I hate broadcasting Trump’s thoughts, but I think it is critical that even people already dead set against him see the depth of his depravity and cognitive decline. Show this to people who still think he has good ideas about the economy or whatever they cling to.

Trump is completely incapable at any given point and in any circumstance of not making everything about him.

Six years earlier, I'm going to invent the genre that became the hook of the biggest sitcom of this century.
Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

Remember the part in the old Peter Pan play where Peter tells the boys and girls in the audience that if they all just clap harder they can save Tinkerbell?
That's what Trump's Cabinet Meeting reminded me of. A bunch of children wildly applauding him, all in an effort to bring him back to life.

If you think this administration has any interest in establishing ANY kind of democracy anywhere, I have a swamp in Florida to sell you.
As Donald Trump weighs military intervention in Venezuela, the U.S. should not forget one key fact, Michael Albertus writes. “Establishing a durable democracy is far harder than unseating a dictator”:
What Democracy in Venezuela Would Require
Toppling a dictatorship is easier than building a functional state to take its place.

I think tonight shows why “moderate to win elections” is a real risk
the big divide in the Dem caucus, as many have noted, has been less moderate vs progressive than fight versus don’t fight
but it’s not a coincidence that basically everyone in the “don’t fight” camp is a moderate
