OK, I have no idea how this is gonna land, but... Olivia Nuzzi is kind of a freak and a creep and I'll take it on faith that at one point she was a good writer, but I think that's inarguably at least temporarily not the case?

Hegseth knows he is not fit to clean Kelly's boots, so he's going to try to prosecute him instead.

Stephen Miller is a chunk of hardened excrement lodged in our nation's lower intestine. It's going to very difficult and painful to dislodge him, but if we don't, the country is going to die.

Do you think Trump is going to give Taiwan to China as a distraction from going to war in Venezuela as a distraction from releasing the Amelia Earhart files to distract us from the Epstein files?

So now that it's been determined her hiring was illegal, do you think Lindsey Halligan will resign before or after she gets disbarred?

That is also true, but I feel like people don't bring up the fact that if his ears grew even one more centimeter he'd be able to fly Dumbo-style.

I'm old enough to remember that right after the Reagan assassination attempt, Sec. State Alexander Haig shouted "I'm in control here!" despite VP Bush being in no way incapacitated. When Trump passes his expiration date, that exact layer of chaos is all will see for months.

I swear to God, the staggering incompetence of this administration is going to kill us all. If these people are not removed from power, they are going to stumble straight into an extinction level event.

Trump has given Ukraine a week to surrender to Russia. Zelensky needs to tell Trump to FUCK OFF. And Europe better understand that if Ukraine rolls over for Putin and Trump, all those Russian drones that have been testing Europe's borders will be done testing and ready for the next push.

"What I'm saying here is that I'm pretty much of a smug, sanctimonious dick, and that I have no problem being wildly overconfident about expressing the mediocre, half-baked, knee jerk bullshit that passes as opinion for me. I'm intellectually lazy AF, but still superior. That comes through, right?"

OK, here me out, I have a Theory: RFK Jr. died years ago. The brain worm is still alive and is doing it's level best to drive around it's host corpse, but, you know, it's only a worm.

Trump is just stupid enough to think he can ride the Epstein tiger. He has spent his entire life overestimating himself. It's his natural state. I'm very afraid of the collateral damage Trump's fall will incur, but the only way of avoiding that fall at this point is adhering to actuarial tables.

OK, LLMs are NOT the only answer to the question "Can we develop machines that think?" In fact, it's probably not even an answer at all, since parrots engage in more cognition than LLMs Why we think that this corrosive, shitty rabbit hole means we don't need any other answers is beyond me.

I'm just gonna say it. Mike Johnson, the weakest Speaker of the House in US history, makes my skin literally crawl. It's the combination of his complete powerless subservience and his smug, self righteous, holier than thou attitude as he stands idly by doing shit all nothing every single day.

I want everyone, but especially the media, to understand that Trump has made it acceptable to call someone "Piggy". It's fine, in fact I think we need to call Trump "Piggy" to his face. It will be chanted at him whenever he appears in public, but folks saying "Quiet Piggy" to his face? Even better.

When Trump goes down in flames, I'd like every business, college, law firm, billionaire, & foreign country that obeyed in advance and slathered Trump with bribes to suck on the fact that they might as well have shoved their money up a dead monkey's ass and threw the carcass in the ocean.

I think until there's a full apology, in any press gaggle all reporters should address Trump as "President Piggy." A little solidarity would go a long way. I know there are great reporters out there, but their acceptance of his behavior is what allows it to continue.
