You don't know what day it is.
You're eating countless meals a day with lots of snacks in between.
You're napping throughout they day.
Either it's the time between Christmas and New Year or you're a cat.

Whatever norms you imagined existing a few months ago are largely gone or are severely endangered. Trusting that things will work out here, simply because they always tended to before, is a fool’s errand...

This. This is the post. My god.
The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes.

I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

It took me a very long time to learn "do your best" does not mean "give 100% effort even at the expense of your physical or mental health" or "give A+ effort even when it is clearly not appreciated or valued". Sometimes doing your best is heating up a can of soup and going to bed early.

The cold open of this week's Strange New Worlds is a meta giggle. Paul Wesley does a hilarious Shatneresce Kirk.

71% of Americans can't locate the Pacific Ocean on a map.
33% don't believe in evolution.
26% believe the sun revolves around the Earth.
40% don’t know what Auschwitz was.
33% can't name any branch of government.
54% read below a 6th grade level.
But by all means, eliminate the Dept of Education.

Celebrating our country’s independence from a monarchy given the state of things feels wrong. Like getting a Facebook birthday notification for a friend who’s dead.

I absolutely LOVE this idea.

In fact I’d run out and buy one of Elon’s butt-ugly Cybertrucks tomorrow if he’d release the evidence.

Last night the Senate GOP voted against an amendment not to cut off food support for families with children under 12 and one to keep women on Medicaid for childbirth. This is from the “ pro family values” party? All to save tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

The Social Security trust fund could be depleted by 2033, according to a new report from its trustees.
