Thanksgiving dinner this year is going to cost sooo much less. Thank you, Trump!

#Abbott wants a 100% tariff on anyone moving from #NYC to Texas. A tariff on what? The person? So if you move to Texas, you must bring a friend? Who in turn must also bring a friend, creating an infinite cascade. Does Abbott want all New Yorkers in Texas? Or is he just not thinking? You decide.

How to Use the Em Dash Correctly The overuse of the em dash has become a common complaint in AI-generated text. Does this mean we should stop using this punctuation mark?

If Trump wants to be viewed as a peacemaker, maybe he should stop trying to start wars in U.S. cities.

Maybe everyone aboard commercial fishing boats could just go play a round of golf instead. Because, you know, they don't have to earn a living or anything.

For the #parade, the Pentagon should mail #Trump two G.I. Joes with a letter stating that they wish they could have given him thirty, but for the #tariffs.
