"You know what's been missing from every single adaptation of Dickens' A CHRISTMAS CAROL? The chance to cast as Ebeneezer Scrooge: an actor of some renown who can vamp and gobble scenary while wearing 800 lbs of old age prosthetics and wigs! Finally, a Scrooge worthy of Dickens' vision, at last!"

As a South Carolina resident and voter, I'm upset we never got to publicly out, tar and feather Lindsey Graham. And then send him on alone to Iran, a rifle strapped to his back.

A motorcycle chase would be a tough push, but had you considered a very large explosion, with a really large fireball? And main characters who slowly walk away from it, towards the camera?

Kind of feel like we especially don’t need fancy law explainers at the moment. “Can the president just take money when he wants?” A third grader could answer this. A Yale law prof is likelier to write the wrong answer so their 2L can work for Alito

It's VERY important to understand what's happening with the NASA 🔭 budget. White House proposed cuts to everything *but* Artemis. The GOP-led House proposal restores the size of the budget BUT shifts spending, which is to say *House committee and White House agree on cutting NASA astrophysics* 🧪⚛️

House appropriators approve spending bill that keeps NASA budget flat
The House Appropriations Committee advanced a spending bill May 13 that rejects many of the cuts to NASA proposed by the administration.

Orban made grand appeals to “Christianity” and “Western Civilization,” but his “illiberal democracy” was just a scam, a way to make him and his buddies rich while subjecting Hungarians to stagnation and robbing them of their freedom. Sound familiar? (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Orbán rode to power on resentment over the economic stagnation that developed under center-left governments. But he leaves office with Hungarians facing falling wages and higher inflation than similar countries are experiencing. Orbán’s sectarianism and intolerance have sparked neither a religious revival nor a fertility bump; Hungary’s population is shrinking and has become more irreligious, even as Orbán has demonized LGBTQ people, “Muslim invaders,” and Jews. Orbánism, in short, did not make Hungarians more rich, Christian, or free—unless you happened to be one of Orbán’s buddies, in which case you may have gotten rich. As most Hungarians felt their economic circumstances worsen, Orbán provided them with relatively powerless targets to hate.

While Democrats almost universally oppose Trump’s War in Iran, many of them are considering voting for a bill to fund the war. This would be a catastrophic mistake. Here’s why: messagebox.substack.com/p/no-democra...

Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far. In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.
A screenshot of People Over Papers’ ICE reporting map. The map resets at 4 am ET every day. In Minnesota, over 100 reports have been filed today, with the overwhelming majority in and around the Twin Cities. 

Stay safe. Fuck ICE.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
