock?

So I gather, in Trump's and Rubio's eyes, Guilfoyle's great sin was in thinking too small?

As a Certified Maine Guy™️, I am living proof that you can, in fact, eat road salt. But I refuse to let this little quibble soften my fervent wish that my home state sends Troy Jackson to Washington in January.

They were cool with the racism, sexism, bigotry, corruption, dismantling of social services and common decency, burning every ally, shooting American citizens in the face in the street, the insurrection, Trump being besties with Epstein etc etc. But once the price of gas got too high it was over.

Stuff like this is very bad - especially because it makes it very hard to *actually* give people their money.

I am so sad to hear of Annie Dillard’s passing. She was an exceptional literary talent - her remarkable “Total Eclipse” changed how I thought writing could be done. My heart goes out to her family and friends. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/16/b...

imagine being so developmentally stunted that you think it’s a flex to signal you’re a bipedal primate

Pet peeve: people talking about the “end of summer” as soon as September hits, despite there being 25% of the summer still ahead of us.

Easily the most annoying #UX flub in Apple News. Whatever you take a user’s intent to be when they block a channel, surely it’s not “Please prominently feature content from this channel every time I open the app”? 🤦🏻‍♂️ It's been like this for at least ~7 years.

“Would-be future American leaders who recognize the value of allies and think all will be forgiven when the White House has a new occupant need to appreciate the depth of the damage being done by its current resident.” www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/o...

”[T]he way that he was speaking was very erratic..” Erratic? Moraff has one of the most insufferable and grating speaking styles I've experienced in years. Surely that is nature warning us to steer clear.

Senator Thom Tillis: “We don’t want to oppose the president just for the sake of opposing the president, but unlike the president, we have a third of our members up for reelection this year..” Gotta love how it's about re-election, not principle. But I guess we knew that.

Daily Mail has published pics of presumptive Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner “shirtless and in only a towel”. Your move, Senator Collins. 🤣

Today seems like a “good” day for a re-do of my 2017 nuclear football thread. Jokes about Trump and the nuclear codes are well-worn. But most people don’t realize how it all actually works, so I’m going to explain. Warning: you will find this thread distressing.
