I love @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com and watch him most evenings. But the sheer number of times he says "Donald Trump" in one show is driving me away. I can't stand to hear his voice or his name anymore. What is the benefit to hearing it 162 times in an hour?

My uncle would be so disappointed in the decision by @upenn.edu @upenn.bsky.social today.

I gave up trying to listen after 3 minutes. The aggrieved act is beyond gross. Middle schoolers aren't even this whiny and dramatic.

Thanks to all who have the stomach for it and report back to us.

Most of the time I can't decide whether to be flaming mad or to laugh at these idiots. But Pam Bondi generally elicits a laugh from me. She always sounds like a terrified first-time teen pageant girl talking about World Peace. πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

I know that the LA situation is infuriating & I have so many things to say about that.

But right now I need to tell you all that I just saw (for the 1st time!) the Meghan Markle video of her dancing in her labor room with Harry and honestly, that is all I needed to feel a little better. Who knew?

Trump preparing large-scale cancellation of federal funding for California, sources say | CNN Politics The Trump administration is preparing to cancel a large swath of federal funding to California, an effort which could begin as soon as Friday, according to multiple sources.

What happens if California decides to just keep the money they usually send the Feds? I know they probably won't but what if they did?

This is pretty hilarious but it also highlights the entire problem I have with AI.

This is not an important item. But if it can't do this easily and correctly, there is no way AI isn't going to fuck up important things.

I know, I know...it takes time to perfect new things.

But it's here now.

A post from 'the bad place' by Ian Boudreau:

"Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were) but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at Immigration Court or grabbing people for busted tail lights. Worthless

Spent a little time over in 'the bad place' just to get an idea of what MAGA is up to and instead found this gem. So true.

There are a lot of days that I think social media is just a toxic wasteland and we should not have invented it.

And then there are days like today. πŸ˜‚

In other words, I thought we were supposed to treat each other the same way we would have had we met in person. As it stands, there's a significant number of people who would be getting punched in the mouth these days.

After 13-hour hearing, House Republicans add public lands sales to natural resources budget bill Democrats said the bill was anti-public lands and anti-environment, even before Utah and Nevada representatives introduced an amendment to sell public lands in their states.

On top of being egregious, there's this: "...and would charge the public a fee to comment during environmental review processes."

Reminder that it's been 112 days out of over 4000 that we are stuck with this kind of destruction.

This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200.

The kicker: She was never charged with a crimeβ€”and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money.

Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.

I know that this story was released several weeks ago and have been waiting to see if I'd get a report. And here we are.

Now...a reminder that Elon wants X to be the single payment system for the government. He can't even keep my data safe on a social media platform.

I'm sure this will surprise no one, but my personal data monitor is reporting to me that X has 'somehow' given away my data. I know it says hacked or breached, but I'm pretty sure that we've already learned the call is coming from inside the house. πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ
