They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry.

(He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

Whether it’s Joe Biden attending weekly mass or Donald Trump’s ICE agents shooting a priest in the face with a pepper ball, presidents of both sides have directly engaged with the Catholic faith.

My morning was shitty but not THAT shitty.

I play OneWordSearch in the morning. There's only 1 real word showing, and when you select it, the letters fall away and shift, and you find the next one. It's timed, so speed is key. But the word "SHART" showed up in today's puzzle, and I laughed so hard I got my worst time ever.

This absolute monster album was released 34 years ago today. Trippy and original and so damn heavy. It's pure volcanic power. #Soundgarden #90sGrungeMusic

Takes me back to my late teens, listening on a crappy little radio/tape player.

From here on out every member of our military will be in shape and clean-shaven. And have granite jaws and the highest cheekbones. And legs that go on for days and shapely calves and an ass that just won’t…

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

So there's this spot on a nearby hiking trail where, with every step, dozens of grasshoppers fly up at my feet. And monarch and little yellow butterflies float around me. And I'm like, "Yes, my minions. Rise! I summon thee!"

The gods should have made Sisyphus put on fitted sheets all day, not the stupid boulder thing. That would have been real punishment.

Quinnipiac says that following Jerry was the equivalent of signing a consent form, but we'll see what the lawyers have to say about that.

I still pity people who hear a foreign language and experience a fear response. But those people are working my nerves rn.

This is encouraging. Cicero was BCE. The empire didn't fall for a few more centuries. So maybe our country has a little longer than it seems.

He could rotate duties: band director, cheer advisor, t-shirt cannon operator, mascot... The possibilities are endless, and he'd do way less damage to our country.

Naval Academy football head cheerleader is actually a good full time job for him. That is something he actually appears to be qualified for.

Dearest Mother,
ICE forces took another microbrewery last night, leaving only 879 under our control within city limits. But our beard oil deliveries remain constant, the one bright spot in this dark war. The public pianos have gone silent. But Vegan Company remains resolute. #WarRavagedPortland

I keep seeing this headline but I'm still waiting to hear about an arrest warrant. Does one exist?

You really are the victim here. Any lawyers out there who want to represent Jerry pro bono for his suit against Tay?

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

Greeting the day like it's that skeezy-looking dude who walks the neighborhood on foot, knocking on doors and offering to cut down trees.
