Hmmmm, harder to do anti-elite posturing than you thought, huh? Perhaps you are also… harboring business travelers from major metropolitan areas in your own party?

What if, though — and I’m being completely serious here — the entire Trump cabinet thinks their actual job, for which the public is paying them, is to praise Trump, rage-farm, get on tv, and “own the libs?”

French photographer, painter and poet Dora Maar, whose career was defined by reinvention and experimentation right up until the 1980s.

Photo of kingfisher perched on a branch. Description from ebird: ‘A small, dashing kingfisher of forested lowland and foothill streams and ponds on Mindanao and neighboring islands. Overall dark blue in color, slightly paler below, with a white throat and belly, a white patch behind the cheek, and a white spot behind the nostril. Note the pale silvery-blue stripe down the back to the tail, the whitish flecks on the head and wing, and the bright red legs. Unmistakable. Voice is a simple, high-pitched “tseep,” often given in flight.’

At some point we have to face the sad truth that this array of Administration miscreants are living their HS fantasies. Under what other circumstances would a group of athletes welcome this guy into a locker room celebration?

A sticker seen today, 22 February 2026, on the back of a street sign. The text reads "Bring Back the Guillotine," paired with a photo of what appears to be a smiling Elon Musk.

Perhaps I live a sheltered life, but I had never seen this sticker before today. It was affixed to a public street sign nextdoor to Boston.

Still too high for any rational nation.

"It was always just really reassuring to see Robert Duvall show up in something." In some ways that's the greatest praise you could give an actor. ICYMI @sonnybunch.bsky.social:

Chief Justice John Roberts deserves every bit of criticism he gets from Edwin here.

Decent Americans like Canada. Assholes don't.

this is hilarious. clearly an impersonator. but it's so good.

If you’re wondering why most of the world hates the United States these days, and was cheering for Canada. This is from the White House, for God’s sake.

bibliogato - I checked my my bank account this morning and the little treats must stop immediately. But unfortunately I also checked the news this morning and the little treats must continue indefinitely.

It’s none of my business what’s left in there

Why is he so bad at this? Serious question.

Orion looking pretty tonight sitting majestically over Glastonbury Tor. A reminder that there is so much beauty and power in the world around us. Moon sitting top right so it's not me on a ladder with a spotlight. 😂

I'll share one purely anecdotal thing: When I ask Academy members not who they're voting for but what name they'd like to hear read when the envelope is opened, what I hear again and again is, Ethan Hawke or Wagner Moura. Of course Chalamet could win, or DiCaprio, but nobody feels either is owed.

Horrifyingly familiar. It is clear to me now that being soulless & cruel is, for millions of people, their default factory setting. Only imposing strong laws, unbending norms, & personal consequences will hold their worse impulses in check.

And then we risk becoming monsters ourselves.

You mean the guy who still can't find an 82 year-old woman taken from her home?

@Meacham on x these guys wanna make america "healthy" [gross pics of rfk jr & trump]

Step one: redefine healthy.

Since Team USA admitted they got outplayed offensively by Team Canada (it was their excellent goalie that saved the game for them), rather than a tough looking eagle in Trump’s classless image, it probably should have been a weaker looking bird with a force field.

Next time.

STOP THE SAVE ACT (Updated)
My new piece is up with lots of info about the SAVE America Act - the version of the SAVE Act that passed the House and is before the Senate this week. This is a MUST READ and then ACT.

Remember, when news outlets first reported that Kash Patel was spending $75,000 of taxpayer money to fly an FBI Gulfstream jet to Milan so he could watch Olympic hockey, the official spokesasshole for the FBI had this to say:

At the very least, Kash Patel's corrupt grifting reign at the FBI should forever end the stupid practice of Democratic presidents feeling they had to appoint a Republican there.

"ICE agents are the equivalent of cartel hitmen" is a wild take, but Mike Lee is here for it.

Hope every city these players play for in the NHL, especially the blue cities & Canadian cities, remember this scene. Like Ottawa, where Brady Tkachuk will return as team captain despite his stated “hatred” for Team Canada. Nice of them to share a gold medal with Trump’s corrupt FBI director.
