And that concludes the press conference. Nothing of note except the public acknowledgement - by the United States government - of aliens in our atmosphere and over our cities. Ya know, just your run of the mill, boring ass, White House presser. Yawn.

Think of all the money the government wasted trying to convince kids that weed wasn't cool when all they had to do was get Bill Maher to host a YouTube show.

I’d give anything to hear Trump trash Trump. Can you imagine that? “He’s a loser. What happened? He was so handsome in the 80s now he looks like a catcher’s mit. And that combover isn’t fooling anyone. Dumb Donald, we call him, don’t we folks? Remember him and Mushmouth?”

Turns out all you need to get Bill Maher to support a misguided war in the Middle East is buy him dinner first.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Donald Trump has proven time and again that he does not have America’s best interests at heart, so his word on this conflict can’t be trusted.

The opposition response speech usually sucks. This is solid.

When I think, “Fraud” I definitely think of JD Vance.

All political gamesmanship aside, this is a pretty boring and normal state of the union speech. Dull, long, forgettable, inspiring no one. Trump’s lost his spark.

So say we all. (Via @sashat.bsky.social)

In August 1961, JFK's president, LBJ's VP, Nixon's running for governor, Ford's in congress, Carter's a peanut farmer, Reagan's an actor, Bush 41's a businessman, Clinton, Bush & Trump are in high school, Biden's in college & Obama's born. None of the 2028 contenders are alive.

Ashli Babbitt was a traitor to our country who planned to murder police officers five years ago today. Don’t forget that.

Does the FIFA Peace Prize mean nothing?!

mayor-elect mamdani dog walked trump so hard i kept looking for the collar and leash

Taking a stand.

Mamdani is not a radical. He has run a tight, smart, fairly standard local campaign. He'll probably get 20 or 30 percent of his platform if he's lucky. The one radical thing he's done is told the Times to go to hell. He has campaigned every step of the way like he doesn't need them, and he's right.

The poll watchers are back

what if the rapture happened and they only took people who have never used social media so we all have no idea that it happened

Thrilled to return to not watching late night by choice.

I worked for Marvel for 7 years. The folks at that company taught me so much and have been nothing but kind and generous to me over the years. I hope I am able to patronize them and other Disney companies in the future, but unfortunately I cannot support Disney at this time.

They canceled Jimmy Kimmel for *not* making fun of Charlie Kirk’s death.
