Wishing this fabulously competent—and joyful—crew a safe return to a planet that, frankly, doesn't deserve them.

🧡 To my queer followers and Muslim followers and followers who believe in vaccine science, welcome to the NDP. We’re so happy to have you. You’re safe with us. 🧡

I hope they are all locked into a small room and left there to scream and starve until they eat each other's livers with a dull spoon. And then I hope there's video.

Yes, I'm a humanitarian. I only want what's best for people. And by people, I mean none of these rancid, soulless shitheels.

U.S. to lead ceasefire talks between Lebanon and Israel in D.C. as Lebanon emerges as potential spoiler to Iran deal The U.S. is convening hastily arranged diplomatic talks next week in Washington, D.C., aimed at crafting a ceasefire in Lebanon​.

Wow

Ceasefire agreement did include Lebanon.

Trump: "agreed that included Lebanon."

Mediators: "believed the ceasefire to include Lebanon."

Pakistan announced it included Lebanon.

"However, the US position shifted following a phone call between Netanyahu and Mr. Trump."

My impromptu press conference is raising a lot of questions already answered by the impromptu press conference

Frank Rich, 2007, on the White House correspondents' dinner:

"Washington wisdom had it that Stephen Colbert bombed because he was rude to the president.

"His real sin was to be rude to the capital press corps, whom he caricatured as stenographers."

Converting to Catholicism and then threatening the Pope with military action because you don’t like that he uh, *checks notes* is following Catholic belief is absolutely insane behavior

Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel.

I'm guessing that the Founding Fathers would have considered a foreign company building the President a special extension to his palace as an "emolument".

The New York Times Got Played By A Telehealth Scam And Called It The Future Of AI

Since the New York Times published its semi-viral big profile of Medvi last week — the "AI-powered" telehealth startup that it breathlessly described as a "$1.8 billion company" supposedly run by just two brothers —…

Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Mewling and puking. Then a soldier,
Mewling and puking etc
