Paul, on the Outer Banks

Well, no.
But then they are all corporate stooges.
They are all just selling Ozempic.

Good night,💤

and Liberace is otherwise engaged.

More importantly, no cams from DHS or ICE showing any part of Portland in flames. God Bless Portland.

So what is the (not obviously obscene) metaphor for MTG that I seek? I want to say that she is like …?
She’s not politically dead, so canary in a coal mine is not quite right. Unless you agree that the Republican Party is dying. She’s wrong on a lot of stuff so “Cassandra” is not quite right.

What happened to all those constitutional conservatives in Congress?

He is following the anti-Democratic plan set up and successfully implemented by Victor Orban, so, indeed

He’s turning Hungarian
I think he’s turning Hungarian,
I really think so.

I was going to make a post directed at Sorority Girls, urging them to rise up against this. But then I figured that none of them are on BlueSky and so none of them would see my post. Am I wrong?

At some point the numbers are just measuring the measuring apparatus and its ability to discern start and stop times.
But, nonetheless, this is a peak human performance. Bravo.

British doctors of the late 1800s actually used to diagnose this sort of thing as
“barking mad”.

OK, Hakeem! If you’re not going to step aside, we need to see this daily, or more frequently.
I’ve been a critic, but I’ll mark this down as a win.

MAGA Requirements:
1. Loud, pious, extremely public devotion to Jesus
2. Blinding hatred for everything Jesus actually taught.

Didn't Donald successfully sue 60 Minutes for editing an interview?

🤷‍♂️😂🤣

Kudos to Manu Raju for at least asking the questions and not letting it blow on by.

There is another name for it when all of those engaged in the circular process are jerks.

Schedule it he says.... smart ass

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

Man she’s in his head

Saul Zabar, Smoked Fish Czar of Upper West Side, Dies at 97

I grew up going to Zabar's. So many of my childhood memories center around the best lox in NYC (which is saying something). With Saul Zabar's passing today, the Upper West Side has lost a legend who turned his parent's humble store into a culinary institution.

Not bad, Chuck, I’ll give you this one.

This is what ICE is doing to protesters at Broadview while complaining about the protesters trying to protect themselves

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities. In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all. This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account. These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.

Grassley to Bondi: "It's all pointing out the wrong of using the power of government to go after people -- political people you don't like. We're pointing this all out because we can't have this repeated in the United States."

(He's somehow not talking about Trump ... )

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”
