Right wingers must not have liked Charlie Kirk. None of them is sending any thoughts and prayers.

Or so you think. Wait until it gets to scotus

what was the estimate for the Trump parade? I am not seeing any hard numbers on that one, just general characterizations of it as "sparse."

Does anyone know how many attendees there were? Lots of characterizations, but the coverage is notable for the lack of any actual estimates of attendance, at least as far as I can determine from searches.

How many people showed up at the parade? I am seeing numbers for the No Kings rallies, but no actual crowd estimates for the DC birthday party. It's as if everyone is afraid to say the number aloud, or something like that.

Looking in vain, so far, for an actual crowd estimate. Plenty of characterizations, but I'm not finding any, what do they call them....numbers.

Has anyone in the media published any kind of estimate for crowd size at the Trump parade? Lots of stories saying it was below 200k or sparse, or whatever, but I cannot find an actual crowd size estimate like we ALWAYS see. WTF is going on?

Bug or feature?

More Father's Day musings: Why is it Father’s Day and not Dad’s Day? I don’t know anyone who walks in the door and yells, “Father, I’m home.” “Dad” is so much friendlier and warm, although I’d stop there. “Daddy” would just seem to cross a line or two. Or three.

Father's Day puzzle: What to buy a WFH dad? No ties, and he already has a “#1 Dad” coffee cup…I see why people pass along gift cards like last year’s fruitcake. WFH is great, though. No fights on the day after FD when two guys show up with identical “World’s Best Dad” coffee cups.

Another Father's Day question: Does anyone hire a physical trainer to help them get a dad bod? Can a dad bod ever be a turn-on, even if it’s only to women who are tired of grandfather bods?

Asking for a friend.

Democrats just cannot admit that they need a lot more feck.

If dad spends Sunday morning playing golf and then he takes a nap while mom makes dinner, how will he know it’s Father’s Day?

This will not end well, and my right-wing Jewish friends will be the most surprised by the obvious.

They finally shared in the experience of the common folk and you're complaining about that, too?

(ICYMI, some posts are humorous or ironic or sarcastic, not always to be taken seriously, says the guy who has been on the internet for wayyyy too long.)

when was there a pretense of ethics? I must have missed that tweet.

We can't remember their sacrifice The flash of white pulled me away from the conversation as I refocused on the rows of crosses along the countryside. The uniformity and precise alignment of the memorials announced a military...

And then there are the people we lost who left no mourners behind.

If Dems were smart, and I know this is a stretch, they'd rebroadcast/repost these interviews continuously where people are most affected, along with names of reps who voted for it. Instead, they will allow time to pass and give those reps enough cover to claim any problems are caused by Dems.

And then, one day, it just disappeared (from HHS websites), like magic.

The honored dead that nobody mourns this holiday...

It is so important not to show favoritism to any of your children. Way to go, mom!!

Because it works.

Respect is always earned, even if we treat people as if we anticipate that they will, in fact, earn it. Consideration and an assumption of good will can be given, and should be, by decent people. Not sure where there's a disadvantage.

Commit the crime just before publication, not after the first draft, because you need the publicity to goose sales.

Exactly who came up with that idea? The real innovators, my favorite barfly, and the hidden sex appeal of eggs are all haunting me this week. They can be haunting you, too, if you read on… O’ PIONEERS! Every so often, I wonder...

Eggs just have more rizz than potatoes, I guess...

No need to imagine.

Nothing makes a woman hotter than being told she has a well optimized interface.

Wake me when it's a crisis crisis I’m cleaning out some old emails and there’s a note from a guy about getting out of New Orleans the day before the terrorist attack. Huh? Oh, yeah, there was a terrorist attack—some guy ramming...

When everything is a crisis, nothing is a crisis, and that's the goal for the people creating the real chaos.

Happy Mothers Day, known in literary circles as the Day of Confused Apostrophes. Is it for all mothers, so it's Mothers’ Day, or for individual mothers, as in Mother’s Day? It it's only for happy mothers, it's Happy-Mothers Day? Or maybe nobody owns it, so it's just Mothers Day. I'm so confused.

I want to run a federal agency, so I'm applying for a job at Fox News.
