Democratic Socialists have not been talking enough about the absurdity of Teddy Roosevelt replicants waiting in the hot sun to the sounds of “Hot Stuff” while waiting for Trump to speak the other day. All they want to talk about is affordability, equality, and taxing the rich!

My iPhone wants me to turn the volume down while I’m listening to #GreenDay. I don’t think so.

The algorithm apparently knows exactly what I’m doing at this precise moment. Why else am I seeing your post? I want to get up, but someone won’t allow this.

If we just give Hitler the Sudetenland, he’ll stop all of his territorial ambitions, we’ll have peace in our time, and I’ll get the Nobel Peace Prize!

As he placed the blue jockstrap over his head, the orange weeble said the heady scent of the FIFA Piss Prize reminded him of the gold-plated showers he once was gifted in Moscow. “If that happened today, I’d run afoul of the Emollients Clause,” he joked. “But it would be worth it.”

Yesterday I handed President Donald J. Trump a blue jockstrap and told him it was the FIFA Piss Prize. Then he placed it over his head and cooed like a dove.

“You wanna do it, Charlie? Right here. On the oriental.” Just checked: PRIZZI’S HONOR was released June 14, 1985, so I’m a couple of weeks late wishing it a happy 40th birthday! (I was 18 when I saw it on its first run.)

I agree, Dave. Everything is fine. You have nothing to worry about.

This chart shows the value of the US dollar vs the British pound during 2025. It peaked in January, before the inauguration, then began to fall, and today is at its lowest value since October 2021.

Selfie taken in an elevator. Not retouched. This was a total accident. I only wanted to take a photo of the texture and didn’t realize I’d be reflected back in some kind of mysterious 3-D way. Weird.
