In Trump's first term, traditional media was completely unprepared for how to cover him. In Trump's second term, they are completely uninterested.
AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

All I Needed To Know About Government, I Learned From Watching Mafia Movies
Lutnick on Taiwan: "They need to keep our president happy. Because our president is the key to protecting their country. So they need to make him happy. So you say, why would they do this? The answer is because Donald Trump is vital to protecting them."

Tepid take: Bill Maher isn’t funny.
There’s a certain kind of aging provocateur who can’t imagine losing on the merits, so every loss becomes proof of discrimination.
Like... dude, you lost to Ricky Gervais. I don't think it was about "wokeness." variety.com/2026/awards/...

Can’t wait for all the op-eds tomorrow about how undignified it is for the president to swear like that and…nah, jk

I first saw Bob Weir with the Dead in Oakland in 1993 and last with Dead and Co. in Boston in 2023. Thanks for 30 years and dozens of shows for this relative youngster who was late to the scene.

Once again the crossroads
And there ain't no moon shinin' through the trees
Goddess tossed my number, babe
Left me begging, baby please
Bury me standing
I been a lifetime on my knees
Bury me at the crossroads
Lay me down and let me be

Mr Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls. He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liverslices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencods' roes. Most of all he liked
grilled mutton kidneys which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine

Care for a bit of kidney in your burger? Organ-meat sales are way up, thanks to the MAHA movement and the natural food fad.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

Watched the latest @flophousepodcast.com FlopTV episode and I see why @elliottkalan.bsky.social was having so much trouble talking to the animals. The birds at the Westin are much more chatty than those at the Hyatt (but there are infinitely fewer penguins, so it's a bit of a wash).

Alaska/Hawaiian Airlines merger is such a clusterfuck. Was told to use either loyalty account for their new Atmos program. Logged in with Alaska number on Hawaiian, booked flight, said it was booked through Alaska Airlines. Got two confirmation numbers and couldn't check in via Hawaiian app.

"Trump" and "class" are two words that have never appeared in such close proximity.
President Trump said he will oversee the development of a new class of Navy battleship — named after himself.

Did I finally buy the 4K TV I've been wanting even though it's ever-so-slightly too big for the fixed width I have available without knowing exactly how I'm going to make it fit? Yes, yes I did.
