I am officially off work until Monday week (that’s the 20th, for those who’ve not heard that expression before). DW & I will be spending part of that time in Jupiter and Palm Beach, relaxing on the beach, playing golf, and eating well.

Sometimes it means the person it’s biting is an asshole, and shouldn’t keep a cat as a pet. Or both.

@JasonTh64559882 @RBPundit Disgusting that TDS makes Americans root for Iran.

@RBPundit The people with raging TDS always see things as Trump bad. The thugocracy has a choice either capitulate or they will be bombed. Trump is not humiliated or escalating, there is a pause to see if the thugocracy understands reality.

Iran can't give anyone an off-ramp, actually. Only the people winning can do that. Hope this helps.

CZ IF YOUR CAT BITES YOU, HERE'S WHAT THAT MEANS: It means cats are assholes and shouldn't be kept as pets.

@will_christou Bummer huh.

It took Israel only 10 minutes to carry out one of the worst mass-killings in Lebanon since the end of the country’s civil war in 1990. Lebanese are still searching for loved ones under rubble and in hospital morgues. Hospitals are overwhelmed with patients, many of them children. “I thought they bombed a school at first,” the head of a hospital in Beirut said. theguardian.com/world/2026/apr…?

#OTD 1815 – The Mount Tambora volcano begins a three-month-long eruption, lasting until July 15. The eruption ultimately kills 71,000 people and affects Earth’s climate for the next two years.

Antifa isn't technically right, but it's predominately republican based. The idea of a machine that selects people that don't categorize themselves as antifa, that commit the same terrorism that every other is involved with, is severe propoganda. A machine physically cannot aim at every antifa aryan kk member, nor does it have the ability to thwart terrorism as a defensive.

The Trump administration is aiming its counterterrorism machine at far-left groups like antifa, pushing allies to recognize their “political terrorism,” despite offering little evidence that the groups present a dire threat to U.S. citizens. nyti.ms/3Qdgt6F

rightwingers: we need to protect Western culture! profs: ok let us then have mandatory philosophy, literature, & art courses from junior high through college, together with mandatory fluency on 3 Western languages instruction by the time you graduate rightwingers: not like that

Walking from parking garage to Capricorn Music we only saw one guy pissing in the bushes.

Virginia Legionnaire James Pinsky is staging a #BeTheOne walk to reduce veteran suicide. It's goal is to replace isolation with conversation, empower veterans to be heard & activate the community to show up with purpose, because sometimes the most important step in saving a life is simply connecting with one.

Against the Mad King. Trump's governance style doesn't work. It's so bad one yearns to cry out: Bring back Hillary, bring back the Obama wonks, give us a thousand think-tank white papers. My big UnHerd essay on the end of the war. unherd.com/2026/04/agains…

#OTD 1682 – Robert Cavalier de La Salle discovers the mouth of the Mississippi River, claims it for France and names it Louisiana, after the king of France. If you’re going to kiss ass, leave a hickey.
