He should start referring to his presumptive opponent as “that feckin’ eejit.”

The increasingly brazen endorsement of political violence by the GOP is a tremendously dangerous development that warrants high-profile media coverage.

Yesterday’s decision would be bad under any circumstances, but given that it was a decision that specifically favors Tr*mp—mentally ill, no sense of morality, and an aspiring autocrat—it’s awful.

every time I see someone complain about unions I think about how unions were the consensus alternative to the previous system of burning the factory owner alive inside his house

Trump is a rapist, convicted thief, liar, and literal fucking traitor who colluded with Russia and tried to overthrow the government. Let’s maybe focus on that!

The dead giveaway for me and anyone else in NJ is “what do you call the night before Halloween?” I did not know until I was an adult that NJ (and some areas close to it) is literally the only place in the country that refers to the night of October 30th as mischief night.

Saw another Cybertruck on the road yesterday and cackled at it, so I think we have established that I’m going to laugh every time I see one.

I just learned that mathematicians David Cox and Stephen Zucker decided to write a paper together specifically to create an algorithm they could name the Cox-Zucker machine and this might be the best joke in the history of academia.

I’m old enough to remember a time before MTV, when music videos were not really a thing and TV was just a vast wasteland of musicless drivel. I’m so old that I had already stopped watching MTV by the time MTV2 became a necessity. 😆

True, but I’ve seen pics of these nuns or a similar group circulating around Catholic social media, and they’re Trump supporters who are not a recognized Catholic order. From 3 years ago:

If this is the group I think it is, they’re not officially recognized by the Vatican, their local bishop, or any other Catholic authority. They’re just rogue nuns.

The campaign of convicted felon Donald Trump understands it’s shameful that convicted felon Donald Trump is a convicted felon so they’ll try to cow reporters into *not* calling convicted felon Donald Trump a convicted felon, but convicted felon Donald Trump is, factually, a convicted felon.

In his monologue last night, Stephen Colbert referred to him as “convicted felon Donald Tr*mp” several times. I hope he continues to do that.

Libraries are one of the most radical social institutions we have, because they’re based on the idea that *everyone* has the right to information, for free. It’s also what makes them crucial to democracy. I will never stop yelling about this!

Before his image was reengineered by The Apprentice, Trump was widely viewed as the sleaziest real estate developer in NYC. And that’s saying something.

Can’t decide if I’m more amused or irritated that Convicted Felon Tr*mp’s losing 0-fer-34 record keeps getting compared to the New York Mets. (The Mets’ current record is 24-33, a better record than Loser McLoserface.)

“If they can convict a president for breaking the law, they can convict anybody!” Right, that’s the whole point. Our laws actually apply to everyone. Congrats on just now figuring out how that works.
