Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

The past 10 months I have continued to conclude these are simply horrible humans. There’s nothing redeeming about them. The goal is to damage, hurt, damage, hurt. I’m terribly sad for this country, though Tuesday’s election results give me a glimmer of hope. This flight thing is puzzling.
I legit can’t figure out the play on these FAA flight cancellations. Who’s the White House trying to pressure. And who do they think people are gonna get mad at when Thanksgiving goes down the drain?

I can’t wait for New York City to be ruled by Shakira law. Hips will no longer be allowed to lie.
If Mamdani wins, then there will be no Christmas. Everyone will be converted and forced to pray to the Time Cube.

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!
Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.
Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

There is no consolation. No encouraging words. Every single man who wore a Toronto Blue Jays uniform this year and every single employee contributed to a truly remarkable season. This sucks. They really did deserve to win it all. Expletives removed. 😡

This feels like a good omen.
Blue Jays have the chance to win the World Series on what would have been John Candy's 75th birthday.
Make it happen.

This was such a fun game to watch. Go Jays!
Good morning sports fans.
I think the Dome is still shaking from Barger’s Grand Slam blast to sent the crowd into a frenzy. What a joyous scene.
Game 2 of the World Series on a Saturday night in Toronto. Chugging coffee to start the day. Enjoy it folks.

As recounted in a NY Times article at the time, in 1980, Trump promised to rescue the graceful facade sculptures and give them to the Met Museum to preserve for posterity. Yet he inexplicably reneged on his promise & instead had the sculptures "smashed by jackhammers," as the Times article reported

I’m just so sad for our country.
I for one do think it's possible for America to find a president better than one who, faced with claims he is dumping shit on Americans, posts a video showing himself dumping shit on Americans.
Trump posts AI video showing him literally dumping shit on America
