Not enough of you believe me right now, but "Rebuild The White House" is going to become one of the most popular slogans in American political history

Isn't Americana the subcategory of country where many of the artists absolutely loathe Trump? Think Margo Price, Orville Peck, etc.

When you realize irrelevance is equivalent to death to these people, the persecution affectation/complex makes much more sense.

I will forever stan Don't Trust the B in Apt 23.

Back in like February of 2017, my husband and I drove alongside Ivanka's entourage up I-95 from the DC suburbs as they were actually going to Baltimore for some monster truck show. The one good glimpse I got of her agents showed that they were all wearing gingham shirts.

That might make them feel like they've done something wrong, and there's nothing worse than being accused of being a bad person, as we all know.

Given that this was an early birthday present for him, I really want to think that I conjured it up, but I will happily accept it being an Easter egg of the tour. Regardless, I'm eternally grateful for the wonderful experience that was this show.

I would very much like to thank @themountaingoats.bsky.social for playing "International Small Arms Traffic Blues" yesterday at the Baltimore show. Was I singing it while I was getting ready? Yes. Was it played to my husband's shock and delight? Yes. Was it on the official set list? No!

I don't think most Americans realize how hard tariffs are about to hit them. The combination of 1) escalating tariffs, 2) companies slowly passing the cost to consumers, and 3) the repeal of the de minimis exemption in the Big Beautiful Bill, a lot stuff will be more expensive in 2027.

I got one as soon as I got ahold of my childhood vax record and confirmed I only had one dose.

I've treated my writing practice to be as important as my workouts for years, and now I'm doubling down on that mentality.

Here's hoping it becomes the standard operating procedure sooner rather than later!

The end of the article where he says his sous chefs don't want to talk to him about dish ideas so he uses ChatGPT all night is *so* telling.

Unfollowed a cooking YouTuber I used to like after he kept using AI for silly/gimmicky reasons which felt so antithetical to his style of Italian cooking.

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

This is a deeply-satisfying piece of journalism and it will live rent-free in my head for quite a while.

I'm pretty sure I had a professional tactical driver take me from LAX to DTLA via Uber once because he went so fast and it was the smoothest ride I ever had. As soon as we got on the highway, we didn't stop until we exited and I'm pretty sure he went like 90 the entire time.

Car Smashes Into Billy Corgan’s Tea Shop For The Second Time In Six Months On the 1998 Smashing Pumpkins song “Ava Adore,” Billy Corgan sings this line: “In you, I crash cars.” People probably shouldn’t take that so literally. Famously, Corgan is the owner of Madame Zuzu’s, ...

🎶Despite all my pleas cars still won't stop smashing my teas 🎵

It's the new punch-buggy game! I know I do it when I pass one.

The founder's shitty takes on BLM led a lot of affiliates to drop CF, but even before then CF was giving away Glocks to the winners of the CrossFit Games.

Something I first learned from Sweet Liberty Drinks & Supply in South Beach, Miami: always garnish your caramelized onion dip with caviar. Personally, I love some wild salmon roe. 🍜

Well isn't this the cutest family crew?? 🥰🥰🥰

Navy feels a bit more Mary Quant anyway!

I was served the @contrapoints.bsky.social Incels video essay on YouTube five-ish years ago and it was like touching the monolith.

When the opposition is rejoicing in reclaiming slurs, profanity is not only justified, but necessary.

Same!! I want more of this and Senator Booker's energy throughout the Dem caucus!

It's giving me New Apostolic Reformation vibes, which is big into the concept of "spiritual warfare" that can turn into actual violence.
