happy bday Brazilian writer Hilda Hilst, b.1930.

“The shortness of life, the dullness of the senses, the numbness of indifference and unprofitable occupations allow us to know but very little. And again and again swift oblivion, the embezzler of knowledge and the enemy of memory,...

...maybe - just maybe - he's actually the worst president in history

89 candles would have set off the sprinklers, so we settled for one — and one perfect slice of cake (with @bradtakei.bsky.social on ice cream duty). Thank you to every friend, fan, and fellow traveler who has made these 89 years such a joyous voyage.

Not sure wtf we're doing but it definitely doesn't feel like winning.

The Iranian government’s depiction of LEGO Kash Patel is lit.

And the do nothing GOP Congress continues to enable their clearly mentally ill leader to the detriment of not only the US, but the world!

I hope the takeover of InfoWars by @theonion.com and @timheidecker.bsky.social that resulted from the bankruptcy brought on by Alex Jones’ evil attacks on the victims of Sandy Hook brings you as much joy as it does me.

There’s something mentally wrong with the President of the United States.

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

"it's awful that his guy's playing golf...[and] in some ways, you kind of want this guy on the golf course more than you want him in the Oval Office."

This is fun

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

"This is an important thing to think about."

OPINION: "Donald Trump’s presidency is a morality lesson. He is a living example of what happens when a man is given power that far exceeds his character." thehill.com/opinion/whit...

As big as a fascist loser as Orban is, he's conceded. Trump wouldn't. In fact, he is still too much of a coward and twerp to have conceded 2020. Trump's last words will be "I will live forever"🤦🏼‍♂️

I’ll have what Hungary’s having.

Everything 🍊 touches dies. Not always a terrible thing.

How the fuck is the president and Secretary of State at a UFC fight in Miami while war negotiations affecting the world economy are falling apart.

And I know that MFer isn’t going to try to play golf tomorrow too.

This week's edition of the UK's New Statesman magazine isn't pulling its punches.

The Middle East is full of religious extremists who blindly revere evil men.

Oops! I meant *The United States* not The Middle East.

What a f*cking waste of lives and money. 😠

Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sánchez:

“The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.”

TY, I’ve devoted 1000s of hours hunting, reporting, blocking, and more importantly, EXPOSING Putin’s trolls since Obama’s first term; when they spewed Trump’s Birther conspiracies and HRC “Body Bags” conspiracies for him, 911, Illuminati/Soros, Flat Earth, Chem Trails, UN OWO, Climate Science “Hoax”

for me impeachment isn't what we should be after. this president and most of his cabinet and staff should be prosecuted for corruption, fraud, war crimes, obstruction, and all the various crimes they have committed. i will only vote for a presidential candidate in 2028 who commits to this.

We won't last 33 more months of this.

This must stop.

We must make it stop.
