They're sticking with the dieresis on social media. Gotta respect it.
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

This is a war crime. It's no different than Nazi submarines machine-gunning survivors from a ship they just torpedoed.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Hegseth is very unlikely to be in office when Democrats take control of the House in January of 2027, but if he somehow is, impeachment and removal of this incompetent and disgusting war criminal should be a priority. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The Google iOS app now has an AI image generator on its main screen (the banana icon) that automatically opens the front-facing camera. I asked it to make me look like a Simpsons character and I have to say it captured my resting bitch face shockingly well.

oh this is absolutely what i think. i think they feed him fake polls and outright AI slop
At this point, I wonder if he isn't lying when he says he has "my highest Poll Numbers, ever" since it's entirely possible that's what his aides are telling him. It's quite likely that there's an entire Potemkin village built around Trump right now.
