I get that some people want year-round DST. Tellingly, it's the northern blue cities (Boston, NYC, Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle) that are most against the idea (9:30am sunrises in December)! & northern farmers don't need extra daylight in winter!

Still waiting for even ONE republican congressperson to object to Dear Leader’s offer of $5k checks (and now $90 Medicare rebates to seniors) if the GOP wins to object on the grounds that they’re ILLEGAL BRIBES.

Wildlife photography's funniest competition just hit a milestone, and the 2026 finalists are here | DPReview
A decade after its founding, the Nikon Comedy Wildlife Awards received more than 10,000 submissions for the first time, a figure its co-founders say proves humour is a genuine force for conservation.

The more bizarre the President's ramblings get, the more obvious it is that Miller/Vought are actually running the government and spending the taxpayer's money on Christo-Fascist projects like diverting funds earmarked for European defense to right-wing C/S American rulers.

I don't wanna COUCH my words here: I know JD Vance, his eyeliner, and absent Ashley Moody are used to running away from people when things get tough because they care more about themselves and their billionaire buddies than the people they represent. But this is my home. /1

@atrupar.com has posted bits of this interview that should absolutely terrify any thinking person in this country. Read the whole thing, and support Aaron's project: making sure we witness the president's mental deterioration in real time, unsanitized by credulous media coverage.

His audience doesn't apparently care, but there's no such thing as "a Hispanic." It's an adjective, not a noun! Just like it's foolish to say "a gay" or "a female" or "a military." I'll make an exception for "a deplorable" and he's the most one of all.

"When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’ ’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’ ’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.”

So this means 1) they could end inflation now but don't wanna, and/or 2) they're admitting they caused it by waging this stupid war. Which is it, Dear Leader? Why doesn't anyone ask him this?

Very productive meeting with President Xi for both the U.S.A. and China. Tremendous things will be happening. Like almost everyone else, he seemed to like calling the poorly and inaccurately named Artificial Intelligence to a far more accurate and important name, SUPER INTELLIGENCE. That would be “SUPER!” Everyone last night agreed, also. President DJT

So this story is WAY wilder than I thought The Trump post I flagged this morning because it includes Natalie Harp is actually based on the Getty photo you can see below. But there is one key difference -- MONICA CROWLEY'S FACE HAS BEEN EDITED TO LOOK LIKE NATALIE HARP'S WTF is going on here?

Journalists at CNN, MS NOW and Politico failed to maintain “standards of professionalism,” according to lawyers working for President Trump, who recently told a female reporter, “Quiet, piggy.”
The Trump administration accused media outlets CNN, MS NOW and Politico of publishing sensitive or classified information and failing to maintain "standards of professionalism" in a court filing Tuesday, days after President Donald Trump said the news organizations would be banned from White House grounds.

I find it very hard to believe that a millennial like Vance didn't watch literally hundreds of movies and TV shows in which the shorthand for an obtuse and uncool character was that he laughed at his own bad jokes and then looked around to see if his buds were also laughing.

Trump stood before the UN as a would be strongman painfully embarrassed by his rapidly diminishing political standing ... and advertised his determination to take revenge by doing far more damage over the next two years.
