FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

Good morning! Monday already! Cloudy and humid here. The female Ruby Throated hummingbird yesterday. They are amazing little birds. 🥰 Have a wonderful day! 💙🫶🏻

James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."

As of this evening, The Odyssey has earned $911M in just 16 days. It will more than likely break the record for the fastest R-Rated movie to earn a billion, set by Deadpool & Wolverine in 2024 (23 days). They're calling it the most successful flop in history.

Crazy to think a decade ago I was completely apolitical, enjoying my straight white guy privilege, oblivious to 99% of the world around me. And now, because yall radicalized me on twitter (according to my family), I'm more in tune with the Michigan democratic primary than the NBA offseason.

How many weekends has he done this? He is pumping and dumping around the opening and closing of the stock market and playing with Iranians like this is some sort of video game. People are dying, this is no game and he is an idiot and no leader.

So Tillis and Cornyn’s position is that the slush fund and IRS immunity is disgusting, illegal, immoral, and unethical but they are willing to confirm the man who agreed to it as Attorney General of the United States as long as he takes it back.

Today I learned that baby cranes are called "colts" because their legs are so long and they can run around like idiots shortly after hatching. This is delightful, I enjoy knowing this.

And then they throw in some Celtic languages and yoink bits of languages from around the world along the way. The result: a language where there are usually about 10 different ways to say something, but when it comes to writing, you sit at your desk for 20 minutes trying to think of one 🤣 #amwriting

Now this is the kind of trash talk we can get behind. We’re containerizing neighborhoods by taking trash off our sidewalks and allowing mid-size buildings to trade in their wheelie bins for a bigger, better, cleaner alternative: Empire Bins. It’s time to put a lid on it, New York.
