Literally nobody can trust Donald Trump, not in the entire world. More importantly, every single person, without exception, *everyone* who was even tangentially involved in conceiving, crafting, approving, or posting this headline, they all knew, without a doubt, that he can’t be trusted. And yet.

Listen I don’t care how many people switch bodies in this one, they still have the first two to explain to them why it isn’t as freaky as they might think at first
Freakier Friday? Terrible title. The same thing happened to them once before, which makes this Friday inherently less freaky than the first one

This guy put everything into following his dream of becoming an opera singer, *succeeded* at it, and his obituary wound up being “He was a mediocre tenor who one time accidentally stabbed his cast mate”

Q: What thoughts?
A: Oh, thoughts like “Our society is a nightmarish dystopia in which everyone’s thoughts are monetized.”

And to take it a step further, the thing that’s really wild about it is that I found out about it from someone else! Like, the constructor didn’t notify me in advance*, any more than they would have notified, like, [Brian ENO] or whoever!
*(Presumably, but I have many unread notifications)

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.
I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.
On a recent podcast Gavin Newsom tells Shawn Ryan how the Trans sports issue opened the door for him to change his mind on GAC for Trans Youth.
As someone who adored him since 2004 and voted for him 5 times, I can't wait for him to leave office.
There is no way I will be voting for him a 6th time.

Tonight was the first time I got to sit down and watch former Dayton Flyer Obi Toppin play a key role on an NBA Finals team, it felt great. Not as great as it felt when I watched him win the 2020 NCAA tournament for UD over in the Good Timeline, but still pretty great

If there isn’t a sign over the toilet asking you not to flush anything besides toilet paper because they have old plumbing, are you even really at a bar?

Look, I know it’s controversial, but I’m just going to come out and say it: in the first sentence of The Metamorphosis, “Ungeziefer” should be translated as “bug,” and I honestly don’t understand why it’s ever been translated differently
