It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

They are always so spot on with the joke at The Oni....ohh.

wut? So far off.

In the past week I have agreed with both Rand Paul and Marjorie Taylor Greene what is happening

Brown liquid...hm...what could it be? Help me out, NYT.

Also, give No Kings Day the coverage it deserves.

No Kings is the 7th story on the #NYT website right now, after 3 on George Santos and a piece about Trump's deep thoughts on the shutdown. Millions of people turn out to protest and that's where you rank it? C'mon.

Bought some today. I paid 2x as much to buy American, but it seemed necessary under the circumstances.

Somehow this is the Dem's fault? When all three branches are controlled by Republicans?

Do not cave this time.

Don't cave.

EARHARDT: We have radicals on the right as well. How do we fix this country?

TRUMP: I'll tell you something that's gonna get me in trouble but I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem.

The word "intellectual" is trying to do a very heavy lift here.

I am just so furious over not being able to schedule a COVID vaccine. Do individual states have the ability to do anything different than follow these terrible new guidelines? C'mon, Gavin, let's show them.

Screenshot from New York times mobile app. The headline reads transportation department to take over Washington Union station, Duffy says. A section of the subhead reading "latest move to crackdown on crime " is underlined

C'mon, NYT, do better.

It's a sad statement on the state of things that I was prepared to believe this for about five seconds until I realized the source.

And stalagmites have to be "mighty" to push up from the ground. Heard it once and have never forgotten.

Is there a significant influx of liberal K-12 teachers wanting to move to Oklahoma? This test may not get much use.

(which many say smells weird) Perfection.

For Some, Return of Presidential Fitness Test Revives Painful Memories

This Is just sad. Instead of helping me learn how to be healthy within my particular body, this test taught me that "physical fitness" was unobtainable and a source of public embarrassment. I hope the new version is kinder.

Me. Learned about a new (to me!)author and have purchased two audiobooks as a result. But I will add that that particular author's account doesn't focus on their books. I enjoyed the person's posts and figured I'd enjoy their books, too.

In fairness, in 30 years of being around academia I've met I think two people who could mostly fit this description. Neither of them is still in the profession.

And what's his beef with Helvetica?

All the 2028 Dem presidential candidates better run on packing the court. It's the only way out of this disaster. The court already had zero credibility, so destroying that by adding four more justices isn't an issue.

Letting the receiver hang and spin to untwist the Very Long cord that allowed you to (just barely) go into your room and close the door. If you were very lucky you got a line in your room for your birthday in your early teens.

That this managed to break through the same day that heinous budget bill passed... we're in trouble.

This just happened to me today. Between her artificially ageless mug and losing a corkscrew I accidentally left on my carry on, TSA trauma is real.

That meal is exactly correct.

That's the best you can do? Ask for an apology?
