Crikey! MY EARS!!!!

I accidentally clicked that while scrolling and, dammit, now my ears are hurting!!

Polymarket tweets: "BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani to require all New York elementary school students to learn Arabic numerals." Laura Loomer replies: "You know things are bad when you can't tell if this is real or a joke. Dear God. It's real. Isn't it?"

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

🤣😳😱

I don’t believe in ghosts but my two-hundred year old New England farmhouse sure does.

Of course, the real cost would likely be $4b+, because when Donald Ozymandias Trump is gone, we are going to have to change all that stuff back to “Department of Defense”.

Just like we are going to have to bulldoze the Epstein Ballroom at the White House…

Trump really, really needs to hope that there is no Hell.

I mean like ditch, the evangelicals and switch to a religion which has no concept of karma or eternal reward/punishment for one’s deeds during life.

To be honest, atheism is probably his best hope to avoid eternal punishment, at this point.

They both take themselves to be Very Smart People, too.

And as Very Smart People, they can recognize that Elon Musk is not only a Very Smartest Person, but also a Completely Honest Person, who means what he says.

This is why FSD rolled out 8 years ago and I’m posting this for Mars Colony One…

a man in a suit and tie is sitting in a red chair with his hand on his chin Alt: Cinema Paradiso: A grown Salvatore Di Vita watches all of the movie clips that his childhood friend, mentor, and surrogate father, Alfredo, saved from destruction, when they were censored in the theater, when he was a child. He smiles has scene after scene of couples kissing unfolds on the screen.

The real War On Christmas… surging prices, brought to you by Donald J Trump, AKA Mr Tariffs, AKA Mr Bankruptcies 5/Felonies 34, AKA Mr Are You Going To Believe ME Or Your Own Lyon’ Eyes?!?

Truth! VoTech is often looked down upon across the USA, even though it provides a path to solid careers!

I do find it funny, though, that Elon Musk, of all people, is lamenting a lack of folks in America willing to do hard, physical labor, given his seeming lack of ever doing such work himself.

“We cannot release the files that we previously said implicated NO ONE, beyond Epstein and Maxwell, because we are using them to investigate people who were not implicated by the files” is the new “I can’t release my taxes, because the IRS, which already has those files, is auditing me.”

A selection of Roman glassware, mostly from the eastern provinces & made 1600-2000 years ago - and a clear demonstration of how much the Romans like a bit of colour in their homes!

Nope! Neither did Ross Perot!

Apparently, I’m an ancient, withered husk, because I’m old enough to have voted for him, twice.

If he molested kids, lock him up.

I have neighbors who put up a giant Jack Skellington for Halloween.

Then they put a Christmas hat on him post-Halloween and keep him up through New Years’

Holy Crap! Dawgs going for the jugular!

After the way South Carolina folded in the second half against Texas A&M, I will not get sucked into Oklahoma’s first quarter success against Alabama!

Of course, neither game matters if UGA doesn’t take care of business against Texas tonight…

Yeah, the four words in the piece were not any of the variations I can come up with.

Most notably, unlike the article’s four word phrase, mine were all very sweary, too!

Dammit!

I knew saying something nice about South Carolina’s first half play against Texas A&M would come back to haunt me!

As soon as the words left my lips, I knew I should not have spoken!

No matter where you go, there you are.

I thought Blondi and Krash said there was no one else involved and no one else could be charged because there was no evidence of it in the files they ALREADY HAD.

Seems like those files could be released, since they said they didn’t contain evidence of wrongdoing.

The FBI's Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Had Nearly 3 Minutes Cut Out Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

I know the Epstein emails have lots of juicy bits, but you know what else possibly does, too.

The missing minutes from the prison surveillance footage of the night Epstein died.

Whatever happened with that?!?

Schrodinger's immigrant: driving down our wages with their cheap labor, and also buying up all of our houses.

JD Vance: "Democrats' idea was the way you get more prosperity is that you import more and more low wage servants."

As opposed to Republicans’ idea - ‘the way you get more prosperity is that you break the economy and create more and more desperate, low wage citizens, to work for us, oh, uh, wait…’

MLS 3.0? Why Major League Soccer's new calendar is its smartest move in years For a league with big ambitions but a history of puzzling decisions, the schedule change needed to happen.

My column on why weird, gaffe-prone MLS got it right by changing the competition calendar:

The Epstein case against Trump is as if everyone is looking at a 500 piece puzzle with 2 pieces missing and pretending they can't make out the picture for certain.

“Scott Jennings aligning with notorious sex predator Jeffrey Epstein’s best bud (and apparent partner in crime) because of their mutual hatred of democracy, humanity, and decency is ... a choice. 🥴”

Listen, I’m not saying anything about anybody, but don’t leave your children in Megyn Kelly’s care.

That’s all I’m saying.
