This is a really good description of the modal Trump voter in my experience. They did it. They can't believe it is a big deal. How dare you judge them for it

One way it underscores how little we know about what is going on with the President's health is that Trump is likely using "MRI" in these gaggles like your (grand)parents used "Nintendo," in that he is likely receiving completely different intensive scans, but just throwing them in the "MRI" bucket.

In college in the Aughts, I rescued a humor book from the library's free table that just a bunch of 'memes' from the 60's.

And I use that word deliberately because when I was first paging through it at the table, I exclaimed louder than I should have in a library "Oh my god, it's full of memes!"

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."
Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

Update: the assembled cardinals have issued a (effective) rebuke at the behest of the pope
I can’t believe we’re back to medieval level conflicts like “local authorities deny catholic prisoners the Eucharist, bishop arrives, Papal sanction may follow”
Chicago Auxiliary Bishop José María Garcia-Maldonado at ICE detention facility: “Being here is an act of holiness…soon we will seek access to the facility to bring the Eucharist to our brothers and sisters; if they say no again, we will keep praying.”

The world's most obvious ozempic patient has thoughts on you using medications.
JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

We need to hammer into the Good at Math guys that they are much easier to replace with a foreigner than the Good at Words people.
Part of the issue is that Good at Words people are generally inclined to accept that people are all different ways and to think that’s just fine. Good at Math people have been allowed too much room to think that only they have the thoughts that matter.

Never thought I'd bear witness to the real life version of a HoI4 player clicking "justify war goal" on a random foreign country's diplomacy page
Trump says we are preparing to invade Nigeria. Apparently that’s what voters said they wanted in the exit polls. Trump: “We’re going to do things to Nigeria that Nigeria’s not gonna be happy about. Guns-a-blazin!”

this may actually be good but the perfect parody/satire of Downton Abbey is, of course, Gosford Park, written some years before Downton Abbey *by the same person.*

Jake Tapper would have driven to the White House with a gun if Biden had said this
O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Apologies, I entered a fugue state and this was the result, but I do feel like this could be an evergreen reaction to a particular category of @sharonk.bsky.social 's posts.

Netflix had dumped untold millions of dollars into Witcher stuff over the years and has yet to give me a show where a Witcher goes on new adventures in the countryside every week. Not one.
