All the big questions this morning at the ILT board meeting: "How come rubber ducks don't have legs?"

Little Frog stands next to his father, a strapping bullfrog. From "The Corner" In *Frog and Toad All Year*

“When I was small, not much bigger than a pollywog,” said Frog, “my father said to me, “Son, this is a cold, gray day but spring is just around the corner.”

Toad sits on a stool, glumly looking out the window while he tries to think of a story. From "The Story" In *Frog and Toad Are Friends*

“All right,” said Toad. “Let me think of a story to tell you.”

Toad thought and thought. But he could not think of a story to tell Frog.

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope." Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war. A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic. Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope. https://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iuris-canonici/eng/documents/cic_lib3-cann747-755_en.html"

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

easily one of the funniest guys america has had in decades

Cuando eres niño, quieres ser adolescente.
Cuando eres adolescente, quieres ser adulto.
Cuando eres adulto, quieres ser gato.

Frog exclaims to Toad that he is happy. From "Alone" In *Days with Frog and Toad*

“But Toad,” said Frog, “I AM happy. I am very happy. This morning when I woke up, I felt good because the sun was shining. I felt good because I was a frog. And I felt good because I have you for a friend. I wanted to be alone. I wanted to think about how fine everything is.”

The woman being murdered in the video Trump posted was an immigrant. Her name was Nilufar Yasmin. She was from Bangladesh. Trump is weaponizing her death against communities like hers. Outstanding reporting from @pabloreports.bsky.social for Migrant Insider. migrantinsider.com/p/her-name-w...

This is what a rigged system looks like.

was that Melania speech one of Iran’s demands

Frog and Toad gleefully look at Toad's garden, where little green plants are sprouting. From "The Garden" In *Frog and Toad Together*

“Toad, Toad, wake up,” said Frog. “Look at your garden!”

Toad looked at his garden. Little green plants were coming up out of the ground.

Remember: The richest 1% evade roughly $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

President Volodymyr Zelensky has been formally nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. Hide the ketchup.

In three months, Zohran Mamdani has:

-Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by fast food and delivery companies
-Cracked down on bad landlords
-Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program
-Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets

This is what leadership looks like.

Is it too early to call the November elections a disappointing failure for Democrats?

Did Sam do something different with his hair, or...? 🤔

I read this as “one of the funniest gays”

Trump is spending $1 billion a day waging war on Iran. Meanwhile...

Trump's sons are investing in a drone company that could soon receive Pentagon contracts.

And of course Trump's Big Oil donors stand to gain windfall profits as the price of oil skyrockets.

War is a racket.

i’m so excited for peace in the Middle East. we’re only one war away.

You can skip the state of the union and just buy one of these. Literally the same content.

The cool thing about the US is that we have body dysmorphia for all
