Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

Hulk Hogan being dead means one less MAGA in the world, and that’s how I be thinking from now on. Death doesn’t exonerate Nazis.

Cancel CBS.
I will admit it is vaguely darkly funny to make your whole thing "comedy is legal again" and then use the weight of the federal government to shut down comedians in unprecedented ways. like if they somehow outlawed saying "merry christmas" this year
I think like many, many people I find the idea that CBS has just cancelled Colbert out of the blue like this for financial reasons *highly* implausible. He’s the most viewed late night host on TV, and his ratings have been going up.

Instead of watching MLB's homerun derby this evening, I might check out HGTV to see if there's a paint-drying competition on the go.

“Fatal Attraction” starring Musk and Trump

I believe that, soon, Trump will present the citizenry with a newly-written version of the Constitution to replace the current one. That way, nothing they ever do, going forward, can be considered unconstitutional. Project 2025 is a guide book that will give birth to a new Constitution.

Love to see Trump erect a huge statue of himself on the WH lawn so it becomes a focal point for protest and, ultimately, the country's liberators can have the symbolic satisfaction of destroying it. Trump likely has dreamed of such a monument but worries about being able to get it up and keep it up.

All those people in the U.S. who, for decades, have hoarded their guns as a constitution- and God-given right in case the government came after its citizens… Hello? You awake?

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil.
It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

You can't just wait for the pendulum to swing back and forth; sometimes you need to give it a good hard, violent push.

The resistance to women like AOC becoming president has nothing to do with policy.
It’s about power, and who we’ve been conditioned to believe deserves to hold it.
Let’s challenge that.

I’m done talking to conservatives. They can’t see what they can’t see. From now on, I’m talking over them, around them, and through them. It’s all that’s left.

Where’s the coverage on mainstream? What good is 24-hour “news” if you won’t cover actual news when it happens—and it’s happening all day. That’s literally why CNN, MSNBC, and CBC Newsworld were created. And yet they capitulate to despotism.
In the crowd in NYC. No way of knowing how many people are here. Tremendous mob.

Being right about where things were going all along and where they're going has no reward.
