Hey kids,who wants a plate of freshly made disappointment?

It Was on Your Table Every Morning Growing Up. It’s Dying Before Our Eyes. No One Wants to Face It. The powerhouse of American citrus is suffering a brutal decline. Everyone has a theory about why.

When I covered Trump's tariffs, I discovered that orange crops have cratered in FL.

This explains all the reasons--disease, climate change, overspraying, finance--why.

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.

For the record, for anyone who’s forgotten, it’s sheer madness for a president to contradict himself nearly every day. It’s profoundly wrong that we can’t trust the veracity of a single thing that he says.

The rotting fish smell of Bradford pear trees, explained They invasive, break easily, and smell terrible.

What's that smell?

Trump and Vance say he's a dope,

I'm sure you know I mean the pope.

Pope Leo's ignorant of theology,

They sneer with no apology.

He prays for peace and love,

What's this crap about a dove?

Trump is Jesus, Vance a Catholic,

What a pair, they're psychopathic.

Photo shows a heap of older style phones with the text “Planned obsolescence is now outlawed in France. It is a crime to intentionally reduce the lifespan of a product to force customers to replace it.”

Love France 🇫🇷 They understand the importance of the battery life of a Nokia 3310

How Christians
Justify Evil.

Amen.

Trump avoided punishments for his post-2020 abuses, but many of his lawyers did not For the attorneys who helped fuel the president’s efforts to remain in office, the consequences have been severe. Take John Eastman, for example.

And they remain mystified as to why it's so hard for them to find real lawyers who will work for him...

Eastman: disbarred

Giuliani: disbarred

Chesebro: disbarred

Clark: facing possible disbarment

Ellis: law license suspended

Pentagon press briefings now include:

Scientists find unexpected immune pathways for mRNA cancer vaccines The advent of mRNA vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 in 2020 changed the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, the Nobel-prize–winning technology is being adapted to fight cancer, with mRNA vaccines in clinical trials for melanoma, small cell lung cancer and bladder cancer, among others, opening the door to new ways of preventing and treating the disease. Scientists assumed that one specific immune cell subtype was required for mRNA vaccination to activate the immune system. But researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis show in a new study in mice that even without these cells, the mRNA vaccine still triggers strong cancer‑killing responses. That's because, they found, a cousin to this subtype of immune cell can also stimulate anti-tumor immune activity - an unexpected finding given that this related subtype is not involved in responses to other vaccines. The findings are published April 15 in Nature, offering a deeper understanding of how the immune system responds to mRNA vaccination and guiding the optimal design of a cancer vaccine. There is a lot of interest in applying the mRNA vaccine approaches used during the COVID-19 pandemic to the problem of inducing anti-tumor immunity. By dissecting which immune cells are involved...

Bluesky under attack. (Maybe you noticed that Thursday.)

"Bluesky’s website and app are still struggling on Friday after experiencing service interruptions that chief operating officer Rose Wang attributed to an ongoing cyberattack." techcrunch.com/2026/04/17/i...

What was their first clue? Trump's support, moving her to a Beverly Hills camp, or Todd Blanche's ass-kissing visit?

Trump believes diet soda kills cancer cells, Dr Oz reveals Physicians issue reminder to public after TV doctor and CMS chief relays president’s claim on Don Jr podcast

I keep saying, as a Trump biographer, that this man holds deeply deranged beliefs—on almost every subject—he cannot be talked out of by experts, to the point that it can accurately be said that he lives in his own warped reality.

25th this man immediately.

In case you hadn’t heard about it, this dude recorded thousands of Chicago area live shows over many years and has donated them to the Internet Archive. They’ve been processed to sound great. It’s like a time capsule of live music.

Due to the pope’s weak and ineffectual stance on crime, I’ve been given no choice but to join the Church of Satan

Meanwhile, in Houston, gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa is talking about Greg Abbott trafficking people into Texas’s private prisons and detention centers so that his donors will profit, and I really appreciate her for it.
