My son got another exotic pet, an African giant millipede he named Medea. But at least he brought this one to college with him. The snake, Apollo, is home with me, so I have the pleasure of feeding him a defrosted rat every few weeks 🤢

Watching Ken Burns’ “The American Revolution,” I
find myself rooting for the Native Americans. Imagine if the Patriots and Brits had decimated each another so severely that the indigenous population could have taken back their land?

My daughter is hoping to attend college in Virginia starting in fall 2026, and knowing that @abigailspanberger.com will be the governor during her time in this (semi) southern state is comforting.

No Kings in Westchester County, NY. What was really fun is that Woody Guthrie’s granddaughter was there and we all sang “This Land Is Your Land” together. Very patriotic and resistance-y 🇺🇸 #nokings

I’m old enough to remember when Donald Trump was just a joke, a punchline—someone New Yorkers laughed at and never took seriously.

I happen to like President Clinton but if there are Epstein tapes of both him AND Trump, then I’m fine with throwing out the baby with the bath water (the nasty, dirty, skanky bath water being Trump).

Westchester County, NY: The Real Feel at 2pm is gonna be 108?! Hope we don’t lose power.🤞🏼 We set the AC to a reasonable 77 (takes the edge off) but people around here don’t use their brains; they set it to 68, a drain on the system!

Gavin Newsom is the white alpha asshole we need to run against the next Republican (who hopefully won’t be Trump 😬). America has declared that they love rich white dickheads, so Democrats should offer up one too.

Can we discuss the fact that Trump has been ending every Truth Social posts with, “Thank you for your attention to this matter” recently? Why?

Every night I toss a little food into the bushes by our house (in suburban NY). And almost every night, little Foxy comes to investigate. I love waking up to the Ring notifications.

Yes, the past two months have been awful beyond belief… but it’s also when we learned how incredibly hot Patrick Schwarzenegger is.

Val Kilmer in Top Secret was the pinnacle of both 80s hotness & coolness. RIP to a legend.

The U.S. imports $1.4 billion of beef from Canada annually. I think of Trumpies as being particularly carnivorous so a 25% tariff on Canadian beef is gonna suck for them 😂
