Canada: Knock knock...
MAGA: Who's there?
Canada: Orange.
MAGA: "Orange" who?
Canada: Orange you glad you imposed self-destructive tariffs and started a trade war you can't win?

Greta Lee, Jillian Anderson, Evan Peters, Jeff Bridges and...

Jared Leto.

I feel like Leto is in a small group of A List actors - like Jai Courtney - who Hollywood really want to make into the "It Guy" but they just don't seem to have "It."

They're more "That Guy" who was in that thing you liked

Since when did Musk ever give money to charity?

Like all billionaires, Musk has a fake charity in his name - but the tax exempt Musk Foundation always fails to give even 5% of its assets to charitable causes, and instead just gives money to organizations that benefit Musk.

Which proves the medical licensing exam doesn't ask how many Rs are in "strawberry."

Call me a Luddite, but as long as LLMs have a peculiar predilection for random "hallucinations" in which they just make stuff up - I'm not super-stoked about giving them the power to affect lives.

My COPD treatment used to cost me $2,000 a month!

But now, thanks to this one weird trick, the drug company is paying me $15,000 a month to take it!

June 2017 Trump: Qatar is funding terrorists!!!

May 2025 Qatar: Here's a $400,000,000 bribe, I mean plane!

Oct. 2025 Trump: Qatar needs an airbase in Idaho!!!

The quid is pro quo-ing all over the place.

Trump's lies are getting hilariously bad. He reminds me of a kid I knew in kindergarten who would see someone talking about their family going to Disneyland over the Summer so he'd claim his family went to the Moon.

It must be an interesting experience being called the Antichrist by a guy who is actively striving to rule the world and looks like Nosferatu in a sauna.

I'd say Count Dampula should look in the mirror, but maybe he doesn't have a reflection.

lol, I can't believe she hasn't just dropped out - or rather, decided to "spend more time with her family."

With HER record of spineless subservience to, and apologism for, Trump's evil, what's her campaign slogan?

ffs, Parisians burned the city down over a 2 year change in the retirement age.

If some Temu Napoleon had an agency called Glace knocking down doors and dragging kids into the street, they'd nuke the Champs-Élysées.

Trump has spoken on the topic and seems genuinely terrified of going to Hell. It may be the Pontiff's opening.

Pope Leo should talk to Trump alone and explain to Preschool POTUS that he's gonna go to Hell for ICE, CECOT, Alligator Alcatraz and other inhumane policies.

Logic don't work, so why not?

Remember kids: Bubbles Always Pop.

(That's why they call them "bubbles" - if they didn't pop, they'd call them "balls.")

Idaho is home to some of the far-est right far right Trump fans in America, like the defunct Aryan Nations, the white supremacist gang Aryan Knights and the still active Patriot Front.

I wonder how they feel about their MAGA fuhrer a Muslim nation an airbase on US soil?

If ONLY Joe Rogan had the kind of massive platform that regularly hosts the most powerful and influential people in the ruling GOP - like Trump himself - so he could share these insights with them.

If only...

Rogan on Trump’s cruel mass deportations, racially profiling non-criminals and ripping apart families: “This is crazy. That shows no heart. You’re not gonna get any reasonable people to go along with that. Any kind person would go ‘this can’t be the only way to do this’.”

This seems ill-advised.

But it also seems like one of Elon Musk's ketamine-fueled fever dreams - like the City on Mars or downloading French through Neuralink chips - that will never actually happen and is really just a scam to soak up a few billion VC dollars.

We are. We're living in a combination of the third season thriller "It's a Good Life" and an episode from the fourth season called "He's Alive" starring a young Dennis Hopper.

U.S. District Judge Denise Cote ruled that Musk himself had reduced his privacy interest by publicly BOASTING that he holds a “top secret clearance”—and discussing his drug use and contacts with [Putin], which are factors that the DCSA is supposed to consider for security clearance decisions.

LOL!

You're gonna "trust Donald Trump," huh?

There are several thousand construction workers, ex-employees, farmers and Trump University "students" who have several thousand reasons why you shouldn't do that.

Bibi and his "PhD in violating ceasefires" (lol!) is the cherry on top of this s**t sundae.

Emily @emilyyour8.bsky.social · 2d

There is no way that the Trump regime is going to allow a free and fair national election. They're trying their damnedest to engineer a Putin-style show election.

The only things we have working in our favor are 1) We know what they're doing, and 2) They are all remarkably stupid people.

Aww... that face is the exact opposite of a s**t-eating grin.

It honestly seems more likely that RFK Jr actually died of roadkill-related botulism in the 90s and what we're actually watching here is an incredibly immersive prank from a still-living Andy Kaufman than it is that this marble-mouthed druggie is making healthcare decisions for a first world nation.
