Dr David Bowie

Please tell me that there is at least a little appreciation for the irony that the person (wrongly) claiming that "nobody understands a word" that Bad Bunny said at the Super Bowl halftime show is the exact same person who gave us "covfefe"

That dude, he doth protest too much, methinks

As for me, i'm just waiting to see what genre das Horst-W—sorry, bit of a typo there, my bad—what genre the Charlie-Kirk-Lied is going to be when it drops.

With Jimmy Carter now gone, this might be the proper time to remind everyone of his accomplishments in the endgame of the Cold War, which have been unjustly overlooked.

This is particularly relevant precisely at this moment in history. So, a few words on that, and a thread follows.

I hadn't really cared who won this year's Super Bowl, but dang, i just realized how sweet it's gonna be to get to watch all the Taylor Swift haters and antivaxxers cry publicly on social media, and i discovered that maybe i had a cheering interest after all.

The number of Serious Football Fans™ who are busily posting on social media today about the horror that a woman they know the name of will probably be a guest in a Super Bowl skybox is just nothing but weird. Like, can y'all even hear what you sound like?

Oh dear, i hadn't known anything like this was going on for you! Here's hoping it can get figured out and properly treated, and quickly🤞
