Seen recently on Linked-In, as an alternative name for Republicans. R soles. Still laughing at the exceedingly polite insult. Must have been from a Canadian.

Thank you to Callaway Golf and Good Good Golf for their absolutely *stellar* lesson on why DEI makes such great business sense. If even *one* of the seats at the table was occupied by someone other than a whyte bro-dude, we'd all be talking about something else today. youtube.com/shorts/KAScV...

Or, perhaps some of us choose to use y'all because it's the most inclusive way to address a large, diverse group of people. Assuming you understand the motivation and intentions of others is kind of a dick move.

Even with dementia, Fred Trump Sr. put on a suit every day & went to the office, where his phone only called his secretary, and his the documents he signed were blank. The people around him pretended everything was normal, while not letting him actually DO anything. Time to revisit that playbook.

Hairstylists, please help! The only time I can get these tousled beach waves is after I've worked up a good sweat in the garden. The rest of the time, my hair is stick-straight. Any suggestions for how I can recreate these fun and sexy waves?

Joe Biden took an hours-long secret train ride into war-torn Ukraine, and Trump got hustled away in a catering truck to get out of a friendly nation. OK.

Normal parents move heaven and earth to retrieve a child's favourite sleep-with-it-and-carry-it-everywhere toy. Not Rep. Max Miller. He purposely - and repeatedly - withholds his two year old daughter's blue bunny for...what? Divorce leverage? A power flex? The visceral pleasure of being cruel?

When the Orange Stain & all his sycophantic supporters are voted out, impeached, jailed, or otherwise dispatched, I hope the next Democratic President gives @marcelias.bsky.social the Congressional Medal of Freedom. If the United States manages to keep its democracy, it will be because of this man.

Dear Prime Minister Carney, You're doing a great job leading Canada. I'm sure you'll handle the latest threats from the U.S. just fine. A suggestion: On Aug 19, turn off the electricity across the north east. No lights, no A/C, no industry. Agree to turn it back on once Cabinet invokes the 25th.

This is a terrific illustration -- for elected officials but also for media figures -- of the incredible power of simply refusing to take a bullshit dodge for an answer. Keep asking the question, over and over again, and make the weasels squirm.

This week, Major Jason Watson did a brave and patriotic thing. He willingly gave up his rank, pension, and freedom, all because the President is a criminal and nothing is being done about it. If you wear the uniform, are you willing to do this? They can prosecute one. Will they prosecute thousands?
Major Jason Watson, USAF, in full dress uniform, stands on the steps of Capitol Hill, holding a sign that reads "Impeach. Convict. Remove." Major Watson was arrested shortly after he displayed this sign.

I've worked in politics for nearly 30 years, and in corporate communications for longer than that. This may be the single most tone deaf statement I've ever read. And on the night of the primaries, too. For shame. Do better, FFS. The entire world is relying on the DNC to wake up and DO something.

Here's my take on the sauerkraut thing: The entire White House already lives in the haze of his diaper and diet. When it comes to farts, most everyone can tolerate (even enjoy) our own particular stink. Sauerkraut as nasal ammo. The health benefit is a big one: they get to keep breathing.
