I just want to bring back Rich Hall's best sniglet: funching. That was all over Word of the Day calendars in the 90s.

Oh, now MAGA wants to acknowledge Puerto Rico as part of the US? Weren't they just saying a few days ago that Bad Bunny wasn't American?

Yeah, canceling a young female colleague's hotel room makes clear this is not his first outing as a stalker/rapist.

Spending your time talking with a man who believes the majority of the population should be raped for their own good is also a choice...but somehow that doesn't register as worthy of mention by most male pundits, even on the left.

...shitty knockoff Rolex watches produced by the same Wyoming strip mall company that ALSO sells "male enhancement honey." (Do not ask.)

Funny how hunting and trapping young women to coerce them into "dating," through pre-meditated sabotage like letting their air out of their cars' tires or canceling their hotel rooms, is such a common tactic among Trump's most prominent allies.

Please read the comments below my post--looks like Kegseth described the deal all wrong and the Bad Thing isn't actually happening. I'm just about to delete the post to avoid spreading disinfo.

Brooke Harrington @ebharrington.bsky.social · 10h

I have never been so genuinely happy to be corrected. Thank you.

Brooke Harrington @ebharrington.bsky.social · 10h

Oh thank the heavens above, because I was about to lose my tiny little Reagan era mind.
