Now Lil John is performing ‘Turn Down For What’ as Geoffrey Giraffe DJs on a Toys R Us float. I pledge allegiance to whatever this is. 🫡
Busta Rhymes performing a medley of his hits on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles float during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade is everything I love about America.

Used in a sentence:
“And evermore, deep in his small and ancient brest, there stirred a sorrow sharp as winter wind—a hiraeth for the numinous lands of Faerie that slipt into legend many ages agone.”

Bernie Sanders and Chuck Schumer bareknuckle boxing shirtless in a parking lot, when? Let’s gooooooooooo
Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

The funniest part about the Elon clip is the end when he’s being earnest cuz it’s exactly what I’d say to roast him “Beep boop I am a robot. The phone will display the pixels and play the sounds that it anticipates you would most like to receive. End transmission”.
Even Rogan looks bored.

The really fun part, every time the president says something utterly psychotic, is that right after all his little toadies and goblins go on camera to say that he didn't mean what he said and that you're stupid for thinking so, his next move is always to announce that he meant every word of it

It’s times like this I really wish we had a functioning democracy.
The President called for the murder of Congressional Democrats.
Congressional Democrats should call for his immediate removal or resignation.
Congressional Republicans should condemn his statements and call for him to recant them.
It's the very least they should be doing!

My middle schooler told me his speech won in debate class by like 7 or 8 votes. ‘It wasn’t even close’. The topic being argued was ‘Which sport is better- football or soccer?’ He was arguing on behalf of soccer. I’ve never been prouder.

My 12 year old was so excited to show me that there was a new Homestar video out today. It’s advertising their 25 year anniversary merch which made me feel a zillion years old. I loved the cartoons in college and am delighted my kids love them now.

One horrific thing to me is that the president- a man who has gotten away with everything including literal murder up to this point- seems extremely nervous about anything regarding Epstein coming out. Like how bad does it have to be
