Even sex traffickers think Musk is a creepy weirdo.

What a time to be alive.

My new favorite review of the Melania movie is โ€œIโ€™d rather re-watch January 6thโ€ฆโ€

This administration is arresting journalists and mainstream media outlets respond by writing about Nicki Minaj.

What a time to be alive.

The NRA โ€œDonโ€™t Tread On Meโ€ bros must all be in Greenland.

Imagine arming all the bros who think the stripper likes them.

"Our democratic 'norms' now seem to be conjured up by a ouija board...." The goal, forever and always, is to get people to stop talking about the Epstein files.

โ€œTrump created a โ€œboard of peaceโ€ to oversee the reconstruction of Gaza and invited Netanyahu to be on itโ€ฆ.which is a bit like asking Paul Tibbets to oversee the rebuilding of Hiroshimaโ€ฆโ€

Weโ€™re getting really close to the โ€œshow us your papersโ€ page in the playbook.

MAGA went from โ€œheโ€™s gonna lower the price of groceriesโ€ to the Marie Antoinette-ish suggestion that their dinners should consist of a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, and a corn tortillaโ€ฆ.all in a few dozen Scaramuccis.

I just heard somebody refer to Miller Lite as the โ€œofficial beer of weekend custodyโ€ and itโ€™s this sort of thing that gives me hope for America.

In retrospect, Scottie Scheffler is lucky he didnโ€™t get shot in the head.

To be fairโ€ฆ.shooting a woman 3 times in the face while saying โ€œfuck you bitchโ€ is peak evangelical Christianity energy.

Nobody has acquiesced to a tyrannical government faster than the NRA bros with the โ€œDonโ€™t Tread On Meโ€ flags hanging from their porches.

"...within minutes comment sections were filled with the sort of armchair gibberish Iโ€™ve come to expect from guys I went to high school with who still live with their Moms..." Iโ€™m tired, boss.

Murdering someone โ€œin self defenseโ€ by shooting them in the head as they are moving away from you is an interesting take on โ€œlaw and orderโ€. Doing so while dozens of cell phone videos have you in their crosshairs is hard on that narrativeโ€ฆ.a bit like tectonic plates gnashing themselves togetherโ€ฆ.

Renee Nicole Goodโ€™s dog was in the car with her when she was murdered by an ICE agent.

I donโ€™t know why that makes it worse, but it does.

Somebody just suggested that September 8th be designated โ€œMike Tomlin Dayโ€ and this might be the greatest thing ever.

"I ainโ€™t feeling it this year...." Itโ€™s Christmas Eve.

โ€œI recently learned that Bob Cratchit earned 15 shillings a week in A Christmas Carol, which, adjusted for inflation would be around $20+ per hour today, so our minimum wage earners have it MUCH worse than a worker in a 19th century Dickensian horror story about squalid destitution..โ€
