@sherwudforest He's a nerd. You can't roast a nerd without looking like a bully.

how would you even roast Paul McCartney like oh man you smoke a ton of weed and you’re super talented and everybody loves you

@Eirerogue00 @TheEXECUTlONER_ It's not a line!

@TheEXECUTlONER_ Get in line. My time is the same as yours. Not waiting in the flow? Your not getting in front of me.

This guy is using the left hand lane , which is open. There is a mile long backup and everyone is over in the right hand lane. He drives all the way up until he has to merge. Some people are saying what a jerk he is for not getting in line like everyone else, but a great many people are saying that the cars in the right lane merged into one lane too soon and that if they had used the left lane, instead of being a mile backup it would have been a half a mile backup. What’s your take? Do you think he was correct in using the left lane and merging up at the front or should he have merged right and got in line way in the back like everyone else?

@Coffeewhore2 A bolt of lightning came through a basement window in my house, bounced off the floor and shot down the hallway. It barely made a noise. My brother saw it too.

I was working at a hotel and was the manager on duty that day. I had several interactions with a guest that continued to throw red flags 🚩 up. After several hours I contacted one of the fbi agents staying at the hotel, whom I had gotten to know, as he and his family were relocating

@BenBestSterling @TheStingisBack "Gonna need some more FBI guys..."

@TheStingisBack He does kind of get more sympathetic as the movie goes on, especially when the FBI show their true colours.

When we talk about Die Hard, we rarely mention the electric dynamic between Paul Gleason (born OTD) and Reginald VelJohnson. It’s classic competence vs bureaucracy, which makes the Powell/McClane bond even stronger. Gleason was the perfect foil in Die Hard, a top-tier movie jerk

@apeman1000000bc @paradisekillher The wrapper was still on. You're fine.

@paradisekillher my jester keeps pretend stabbing me with string cheese and saying "all in jest, sire, all in jest!" but sometimes it feels like it's more than jest

a student was talking today about the common trope of a jester betraying royalty and the language arts teacher and i looked at each other like that’s not… that common

@kneerecon @nrps78 If the boot fits haha!

@nrps78 If the shoe fits …

1 Although we are all indebted to anyone who served, Hegseth’s Bronze Stars were ‘earned’ “ as an infantry officer and civil affairs officer, rather than for direct combat engagement” - direct Google quote. So when you hear about Pete’s medals, understand he’s not Audie Murphy

Death Valley National Park is experiencing its first major superbloom in a decade as of March/April 2026, driven by record winter rainfall (1.7 – 2.5+ inches) that transformed the desert landscape with vibrant carpets of yellow, pink, and purple flowers. x.com/MarchUnofficia…

@stoolpresidente You're funny. He owns the condo. He can sell it but that person will then pay the tax. Why are you bothered by this?

I’m not the biggest Ken Griffin fan from the GameStop saga days. But I’d love for him to give Zohran a big fuck you and pull his construction plans and pull the hundreds of millions he pays in taxes and charity. NYC officials are hilarious. All they do is say they hate rich peole and then beg them to stay and pay for all their useless shit. There was zero reason for Zohran to antagonize Griffin except to appease his yellow and purple haired communist base. He could have still initiated the tax without trying to be Mr Cool Guy Communist and rubbing people’s faces in it. Why would any rich person stay there? NYC wanted a communist mayor. They got a communist mayor.

@LisaForCongress Mole!

Virginia tonight proved one thing: When Democrats can’t win fairly, they change the rules. That’s not democracy. That’s a power grab. Shameful.

@The_Crack_Emcee @brianeskow Well, he's a con, but no artist.

@brianeskow "he's a different kind of guy." He's been holding a singular title since 1982, mark.

Trump easily could've run as a moderate democrat. That's the kind of candidate I like. Strong. Passionate. Has common sense. With that said - he's a different kind of guy. I happen to like it.

@Geiger_Capital I love it! More! More!

This is insane… The Virginia redistricting amendment on the ballot today is framed as a vote to "restore fairness in the upcoming elections." In reality, it turns a state that Kamala barely won by 5 pts from 6D-5R to 10D-1R.

@IngrahamAngle I've been waiting for stuff like this since the Senate under McConnell wouldn't confirm Obama's pick. Trump, Hegseth, Patel, Kennedy are fucking up so bad that even Gerrymandered Rep districts will fall too.

You’re a total fraud.

@mitchellvii It's about preventative care...

Let's talk about dental insurance for a minute. Medicare doesn't cover dental, which is completely insane. I can go in for a medical procedure tomorrow that costs $120,000, and they'll cover it, but they don't cover a tooth extraction? That aside, I looked into private insurance for dental. They wanted $33 a month, with a $35 down payment, and then a $150 deductible for $1,000 in coverage a year. So that means they want me to pay them $500 a year for $1,000 in coverage. I mean, that's completely insane. You can't get any serious dental work done for $1,000! Why would anyone in their right mind do that?

@Plingus4 @sunnyright Yep. Imagine when Gerrymandered Republican districts go red because the Dems show some backbone.

@sunnyright A counter punch isn't morally equivalent to a sucker punch. The best way to ban gerrymandering nationally is to make republicans fear it. Glad Dems are finally fighting back.

Democracy is when 51% vote to strip away political representation from the 49%, keeping the latter in a perpetual state of servitude to the former with no power to change it. Which is why the distinction between democracy and republic is not merely pedantic.

@ScottJenningsKY Used to be a Bush whacker! Now all in on Trump II. Lies about WMDs. Lies about economy and Israel.

Year of our Lord 2026: Democrat US Senator openly rooting for Iran to defeat the US in battle. Every Dem on the Hill ought to be hounded today by every reporter to answer for this lunatic.

@DKruegerAuthor @AdamKinzinger @ScottJenningsKY @Jbroks86 Trump is the top Oligarch. MAGA doesn't care.

@AdamKinzinger @ScottJenningsKY @Jbroks86 What is so funny is every maga saying but it isnt but when trump says i will commit genocide multiple times is sarcasm to them and they cheer. Honestly this country is so screwed we are giggling each other instead of the real enemy the wealthy and oligarchs.

@MatthewTalmage @cboyack A novel??

Homework is the tax parents pay to keep pretending school is working.

@SombraMapache @KristaJoyPalmer @cboyack Yes. Homework is part of the process by which children accept authority figures who aren't their parents.

@KristaJoyPalmer @cboyack Assuming that this isn't completely made up, I can guarantee you that every teacher you handed that shit to crumpled it up, threw it in the trash, still took points off your kids' grades for not turning homework in and laughed about your audacity with every other teacher.

@KeruboSk My grandfather.

Just out of curiosity… who out there has actually talked to someone born in the 1800s during their lifetime?

@BillAckman Taxing is not "attacking."

Non-residents who spend millions of dollars on NYC apartments help drive NYC’s economy. Most of the profit in condominium development is in the penthouses. The Ken Griffins of the world make NYC high end development viable, driving high-paying construction, brokerage, legal, marketing, and other jobs in NYC. We should be applauding Ken for spending $238 million in NYC, not attacking him for doing so. Importantly, non-resident owners of NYC apartments who leave their apartments vacant for much of the year are not a burden to NYC schools, services, or other resources while they drive growth in retail sales, restaurants, theater, and other important drivers of our economy. They also often support NYC non-profits with donations. Ken’s company is a major employer in NYC of very high paying jobs which drive a considerable amount of our tax base. We wouldn’t want him to move even more employees to Miami. These non-resident owners also already pay a lot of taxes including mansion taxes, real estate taxes, sales taxes and more. While @NYCMayor Mamdani likes the tag line ‘Tax the rich.’ Unfortunately, his policies will harm the constituencies he is supposedly trying to help. I can’t imagine the NYC construction unions are excited about his plan.
