The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

As you watch movies with Rob Reiner as part of the cast, don’t forget his turn as Goldie Hawn’s plastic surgeon in The First Wives Club ❤️

I’ve seen a lot of folks state that Rob Reiner made the two most perfect films of all time, and none are listing the same two films, yet they’re all still correct.

Things which can be freely blamed for anything going wrong, even minutely wrong:

1) solar flares
2) patriarchy
3) capitalism

CORDER LIST: 606 U.S.) FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 2025 24-109 24-110 ORDER IN PENDING CASES LOUISIANA V. CALLAIS, PHILLIP, ET AL. ROBINSON, PRESS, ET AL. V. CALLAIS, PHILLIP, ET AL.

Word limits and cover colors for the briefs should correspond to the provisions of this Court's Rule 33.1(g) pertaining to briefs on the merits rather than to the provision pertaining to supplemental

😬The Supreme Court will consider whether the intentional creation of a majority-minority congressional district violates the 14th or 15th Amendments.

If the answer is yes, SCOTUS will effectively declare that what remains of the Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional. This is very, very ominous.

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

The image is a heatmap titled "Measles," showing measles cases across U.S. states from 1928 to 2003. States listed on the y-axis include Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The x-axis spans years from 1928 to 2003. A vertical line marks the introduction of the measles vaccine around 1963. The color scale at the bottom ranges from blue (0 cases) to red (4,000+ cases), with shades of green, yellow, and orange indicating intermediate values (1,000, 2,000, 3,000 cases). Before 1963, many states show frequent high case numbers (yellow to red), while after 1963, cases drop significantly, with mostly blue indicating near-zero cases.

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”

Pecan pie, fresh from the oven

Haven’t made a pecan pie in a long while. Between the price of eggs and the price of pecans, this might be the most expensive pie I’ve ever made.

I hope it tastes good!!!

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

“These are life and death issues.”

Jeffrey Goldberg speaks out after top Trump officials accidentally texted him war plans.

Avoiding town halls, dismissing those who depend on social security, shamelessly hawking Tesla stock, firing thousands of veterans...

They're telling you exactly who they are accountable to.

Hint: It's not you.

Maverick: I just happe—

Goose: We!

Maverick: *We* just happened to see a MiG-28 do a 4G negative dive.

Charlie: Where did you see this?

Maverick: That’s classified.

Charlie: It’s what?!

Maverick: It’s classified—I could tell you but then you’d have to leave the chat on advice of counsel.

So many people ask me what accommodations students get at college for X disability (such as dyslexia). It doesn’t work that way. I explain why: https://bit.ly/ECHFAQ6

What’s even worse is that Hegseth leaked that Kim and Hugo got PINNED.

Reminder. Pass it on.

Well this is awkward

I know national security and war aren’t things to joke about.

But we really deserved the memes generated today.

Thank you all for your service.

Now back to our regularly scheduled *waves hands at everything*

I dunno…. How’re his texting skills?

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

I’d like to point out that Pete Hegseth was allegedly sober when he fucked this up.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Sigh. I don't know what to tell anyone who in 2025 still thinks Trump has ever shown business acumen in any traditional sense of the word.

Self promotion acumen, sure.
