The drink is called Stop Yelling At Us

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

Low on the very long list of Epstein crimes, but that evil man's punctuation style is deranged to the point of criminal. Comma use that can only be described as depraved

A cat is seen riding a bus. They are standing up and have their front paws on the back of the front seat.

this is what will happen if mamdani makes bus rides free

It’s far from the most important thing, morally right now, or in terms of the human stakes, but the ballroom thing is really breaking my brain.

Boston too, we have Mayor Wu and they came for our immigrant community as well.

Brilliant.

Yes, because if people don’t have to wait in line to pay, they can get on through any open door and the bus can get going sooner. We have a few free lines in Boston and this has helped.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

Hello from Berlin where a few hundred Americans are outside the embassy, currently reading aloud from the Declaration of Independence. #nokings

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Given the feud of the day

Saw this, thought you’d appreciate it. 😁

this is a day for those of us who have spent the last six months terminally online. this is for us and honestly, we deserve it.

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

Rahm/Newsom/Cuomo: Dems spend too much time talking about what bathroom people use or what sport team they play on

The GOP:

US pushes nations facing tariffs to approve Musk’s Starlink. Wow the corruption. An internal State Department memo lays it bare:“As the government of Lesotho negotiates a trade deal with the United States, it hopes that licensing Starlink demonstrates goodwill and intent to welcome U.S. businesses.”

FBI, national security agencies using polygraphs for ‘leak’ hunts Current and former officials say the crackdown at the FBI, the Pentagon and Office of the Director of National Intelligence is creating a climate of fear and harming national security.

National security agencies across the Trump administration are ramping up investigations into alleged leaks to the news media, in some cases using polygraph tests that current and former officials say are creating a climate of fear and intimidation.

It’s the things you don’t realize Musk will cut until he does. DOGE has slashed funding for a reading program serving dyslexic children at the historic Hindman Settlement School in Kentucky.

I like that the judge gave a citation for “common sense”.

American exceptionalism is electing a pariah government so repugnant that it tanks the electoral prospects of aligned right wing governments across the entire anglosphere

I want my government to be boring and competent enough so that I don’t have to think about it every goddamn minute.

George HW Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Clinton (D) got us out.

George W Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Obama (D) got us out.

Trump (R) got us mired in a recession. Biden (D) got us out.

Trump (R) is yet again ushering us into a recession.

Starting to notice a trend?

I can’t remember specifics, I just know it was solidly before the tariffs were a big conversation.

If it’s helpful, my Santander bank app has had this for a while now. Maybe since the start of this year?

My Gen X cousin and I agree on many problems in the country, but she and her husband watch Fox. I’m convinced if they turned it off they’d be Bernie supporters.

Was explaining to David (11) the tariff stuff and what a tariff is and he was like “you mean like what started the revolutionary war?” And I was like; yes exactly.

Oh, this is gonna make the rounds. 🤡
