I’ve definitely progressed into the “buying things for myself” stage of Xmas shopping 😅

This is from 1939 so they’ve probably edited out all the gay bits but maybe not I’ll find out

This picture from L’Express is fucking brutal lmao #uspol
A photograph with a tan backdrop. In the background and slightly out of focus is Donald Trump wearing a red MAGA hat and blue suit. He has the worst, orangest spray tan known to humankind, it doesn’t even cover his entire face. It looks like a kindergartner put it on. He looks like an old baseball glove you find in the garage. His suit has collar gap. In the foreground is Elon Musk, dressed like a 12 year old’s idea of cool. He is wearing a black SpaceX shirt, black leather jacket that might have once seen a motorcycle, and mirrored sunglasses like he’s dressing up as a cop for Halloween. He is holding onto the sunglasses like he’s about to rip them off to make a pun before a Who song kicks in.

🏄 Fam if you’re a beginner stay off The Hook during a high surf advisory 😭

Today I watched a guy struggle to get out of the water for 20 minutes. He couldn’t make it to the stairs and ended up climbing a cliff (not one of the usual ones)

I didn’t leave in case I needed to call 911 but he made it

We were just in Capitola and the waves seemed big *for Capitola* and the beach was closed, but they didn’t seem “take down a wharf” big

Updated: 9:52 a.m. — Committee hearing canceled After police’s clearing of the University Yard encampment, House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has canceled the committee’s hearing on D.C.’s initial refusal to clear the space scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. During a press conference before the cancellation, Mayor Muriel Bowser said Comer said he supported officials in focusing on the District’s ongoing response to the encampment’s clearing. Comer said the committee has canceled their hearing due to D.C.’s clearing of the encampment in a statement later Wednesday morning. The committee last week called on Bowser and Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith to testify at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday on why they refused GW’s request to clear the encampment on the second day of the protest.
