In April 2020, my then-5yo came up with a song called “Join The Team”.

Would also think now would be a good time for the same media folks who beat the “Biden is old and feeble” drumbeat to do similarly.
Donald has been posting unhinged, incoherent ramblings for a decade now, but his recent threats against sovereign nations brings us into totally new and dangerous territory.
It’s time to start asking Republicans why they continue to back a man who is so obviously out of his mind.

It cannot be repeated enough that branding immigrants as criminals responsible for bringing social ills to the U.S. is as American as apple pie.
Look at this cartoon from 1903.
Those rats in the water are the ancestors of Greg Bovino, Stephen Miller and Howard Lutnick, among many others.

"Self-binding is over and Donald Trump killed it."
It's hard to swallow how one person could kill 80yrs of US power, and yet, here we are. He's a perfect storm of conman and carnie, abuser and villain. And he was elected twice.
This is a tough, but impt, read

Publishers have treated readers like shit for so long that they've trained readers to not read stories.
Which is why headlines like these that state plainly what's happening are so important these days.

Love how the president of the United States, who historically couldn’t manipulate the stock market, is tanking our economy and whatever retirement funds millions of us have.
As always, thank you John Roberts and Mitch McConnell.

As typical, the WHPC and National media turned a nothing into a something, airing the scream 633 times.

1. The mascot is a Phish fan.
2. Fully subscribed to the theory that our timeline got forked after the Cubs won the World Series in 2016 and the only way to get back on track is for the Bears to win the Super Bowl. Because, why not?

Haven't been on a plane since 2022, but is this normal now for airlines to require you put in your gender?
Also, I can choose to give United more money for them to be more sustainable? They really charge for everything! (And I thought extra charges for things like 'legroom' or 'storage' was wild)

There is a livestream on YouTube to celebrate Bob Weir, and I marvel at how cool it is to have the technology to watch a live show with thousands of other people while also how fucked it is that YouTube feels the need to inject AI into the chat.

With the Olympics in Italy starting in 3 weeks, genuinely curious whether NBC is trying to get Trump to walk back a bit. The company has $1B in ad rev coming its way, and if the world decides it's not worth going to Italy at this moment, and people don't watch, Big Business loses a lot of money.
