I was walking into the grocery store the other day. Not struggling or limping, just walking. The old guy limping in next to me said, "It's hell getting old, ain't it?" I'm 53! What the hell! Stop digging my grave!

I remember when Sean Connery won the Oscar for untouchables, and I remember a lot of the conversation at the time was about how he was old now and had never won an Oscar and this was awarded to him as a sort of mercy Oscar while he was still alive. He was 57.

I would love for someone to just push him over. You know? Just to watch him flop like a manatee. And then moan and flail and roll around while no one helps him, like a beached beluga.

Has anyone else noticed how nice it's been to have this break from Bullshit Barbie yelling at the press corps every day? Just wanted to acknowledge that before it started up again.

Billy and the Boingers have declined an invitation to appear at Freedom 250.

BREAKING: legendary Los Angeles 1970s “devil rock” icon Moloch and his California Highway Patrol entourage has just announced that he is pulling out of the America 250th Anniversary celebration.

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

We need to start calling it the "bunker" instead of the "ballroom". It's not like he wants somewhere to dance. He wants somewhere to ride out elections and impeachments. The Trump/Epstein Bunker.

In his @status.news newsletter @oliverdarcy.bsky.social reports the White House got Getty to delete this photo (from a Thanksgiving White House PHOTO-OP STUNT) because Karoline Leavitt was offended It ran only in a Swiss newspaper. It would be a shame if you retweeted and Streisanded it

There were people who posted things like this about Charlie Kirk when he died. They were doxxed and harassed by Trump's supporters, and in many cases were fired from their jobs as a result.

“Good, I’m Glad He's Dead”—Trump responds to the death of Robert Mueller

Mueller led the FBI for 12 years and served as the special counsel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Then they'll say not enough people are driving and there's a drop in the revenue needed to maintain the highways so they'll increase gas taxes and the price will stay high anyway.

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

They just left off the "human", right? Noem's new title is actually "Human Shield of the Americas" and they're sending her out to be a damage sponge.

Kristi Noem testified under oath yesterday that detainees receive medical attention within 12 hours. Yet another shameless lie.

An ICE detainee in Arizona has died of a TOOTH INFECTION after it went untreated for weeks, a local official says. He was a Haitian asylum seeker imprisoned in Florence, Arizona. @emilybregel.bsky.social reports. tucson.com/news/local/b...

Declaring an emergency now because of interference in the 2020 election, even if it were true, seems a little tardy. Like Truman declaring an emergency in 1947 because Pearl Harbor was attacked.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

My dad had a sign: "STUPID IS FOREVER - IGNORANCE CAN BE FIXED".

Stupidity is a lack of intellectual capacity, an inability to learn. Ignorance is a state of not knowing, a state that can possibly be changed with communication and education. We can make better use of our time and energy if we can spot the difference. (Hint: True magat = Stupid)

This was posted in the new Epstein files release and removed about 20 mins later. Wonder why that is.

TW ⚠️ The stabilized version is brutal.

Can Minneapolis just close for a couple days, so that no one has any reason to deal with any ICEstaffel in any capacity? Just a complete business blackout?

Texas Tech had a terrible game yesterday. But man, the way the Georgia game ended was worse. Like watching a twitching corpse getting clubbed in front of its children.

Well, that just wrecked a lot of projected brackets. Almost no one figured on Ohio State not moving forward.

The one thing I'll say is that the Trump post on the Reiners is even more deranged and cut off from all reality when you remember that Michele shot the cover photo for Art of the Deal. Trump usually never passes up a chance to point out stuff like that. He's lost all grip on reality.

A lesson for the religious right. If this were truly a Christian nation. #Pinks #ProudBlue #ChristianNation

Every morning the news is like a war, hearing about the latest attacks on America and how some of them are thwarted but new ones pop up all the time. Except the attacker is the president and a bunch of Americans wanted this.

This piece took me over 2 months to write. It’s about a man given illegal orders that is impossible not to obey. Please read. open.substack.com/pub/joadt/p/...

A Story About Illegal Orders

My usual line, when asked why I don't drink, is "I have enough expensive hobbies already".

Kelly J. Baker (she/her)@kellyjbaker.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

States need to prosecute the people carrying out Trump's orders whenever possible. He may be "immune", but his flunkies aren't, and the more they face consequences, the less they'll go along with the Madness of King Donnie.
