The photo contains text that reads: Mr. Speaker, be brave. Open up the government. The rally isn't until next Saturday, not a Congressional business day. Besides, I have it on good authority that Antifa is an arm of KAOS, but I don't trust official communication lines. Call me on your shoe phone once you're securely under the Cone of Silence.

How easy is it to distract me? The announcer tells me that the pitcher just threw a four-seam fastball, and my mind objects because it's all one continuous seam.

Currently, Oklahoman ranks 49th in healthcare. This is horrible for the residents of the state.

A smiling blonde woman in a white sweatshirt wih the logo TK on the chest poses in front of the White House as part of her merchandising campaign.

Trump's granddaughter, Kai Trump, is selling $130 sweatshirts from the Washington, D.C. Tesla sales lot.

Just tell me what to avoid during pregnancy that would protect a child from RFKJrism, DJTrumpism, or similar conditions.

Cardinal Dolan said Charlie Kirk was a modern-day Saint Paul and I was mad at first but then I realized it's true. Kirk took the loving message of Jesus and ossified it into self-serving empire-building and weird sexual hangups.

The cast of Downton Abbey who portray rich people assemble in 1930s era evening dress.

I'm escaping tomorrow to the Downton Abbey movie. I hear that the Crawleys sell their estate, liquidate their assets, and distribute the money to their overworked, undercompensated, and now unemployed servants to help them get through the Depression now that their careers are obsolete.

Johnson backs off claim that Trump was an ‘FBI informant’ in Epstein case The statements from the speaker come as Democrats and a small number of Republicans are pushing for legislation to compel the release of more files on Jeffrey Epstein.

A perfectly understandable error, mistaking "between the sheets" with "undercover."

US Open asks broadcasters to avoid crowd reactions to Trump during men’s finals match | CNN Business Whether Trump is met by jeers or cheers at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sunday, the US Tennis Association says it wants the focus to be on the court.

Corollary: It's our patriotic duty to be healthy, so being ill or less able is unpatriotic.

There's a reason why no major player in this administration has a disability or infirmity.

Wow!

The picture is a screen capture of text from the article. It reads: So far, officials in the city of 25,000 have shown little interest in publicly digging into the details of what could be one of the largest development projects in state history—one that would require the clearcutting of more than 100 acres of land, threaten endangered species and lead to large increases in water and electricity usage. Instead, public officials, many bound by non-disclosure agreements with the developer, have relied on the assertions of the company proposing the project—a company that has so far refused to answer media questions about the impact of their plans on the community and the environment.

You know who shouldn't sign non-disclosure agreements with private entities? Public officials, who are supposed to act in the public interest.

Republicans push to name Kennedy Center’s opera house after Melania Trump Republicans like to give things politically satisfying names and push sycophantic pro-Trump bills. The Kennedy Center’s opera house idea checks both boxes.

I'll consider calling it the Melania Trump Opera House only after she takes the witness stand during the trial for Trump's many serious crimes, waives all privileges and deals, and sings.

I dreamed that two grocery store chains, Bob's and Stockwell, had merged. To celebrate, they were sponsoring a three-day festival at a farm and calling it Bobstock. They anticipated tens of thousands of attendees who would camp out, drop acid, and listen to Muzak.

Translation: Putin must have his own copy of the Epstein files.

Russia-U.S. trade has been effectively throttled since the beginning of Russia's attack of Ukraine, so threatening tariffs -- especially after a 50-day delay -- is a hollow whisper, not a shout.

Four pictures of men associated with the current regime are joined in one larger rectangle. The men all wear dark suits, white shirts, and dark red ties. Below each man is a single word caption. From left to right, Stephen Miller, "Solitary"; J.D. Vance, "Nasty"; Donald Trump, "Brutish"; and Mike Johnson, "Short."

I'm still a bit disappointed that Bezos isn't marrying an Amazon.

This is a screen capture of a New York Times headline: "What to Know About the Wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez." A subhead reads, "The second marriage for both is taking place in Venice, Italy, under a shroud of secrecy and amid a swarm of speculation." Below that is a photo of Ms. Sanchez in a low cut red gown and Mt. Bezos in a tuxedo, posed before an event background.

Less.

No, really, is there a way that I can know less about this than I do now?

Any god that punishes doubt more than cruelty has a serious confidence problem.
