For decades, birthday party clowns folded balloons and played games. John Wayne Gacy is taking a different approach.

we say it a lot but Dems absolutely have to demand impeachment, resignation, or a 25th amendment removal every day. Every HOUR of every day

You cannot let someone who talks like this have the nuclear codes until the next election and then just kinda hope the electorate does your job for you

(Today is also my wedding anniversary)

We just did a little Passover seder with mostly experienced players but a couple newbies who had never been to one before and the wife kept saying "dayanus" and like REALLY enunciating and it was the best thing that's ever happened to me

Absolutely lost my mind laughing at this one

When it comes to writing, the process is the purpose. You don’t have to always like or enjoy the process, but if you don’t respect it enough to do it yourself, there is no purpose.

AI will never fill that void.

Mary Wollstonecraft warned you that women who are only objects of pity and love, due to their “fascinating graces,” their “soft phrases, susceptibility of heart, [and] delicacy of sentiment” — in a word, due to their weakness (and not strength) — “will soon become objects of contempt.”

Uncanny. The only way to tell them apart is that Patrick Bateman has killed fewer homeless people

Ok but the upshot is I was volunteering with my usual group of septuagenarians and AI came up so I told this anecdote and then had the immense pleasure of teaching them what down to clown means

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

Today is the one year anniversary of DOGE's raid on the US Institute of Peace. DC Metropolitan police literally broke open doors at the institute's privately-owned building to let Trump officials bully their way in.

Read about my lawsuit to retrieve the body camera footage, and what it revealed:

I think PTA's acceptance speeches being glaringly devoid of any reference to resistance is emblematic of OBAA being unclear on what anybody's battling (again, except Sean Penn). His speeches occurred devoid of any relevant reality as did the revolutionaries in his film.

Way to go Diana!!!!

Everybody who liked OBAA says something like "they really did something with that that I've never seen before!" Ok WHAT. What did they do.

I watched a movie that held my attention & had great acting but I truly couldn't tell you what it was about or why anybody did anything (except Sean Penn).

Kakistocracy-ass haircuts

imagine this is how we find out UFOs are real

Extremely good/existentially terrifying wheeeeeee!!

We really need to know how it came to be that @sanders.senate.gov came to throw his full weight and reputation behind Platner like 5 minutes after the guy announced his senate run

Ok AND my most polarizing tattoo is of the Wife of Bath

I've only been here 3 years and Mainers deem you "from away" until you've been here for like 3 generations. They LOVE that I'm a mouthy New Yorker/Angeleno doing their hair so I stump *aggressively* from behind the chair, but politically I'd be dead in the water🦞

We don't have one, it's Platner or Mills and everybody's heads are exploding

How many of these guys have polymarket bets on Jesus coming back

I brought my copy of @theonion.com to work so my clients could enjoy and one was shaking so hard with laughter it probably took an extra ten minutes to apply her color, what a gift

Unfortunately lost my virginity to one of those guys in 2003 when I was too young to be deterred by his affinity for William F Buckley and American Psycho. Learned real quick those dongs just get off on bad faith arguing and moved on with my life forever aka am a staunch lesbian leftist.

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

It's genuinely kind of funny that people were mad about Bad Bunny not singing in English when the first song Kid Rock played begins as so:
Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy / Said the boogie, said up drop the boogie / Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy / Said the boogie, sai
