This obviously very stupid but is it also smart? We’ll talk to some liars after this break.

Now we’re screaming which: yeah

I can’t be trusted with them tbh

What an angel

This one has a whole bag of trucks if need be

I can't doomscroll because my friend is over with her toddler and every few minutes the baby comes over to solemnly offer me a truck and then immediately repossess the truck. Very effective

This would be the craziest possible moment for it to happen

The real story is that foreign govts try to "interfere" all the time. In 2020 and 2024 we had mechanisms to catch them, call them out, & mitigate damage. Now, those mechanims are gone & the Trump admin would prefer to exploit "foreign interference" to justify a federal take-over of elections.

Imagine doing all this with the knowledge that we’re all going to die one day

They have extremely strict Social Media Policies in some ways, and yet!

I do not consider it to be a sign of vast intellect to wring your hands in the Times or anywhere else for the ten thousandth time about trans people and I do not need to read whatever else you have to write. I have one very short life to live

Oh my god

Oh my God lol

I think his dad is the only reason we’re reading his name in this context

I see we’re trying a Serious Auteur beard which, go with god my man

Max Landis, Whose Career Imploded During #MeToo, Returns with ‘G.I. Joe’ Movie at Paramount (Exclusive) At the same time, Danny McBride will also be writing a separate 'G.I. Joe' script.

To my knowledge this man has never actually made a good movie and has fielded a truly large, wide-ranging and credible number of creep allegations. And yet! www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Imo what is happening on x is that the algorithm loves racist and anti semitic content, and the people who are on there marinate in it all day, and the epstein files has offered an excuse for even left identified people to indulge in the trangressive pleasure of public bigotry as a little treat

Wow no but I will find it immediately

Straight from the expert, folks

@timmarchman.bsky.social You hear that

I LOVE frozen peas, I put them in an absurd number of things lol

Ooh that’s a nice idea!!!! With spinach maybe? I will try that, love dressing up a mac and cheese

Super fast too!!

I will wrest the infinitesimally tiny wins I can achieve from absolutely anywhere. If there is a thing to enjoy or feel happy about, by god, I will do it

Put This In Your Weeknight Pasta and Dinner Is Done Seriously, you can make the sauce in the time it takes to boil pasta.

Because every day is like crawling across the Sahara on our collective hands and knees: I made this last night with canned smoked trout from Trader Joe’s and lots of spinach and white beans and it was fantastic. www.bonappetit.com/story/easy-t...

Kansas informs trans residents their driver’s licenses become invalid on Thursday Some transgender Kansans said they had received the letters from the Department of Revenue. Others hadn’t by Wednesday evening.

“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.

The Trump administration’s favorite nuclear startup has ties to Russia and Epstein Also, Christian nationalism.

If you've ever wondered what kinds of nuclear companies the Trump administration has in mind to power all the AI data centers, I just wrote about one: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
