Mustache - yes or no. USE THE EVIDENCE TO DECIDE

Imagine an alien landed and you needed to explain modern "American Conservative Christianity." Their attitudes, assumptions, beliefs, and actions are antithetical to every one of Jesus' teachings. They are comically villainous, but believe they're... the good guys? It's inexplicable.

Obviously this is horrible, immoral, totally heinous stuff that's impeachable in and of itself. But what we should NEVER lose sight of are the ghouls smiling along as he quips – each of whom wholeheartedly believes they're a good person who will go to Heaven.

Donald Trump has a SHOCKING amount in common with elementary school kids, who will talk a lot of talk in front of their friends but fold like tissue paper if you actually look them in the eyes one-on-one and ask them to explain themselves.

Hence why I referenced this last night

Trump’s obsession with getting to Heaven and getting a Nobel Peace Prize could actually be useful if he were like, “Hey, universal healthcare would save millions of lives, and if *I* say it’s a good idea the GOP will agree! And the world will actually get better!” But. Nah.

Expanding Epic Universe – An Armchair-Imagineered Build-Out An armchair Imagineering plan to expand Universal Epic Universe theme park with new attractions, rides, and worlds...!

It sure sounds like Epic Universe would benefit from a very intentional, steady expansion of its reliability and capacity, pulsing an army of well-themed flat rides into the park… 👀 parklore.com/main/buildout-ueu

It seemed that way in January 2021, too! 😭

Unfortunately, Trump being underwater in approval doesn’t matter if even the conservatives who don’t approve of him would not vote for a democrat at best, and would still vote for him for a third unconstitutional term at worst.

Actually a hilariously good analysis of public response to Trump himself – see major, foundational, structural issues that could literally bring the building down, but fill the crack and paint it. bsky.app/profile/atru...

A good reminder that LLMs are not literally “thinking.” They are not “intelligent.” They are Smarter Child from AIM, but with the ability to scrape Facebook to determine sentence structure.

Woke data! Fake news! The economy is BOOMING! 😎

My Taco Bell accidentally hooked up the new Mountain Dew Baja Midnight early, ama #tacobell #bajablast #bajamidnight

I work with children and this is literally what children do, including that they leave thinking, "I really got 'em. I won, and there's no doubt about it!" bsky.app/profile/kenk...

Too bad it’s de facto illegal to teach intersectionality or good old fashioned empathy or maybe we could understand why someone would dare take actions that don’t immediately or obviously demonstrate blind allegiance to their “own people” 🤮

What matters is that Cuomo and all the people who endorsed him are still going to claim they're the rightful heirs to the Democratic Party, how dare young people challenge them, all of that.

The difference is they're now just unaffiliated lunatics, banging on the windows. They're not the party.

I feel like somewhere in his brain, this is him thinking about the autopen situation he's trying to raise with Biden? Like, if he puts that at the end of a tweet, it's like a wax seal or a signature or a fingerprint that makes it official? You never know what noodles are connecting in that head.

Amazing that a statistically significant number of Republicans went, "Hey, y'know what, I know gay people! And they got married, and it's okay! It's weird I was against that."

...

"Oh wait, no it's not. I'm against it."

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

If anyone else – ANYONE else – did step one, they would immediately reverse course. Only Trump would do both of those steps.

We’re in such a uniquely Trumpian situation.

Only Trump would flagrantly decide that only he had the answer and all financial experts who said it wouldn’t work were just dumber than him.

Only Trump, upon seeing the results experts predicted, would say “well, don’t believe your eyes. It’ll work.”

Trump47 saw Trump45 unanimously ranked as the worst president by academics, historians, and those who study and revere the institution of the presidency and said “I can do worse.” And by god, he’s done it. THAT’S determination.

Thank you! Heading down to the parks next week to celebrate 😎 Reservations at the Carthay Circle because you only turn 34 once!

Thank you thank you! There really is no gayer birthday than April 26th you know?

Thank you! 😊

And that’s a person with employer-provided healthcare saying, “yknow what? I haven’t been a doctor in a few years. I should get a check up and establish some baselines with bloodwork.” It cost me $105 on top of monthly premiums. Why would I return again? How would I survive if I was ill?
