Oh man, how funny would it be if Hegseth gathered all the generals and admirals and tried to make them take a loyalty oath to trump, but then they were all like "nah bruh" and did a coup instead?

What a privilege it is to get to see firsthand what happens when The History Channel stops showing WWII documentaries 24/7 and instead just makes shit up about aliens.

If and when Trump dies, who is going to be the next leader of maga? Ain't gonna be Vance, that dude has all the charisma of a damp couch cushion.

With ideologies this extreme, there is no middle ground and there is no opting out. If you are not anti-fascist, then you are pro-fascist.

So you agree, you think you're really fascist

I usually do a really good job of keeping track of little personal items, but if I had a nickel for every hair elastic, tube of blistex, and pair of sunglasses I've lost in the past couple months, I'd be able to buy another pair of sunglasses to lose.

Would I watch a Father of the Bride sequel starring the entire cast of Only Murders in the Building? Um, I don't know, did Toto bless the rains down in Africa??

But was he human? At the species level, yes.

But did he deserve to die? Well, according to Joni Ernst, we are all going to die.

But was he a husband who thought women were inferior to men? Yes.

And was he a father who thought other people's children should be murdered in classrooms so that other people could have guns that they might use to murder other children in classrooms? Yes.

Vaccines are battle training for your immune system. If you could give it intel on the enemy, why would you withhold that? Give me ALL the vaccines! I want to be prepared for everything!

As a guy who got a cancer that was probably caused by a virus, I think we should have /more/ vaccines.

I believe Trump is dead and there's literally nothing you or he can say or do to convince me otherwise.

Parallels between Trump and AI are endless. Both overpromise, underdeliver. They put people out of jobs. They lie and steal constantly. They think they know way more than they do. Both backed by techbro billionaires. Neither are any fucking good at their job. And everywhere you turn, there they are.

Nicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · Sep 2

The AI hype bubble driving the stock market is also the Trump bubble.

Facing reality on one—“cost a lot to run, low revenue, isn’t superintelligence” or “tariffs, corruption, and chaos are real”—will make reality hit on the other.

So they’ll try to keep inflating it, and then we’re in for a crash.

I heard that the reason Trump hasn't made any public appearances lately is because he is suffering from an acute case of the Epstein Files.

Dearest Martha,

The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover.

Yours in glaze,

National guard troops lounging outside a Krispy Kreme
