Reading US Grant’s autobiography and his quote from John Browns Body “John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave, But his soul goes marching on…” absolutely cracked me up.

Which was nice.

Didn’t have the editorial board from the Washington Examiner turning on him on my bingo card either yet here we are.

He uses the break room to microwave the tilapia that he scavenged yesterday from who knows where.

Another coonskin on the wall for Gov Abigail Spanberger.
When potential candidates are envisioned for 2028, Spanberger is not only delivering, but is providing an object lesson in dismantling a dysfunctional fascist regime that preceded her.
Mark my words,THAT will resonate w Dem voters

Starry background. Text: Fun Facts - the Lyrids have been observed since 687 BC! the Lyrids are known for fast, bright "fireball" meteors with glowing trails. the Lyrids are named after their radiant, Lyra, the harp constellation. Bottom: Graphic of the Lyra constellation with major stars and two Messier objects near by labeled.

Streaking fireballs litter the image in the upper left and bottom right corners. Text: What is a "fireball"? A fireball is a large asteroid or comet fragment that burns through the Earth's atmosphere. A fireball produces a dramatic flash in the sky. A fireball flash is bright enough to outshine Venus! What is a "radiant"? A radiant is the point from which the meteors appear to originate.

An image of Venus taken via lucky imaging technique. Currently at 90% illumination, it is clear that the top left (in the image) portion of our solar system’s second planet is dark (and thus not a fully illuminated circle). The rest of the planet is a yellow-white color from its clouds/atmosphere.

Batman slapping Robin meme. Robin says “Oh yeah? But what about...” Batman responds while slapping Robin with “Whataboutism is a Soviet propaganda technique of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counter-accusation or raising a different issue. Whataboutism changes the subject without acknowledging a problem.” The OP will never get this far because clearly thinking hard is beyond their capabilities.

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:

When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

Erin Biba C @erinbiba.bsky.s... • 18m Joined May '23 Also this sounds like a whole lotta bullshit sorry. What is the origin story of picking this symbol as your "tell the truth" reminder? I'm not saying this guy is a bigot I'm just saying this brings up more questions than it answers. Why does Tom Steyer use it? In an interview with BuzzFeed last year, before he announced he would run for president, Mr Steyer was asked about the significance of the cross on his hand. "It means to tell the truth no matter what the cost is," he said. "For a while now, I have drawn it on my hand every day to remind myself to always tell the truth. I later discovered that it has traditionally been known as a Jerusalem cross."

Gatekeepers like this are freaking exhausting. Hard to miss their sense of absolute moral superiority over the rest of us unwashed common folk.

What? Oh. Daaaaaamn…

Typical “pick me!” candidate. Didn’t get a lick of legislation passed in Congress, tried to usurp more accomplished Dems leadership positions (Waters) just because, bailed on hard won seat in purple district to run for senate seat in which she never had a chance to win nor any governing experience.

no basketball player - maybe no sports player - has ever had the hype that LeBron James did as a kid

he came into the league with his expectations set at “if he doesn’t finish top 10 all time he’s a bust”

he somehow exceeded them

At least she hasn’t killed anyone yet (cough…Pope Francis, AfD, Iran negations, Orbán…cough).
