The Rob Reiner post is gonna break the record for number of senators who didn’t see it

Spot on. 💯

@Number10cat The most despicable man to ever become President. If the Reps experience a massive defeat in 2026, I think he may go insane, maybe nuclear. He is becoming like a wild animal, cornered, lashing out at everyone and everything. What has become of our country?

When Trump dies and people are nasty about him on this site and others, add this to the list of evidence sent to people who clutch their pearls:

He hit the nail on the head.

Happy birthday, Larry Bird!

I have been given the shiny and very real War Stopper Award by @USAPickleball because I have stopped so many dozens of wars and whatnot. I am honored that my war stopping has been noticed by the foremost pickleball organization in the world.

@kalmantibs Every time we think this man, the President of the United States, could not be more foolish, or more irresponsible, or more vulgar, or more ignorant, or more narcissistic, he proves us wrong.

At no point during the five-year span that Monty Python's Flying Circus aired on the BBC, from October 1969 to December 1974, could the greatest comedic minds of their time come up with a skit more grotesquely absurd than Trump placing a fake peace-prize medal over his own head.

Historian here it’s Hannah Arendt’s death anniversary and she was of course prescient.

The goat of goats

The hardest part of being a liberal is conducting the War on Christmas. This year will be my 83rd tour forcing Christians to say "Happy Holidays" at gunpoint. I'm exhausted.

@JasonBassler1 It will only get worse. They own both parties.

Anyone else find it strange that 7 of the richest men on Earth aren't just billionaires, but also media barons? Musk, Ellison, Bezos, Arnault, Brin, Page, Zuckerberg. They own the feeds, papers, platforms and narratives that shape our reality and no one says a word.🚩

@DustyDeevers Sorry, but citing the Bible as authority might work in a seminary but does not cut it in an academic class. The problem is not the professor, but the student who has no intention of engaging in intellectual inquiry or debate but answers every question with "that what God says".

A transgender professor at OU, a taxpayer-funded university, gave Samantha Fulnecky a 0/25 not for bad writing, but because her biblical view of gender “offended” the professor. At a public university, this raises serious First Amendment concerns and looks a lot like unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination by a state actor. The assignment invited a personal reaction. It did not forbid religious reasoning. Samantha followed the prompt. The professor’s own comments show the grade turned on her beliefs being “offensive,” not on whether her paper met basic academic standards. If a conservative professor gave a Muslim or transgender student a zero for expressing their convictions, the university would treat it as a civil-rights crisis. The standard must be the same when the student is a Christian. Public universities cannot punish protected speech or religious expression simply because a professor dislikes the viewpoint. @UofOklahoma needs to respond like a serious institution: - Review and correct Samantha’s grade based on neutral academic criteria. - Reaffirm that she will not be penalized for sincerely held religious or moral beliefs. - Ensure professors cannot override assignment guidelines to punish dissent. …Or expect accountability. Students do not lose their rights because a professor is offended.

@Number10cat The fake world of garbage that is Twitter.

Next time someone asks what's the matter with this site, show them this: An account in India, amplifying a billionaire from South Africa being encouraged by an Irish passport holder, using an alias, to encourage civil unrest in the UK.

My new scratching post has arrived!

May your Thanksgiving feast be everything you want it to be! (Lon Chaney Jr., John Carradine, Tor Johnson, Bela Lugosi in a gag shot promoting "The Black Sleep," 1956. Not to be confused - under ANY circumstances - with "The Big Sleep.")

@Damaan4u33 It will. A lot of people were happy to see Cheney finally go. But the celebration of Trump's demise will be HUGE.

Prove it!!! ⚰️

What life is like for Americans: 77% can’t afford a median-priced home 70% live paycheck to paycheck 140 million are poor or low-income 100 million have medical debt We’re living through the horrors of capitalism while Republicans AND Democrats in Congress condemn socialism.
