Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it
Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

Trump can't even remember which country he wants to steal.
Trump is now confusing Greenland and Iceland: "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."

Stop. Addressing. Foreign. Leaders. By. Their. First. Names. In. Public.
I know it’s a minor point but it’s always bugged me.
Not just foreign leaders either. What other president regularly mentioned senators and cabinet members as “Mitch” and “Marco” and “Pam.” 🤬

i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory

While it's nice finally hearing pundits, US politicians, and world leaders openly discussing Trump's emotional, mental, intellectual, and psychological shortcomings... what took you so long? Yeah it's getting worse, but it's not like it EVER wasn't glaringly obvious...

Ban bombs, borders, and billionaires, not books! Stories (and the power they contain) should belong to everyone! Cutting off access to art means stifling what makes us human, especially when the biggest targets are marginalized voices.

Wow 😮
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

It's like when a dad wins a giant stuffed animal at the fair for his toddler.
The kid feels like a superstar walking around dragging that huge bear behind him for the rest of the day, but everyone who sees him knows that two-year-old didn't toss those darts at the balloons himself.

“The murdering will continue until you stop calling us murderers.”
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."
