I think Mitch McConnell has reproduced. By budding.
A clipping from the Wikipedia article on “budding”, saying a particular type of budding is the reproductive method favored by parasites like Toxoplasma gondii.

I think they’re being cute - the C-32A becomes AF1 with POTUS onboard. And it’s old. So they’re “not” “lying” when they say he flew back on the old AF1. But they’re not telling the truth either.

@nytimes.com The cardinal sin of aviation copy editing: www.nytimes.com/2026/07/25/u...
An article describing Trump’s billion dollar boondoggle Qatari 747, but using “hanger” in the closet sense, vs. “hangar” in the airport sense.

I’m not normally an NYT-basher, but, I mean, COME ON!!!
Headline states: Secret Assessments Contradict US Claims of Decimation. Then states: Iran has operational access to 30 of 33 missile sites. Scribbled over the image is 30/33 ~= 10%, and an arrow pointing to the word Decimation.

I attended a south burbs HS that was run by Augustianians - now get to see my old teachers and admins tell amusing stories about the Pope. And my wife’s family’s neighbor grew up with the guy and is a lifelong friend. Life can be amusing.

Draw Fours are a thing. […] Why must our President not only be a raging, corrupt, senile, criminal, oafish, petty, horrible, corpulent, lewd, semi-sentient lump of STDs in vaguely human form, but also be such a complete and utter dolt?

Good to know that historical re-enactors for “America 250 (tm)” won’t have to do a thing to convey the progress in enfranchisement we’ve made since our nation‘s founding. Great work, fellow citizens.

The campus is probably one of the more diverse communities in IL; actually majority-minority. And with nearly 60k students that’s pretty sizable for the state. College Republicans have been pretty out there for some time. This round looks ghastly, but their numbers were pitiable in my days there.

Just getting around to this Times interview with Trump. Happened to see something on his desk that looked curious. Some tweaking, and by golly that’s a Top Secret cover sheet just sitting a few inches away from the reporter’s mic. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...
Trump in the Oval Office, behind the desk, with his hand hovering over a document that says “TOP SECRET” in bold letters while answering questions from NYTimes reporters.
