This is weird. I am pretty sure alien life exists. But I don’t believe they are visiting New Mexico.

Those are different questions.

Fuck these people.

I was an athlete my whole life. Played competitive sports into my 50s. Ran a marathon. Did a triathlon.

I still had to have heart surgery at 44 because of a genetic condition. I have asthma that needs constant maintenance.

Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."

This is some real”…and the clocks were striking 13” bullshit.
Leavitt: "The White House is supportive of the Dept of War's investigation into Sen. Mark Kelly, and I think what Sen. Mark Kelly was actually trying to do is intimidate the 1.3 million active service members."

What if—stay with me here—our government were run by weird, racist boomers with bad ideas about everything?
Duffy: "Trump talks about the golden age of transportation. But the golden age in transportation truly begins with you ... People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly ... so we want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season: Help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

I think Mamdani did an amazing job with Trump, he was charming & warm but also disciplined, on message. I also think it’s a mistake to think there’s a cheat code with Trump, that when he abuses someone, it’s the target’s fault… you cd do everything “right” & the man can still explode

In other news (not words, thanks autocorrect) my wife got a new red light therapy device and it looks like the Pixar lamp has gone to the dark side.

It’s a weird feeling that some of the nicer reviews I get are from scammers using AI to praise my book so I connect with their private book “community“—for a “small”fee, of course. Also, this AI doesn’t know how to use commas.

Wut?
President Trump’s recent statements accusing Democratic lawmakers of making “seditious” comments to military and intelligence community members have ignited a free speech debate.

Imagine being so terrible that the former VP who got us to torture a bunch of people (for a war he wrongly started) and shot a man in the face (and then made that man apologize to him) won’t invite you to his funeral. And you’re the president.

How much of a loser are you? #askingforafriend.

They were exciting.

No. Really.

First off, my suspension has ended. Got a little harsh with a post a few days ago but I didn’t have my feet on the ground and I’m sorry if I offended anyone. Will try to be more chipper. Knock on wood!

This is a spectacular level of idiocy from Leon.

The Iliad is about “fighting for the princess?”

That’s a weird thing to call Patroclus.

Also, he posted the Odyssey.

Let's explain how stupid this is. I pay +/- $400 a month, & my employer adds $700. That's $1100 a month. $13,000 a year.

$13,000 x 100 million (estimated paying insurance customers in the US) = 13 x 10^12, or 13 Trillion Dollars in one year.

Believe anything Trump says, you are an idiot.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

There has never been a more Lucy v. Charlie Brown moment in the history of moments, of which there are a lot, let me tell you.
Shouting, “DON’T GO IN THERE, YOU IDIOT!” at a horror movie, except it’s the dismantling of crucial healthcare legislation.
