I couldn't figure out what that smell was when I got home this afternoon. Like cinnamon toast.

Turns out it's the Mamdani/Trump bromance making everyone on Staten Island lose their freaking minds.

Waiting for the car wash to finish and the CNN panelists insisting that Donald Trump just wants transparency around Epstein makes me feel like I am taking crazy pills

These keystone kkkops are driving off with toddlers in violation of their own rules, common sense and any iota of moral clarity. Shameful, rotten, not to be borne.

Pro tip, the Airdrop "bump to send" feature is very handy when a bystander snaps a photo of, say, you hugging your marathon-running stepsister

Get your act together Disney & YouTube TV, I would like to watch the marathon

Is it crazy to go get a car inspected in the middle of the night?

Fantastic video from @emptywheel.bsky.social explaining the level of corruption for funding the new & horrifyingly tacky "ballroom" (IMHO it looks like the Vatican & Grand Kremlin Palace puked all over White House)

I think from here forward we need to call this the #EpsteinBallroom
Let them eat ballroom

Absolute numpties. Can't even do a vanity firing.
