Trump: "They had restrictions on water. It comes down from heaven. You want to wash your hands, or like me, you wash your hair. I lather up. There's no water.

I'll make fun of RFK's policy decisions, but not his voice or appearance. He can't help those. He's clearly someone who makes a lot of conscientious and informed decisions about his health.

1.) The inevitability of death is what makes life special, get yer moments while you can, 2.) There’s no way that this doesn’t have in-app purchases and sudden rate increases that hold loved ones or at least the idea of them hostage, and 3.) great, more screens: the last thing we all need.

A confusing, infuriating facet of the Trump administration is how much time is spent talking about things of no fucking importance that should be left alone.
Hegseth: "We don't need to be a military of beardos anymore. Do you know how many troops claim to be Nordic Pagan? No, suddenly it's become this real fake religious affiliation inside the Pentagon where troops came to be Nordic Pagan so they can grow a beard and nobody challenges them on it."

RIP Michael Ray Richardson, a troubled and gentle soul who provided two of the most memorable quotes in NBA history. Asked during the 1981-82 season about the state of his Knicks, he said, "The ship be sinkin'." Asked how far it could sink, Sugar added: "The sky's the limit." You can't make that up.

Neil's going to die someday and I don't think there's a living rocker whose passing will draw more sorrow out of my corner of culture.
I certainly won't get anything done that day.
