Trump's alternative would be Kid Rock, the lyrical genius who sings, "I like 'em underage, see some say that's statutory (but I say that's mandatory)"

It's almost like he's trying to tell us who he is

The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World. This “Show” is just a “slap in the face” to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD — And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

One of my new gags is saying that William F Buckley built the house Trump moved into. It seems to annoy people who want to find reasonable conservatives bc they tend to think Buckley should be on that list.

The gag, btw, is that it's true. It's funny bc people think the gag is that it's not true.

Decided to give Hyrox a second go, but will try to keep it 0% of my personality. It was satisfying to complete an 8 mile run this morning (or, if you prefer, something in the ballpark of 12.8748 km). It's been a few years since I've run that sort of distance.

Odd. You'd think ICE would have much stronger evidence that Elon Musk is in the country illegally than the people they round up. And yet, it's on nobody's radar that he's at risk of being detained. Also more confident he's broken laws than a typical ICE detainee.

I miss the days when you’d be accused of Trump Derangment Syndrome for predicting things far less extreme than what we are seeing in year one. And, not be paranoid, there might be k worse things we don’t see or haven’t see yet

Should I feel weird that I'm not eternally grateful my parents had sex in highschool? I've not once thanked God that the second fastest sperm wasn't wiggling to the best of its ability that fateful afternoon and I hope I don't have to answer for that later.

Mike Johnson: "I was the product of an unplanned teen pregnancy exactly one year before Roe. A lot of people tried to convince my very young parents that they should just take care of that problem. But I am eternally grateful that they allowed me the chance at life."

I'm loving this controversy. It's very much a page out of Charles Travis's book.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.

And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

I don't know if it's fair to say that William F Buckley and his ilk built the house that Trump moved into, but I don't know that it's unfair. The main difference between Buckley and Trump seems to either be impulse control or a difference in belief about the strategic value of civility

Fwiw, I'm petitioning my university to follow suit and, fingers crossed, they will. Hoping that that's the next wedge. Universities can't be on the child porn site.

I have sent the first email in the campaign to get my university to leave Twitter/X. It is not in keeping with an institution committed to respect for the dignity of persons to use a site that's generating sexualised images of minors.
