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

Having recently read Deep Water, Strangers on a Train, and now making my way through the entirety of the Mr. Ripley canon, I still have to say my favorite Patricia Highsmith character is George Santos.

What I want, what I dream of, is instead of Project 2025, CONSEQUENCES 2029.

That is the whole platform. Everything else is secondary.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

“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.

If you like an author's work and want them to continue to write, the best thing you can do is send me money.

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

Whoa, I didn't see this coming! Is the party of 'Drown American Gov't in Bathtub' and 'Be Terrified of the US Government's Help' an enemy of the United States government?

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.
