Apologies to @aaronjames.bsky.social, but the dog took this personally. Because the dog is, in fact, an asshole*

Cover of “Assholes: A Theory”, by Aaron James (paperback edition). A dog has gnawed off all four corners.

* The asshole in question. A short-legged orange dog, sitting on his rump, in grass with scattered fall leaves. He’s part-dachshund, part-corgi. And in this picture he is giving extreme side-eye

“the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa”

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kay_Sum...

This 1944 U.S. Army photo is captioned "Kay Summersby, an Irish girl from County Cork, is mighty proud of the company she keeps, for there is always one important Allied leader behind her when she takes the wheel. Attached to the American Forces as General Dwight Eisenhower's personal driver when he first came to England, she has been driving him ever since over roads in North Africa, Tunisia, Italy, and now England."

Look, we’re buried in TPS reports over here, it’s gonna be a bit.

Or, with apologies to @dandrezner.bsky.social, it’s possible that Everyone Behaves Like They’re A Toddler, not just the president

David Morehous @dmorehous.bsky.social · 2d

That’s a fair critique of Everyone Behaves Like They’re 12 Thought. It is possible that everyone is actually behaving like they’re 6. See the examples collected below the foundational post of Everyone Behaves Like They’re 12 Thought: bsky.app/profile/very...

There’s a “Trump take egg man brain” joke in here somewhere, but I don’t think I’m @mtsw.bsky.social enough to find it
