I feel like I’m living in some weird fucking Beckett play or a dystopian sequel to Being There where the president of the United States is just increasingly obviously a porridge-brained mental patient and everyone nods and smiles like it’s normal.

Shame he doesn't decide to sound like Harpo Marx and just shut up. #obviousjokebrigade #RIPHarpoBot @kesterallen.bsky.social

Those surprised Jim Cramer says he sounds like Marx likely don't know Cramer was in the Spartacist League, a Trotskyist sect. He ditched his ideals and used his political education about capitalism to play the market. Looks like he's recalled some of what he knew. www.marxists.org/history/etol...

I missed the "it's not his fault he's stupid" part the first time, but I don't think he's using that as a slur. we shouldn't have a president who is cognitively impaired in the particular ways Trump is. I would be a poor fit because my brain gets dumb sometimes and a president has to be always on.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
