1. I'm late to this, but there's still time for a word on James Talarico's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's show. It's important, because I don't think most people on the left appreciate how threatening he is.

creativity is literally a response to restriction it's why if i just said "draw something" you'd have no idea what to do but if i said "draw a teddy bear using only your fingerprints" you'd be ready to go instantly and have like 8 different ideas how to do it

I always say that Jupiter Ascending should have been an 8 hour limited mini-series. I was way more interested in the world building than in the central storyline.

Putin's a humanitarian only in the "if a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat" way. Words have no meaning anymore.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

What's the cost of your representative? This thread outlines a pathway to corruption that not even the most noble-hearted elected representative can get away from. Wtf.

Musk would do this through those f*cking Trump Accounts they opened in every child's name without parental consent. I HATE these SO much. Parents cannot close the accounts. Parents cannot reject donations to the accounts. And we must hold on to donations for at least 5 years. I'm a state lawmaker.

How can people hate us when we promised no new wars and that prices would go down? Didn't they hear us promise?

There's a Politico (lol) piece entirely about how Republicans' hope right now is that the polls are all way off and they only get a MILD wipeout and first of all it's full of a bunch of nonsense but the best part is how it ends on this incredible bit:

Today in 1216 saw the death of King John, arguably the worst king ever to rule England. A tyrant, a coward, a liar and a traitor, contemporaries accused him of cruelly persecuting his enemies and sexually assaulting the women at his court. Some quotes from the chronicles:

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

Listening to some of the EAs in the staffroom complain about what girls are wearing to school these days, as if the same conversation hasn't taken place every generation... "what is she thinking showing her ankles like that!" "Why can you see her knees in that skirt?" "Girls in trousers! For shame!"

You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

Couldn't decide between this gif and the "That's not how any of this works", but either way, Trump's an idiot.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Because of tariffs, we are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars of profits. It's one of the reasons I can offer, if Republicans win the House and Senate, $5,000 to every adult. We can do it and the Democrats can't, because the Democrats don't have any income."

How many of the news outlets breathlessly reporting on Trump's latest Sharpie-fumes-induced stupidity mention that the tariffs that Canada "unfairly" retaliated against were deemed illegal by his own high court?

[sighing to my wife at the table of a nice restaurant] No no no, milkshake ducks are just for racism. if you're complaining about fascists or homophobes, that's a drone metal orthodox priest guitarist. You don't think it makes a difference, but I'm saying it does. I am not raising my voice.
