To all the new random followers, welcome. It's like stepping outside in the morning and finding a couple night crawlers fucking.

Duck tape is not to be confused with duct tape, but it has its moments.

Every time I eat gravlax in this economy i think about soilent green and those $400 strawberries.

MOOD

Stealing the honey could be complicated.

"If expressions of opposition to Israel’s actions in Palestine is defined as “supporting terrorism,” then free speech is dead. This is an excellent example of why the NIH, and other reputable organizations, reject the IHRA and ADL definition of antisemitism."

Springtime in Portlandia, a moment of zen.

A good friend keeps an eye out, just sayin'

We really do have to choose whether we are going to accept summary executions in broad daylight as a standard operating procedure.

It's probably a good day to sharpen knives.

Jared Kushner's involvement was "not mentioned in Paramount's press release on Monday morning about its $108 billion bid, nor were participating sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Qatar." fancy that

Kavanaugh should personally have to pay for all the broken windows, bandages and tow fees that called trivial.

really a pretty embarrassing few fucking weeks for Bluesky content moderation and what passes for a comms team

This guy’s name is Zac Segal. I hope no one forgets what he did.

The CR to open the government included no guarantees around extending ACA subsidies. Will a vote on extending them actually happen? Who knows! In any case, Trump and his lapdogs continue to assert that they have the power to slash whatever programs they don’t like. Capitulation is not a strategy.

I don’t know how bad the economic numbers are going to end up this quarter. But I do know the party that controls the presidency, House and Senate is going to blame the party that doesn’t.

Happy Exploding Whale Day to all those who celebrate. IYKYK

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

America has of course been indiscriminately and illegally murdering people for generations, but polite society expects you to apply at least a flimsy creative veneer

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.

The stat that blows my mind is that Israel killed more civilians in the first week after October 7 than Hamas has killed since it was founded 40 years ago

2/ That is more specific than earlier reporting on tying Admiral Holsey's resignation directly to his concerns about the legality of boat strikes. Earlier reporting: www.cnn.com/2025/10/16/p...

One of many costs to US murder (sorry, no better word for it) in Caribbean: "United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal."

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

My Aircraft's Grounded Again

such opsec much wow

RIP Lil' ms. Sassypants. 2009-2025.

Dick Cheney was a fucking war criminal, stop celebrating his life.

Touched a Nerve

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

WATCH YOUR KIDS

"Mamdani once offered me a 'Kleenex,' but it was actually a store-brand facial tissue."

Fantastic (as in pure fantasy).

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Andrew Cuomo says he will continue to not live in New York City if Zohran Mamdani becomes NYC mayor.

Turns out it's just Masturbation.

GET IN BITCHES WE'RE GOING TO START ANOTHER WAR (or three)

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

STAY CLASSY VANTUCKY
