Like I’m 5: Can someone explain to me how Texas soldiers hanging out in Illinois isn’t a civil war? Cuz when my toys end up in the wrong play box, everyone says we’re fighting.

Tomorrow’s (Oct 6-7, 2025) “Rapture 2.0” is apparently because Jesus mixed up our calendar, and kids saying “67” aren’t being edgy, they’re pre-registering for Heaven. Where do I apply for that level of delusion?

Bari Weiss is set to be named the editor in chief of CBS News, the New York Post reports

Paramount Skydance is poised to name Bari Weiss as editor in chief of CBS News in the coming days — giving the hard-charging journalist unusual clout to revamp the struggling network as it also acquires her scrappy news site the Free Press, The Post has learned.

Weiss — a 41-year-old former New York Times opinion writer who has built the Free Press into a buzzworthy site with a contrarian bent — is expected to be named to the top post in a Monday announcement, although the talks are in flux and the timing could change, a source close to the situation said.

Remember when Trump swore on a stack of upside down Bibles he didn’t know about Project 2025 and definitely wasn’t going to use it as his playbook? And people believed him.

Read it if you haven’t. Spoiler: the only happy ending is for the 0.1%. Everyone else gets wrecked.

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940.

The money is going to be used *against* you.

It’s a shame we’re back here, but it’s also really nice to know that some family traditions continue.

May her kids not need to do this in another 60 years?

She was on some podcast, laughing her ass off and talking about her new production schedule to take over his position. Not really the grieving widow/trad wife look they were looking for.

That Nick Fuentes guy has been trying to tear her down ever since.

It’s gotta be rough for MAGA this week. Erica Kirk showed her real face, the military shrugs at Pete Heath/Trump, Ariana Grande checks in about the MAGA 90 day promise and they hate the reality, and now even the Pope says they’re not pro-life.

And it’s only Wednesday.

Really disappointing from @royalsociety.org which is hiding behind "not policing politics" to sustain the membership of an openly white supremacist anti-science billionaire who never should have been admitted in the first place, talk about low bars 🧪
