I guess 14 of Musk’s kids were at Riotfest where Gwar simulated the decapitation of Elon. They all thought it was real. I don’t like the guy at all, but that’s pretty messed up.

Tired: Quiet laughter
Wired: Melodic laughter

This is a real letter from Melania Trump to Putin and it’s one of the most vapid things I’ve ever read.

Melania Trump
Fixst Lady of the United States of America
August 15, 2025
Dear President Putin,
Every child shares the same quiet dreams in their heart, whether born randomly into a nation's rustic countryside or a magnificent city-center. They dream of love, possibility, and safety from danger.
As parents, it is our duty to nurture the next generation's hope. As leaders, the responsibility to sustain our children extends beyond the comfort of a few.
Undeniably, we must strive to paint a dignity-filled world for all - so that every soul may wake to peace, and so that the future itself is perfectly guarded.
A simple yet profound concept, Mr. Putin, as I am sure you agree, is that each generation's descendants begin their lives with a purity - an innocence which stands above geography, government, and ideology.
Yet in today's world, some children are forced to carry a quiet laughter, untouched by the darkness around them — a silent defiance against the forces that can potentially claim their future. Mr. Putin, you can singlehandedly restore their melodic laughter.
In protecting the innocence of these children, you will do more than serve Russia alone — you serve humanity itself. Such a bold idea transcends all human division, and you, Mr. Putin, are fit to implement this vision with a stroke of the pen today.
It is time.
Sincerely,
Melania Trump
The White House

If I could time travel I’d go back to an old west frontier town and open a perverted anime figurine shop next to the saloon. A cacophony of vocaloid mewling would blight the town. In confused horror the cowboys would shoot blindly at me, the tatters of body pillows fluttering poignantly in the dust.

I think if we can find just a few more examples of MAGA Republicans being hypocrites, we’ll finally have ‘em!!! 💪

Been thinking about this for more than a year; finally put it into words here. Kinda drawing together threads around Josh Kline, Skibidi Toilet, Lasagna Cat, M3gan, Pepe the Frog, 'Brave New World,' Ghostbusters, $TrumpCoin into some kind of theory... news.artnet.com/art-world-ar...

The good thing about all of this is the lasting good will Democrats are earning from Republicans by treating Trump with warmth and kindness. ❤️🤗 I’m excited for them to reciprocate 😌
