I don't like how much cultural influence we've granted to the state of Utah lately.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Macbeth: SHIT

My ideal version of America is what I saw Bad Bunny encapsulate: multicultural, multigenerational, queer, empathetic, and full of raucous love.

Rita Moreno was one of the best hosts of the original run, so I’d love to see her host again

Stevie was 26 when he finished Songs in the Key of Life, and it was his eighteenth studio record

okay but democratic voters want to abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who works for it, so

Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50

Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

CHOTINER: You were an early riser today.

PHIL: The 2nd is a big day; it's important I get it right.

CHOTINER: Six more weeks of winter—is that exact, or...?

It is the best relationship between any two people in the series.

The insult of having her, among everyone cast in ‘Home Alone 2, taken from us today … just unconscionable.

Graham objected to unanimous consent.

And he blocked the business of the Senate.

Any Senate Democrat could do this.

daendeleon 2d @ Threads Greg Bovino was asked how he felt about his demotion today. "Well, obviously, I'm not happy", he replied. Someone in the crowd shouted back, "So which one are you?"
