This would be a good moment for top editors in our major news organizations to call a meeting to announce to their staff that Trump has lost his mind and you don’t have to cover him like he’s normal anymore.

Friend of mine is extolling the virtues of swiss chard and I said, "I don't know, I'm neutral."
So now I am giggling madly while nobody respects my dadjoke game.

I’m a big fan of timelapses bc they show the multiple mental breakdowns I experience per drawing. I’ve heard some artists draw by knowing what they want a thing to look like and this is insane to me. I draw by going through every possible permutation of wrong for every single detail

“I’m dying.”
His tone was matter-of-fact and his expression perfectly serious, but Karys had the feeling he might be making fun of her—exaggerating, or telling a strange sort of joke at her expense. Her mistrust mounted as she scrutinised his face.
“You talk a lot for a dying man,” she said.

I was raised in a family in which the NYT was the adjudicator of reality. It's been a long few decades. Still, I've been learning. However, I must say, after careful reflection, what the holy fuckfathom have they been doing?
Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies

In retrospect, Republicans were correct about media bias against them. For thirty years, I thought they were spouting nonsense--or playing the refs. But they were right, and I was wrong.
