Screenshot of more stupid shit or whatever (I didn’t read it) from the Republican candidate for Indiana Secretary of State, to which I replied, “Gross. No.”

President Trump and Secretary Hegseth are the very worst of us. The death penalty for the crimes of this convicted killer is the law of the land. I don't think it should be, but it is. But livestreaming his execution and turning it into an undignified circus is a choice. A shitty, shitty choice.

Oh haha. Sorry for the cliffhanger. It was all of the above.

Screenshot of a text in which Sen. Elizabeth Warren invites me to donate to win a chance to meet her and, peut-être, find amour 🤣

TEXT! PREVIEW! QUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIZ! Is this message from: A) A rando trying to get me to fall in love with her? B) A rando trying to get me to send her money? C) U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren inviting me to enter a contest or something to meet her in person or something? D) All of the above, lol?

A text message preview with the phone number scratched out. The first line of the message is, “I want to meet you.”

I don't think I had ever seen a photo of him before watching the debate last night. I told a friend that Max Engling looks like the bad-guy jock in an '80s movie.

I got my $500 ACA refund-or-whatever check. In the letter that accompanied it, the President said I’m “hard-working.” (Loooooooooooool.) So do I just sign the check over to DraftKings or WhateverTheFuckSportsBetAppThing, or am I legally required to spend my five hundo on vape pens and Drakkar Noir?

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Make stuff. Do your hobbies. Geek out with your weird friends. Practice arts and crafts. Every society that ever burned to the ground left behind only the handicrafts, and every society saved from the brink was saved only by arts. Do not give up the joy of creating.

Artificial intelligence has been around long enough for me to have read this headline without thinking to myself, “WHO THE FUCK IS BIG AL?!” and yet… Maybe we could use “A.I.” instead?

“I’ve had a bit of cocaine” is such a funny line. Beautifully written and expertly delivered. I saw the outrage when #RideOrDie got canceled after one season, so I’ve started watching it, and the outrage is well deserved. What a treat this show is.

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...
