As far as first posts, I’m sure this is a rough one, but, hey, we all have to start somewhere! Click to hear my thoughts on the end of the longest government shutdown in US history… Hint: I’m a pragma...

In 2 years, will we be drawing lines from this #Mamdani victory to a #JohnStewart presidential run?

The sad truth is that AI porn isn't a thing because we don't need it. Simply put: There isn't anything that human porn performers won't do.

Being a Xennial bisexual means not being able to decide between D'Angelo in the "How does it feel" video or Teyana Taylor in Kanye's "Fade" video.

First reaction:
There are no words for what I just saw. 🔥
First hot take:
I recently watched 'Him' and all I can think is that someone over at Monkey's Paw is going to cry for a full year when they see this and realize how absolutely their team failed at what Rosalia did in less than 5 minutes.

The Exquisite Corpse:
I was in bed with my girlfriend and 'How Does It Feel" came on the playlist.
I made a comment about The Video and that divine body.
She, being from abroad, hadn't seen it.
Right there and then, we paused actual lesbian sex to appreciate D'Angelo in his prime.

Our nation will bestow the medal of freedom upon the day's leading neo-segregationist because he was leading his movement 'the right way'.
I knew daylight savings was approaching, but I, foolishly, thought that meant that we should set our clocks back by an hour... too bad I was off by a century!

When you're so old that 'Siberia Bar' raised you, it's impossible not to think of the 1/9 train. The 9 hasn't existed since The Aughts... and yet...

Stephen Miller really wants us to believe that, if you put 100 monkeys in a room to, randomly, bang on keyboards, it would only take about 26 days for one of them to, coincidentally, churn out an exact copy of 'Mein Kampf'. 🙈🙉🙊

Every single day, since the Biden revelations, I have sat here and waited for the Democratic party to wake the fuck up and give Kamala, Nancy and Hilary their flowers for being the ones to get off their asses and mobilize to neutralize Biden and bother to mount an offense to Trump. #StillWaiting

Can we just take a moment in all of this 'political violence' insanity to marvel at the fact that we're totally watching our generational version of 'Dog Day Afternoon' unfold before our eyes?! First music, then Marvel, now Crime is getting reboots too?! Who knew?!

Listen to the hand-wringing closely. They're all taking the opportunity of Charlie Kirk's assassination to specifically redefine the terms "Nazi", "fascist" and "racist" as mindless inflammatory slurs with no connection to meaning in the real world. The coordination on the right is unreal.

When I was a child, I prized the idea of free speech. I was on board to the point that I held dear the concept that we should protect the right of Nazis to march down main street... It wasn't until I grew up to understand that America is ONLY interested in protecting the poison spewed by the right.

Today's socio-political climate is what happens when society accepts 'the right to sling slurs' as the cornerstone of 'free speech'.
Sadly, attention spans today do not have the capacity to compute concepts like 'freedom of the press' or the right to protest without retribution from the government.

So, the guy who has a meme coin is trying to convince The Electorate that voting by mail is fraudulent.

Conventional political analysis of this moment is pretty clear:
If Newsom pulls it off and he manages to lead the DNC gerrymandering riposte that delivers the 2026 House majority to The Dems, he will land the nod to head the 2028 Democratic ticket.
Is The Savior being birthed before our eyes?

The decade Bernie Bros spent minimizing Trump's actions and drawing the 'both parties' equivalency has finally taught the DNC that mitigating the heinous consequences of his actions only prevents folks from re-evaluating his policies or disavowing him. Apostasy comes from a self generated place.

So wild to see Trump go out of his way to make the case for DC Statehood!
To ‘federalize’ DC, Trump needs Congress
After a DOGE employee was beaten in an attempted carjacking in Washington, D.C., President Donald Trump threatened to “federalize” the district. What does it mean to federalize, and can he do that?
