It is very funny that this Pope is just going to get jerseys from now on. Everyone decided that's what this Pope likes and that is it. It's like if your grandmother got you a puzzle for Christmas one year and you said you liked it so your entire extended family is like "oh that's the puzzle kid"
Spike Lee just blessed Pope Leo with a custom Knicks jersey during his visit to the Vatican, just one week after the Pope was gifted a custom Chicago Bulls one.

Maduro is all set if he ponies up two gold bars.
I love that every foreign country knows all you have to do is tell Trump he's the best President ever and give him a gold bar. Like we can be bought for nothing now. No need for ambassadors or advisors anymore. Just bring Trump some gold and he'll let us drill in the middle of Yellowstone Park

"I was once convinced that my generation was destined to live in post-history.
It seemed that all the events had already happened and the rules were set.Empires had collapsed, independence had been gained, and wars were over.

Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.

It would be good if they had a next step, a next phase or act or ask for this little psychodrama.
"If it's as bad as it seems, he should obviously resign"
"I trust my Republican colleagues would agree America cannot be led by a pedophile & will join me in demanding the president resign"
"If it's as bad as it seems, he should obviously resign"
"I trust my Republican colleagues would agree America cannot be led by a pedophile & will join me in demanding the president resign"
Also, very funny how the Dems keep trying to do this “release the Epstein files!” thing as a naked base pander in mimicry of the other side’s conspiratorial muckraking, and then the files actually do get released, and it’s like “oh wait Trump really is all over these things, he really did it huh”

Of course JCO cuts right to the heart of it, which is that the people who've monopolized American public life over the last decade don't and probably can't experience joy. If they weren't doing so much damage the primary thing we should be feeling towards them would be pity
Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.
