Why the fuck are Democrats confirming this despot's judges. Why are Democrats giving a single fucking inch on anything, while he is waging war on our country?

Be. A. Fucking. Opposition. Party.

Jim Belushi is awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. And only famous because his brother was.

Holy shit.

Game 7 between the Jays and the Mariners just ran an pro-free trade ad, targeted to American workers, decrying tariffs.

The twist being that, if you don't catch it beforehand, Ronald Reagan is revealed as the speaker in the closing seconds.

What PAC is this? The Province of Ontario.

Ronald Reagan narrates a new anti-tariff ad from Canada

The new commercial is part of a $75 million ad campaign by Ontario aimed at Republican voters.

@authordarganware.bsky.social Mate, you killed it again today. Congrats!

But I'm still not forgiving you for missing that clue about The Princess Bride in game 1. 🤣

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

Sincerely and from the bottom of my African American heart…..

Fuck You Mayo Nation for inflicting this on the rest of us because you couldn’t do the simple thing on 11-05-24.

Fuck you.

one of my absolute favorite things is when musicians lose their shit at Republicans for appropriating their songs and I am particularly delighted to see Kenny Loggins joining the list

I'm an American League guy, always have been. I'd be happy with either The Blue Jays or The Mariners going to The World Series this year. But it's 100% meaningless as there's no way anyone's standing in the way of The Dodgers this year. I fear the path to a series win will go through LA for a while.

Don't let the creepy sepia-colored doll fool you - this is as beautiful of an album as you'll ever find. It's been my favorite for 30+ years.

Been my favorite album since I first purchased it a few months later. I have the closing lyrics from "Goodbye" tattooed on my upper left arm. "Just give me an easy life and a peaceful death."

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

He'd better. Not just because he's Freddy Fucking Vasseur but because their option is Christian "Creepy Thumb" Horner.

CH wearing Ferrari red would be enough to make me gouge my eyes out.

I tend to despise most Jackass-related things - but this is a moment in comedy film history. I will never, ever tire of watching it and how gloriously they pulled it off with Bam.
