This is so cringe. Trump’s team is busy working to destroy the democratic norms and legal policies of our country, and the Democrats are working to “own” Trump for golfing. This does nothing but waste resources and distract from real issues that most Americans would care about.
Today we launched a website to track how much orange assface plays golf. We’re guessing this thing is gonna get a workout! Bookmark it. Enjoy! More: TrumpGolfTrack.com

Guys, I’m starting to think that Trump isn’t going to settle the war in Ukraine before his Inauguration Day like he promised…

Since they’re moving the inauguration anyways, they should just go ahead and have it at the Four Seasons in Philly instead.

It's only my second day back at work after a two-week winter vacation, but I'm definitely ready to be a stay-at-home wife already.

Today’s soundtrack was Artificial Paradise by OneRepublic. My first time listening and I like it. I’d know this was 1R just from hearing it, but it still sounds fresh.

Listening to a 2000s hits playlist on Apple Music and "Who Let the Dogs Out?" came on. I think I forgot this song was an actual unironic hit at one point. 😂

Stop treating my son's birthday as an excuse for rampant capitalism. Follow his example instead and look after the poor.

If it weren't for the fact that the logos in the center represent privately-held corporations, I think the economic planners from the 1960s in the Soviet Union would be impressed.
unpopular take: the way Americans seem to want it to be where each individual brand and product is its own self-contained company that only makes one thing is actually a dumb-as-shit way to want or expect the economy to be organized.

Kiss me passionately in the secluded corner of a used bookstore on a cobblestone side street in Prague during a raging thunderstorm, or kindly stop wasting my time.

This reminds me of my early 20s, except the senators were my friends and it was Sunday morning. (The pledge never lasted.)

IMO, a lot of the Twitter v. BlueSky discourse I'm seeing misses the mark. I don't care so much about which ideologies are on which apps—I care that BlueSky gives me more control over what I'm shown. My feed here is a lot closer to my interests, instead of whatever Elon wants me to see.

playlists are cool
but listening to an entire album in order, the way the artist intended? that’s where it’s at for me personally
