After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

@microsoft.com Just dropping by again to remind you how much I loathe everything you do. Simply a terrible company. Terrible software. Terrible business practices. You're just a laughingstock of a company. The Toys-R-Us version of computing platforms.

It's going to be the weirdest thing watching every news network trying to sell "a nation in mourning" while Kool & the Gang's "Celebration" becomes the new national anthem.

After watching 7 games of the Oklahoma City Thunder play, it is clear they wouldn't be in the position they are in without serious assistance from officiating. They commit fouls 99% of the time on defense, but rarely get called for it. It's disrespectful to the game. The @nba needs to clean that up.

This is what courage looks like. While so many stay silent, these people took a stand. We need more of that—right now. 📌 21 civil service employees resigned from DOGE

That tiny little person loathes anyone who brings joy into another person's life, because he has had absolutely none in his own life, and no one has ever liked him enough to give him any.

I often enjoy listening to a YT music mix (jazz, classical, island house) while I'm working. Today, I sat down with breakfast and wanted to watch a tutorial to learn something new. Instead, I was greeted with 367 suggestions like these before any other type of video was presented. Fix the algorithm!

Hope y’all are enjoying a good movie or book on this fine Sunday! Nothing else happening for morally decent people today, so…here’s an old photo of a sunset from Folly Beach, South Carolina
