The food is excellent. The best mashed potatoes I’ve eaten in Ireland too. Small things.

Congratulations María. Some fat loser is crying into his Diet Coke right now. Norway to get 1000% tariffs.

María Corina Machado has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her fight for democracy in Venezuela. A fierce opponent of the Maduro regime, she’s hailed for advocating a peaceful transition from dictatorship.

Trump is probably furious and preparing a TruthSocial post 😆

Reason For Hope Amid the Wreckage

If you woke up this morning with the vague sense that you were missing a goodly portion of your brain cells, it’s likely that you watched Pam Bondi’s performance yesterday before a Senate committee.

Watching on this side of the pond he has been most impressive at almost every turn. He’d make a great president. Props to Newsom’s people on social media though. They know their game.

Dolly should be wrapped in cotton wool. If she ran for president of any country of the world she would win in a landslide.

I don't have the bandwidth to make this case explicit. But today, Todd Bessent put Frank Bisignano in charge of IRS, in addition to Social Security.

Bisignano, at Social Security, gave Big Balls access to all our Social Security data.

Now he's in charge of IRS.

I take no pleasure in agreeing with Mr.S on this. But he’s 100% here. What the fuck America..

We elected the most soulless, self-absorbed empty suit we could possibly scrape from the gutters of late-stage capitalist grift. Twice.

This is on us as much as on him. As a country, we showed ourselves as infantile rubes and slack-jawed marks. As a people, we asked for this. Twice.

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: It takes skill and even courage to do what Colin Blunstone, the lead singer for the Zombies, manages to do in this 1965 song. He's almost completely exposed, all by himself but for a little Vox organ. See you around.

Absolutely agreed this is fabulous. Such a good band and a terrific singer. This Tim Hardin cover is a particular favourite of mine.

Considering Trump has been granted a free pass by the US Supreme Court,if Americans are indeed going to hold their lawless politicians to account,I think this guy in particular is going to go through somethings.
