If you ever feel forgotten, remember: Amelia Earhart went down with a navigator almost no one remembers. Even when they said “Amelia Earhart’s plane found,” they still left him out. Some people just get written out of history—and it’s never about their worth.

Does he really think this is the worst photo of him? I’m guessing the Epstein files have some less flattering ones.

The Americans did back in the 40s. Canadians always had it first.

There’s no better exhaustion than the kind that comes from cooking a turkey—the quiet satisfaction as the carcass simmers into broth, the house still smells like butter, and tomorrow promises leftovers and soup. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

A “Kavanaugh stop” refers to the Supreme Court’s recent move to allow federal agents to detain people using “appearance, language, location, or work” as factors—essentially reauthorizing racial profiling and detention based on skin color and assumed ethnicity.

Guess Bret got his fame after all.

I looked this up at three different sources because I was sure it was an AI lie.

I guess we need an updated version of Video Killed the Radio Star.

Social Media and AI Kill the Video Star. A duet by Humphrey Bogar and Betty Boop.

Of course Trump got the flu shot and the Covid booster. He’s probably had shingles and pneumonia shots too because he’s old. His followers may hate vaccines, but his doctors don’t. He likes stupid people. It doesn’t mean his doctors are stupid.

Vaccines work.

If ever there were a single moment that captured the absurd collision of faith, force, and failure, it was today. A priest, a man meant to embody spiritual sanctuary, was pepper sprayed by an ICE agent.

Is America great yet?

Farmers keep saying they don’t want bailouts, they want trade. I keep saying I don’t want to work, I want to be independently wealthy. Feels like neither of us are getting what we want this year—but at least JD Vance isn’t invested in me losing my dreams the way he is in you losing your farms…yet.

What do you want? Bet they left all their trash behind. But soon they will have a self published book out on Amazon of their survival trial of being stuck at base camp with 300 granola bars.

We’ve reached the era of “I create sponsored content but if you wanna know if I actually like the product, DM me.” Just skip to the AI influencers—at least their lies come with better lighting and no moral conflict.

I thought they would make it the whole month. So many Democrats seem willing to help. I thought they would be able to pull the con off for a longer period of time.

Tallgirl6234 @tallgirl6234.bsky.social · 3d

I honestly thought they would hold out for a little bit longer. They didn’t even really make it three weeks.

Is it just me or are bananas suddenly betraying us? They look fine on the outside but inside it’s all brown bruises and heartbreak. I swear they’re going bad faster than ever. Something’s up with bananas and I don’t like it.

I shouldn’t be developing trust issues over bananas.

The “Purple Power” crowd has officially rebranded as “Restore Old America.” In case anyone was confused, they were never even a little bit blue—they just wanted Democrats to do their racist labor for them.

There are 1,000 people on Everest right now. It’s basically a tourist trap for athletic 1%ers. As they get airlifted out, all they talk about is themselves—not the Sherpas who kept them alive. “1/5 stars. Not as spiritual as expected. Too cold. Didn’t heal my trauma.

Media keeps saying people are returning home to Gaza. What home? It’s rubble and dust. This isn’t a Hallmark movie—it’s a war zone. Stop pretending devastation becomes hope just because the cameras turned back on.

Marjorie Taylor Greene isn’t on our side. She’s just lashing out at the same people who iced her out after she did their dirty work. She’s not rebelling against MAGA—she’s mad they’re treating her like a woman. Give her power and she’s right back with them.

Can’t wait to see how the history books frame this: ICE in Chicago, raiding a city and then complaining that private businesses won’t let them use the bathroom. You can’t call it an invasion and expect restroom privileges.

In what deluded world did you expect a welcome mat?

Like I’m 5: Can someone explain to me how Texas soldiers hanging out in Illinois isn’t a civil war? Cuz when my toys end up in the wrong play box, everyone says we’re fighting.
