Assuming what Ben says is true (it isn't), why is he so comfortable with a president who does not possess a 2 minute attention span?

C'mon Feel the Noize When everything is played at full-volume all the time, it's hard to hear (or feel) anything.

Shirtless mirror selfie of a middle-aged man with a shaved head and muscular build, holding a black smartphone at chest height. He stands in a bathroom with off-white walls and tiled surfaces, wearing a dark smartwatch on his left wrist. His expression is serious and focused, with soft natural light highlighting his shoulders, arms, and upper torso.

Forgive me for this, but I’ve lost a bit over 85 lbs since December 2024, reduced my blood pressure to normal, and cuz I was a fat kid and made fun of for it, I have *always* struggled to like anything about my appearance. So here’s Grampy in beast mode.

I hope Bovino’s neighbors forever shun him. May the local grocery store cashiers turn their back when he tries to buy food. May his house be forever egged. May the Baby Gap where he shops close their doors when they see him coming.

Well NOW I am. (I played the secondary villain in the Knoxville Opera production; I love that opera so much.)

Not giving in to doomerism today, but certainly heavily into a β€œHow in God’s name did we get to this point?” mood.

Most of the time I think the social internet was a mistake. But on days like today, Christmas, I still think that.

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

I totally have some things I feel like that about, but nothing extreme, and I’m not trying to make a case for it every day, either. (Ex: Normalize NOT assuming bisexuals are closeted something or otherβ€”or incapable of monogamy.)

This has no political affiliation. You can catch people of all stripes doing it. β€œNormalize eating glass!” (Haven’t seen that one, but I’ve seen close.)

It’s Trumpy, too. That’s how he worksβ€”act like insane shit is normal and eventually *just enough* people might accept it to give you a pass.

When did the internet become almost nothing but people trying to justify all their questionable, occasionally demonstrably bad and/or insane choices? Y’all, I’m so tired.

LOL for someone who bristles at insults to my intelligence, this is a rather self-destructive skeet.

So if Yuletide means β€œChristmas and the period around it, with its festivities," does peptide mean "meth and the buying of it, with its festivities?"

Love how winter comes around every year and says "I know you think you broke yourself of the gross, childish habit of nose-picking but no you did not."

Why is ANYONE shocked that Tr*mp said exactly what he thought about Rob Reiner’s murder? People really don’t understand they elected a psychopath.
