I named my fists the Jets and Mets because I’m about to make you suffer.
I named my fists Common and Sense because I'm about to bring the Paine
I named my fists Blood and Meridian because I’m fixing to Judge your ass.

One thing that confuses me about VA disability is how the government thinks a veteran and a spouse need roughly $20 more a month than a veteran and a parent. And both of those need more than a veteran and a child.

You know Warren Buffett?

You know how he owns Berkshire Hathaway?

Have you ever been to the Berkshire Hathaway website?

When it comes to having kids in this day and age there seems to be a fine line between feeling like you missed out if you didn’t have any, or feeling like you dodged a bullet because you didn’t have any.

This guy not only faked being a Marine, faked being in combat, but faked being a POW.

Somehow he got benefits. He was only caught when he tried to get his rating increased- a strategy called poking the bear.

Score one for the bear.

For future reference, the next time an order like this happens, the person at the desk has to politely refuse, stand up, walk out of the room and into their nearest JAG office.
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.

Shopping for new litter boxes and I came across possibly the laziest-designed litter box.

This is one step above tossing your cat in the garbage and even the poor kitty in the picture seems to be confused as to why he’s in the litter stockade.

The year is 3025. The American empire has fallen. In its place a loose confederation of confections emerged. This is Donut world.

I know this is a minor thing, but even Republicans still call it the Department of Defense, not the Department of War.

It’s like how everyone still calls it Twitter, not X or the Gulf of Mexico, not Gulf of America.

The politics-as-therapy will continue until morale improves.

I watched his MTP interview. He’s fine. He’s a normal, young telegenic politician.

The people obsessing over him are desperate for a hero and I feel bad for the guy trying to live up to expectations that he shouldn’t have to shoulder.
Re Mamdani discourse I know some folks will not like hearing this but feels like the convo is becoming way too saturated. I really appreciate this guy and am marveling his win. And, I love New York but the world doesn't revolve around it.

How many more think pieces we will have to read? ...
