If you thought John Mitchell or Bill Barr were bad… just you wait.

Now that I’m in my 3rd week working at a deli, I figured out I’m that kid from Bad Santa.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

The Secretary of Health and Human Services is pathologically lying, gaslighting psychopath.

RFK: "You are saying nonsense." Bash: "I am not saying nonsense, excuse me?…This is not productive. " RFK: "You're talking nonsense…You were scaring people." Bash: "Why are you saying that?" RFK: "Because that was the job of CNN." Bash: "Okay, stop."

Just think of how sick, twisted and demented you have to be to post this as president knowing it is all a lie because you don’t want to admit you hired an unqualified pool guy - the act of typing this knowing that every word is false.

Only 2 states avoided high turnovers of teachers, Connecticut and my own Maryland. We need to do better for the teachers. www.chalkbeat.org/2026/07/30/t...

A ‘lost generation’ of teachers left the classroom. Schools are still dealing with the consequences.

Veteran teachers left, principals cycled through too, and high-poverty schools likely faced the greatest strain. Here’s what years of churn did to classrooms.

Performative bullshit. Fauci is a hero. Besides, they’re trying to ban an 85-year-old retiree from a job he already left.

It’s tomato season, Carolina Gold and Cherokee Purple w/ salt, pepper, olive oil and balsamic.

France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼

The only thing worse than having one of the biggest morons on the planet running your country is having one that thinks he’s actually smarter than everyone else.

He’s never pet a dog or cat. He’s never taken a walk in the woods, or admired the natural world. His idea of beauty is the worst sort of tackiness, fake gold. ⚜️ He’s never done anything kind or good for any other person without it being transactional, never once has he acted altruistically.

So the deli I began working at had its opening day today. We opened at 10:30, but someone was in line at 5:30AM. By the time I got to work at 9, there was a crowd outside. By the time we opened, the line stretched for over a 100 yards. By 1PM the owner said we sold more than 300 sandwiches. A Monday

Meanwhile, back in the real world . . . It was ignorant anti-vax kooks like RFK Jr who got most Americas killed by Covid.

RFK Jr: "Because of Dr Fauci's leadership and other reasons, we had the highest mortality rate from covid of any country in the world" #OtherReasons 🙃

We actually had the 16th highest mortality rate in the world and it largely resulted from the ignorant asshats who were *resisting* the common sense protection measures Fauci was promoting like masking and distancing. What a colossal asshole.

Mike Waltz -- the same guy who accidentally added the editor of the Atlantic to a top secret Signal group chat about US strikes in Yemen -- says that people who expose military secrets need to be in jail.

WELKER: Is America backing away from a larger attack bc our stockpile has been depleted? WALTZ: We have to take a step back. A lot of our stockpiles were depleted because of Biden WELKER: But you acknowledge they're depleted? WALTZ: No. And the people leaking this nonsense deserve to be in jail

Obama Derangement Syndrome. The guy has been retired for 10 years and he’s still living rent free in their tiny brains.

Many thanks to the Toronto Star for inadvertently showing us why we should all use the Oxford Comma. Apparently Sylvia had some, let's say, complicated hobbies:

got to meet so many people, perhaps the best was the guy who said 'love your poetry'

Merriweather Post Pavilion Phish concert tonight: Kudos to the most innovative spinner I’ve ever seen complete with cape and mismatched colorful clothes, 2 nights in a row we saw this guy, but only tonight did he spin with a cucumber in his mouth.

Shout out tonight to the guy wearing a Kid Rock shirt to a Phish show. Way to read the room.

Arrive late, again. Went straight in, again.

Just be grateful for Donarrhea's astonishing incompetence.

Canadian firefighters hauled ass to get down here when half of Los Angeles was on fire last year. What a characteristically classy way to repay that favor.

"If Canada will not manage its forests to prevent these fires, the United States will look elsewhere, and act on our own, to protect our people,” said a group of U.S. lawmakers. globalnews.ca/news/1196860...
