Since 2015, Trump has never been able to turn out his low-political engagement voters (who are very hard to reach in polls) in elections when his name is not on the ballot. The pattern continues.

Donald Trump appeared to describe a dementia screening he underwent at Walter Reed Medical Center as a 'very hard' IQ test while speaking with reporters inside Air Force One

The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

The main achievement of the tech industry has been increasing the flow of money from people who make or do things to people who already have more money than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes

Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

this exists it is called thinking

Robert Redford, Activist, Actor, Director, and Sundance Leader, Dead at 89 Redford's golden boy aura made him perfect for roles like "The Great Gatsby" and "The Way We Were," but cost him others like "The Graduate."

Rest in peace Robert Redford.

I’m just saying that when it happens I’m jumping out of bed, running to my window, and tossing a coin to a boy to buy the biggest goose in town

I mean when Democrats keep overperforming in special elections in Iowa by 24 points, Republicans running for the hills is expected. It won't wash out the "we're all going to die" energy of Iowa Republicans

a post from someone named Daniel Pewewardy captioned: Customer service interactions don't always have to be transactional" blah blah, that's not the point. The photo is a likely AI-generated cutesy cartoon that is unmistakeably the coin toss scene from No Country For Old Men

is that what i think it is

Pretty easy accomplishment given how low the bar is.

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

One of my many fears is that the next Democratic president will spend too much time talking about "the importance of not dwelling on the past" instead of prosecuting every single one of the people responsible for this nightmare.

Maybe quit voting for their fucking bills then? Maybe quit confirming their nominees? Maybe shut down the Senate with the many procedural tools available to you? Maybe do something other than send sternly worded letters?

Bob Dylan turns 84 today.

Cheers to George Wendt, World’s Greatest Barfly How he made Norm Peterson into TV’s Everyman.

“It’s mostly true that drama is about people changing, while comedy is about how people never change. Norm was one of the best and funniest examples of that principle.” — I wrote about the great George Wendt www.vulture.com/article/geor...

The Bloomberg headline is real: "Why Trump Is Good News for Gulf Nations" I have helpfully added, "It's because he's corrupt as shit, as are the authoritarian rulers of those countries."

News organizations loathe covering their own scandals. This is how it’s done.

I wonder what my old friend the Chicken Man is up to these days. Does he still live in Philly? I hope he’s doing okay. Now to relax and listen to this new Bruce Springsteen album

(To the tune of the hook from "Kilo" by Ghostface Killah)

All around the world today, a tariff is a sales tax.
A tariff is a tax we pay - makes things more expensive

I'm 18. The economy enters a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican president is responsible.

I'm 29. There is once-in-a-century pandemic that leads to a once-in-century-recession. A Republican is responsible.

I'm 35. Tarriffs trigger a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican is responsible.

He’s turning 79 in June, it would be like the old Soviet Union if he stayed President until age 87 and at this point he’s become so annoying to the Supreme Court that they would uphold the law

lol this mustve been a blast to edit

Probably shouldn’t have put everyone’s Social Security checks in there

man, it really is a lot like this tho

@elonmusk: Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

time to dig up the @adamkotsko.bsky.social tweet

Elon Musk is a terrible president.
