If you look around and think things seem really, really messed up, just remember, the world has been recalibrated around the folks who actually want to "click yes to fill out a brief survey". It explains a lot.

The thing nobody is talking about, which should really be taking up more media space, is how Jon Ossof gives off serious Rod Serling vibes. I mean this in a good way. We are way in the Twilight Zone now.

Today in irony: The NY Times is reaching out to tradwife-curious women to hear their stories, but for this to work shouldn't they be reaching out to their husbands instead?

@jimmykimmel.com I can't believe you missed the opportunity to call Spencer Pratt "Spencer for Fire" during your monologue after he lost his bid. I chalk it up to it being a very long year. The U-Haul gift was a class act.

JD Vance is what you'd get if Dunning and Kruger had a child out of wedlock and each desperately tried disavowing having known the other in spite of having done seminal work in the field of mansplaining.

Kara Walker is one of my favorite contemporary artists. This work, like all her work, is powerful, disturbing and tells a truth so uncomfortable you can't help but cry and say thank you. www.theartnewspaper.com/2026/02/24/l...

TRUE FACT: Until I was about twelve I thought "The Star Spangled Banner" was a song about helping your buddy José get a better view of a fireworks show called the Donzerly Lights, and the patriotic message was one of respect and care. As a country I think we should get back to that.

The Democratic establishment fails because they always, without fail, sideline their best, most passionate people. It was a weird strategy that worked in 1992 because the discussion then was between whole milk and 2%. We're not talking about milk anymore. Chuck (verb) Schumer—he's a wet sock.

A word of advice: Any time someone in a fascist-leaning regime says, "we can do this the easy way, or we can do it the hard way," make them do it the hard way. There is literally no benefit to letting them have it easy, even if you know they will ultimately get their way.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Trump's special announcement is that he's pregnant with Putin's baby. It would help explain the edema and the mood swings.

So now that all those guys who thought they wanted AR15s to stop the advance of a tyrannical government are having to come to terms with the fact they really aren't going to do that, can we finally have a realistic conversation about which firearms are truly compatible with civil society?
