I keep reading that there have been no public executions in the United States for decades. Not true.

Whining about deserving the Nobel Peace Prize while greenlighting a public execution is the most insane character sketch I’ve ever seen

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

Just got a text about an annual local art fair happening this weekend Brought back a vivid memory of my mom and I going to this same fair 25 years ago, specifically to do something normal to take our minds off 9/11 for a few hours.

Dolly Parton was they type of Christian that Christian Nationalists only *pretend* to be. Unlike Christian Nationalists, she didn't browbeat us with how CHRISTIAN she was. She just lived her life doing things that Jesus asked her to do, like heal the sick, help the children, and care for the poor.

NBA is rigged! when Spurs had 29 point lead the game should have been immediately stopped and Spurs declared winner. Instead officials decides to play "4th quarter?" and Knicks "somehow" score enough baskets to win. Fraud!

I understand why so many people have stopped paying attention to the news, especially in the US, because I can feel my mental battery rapidly draining every time I try to stay informed of things that just happened in the last 48 hours

It is only natural, I suppose, that Trump would see the Presidential Records Act and the National Archives as "incriminating evidence." The rest of us see it as "history."

Melania Trump making a wholly unsolicited speech about how she didn’t have a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is like if I blurted out at a dinner party, “I was not the person who robbed that Wells Fargo yesterday.” Well, except for the part about me never having actually robbed a Wells Fargo.

This is getting confusing. Is the Iran war a distraction from Epstein? Or is Epstein now a distraction from the Iran war?
