Eight Famous Poems Rewritten by Your Asshole Cat “This is Just to Say” I have eaten the eggs that were on the counter which you were probably saving for breakfast. They weren’t moist or savory lik...

“Hope” is the thing with feathers –
That perches in the cage –
And sings the taunting songs –
That never stop –

Yet, tonight, tonight –
When you sleep –
I will eat it.

The Safe House (#388) My neighborhood, which is flat with sidewalks, became super popular for trick-or-treating about a decade ago. Families drove in from other areas of LA, parked at the nearby schools, and made the ro…

Squish in there, Chicago!

Yes, it definitely seems like a scam to get everyone to pay for "premium" services.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump ト George Santos was somewhat of a "rogue," but there are many rogues throughout our Country that aren't forced to serve seven years in prison. I

Welcome to WordPress Prison (#387) I don’t post as much as I once did. I still follow more prolific bloggers. New posts show up in my WordPress Reader daily. I like them and comment on them. The original blogger mostly responds. How…

We went from taking out terrorists to terrorizing hotel staff. What a downgrade.

Are we great yet?

Worst timeline continues rampage.

I think a lot about a point @joereid.bsky.social has made - that the movie barons of yesteryear, scummy as they were, also considered themselves great patrons of the arts who wanted to produce and have a legacy. Today’s billionaires just want line-go-up and nobody-allowed-to-criticize-me.

I’m guessing Jeff Bezos isn’t going to love my op ed about how one of the preconditions for a free market is that you have enough players in the market that nobody has market-defining share.

Nearly 40% of contracts canceled by DOGE are expected to produce no savings Nearly 40% of the federal contracts that the Trump administration claims to have canceled as part of its signature cost-cutting program aren’t expected to save any money.

"Nearly 40% of the federal contracts that the Trump administration claims to have canceled as part of its signature cost-cutting program aren’t expected to save the government any money, the administration’s own data shows."

The Pollard row double decker bus stop shelter in London bears a ad reading, “Goes from zero to nineteen thirty nine to in three seconds. Tesla. The Swasticar” with a picture of Elon Misk giving a Nazi salute out of the moonroof of a white Tesla.

Enjoy the UK slicing up Elon in a mass ad campaign as a timeline cleanse

Wealthy people pay others to do tedious or difficult essential labor, but this leaves them with none of the traditional markers of gender identity they covet and so they compensate for this insecurity with exaggerated performances of masculinity and femininity bsky.app/profile/kevi...

Democracy is Crumbling. Is Anybody Doing Anything? Yes. And You Can Too.

Yes. “People are doing things. You will meet them when YOU start doing things.”

jourdain searles @judysquirrels I'll vote for whoever will come at the republicans like kendrick went for drake. i'm not joking either. give me that energy or shut up. don't email me. don't text me. don't ask me for anything.

This is it. This is the take.

And it's not even 7:30. In the morning.

Yet another day where I can't decide if I am sad or glad that I hate the taste of alcohol.

Trump says the U.S. will 'take over' Gaza and relocate its people. What does it mean? It wasn't immediately clear what legal authority Trump would have to execute his proposals, and they would likely be met by fierce resistance from Palestinians and from regional Arab countries.

On a separate note, media, if you’re writing “it wasn’t immediately clear what legal authority [Trump/Musk/crony] would have” to do something unhinged and ridiculously evil, let me save you some research:

The answer is “none.” They have no legal authority to do any of this.

Please just say that.

People are trying to engage politely with a coup.

This is the weirdest timeline.

BE AN ASSHOLE, PLEASE.

Republicans ran into the room to SHEILD Elon Musk from having to come and speak to Congress. They want their billionaire takeover done behind closed doors. The people deserve transparency. No one elected Elon Musk.

1. Watch this closely: Lawmakers in Congress have long been pushing for more flights into DC's National Airport, even as air-safety advocates argued the airport was stressed to capacity. Kansas GOP Sen. Jerry Moran was a leading advocate for the non-stop Wichita-to-DC flight added in January 2024

REPORTER: Is there an acting FAA director?

DUFFY: *walks away*


(The FAA director resigned on the day of Trump's inauguration under pressure from Elon Musk)

There are so many things I absolutely hate about this.

Like, a concentration camp not technically on US soil so we can commit horrific atrocities really fucking sucks.

Also, Gitmo should not still exist. It is a travesty that it does and I extremely blame everyone who allowed it to continue.
