My high school prom theme song.

That’s my assignment for tomorrow night! Would love a recipe referral…

Ah, Russian logic.

The President Is Losing Control of Himself Donald Trump’s outbursts on social media this week were different than usual.

This is a new and dire development in the ongoing American constitutional crisis. The voters, Congress, and, yes, the U.S. military must all now be more vigilant than at any time in our modern history.

The word “testing,” as the kids say, is doing a ton of work here.

This is what happens when the people running the economy never have to live in it.

This is, of course, a fascinating thread from Kate asking why Google is effectively cannibalizing its own market for both digital ads on third party properties and search ads, by effectively taking away the incentive to click through to third party sites. I have a theory as to why they're doing it.

For my NCR friends; get some earplugs tonight.

Perhaps I’m missing something, but weren’t those intermediary sites just one example of the “enshittification” of the Internet I’ve been reading about…? :)

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

I'm thinking today of all my fellow veterans but especially the more than 5,000 trans service members and their families who were kicked out of the military this year despite being highly qualified and serving honorably. This injustice will be a stain on our nation's history.

@benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org This needs more exposure.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

Character isn't something you tell people about.

It's something you live.

New York Times editorial board has compiled "a list of 12 markers of democratic erosion." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This is what "not the odds, but the stakes" was all about.

During the 2024 campaign, those 12 markers could have been in place and operating to guide news coverage everywhere.

There are children on the White House payroll spending their days creating these cartoons - while career professionals petition food banks to feed THEIR children as the White House wants them to starve and lose health care.

We had a good run, America. Mostly.

Who knew we’d miss Congress?

I’m not saying I’m imagining the future of the White House “ballroom” is as a giant garden and arboretum run by the Smithsonian and open to the public - I’m just saying that helps me sleep at night right now.

Don’t take if you’re allergic to whatever we put into this.

Sure, he killed my wife and kids, but he left me the most fluffy omelette. I need that recipe.

The spite must flow.
