Columbus bragged in letters about raping 9-year-old girls & selling them into slavery.

So of course, Trump is using him to replace Indigenous Peoples' Day,
calling Columbus the "first American hero."

Maybe he can rename it, Trump-Epstein-Columbus Day. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

blah blah Hunter Biden blah blah Burisma yada yada

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

I’ve reread a lot of King over the years , but don’t think I’ve read that since high school. Should make that an October read!

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

They make up lies about paid agitators doing violence, and attach them to the name of a prominent Jewish person. This is antisemitism, and it infects every part of the GOP.

Oh, yay! I felt so alone on “Maestro was awesome” island!

Oh yes. I’m also a big fan of his setting of Fear No More. Ravishing indeed!

Apropos of nothing, I still don’t understand how “Ariadne” hasn’t become a cabaret standard. A gorgeous Sondheim love song that works out of context? How are we missing this?

“So, I’m interested in any particular ideas you have to meet this goal.”

“You could . . . quit?”

“Not your hoity-toity homosexuals.”

Kinda!

Can it make Spotify actually legitimately randomly shuffle a playlist?

The widespread media decision to frame international affairs as "will Donnie get the prize he wants?" is pathetic.

He's not the protagonist of human events. And to the extent he's a significant character in world affairs, whether or not he gets a prize is one of the least important things about it.

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

Trump only really wanted to win the Nobel Peace Prize for one reason – and you guessed it: it’s Obama

Carrot Top snubbed: Oscar awarded to Daniel Day Lewis.

It's important to focus on who won, not who did not.

Donald trump can still win the Nobel Peace prize if Mike Pence has the courage

I’m sure Trump will post a heartfelt and sincere congratulatory message to Maria Corina Machado for winning the Nobel Peace Prize, as any president with class and dignity would do.

“Robbing banks may be illegal. Who can say?”

It's wild to think that this, by itself, would have immediately ended the career of literally every other President we ever had. It would've caused tanked approval ratings, demands for resignation, impeachment proceedings. Headline news for weeks.

We elected the most soulless, self-absorbed empty suit we could possibly scrape from the gutters of late-stage capitalist grift. Twice.

This is on us as much as on him. As a country, we showed ourselves as infantile rubes and slack-jawed marks. As a people, we asked for this. Twice.
