Rainy day in Bangkok. Watching the press coverage of Velveeta Cheesus' state dinner hosting China's leader Xi, and l'm struck by the Vegas-level tacky gold script outside the oval office. Classy with a capital "K." I also note that the British online paper The Independent does not use spell check.

At this rate, Trump is literally going to run out of countries he can threaten with trade sanctions. Who's next? Narnia?

@deisyhx.bsky.social I rarely watch TV these days, but this headline comes as no surprise.

THIS JUST IN: Trump signs executive order renaming New York, New Hampshire, Newark, and Newport News.

What the actual fuck does Trump even know about the rules of soccer? The most athletic thing he's ever done is hoist a Big Mac.

Renderings of Donald Trump's planned "Arch of Triumph" have been released, and the design seems oddly familiar...

I'm just waiting for Trump to complain that he's been unfairly denied his own Olympic gold medal for some bullshit or another.

Are we really moving now from "second person killed by ICE in Minneapolis" to "latest person killed by ICE in Minneapolis"? When does it end? How many have to die?

What does it mean when ICE policy permits their goons to enter people's homes without a warrant, but the law, decades of legal precedent, and the constitution (except under a few very specific conditions), does not?

A little food porn from the sunny shores of Thailand. Fried egg, bubble 'n' squeak, fried bread, Sloane's artisinal sausages, gammon, grilled tomato, and toast with New Zealand butter and Australian strawberry jam. Not quite a full English fry-up, but really superb.
A small, English-style breakfast.

Trump says that U.S. control of Venezuela could last for years. How's that going to happen when he is no longer president?

Well, the nice folks on BlueSky said this would happen: Trump would start a war against Venezuela to distract from the release of the Epstein files. Now this.

These are a few of the replies to the Sociopath in Chief’s horrendous Truth Social memorial post to Rob and Michele Reiner. He’s shedding followers every awful day for his deranged behavior. He can’t sustain this level of depravity much longer. We cannot let him.

Could someone please tell me how affordability (i.e., the basic ability of people to buy the things they need to live) could possibly be a "scam?"

I'm no longer shopping at Home Despot because of their apparent cooperation with ICE. To be honest, I stopped going there a couple of years ago because I don't like walking half a mile just to buy an extension cord.

My friends back in the U.S. often ask me if I feel safe living in a developing country. If I had brown skin, I would feel decidedly unsafe right now. And then there are the mass shootings: 3 in Thailand from 2020 to today; over 2,300 in the U.S. in the same time frame.

Apparently, EVERYTHING is Joe Biden's fault. High grocery prices? That's Biden's fault. The Afghan shooter vetted under Trump's administration? Blame Joe Biden. Morning eggs were cold? Biden again!

"Land action?" Isn't that just a lame euphemism for "war?" Moreover, where is the congressional authorization?

I want to float an idea. I would like to see Sen. Mark Kelly, a decorated combat veteran and real-life astronaut, nominated to be Secretary of Defense. I believe he would serve ably and with honor (unlike the chucklefuck poseur in that position now). I'm curious about what others think.

The Democratic Party needs to become the party of deshitification. No excuses, no equivocation. Just a total commitment to deshitifying government, restoring critical public services, returning power to the people, and undoing all the damage done under the current administration.
