I think we need to get better at whatabout statements. Whatabout statements are important; they mark right wing hypocrisy.

But what if we build in more? If @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social said, "Donald Trump admits he's not able to exercise self-control Obama did," it'd ring differently.

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

This story is bananas. The closing line “Hegseth wrote to the group—which, at the time, included me—‘We are currently clean on OPSEC’” confirms that they’re not only inept, but confidently inept. Which makes them orders of magnitude more dangerous.

Conan: You know, Anora is having a good night. That's great news. Two wins already. I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian.

Hey Spotify, going from Black Sabbath to Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros is a real choice. With everything happening in the world, I’m not really in an emotionally stable place to deal with that kind of genre shift.

Hello attractive lady! I would love to return your smile, but I am currently using every bit of my mental capacity to make sure I do not fall down these slightly steep stairs… and I am only barely holding it together. Maybe next time.

Sir, I understand that you have forgotten which locker is yours and that is confusing, but I assure you that having your genitalia flying free while you wonder around the locker room is not helping you find it any quicker. Throw on a towel and we will all be happy to assist.

I don't understand the question, and I wont respond to it.

Caught a glimpse of the owners of the car and presumably the cup of coffee… and there is definitely a story that could fill out an eight episode limited series.

Update: coffee has disappeared. Probably a coincidence, but I choose to believe it’s a vast conspiracy, where the Illuminati saw my post and knew they had to cover their tracks and remove the abandoned cup. I vow to keep investigating. #iwillnotbesilenced

Cup of ice coffee on the roof of a car for far too long

This ice coffee has been on the roof of this car for three days. I’ve never been more interested in the backstory and fate of a cup of coffee in my life. Would staking out a parking lot be considered inappropriate?

Definitely! But they must be improvised. I only do freeform odysseys where I interpret the meaning of life. I will not have my art stifled.
