We've had Presidents who had poisonous metal in their mouths 24 hrs a day and Presidents who boozed all day every day their entire life and Presidents who thought a big skull meant you were smart and also George W. Bush yet somehow in 2025 we ended up with the dog shit stupidest one who ever lived.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

I've thought about a remote therm. The temperature gauge on the Egg is pretty easy to read, especially for smoking, but you have to set the vents just right to lock it in and it's like a millimeter nudge at a time until you get it.

This potato trick is very interesting, though, thank you.

I think I got it.

Smoking ribs on a Big Green Egg is fun if you want to spend an entire weekend afternoon walking outside every fifteen minutes to look at a temperature gauge.

someone with a billion dollars no longer experiences the world as 99% of humanity would recognize it, and so any “analysis” or critique of society they offer is fatally, irrevocably flawed. dracula complaining about the price of groceries

the disastrous refusal of the self-styled silicon valley technokings to keep anyone in their lives capable of questioning their increasingly incomprehensible politics has lead to a crisis of thinking so severe that a fifty-eight year old man believes something is important because he knows about it

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Whoever booked this Role Model bozo for SNL should be fired immediately. What the fuck was that. Gotta have some self-respect when you're booking this show, that would've been embarrassing on The Today Show.

Brewers went 6-0 against the Dodgers this season. Not that that matters, but maybe it does.

lauren @lauren.rotatingsandwiches.com · 16h

do i think the dodgers likely stomp the brewers? yes. do i also think baseball is incredibly stupid and makes no sense so anything could happen? yes. do i also find milwaukee uncomfortable as a concept because that many white people who look like me in one place is unnerving and dangerous? also yes

It's a fun, cool team and I'm happy we get to watch them play for at least another week, come what may from here.

John Gorman @jpgorman.bsky.social · 16h

One thing that's kind of funny is this is the first time Brewers get to celebrate an accomplishment after a win. The playoffs and division wins were both clinched after losses, lol.

Have the Cubs announced what they plan to do about their roster if they come back all the way and beat Milwaukee? Because both NLCS Game2 and Charlie Kirk's birthday are October 14 and that's obviously gonna create some problems for them.
