Diane Keaton was not the “dies at 79” any of us were hoping for today.

Circling back: why do people act like you are crazy if you suggest that the guy who famously tried to cheat in 2020, and who is very obviously trying to rig the 2026 election over a year out, miiight have cheated in 2020, with the help of the richest and most powerful media moguls who’ve ever lived?

It’s weird that every president to cone out of California is more damaging than the last: Nixon, Reagan, Miller…

I can’t be the first person to notice that there was another functioning escalator right next to the one that the president got stuck at the bottom of

It’s hard to claim that anyone is the “most high-profile” person among any minority group in the US; except, I think, for trans people. The most widely-known trans public figure in the country is — famously, bewilderingly — a conservative Republican.

Despite the hysteria, she is free to Rohm.

Ok, let’s build something new! Question: what do you suggest we do with the hundreds of millions of people who think the flag is good, actually?

Surely you can think of a better word than “tussle” to describe unarmed people who broadly share your objectives being attacked by heavily armed agents of the state

The stock has not dropped 7%, why spread disinformation?

Are you suggesting that their targeting of trans people is a passing fancy? Because this is not a “different boogeyman,” it is a continuing escalation of a dehumanization campaign they’ve been running for many years

You’d think there’d be at least one billionaire media baron whose ego would compel him to think, “I can be the one that beats him,” but nope: sniveling cowards, to a one

Finally, something Americans from both sides of the political divide can agree on: being deeply saddened by the recent death of a public figure in Utah

I wish we had real journalists, the kind that would shout “Mr. President, how does it feel to know you’ll be dead of natural causes soon!”

Is it “political violence” to suggest that someone who keeps confessing to having people killed without due process should face some repercussions?

We lost Quincy Jones, Mark Snow, Alf Clausen, Lalo Schifrin and Ozzy Osbourne this year, and the In Memoriam was bog standard weepy country music. How clueless are these producers that they highlighted NONE of their music?

(And I looked away for a second — was Schifrin even in the montage?)
