It’s so funny that FIFA gave Trump a Peace Prize and a few months later he threatened to kill a national team that qualified for the World Cup.

I reckon Frodo Baggins was a good hobbit. His story seems more believable than that other bloke.

This was the White House's war plan:

Day #1 : Bomb

Day #2: Iran becomes a white Christian nationalist country

Day #3: Free gas

Day 4: Kid Rock concert/UFC fight broadcast from Tehran

So far, things are a bit off track

Single frame. Title: “Meanwhile, in a Syrian refugee camp”. Scene is refugee camp in washed out colour with tents, adult and child carrying babs in background. Foreground: woman in robe and hijab holding a soccer ball speaks to three young children saying, “Pay attention kids. This could be our only hope.”

Game of hope.

Across the country today, we men are finding unique ways to balance . . .

"we men . . ."

I just learned something new about Melania. She identifies as a man? That is interesting.

"I tried to be as musical a player as I could. I wasn't concerned with having lightning-fast chops. That might have interested me when I was younger but, eventually, you learn that's not fulfilling. You have to do what the music calls for."

the beauty of the weather, the nice look of a mountain, or maybe a nice fresh cool breath of air, I mean all those things. You can never tell what you'll be thinking tomorrow. But I can definitely say that the music won't stop, you keep going forward."

"Your ideas change as you grow older. Most people fail to realize that most of the things they hear coming out of a man's horn, ad lib, or else things that are written, original things, they're just experiences, the way he feels -

illustration inspired by Mary Shelley's novel "Frankenstein" showing the creature standing beside a tree on a hilltop.

"It was the wretch, the filthy daemon, to whom I had given life."

Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" was published on this day in 1818 🫀

Reporter: A new report says the military investigation has found it was the United States that struck the school in Iran. Do you take responsibility?

Trump: I don’t know about it.

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

Pete Hegseth is banishing photographers from the Pentagon over “unflattering” photos of him?

Would be a shame if this picture kept circulating.

Watching the rest of the country who’ve made their entire personality about hating Victoria, specifically Melbourne, cope and seethe at Melbourne being named the best city in the world is a funny addition to the day.

Capitalism is the belief that you can let the richest people run the world.

It's what we have.

What many people seem to want is Democratic Socalism where elected Governments really control things.

Or just Socialism where we don't have any people rich enough to run anything
