Yes, I tried them. On the downside, they’re too thin. Need more peanut butter. On the upside, a serving is exactly 20 carbs and that’s easier math.

Do you think Reese’s keeps inventing new sized peanut butter cups in part of a top-secret marketing study to test how dumb I am? Because I will try any size and shape! For any holiday or occasion! Your point has been proved and at this point you’re just taunting me. Reese’s Thins. FFS.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

A typewritten note that reads "goodnight Bluesky. We keep us safe" white on black and a doodle of a sleeping cat. The words "we keep us safe" are colored in with the colors of the trans pride flag.

He is. Also, he adopted Prince so he legally inherited the title. And access to the ball pit in McDonaldland.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

I did not know that, but it’s my favorite color too! I even had an orange prom dress!

Prince still owns the color purple, right? He did a takeover - in my lifetime! and he should own it in perpetuity. When I came into this world, purple was up for grabs. Then in, I dunno, the early 80s, he grabbed it.

Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela.

Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless
warmongering.

It failed 48-51.

Murkowski and Paul voted yes.

Fetterman voted no.

I have had that experience also. Kind of annoyed by how many people in my neighborhood need food when I do. They can’t plan ahead?

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ..Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think AI can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

My mental checklist at work:
I feel warm
*is it low blood sugar?
**No,I just ate
*Are you wearing a thick heavy sweatshirt on a warm day? Are you posting from the couch while under your “couch flannel sheet” which by the way, isn’t a thing?
**results unclear

Much as I wish it were true, billionaires aren't stupid. They aren't as smart as the media lining up to fellate them report, either--but they aren't stupid.

They think WE are.

When Andreesen & Co. word-salad about AI making everything free, they do so because they know we'll buy that nonsense.

So you have to go psychological. Tell her you’re GLAD you lost that game. See how she takes that.

Democrats should go on TV to say they need to impeach Trump because of the cocaine-fueled pedophilia parties that he holds in the East Room of the White House with his friends in MS-13.

I mean, if he gets to lie shamelessly, why not them?

I’m not going to tell you how to live your life, but it would be KINDA hilarious to like, leave a big paragraph in your will describing how that loss left you feeling betrayed and then disowning her. Kind of a big commitment for a gag.

It is taking basically all my restraint to not post a play-by-play of my Triple Yahtzee victory against my Dad. Because if I hadn’t gotten a surprise Yahtzee at the end, Dad would have won. It was a very big deal, but only to me and not actually big or a deal.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?
