Do you remember when the White House had good taste?
Back when the art had meaning, the rooms had soul, and the President had both.

I am a proud supporter of the New York City, Democratic Socialist, Zohran Mamdani!
Stopped by @unitehere.org local 100 yesterday to rally with some of the workers who've been knocking on doors week after week across the five boroughs.

The Epstein Investigation is so much bigger than you can imagine. It is not only about justice for survivors—it is also about the institutions and systems that protected rich and powerful men they knew were abusing women and children: the banks, the government agencies, and other powerful people.

The massive ai-backlash from left-wing media feels disproportionately fabricated. I am aware of the environmental and economic impacts, and yet, I cannot fathom how important it is to learn how to use modern tools in this era of economic uncertainty.

That judge is doing a good job of protecting this man from our government by giving him an order to stay within 200 yards of her courthouse.
It’s been happening longer than I’ve been alive. But, the current administration has escalated this tradition far beyond like anything we’ve ever seen.

This is a hot topic. Let’s study the facts before jumping to conclusions.
1. Chatbots are not alive.
2. Altman, and the people who run OpenAI, are living humans. They can (and should be) held accountable.

To my fellow white, gay males… don’t be these guys.
The Nazi haircuts... the hyper grooming… the ball shaving… the balloon knot bleaching… the Botoxing… and the soft, doughy puffiness brought on by the self-hating alcohol consumption... These Vichy bitches are the worst gays, and they’re boring as hell.

It's sad when I'm reminded that Snoop Dogg turned out to be a LapDDogg.
Snoop Dogg says he’s 'scared to go to the movies now' because of a lesbian couple being depicted in 'Lightyear'
"We're watching it ... my grandson is like, 'Papa Snoop, how'd she have a baby with a woman?' ... I didn't come here for this shit"
