🍷I like the wine, and not the label. Also...I love this journey for you.

My mother was the epitome of kindness and generosity. She was a lifelong, devout Christian, and did her very best to live up to that standard. Not long after she died, I found in her desk a book called "2000 Questions About Me." She hadn't answered ALL the questions, but she did answer this one:

One of my favorite #northernlights shots, taken back in May of 2025. I've been tempted to print it and drop it off at the house in the photo...I have no idea who lives there, but they probably have a farm dog and possibly feral roosters. So, I always chicken out. Pun intended.

I recently discovered that my Pixel 10 has an #astrophotography mode. I'm especially good at figuring things out - all on my own - that most other humans have already figured out, documented rigorously, shared, updated, commented on, and advanced to great heights. Here's me at the 1st floor.

So, #Supergirl is awful. Who coulda thunk it???! Hollywood seems to specialize in jumping ever increasing sharks, year after year. It's almost like, oh, I don't know, comic book super heroes are done to absolute death and we should never make one again ever ever ever ever ever ever amen.

Alyssa Thomas should be booed out of every basketball venue she enters for the rest of her life. This should be a career ending, literal CRIMINAL assault (good God I'd love to see CC press charges). Instead, she's fined 0.08% of her salary, and has to sit a single fucking game. The #WNBA is a joke.

EVERY staunch conservative that I've EVER met is not REMOTELY funny. They all THINK they're hilarious...but their entire view of what's funny is actually just based on common ugliness. None of them are clever enough to be funny. They all lack the basic human empathy and insight humor requires.

Being great on the ice isn’t enough. When the 🇺🇸 hockey team had the chance to stand up for the 🇺🇸women’s team, they chose to laugh along with the bully-in-chief instead. That’s disappointing. Real strength shows up off the ice too.

If we had a progressive #president with the same disdain for the law as Heir Drumpf we'd have: Universal Healthcare Universal Basic Income Budget surplus No Citizens United No Billionaire tax loopholes A 13 Member SCOTUS No Electoral College No ICE Gun Reform No Congressional stock trades On Day 1

It's almost like #PizzaGate was actually happening the whole time. But instead of the basement of a Clinton-funded pizza parlour, it was every rich white Republican (and sleazeball Bill Clinton) in America, on a private island completely devoted to criminal child molestation, thousands of times.

Not only should the most incompetent AG in the history of humanity reach, but every last human who supported her nomination should apologize, resign, and leave politics forever.

BREAKING: Pam Bondi appears to have just committed a federal crime by lying under oath. Ted lieu just caught her in a lie and called for her resignation live on TV.

If ANY of the BILLION Pearl Jam and/or DMB fans can understand even 1% of those lyrics, then they're lying to you. It's zero percent.

“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English” my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

Yup. Yup^infinity

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

This wins today's intrawebs

I want America to be a country where singing Spanish during a 15minute halftime show doesn't cause more shock than rich men r*ping children over decades #BadBunny #SuperBowl #HalfTimeShow #SuperBowl2026 #SuperBowlLX #NFL #Football #GameDay #RememberTheEpsteinVictims #tRumpIsARapist #FuckIce #IceOut

Rest in Peace, #WashingtonPost. Though, you died the day you decided to carry Trump's water thru the entire 2024 election cycle. You jumped the shark long ago, & deserve every ounce of the disintegration you're about to endure. Feel bad for the few remaining non-shills that were just fired, tho.

Chaotic Evil Orange Blob says the quiet part out loud (which is apparently his entire approach to everything): "Hey Europe, we're the Nazis now. Get out of the way."

Trump: "No nation is in any position to be able to secure Greenland other than the US. We're a great power. Much greater than people even understand. I think they found that out 2 weeks ago in Venezuela. We saw this in World War 2 when Denmark fell to Germany after just 6 hours of fighting."

In case anyone was wondering where all the obnoxiously vocal, anti-tyranny, gun-nut, ammo sexual, voices have gone: they all work for #ICE now, and they're much harder to hear from behind their Murderwear™ facemasks.

As we know, #Trump, like a swamp creature composed entirely of human feces, ruins literally everything he touches. So, let's just let him HAVE The Kennedy Center. He's already soiled it beyond redemption. Instead, let's just create a NEW venue called The REAL Kennedy Center, and fuck MAGA forever.

Any artist currently considering performing at the #KennedyCenter should seriously evaluate their life choices right now (I feel for you, all you NSO musicians). I see that the infinitely mediocre Bro's Bro Adam Carolla is performing there in January. That shit fits like a glove, right there.

Just a reminder: #BillClinton, while he's no PoopyPants Von CheetoFace, is still a slimy sack of shit who deserves every last ounce of scrutiny and outrage over his connections to Epstein. Thank you for attending my TedTalk.

#TheAbandons might be the most poorly written sack of dog turds ever produced by Netflix. Holy hell. How do adult professionals put out this garbage and still have jobs? It's like every western ever written threw up onto a script and everyone was like, "Shit! Let's do it...terribly!"

The fact that Spain is mad they can't loot the #SanJose is hilarious. "HEY! We legit enslaved, murdered, raped, and manically subjugated an ENTIRE indigenous population for DECADES to accumulate all this stolen gold! How dare you tell us we can't steal it yet again!"

Hey Georgia! How's it feel to watch your grifting grifter of a representative grift her way right out the door, just in the nick of time for one final, lifelong grift? Almost seems like y'all like electing grifters, or some such.

MAGA: whhahahhhaaaaaaaa! Cracker Barrel! Whaaahhaaaaaaaa! Woke! Whaaahhaaaa! Cancel! Woke woke woke! Waaahahahahha! Also MAGA: You libturds cancel everything! Everyone else: Cracker Barrel is fucking awful. Who gives a shit about the logo...stop selling shit food wrapped in old timey bullshit.

It's so strange...in all the YA dystopian futures, America is run by a ruthlessly clever, evil genius. But in our current, real world dystopia, America is run by a cartoonishly stupid, fat, orange, pedophile Boss Hog. Any author who tried to write this story would have been laughed into obscurity.

As recent as two years ago, I was like, "Absolutely NO one needs a gun. I will NEVER buy a gun." And now I'm all, "Arm the fuck up, liberals. Get your training and concealed carry license. Play their stupid game now, because they'll play it all fucking day."

So.... They lied?!? What a crazy random happenstance.

Mother Jones@motherjones.com

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

Hey #MAGA, where the fuck are all you "Don't Tread On Me" gasbags right about now??!! I thought you fucking LIVED for the opportunity to go all 2nd Amendment against government tyranny. Ya'll suddenly seem pretty goddam selective about what fucking tyranny looks like.

#DidYouKnow ??? If you rearrange the letters of MakeAmericaGreatAgain, you can spell: "I'm A Giant Racist" Well, no you can't...but you believed it for a split second. And you REALLY wanted it to be true. Me too.
