The NYTimes pushed this garbage because it’s actively trying to get Biden to step down. I would not mind if Biden stepped down; but I’m enraged the supposed crown jewel of journalism is engaged in such W.R. Hearst-style shenanigans.

I noticed lots of kid-free resorts in Caribbean. I’m a parent and I totally get it—it’s not about sex sex sex. It’s about a calm, relaxing atmosphere.

Once you realize most people in "DC" - the more public ones anyway - are not operating in good faith it is simpler

I’m not even in whatever feed/list you’re talking about. However, it’s a really amusing article, if you need a breath of air from the political doomscrolling. Lord knows I do.

Also, I hate my father-in-law’s Kia Sportage that I can’t really fit in the driver’s seat comfortably.

I am also a tall white man, but I will never touch one of these because I love small cars. My wife is dumbfounded that I really enjoy the stick shift Fiat we end up with on vacation in Italy.

I’m fine with Biden staying in the race or leaving. But this reeks of a concerted effort to FORCE a narrative… or worse, try to force Biden out. That’s not journalism, that’s activism.

I dunno—depends on how much Jameson they’ve had. Argh, now I’m indulging in stereotypes! And I’m Scotch-Irish—we drink that Protestant whiskey… because of Martin Luther or something.

I should cut ties too, but I’m a glutton for punishment. But yeah, the Dems have done a surprisingly good job turning Project 2025 into a bogeyman. Although it’s actually a terrible, terrible plan, not some figment of paranoid imaginations.

Um, the nonstop rallying, ads, media appearances, etc. where Dems have been hammering on Project 2025 to contrast Biden’s agenda. Dems of all stripes have been screaming about Project 2025 to anyone who will listen. Been constant on my TL in the other place.

The fact Trump is distancing himself from Project 2025 shows that attack is working. Time to double down.

Recently a friend came from Pittsburgh to NYC with his wife, and he said the food highlight of the trip was chicken over rice from a random cart at 2 am. Brought a tear to my eye.

My father is constantly dragging me to Michelin star places in NYC where I eat and think, “I could have found something tastier and more innovative for a quarter of the price in Brooklyn.”

No way. His pride is beyond wounded. He set up the Republican Party to get everything they wanted and now he’s a pariah to the people he empowered. It stings. And I dine on schadenfreude.

Trump makes journalists jobs more lively. He’s good for clicks. These people don’t want to cover politics; they want to be entertainment journalists.

Eh, why not? They should. “The presidency is about the people the president surrounds himself with. Trump surrounds himself with Nazis.”

Just had my Twitter account frozen because this is how I replied to NYTimes news the “Democratic political operatives” are trying to recruit Jamie Dimon for President.

Cat Kid Comic Club is a brilliant introduction to creativity for kids. Unbelievably inspiring. All of Pilkey’s work is incredible. I wish I had read such stuff as a kid.
