Trump has made the Oval Office look like a whorehouse.
Which, I suppose, is appropriate.

Russia wants "peace" in Ukraine the exact same way an abusive husband just wants a "happy marriage."

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Trust in Trump with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths.

And who determines what the executive’s legitimate power is, JD? The executive?! Come on.

Let me put it in terms you’d get. It’s like football. The judges are the refs, and they say whether you’re in or out of bounds. And Musk is waaaaaay out of bounds with these takeovers of our systems.

Fentanyl doesn't kill people. People kill people.

In a world of sycophants, be a Mariann Budde.

At the epicenter of a cosmic battle between the forces of good and evil, Brenda didn't realize till later that Satan had caused the milk to spoil, resulting in gastro-intestinal issues for the entire family.

Playing it was a blast!!

It’s official: 2024 was the hottest year on record, breaking the previous record set in 2023 and pushing the world over a critical climate threshold, according to new data from Europe’s climate monitoring agency Copernicus.

Jupiter’s icy moon Europa, with brown cracks visible on its surface.

ME: Hello Darkness, my old friend.

DARKNESS: We went out for wings *once*

Here's the difference between stuffing and dressing:

Stuffing is cooked inside the turkey.
Dressing is cooked in a baking dish.

Wow! It’s happening!

It's interesting to me that my Trump-supporting friends are vilifying Biden for potentially escalating the Russia/Ukraine conflict, but have no problem with Israel escalating the Gaza conflict. Double standards anyone?

I don’t care what anyone says it isn’t too early to put up your shrimp tree 🎄🍤

So far, my favorite thing about Bluesky is that I don't feel compelled to tell anyone that vaccines don't change your DNA.

Remember when Trump vowed in the first presidential debate that if elected president, he would end the war in Ukraine even before taking office in January?

I'm really excited about that.
