I’m really sorry about your pup. It’s a fucking crime that our babies don’t live as long as humans and proof that there is no god.

Remember, things can always get worse, and when you suggest otherwise, the universe takes that as a challenge.

Every time he says something completely insane or incoherent and the media basically ignores it, they look more and more disingenuous for acting like Biden was some doddering old fool and I am so fucking sick of it.

New in PN: Diesel Don is tanking the GOP "Making matters even worse for Republicans, the bitter yet deserved irony is that key constituencies across Red America that elected Trump are particularly hard-hit: men, whites, farmers, rural citizens, and those from the South and West."

Diesel Don is tanking the GOP

Record high prices are one of Trump’s defining political failures.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

The U.S. President discussed the war in Iran, press freedom, AI, and more ahead of the midterm elections.

I went to Geneva a few weeks ago and spoke on a panel about the nature of time for a Geneva Watch Days event. While I was there, on a lark, I entered a competition to most precisely calibrate a Swiss watch. And today I found out that I won! 😃 www.instagram.com/reel/Dd6hUTB...

Me peering through a little magnifier at a tiny watch mechanism connected to some monitoring equipment, while making adjustments with a small screwdriver

You still didn’t explain how voting against Trump got us Trump. Because it didn’t. That makes absolutely no sense. I didn’t ask how you felt about the Dems. I asked how voting against Trump got us Trump.

Missouri Republicans really want to run the midterms on a racist MAGA map. Last Monday, the 8th Circuit said yes. On Friday, SCOTUS was like 'wtf, man' and smacked down the 8th Circuit for ignoring TWO prior orders requiring use of the non-racist map. The ruling ended up helping Black voters. 👀

“In addition, giraffes are now tall horses. Because that’s what they are. They’re just tall horses. Everybody knows it, they just don’t say it. I’m not afraid to say these things. And those so-called capybaras will be known as ultimate guinea pigs.”

We have 2 adult black cats, a male and a female, and when we adopted our tuxedo baby recently, we thought the female cat might act maternal. Well, she wants nothing to do with the baby (girl, I understand) but our male cat has happily taken on the role of attentive father.
