In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙

So much this. I met my wife in an AOL chat room in the late 90s that couldn't exist today because it'd be overrun with bots and spam. There were a lot of idiots out there, of course, but it seemed more folks cared about their interactions with other people. Now get the fuck off my lawn.

I have confirmed the gist of this report out of federal court in Minnesota today from a source familiar. If you have more information about the District of Minnesota—either the court or the U.S. Attorney's Office—and how they are handling all of this, please reach out. I am at crg.32 on Signal.

I could not have said it better myself!

A-fucking-men.

Sometimes, social media hits just right when you need it the most. Thanks @merriam-webster.com, you're appreciated.

I just took 10 bucks out of my wallet and put it in my pocket. I am a business man like Elon. my pants are now worth $10 more than they were, although they are $10 in debt to my wallet

Man, it took me WAYYYY longer than it should have to get this. But yeah, it's a good one.

This was an absolutely horrible tragedy that I remember watching from my Social Studies classroom as a high school senior. But that was only like 20 years ago though, right? Right??

See, here's the thing. It doesn't matter AT ALL what these judges say, no matter how strongly worded it is. Strong words will not stop this administration. Unless a judge can do something concrete, such as contempt hearings, these papers are worthless.

I mean, I've got a 1st place Pinewood Derby trophy from around 1977 or so, that I'll be happy to share if it'll shut this idiot up for a few days.

“I want to oppose the Empire and its policy of building planet-destroying Death Stars, but an Ewok once chittered at me weird.”

C’mon, she didn’t say a big piece of broccoli. And a tomato as the other thing?? What am I, made of money??

My name is Mary Peltola, and I'm running for U.S. Senate to fight for fish, family, and freedom – and that begins with fixing the rigged system in DC that’s shutting down Alaska. We need systemic change if we're going to lower costs, save our fisheries, and fill our homes with abundance again.

And watching this about 23 times is how I'm choosing to end my evening, and this nightmarish week.

They are all thugs. And some of them are murderers.

It's good to see Herr Miller agreeing that ICE agents are now domestic terrorists.

Law enforcement officers CANNOT use deadly force against a fleeing person fleeing unless they have a reasonable belief that the individual poses a danger to others (e.g., they know the person is armed). If in vehicle, the person must be threatening to use deadly force with the vehicle or other means

It's not a troll. They have already started pushing 'might makes right' through their various media people and insinuating international law doesn't exist. They'll transfer people to the Pituffik space base first, and then claim 'training exercises' to bring the rest of the troops and equipment.

Man, aren't we glad he got that peace prize? Imagine what he'd be doing otherwise. Of course, that means next year's FIFA Peace Prize winner is going to have to bomb 9 countries to prove their superior peaceiness.

Most small business owners were Trump supporters in 2024 In fact, Trump has been a disaster for small businesses Small businesses have lost nearly 200,000 jobs since he has taken office 2026 will be worse

I think liberalism should be a big tent. But no the tent isn’t big enough to include MTG and Bill Kristol. No fucking thanks.

I'm more and more impressed with this woman each time I see her. She's going to be a force.

Getting closer.

That last sentence in the second-to-last paragraph is really all she needed to say. "We need to be able to get the principals on the record and on camera." All the government has to do to kill a CBS story is refuse to give interviews about it. Weiss just gave Trump a kill switch for CBS.

I've said this phrase many times throughout my life, and it's still so very appropriate to the DNC leadership here: DON'T ASK A QUESTION THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE ANSWER TO!

my “yes, even the empty margins of our files are redacted” t-shirt answers a lot of questions already answered by my t-shirt

Okay, hahahaha, good one @bencollins.bsky.social. It's a little early for an @theonion.com April Fool's issue, but you got me with this one. It was you, right?

Okay, I got 2 points.

If you want some good data on actual gas prices around the country, and if there are really any below $2, I highly recommend following @gasbuddyguy.bsky.social. So about 0.1% of stations have gas below $2 as of today.

I'm guessing Oz will now start a GoFundMe for himself to purchase a pair of testicles.

Not necessarily my favorite (that'd be Leader of the Band), but the one that hits hardest as I get older is Same Old Lang Syne. Especially around the holidays.

Words DO MATTER. This is deeply moving.

You sure that’s not RFK Jnr’s Bento box?

I mean, it really does represent MAGA well, I have to admit. It has only surface-level emotions and it's written with absolute pettiness and a disregard for reality.

This is what hope looks like.

republicans say everything wrong in this country is the fault of immigrants, democrats, lgbtq people (esp trans) and women. if you keep doing that you eventually reach the point where you reach a final solution to deal with the "problem."

wish kids would stop saying 6-7 and instead joke about something more useful such as 'please remember The MERL's Acacia Road car park entrance is currently closed due to emergency water repairs'

OPINION: If you’ve ever wondered what it was like to be at Hitler’s Berlin Olympics in 1936 or at Mussolini’s 1934 World Cup, good news! You’ll get a chance at a similar experience next...
