This made me laugh so much I had to use my rescue inhaler— the RNC is currently taking place in Milwaukee and this isn’t the first time I’ve seen the RNC crash The Apps. 🤣🤣🤣

lol remember when Black Rifle Coffee was reduced to panicked gibbering when their TaCTiCaL CaWfEe branding was worn by a Jan 6th insurrectionist? They lie down with dogs, and are perpetually shocked when they get up with fleas.

2024 is continuing its BONKERS out-of-pocket-ness… (from a local news and politics FB group I belong to)

I MEAN… let’s face facts here, people.

Scrotum care *is* skin care, losers.

Once again, Last Week Tonight has it on point. This is terrifying, but illustrative. “While Trump’s first term was characterized by chaos, his second could be defined by ruthless efficiency.” And it will be.

Still going to default to sharing this John Oliver video:

Trump’s Second Term: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)youtu.be John Oliver discusses Donald Trump’s plans for a second term, why it could be much worse than his first term, and what Trump has in common with a hamster. Co...

And getting hit.

J.D. Vance, if I have learned one thing from researching him, wants women out of the workforce, at home, making babies, and serving their husbands.

Oh cool! I loved DCist— especially in the Before Times when I was traveling there fairly often— so I’m glad they’re not giving up on this work. It’s very necessary!

"A group of D.C journalists who worked at a local news site that was abruptly shuttered by NPR affiliate WAMU earlier this year are launching their own nonprofit devoted to covering community news of Washington...It will be operated as a worker-run newsroom" www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/...

Former DCist staff launch the 51st, new local news site for Washingtonwww.washingtonpost.com The 51st is a worker-run newsroom that will attempt to fill a niche its founders say opened when WAMU closed DCist.

There’s a BIG DIFFERENCE, and I know which one I’m in favor of. God didn’t just make the United States— and He CERTAINLY didn’t write our Constitution, and Christ didn’t come just for us.

1. Peter Theil is a *real* evil character. Think Elon-level power, but cunning, strategic, much smarter than Elon (not hard) to say things out loud, and lurking in the shadows to pull strings at the highest level. Anyone he backs is going to be really bad. 2. Teen Vogue rock. 3. Read this. 👇

Vance is a Theil-backed bag of shit in a man suit. But Teen Vogue went ahead and did an explainer on all the reasons why. (And is it just me or does he look like a colorized Bela Lugosi character here?)

Every Gen Z Issue JD Vance Is Againstwww.teenvogue.com From guns, and climate change to abortion and LGBTQ rights, the Republican VP is being called “Anti-Gen Z.”

The divorce thing is so extreme—do you realize in the 1950s, the Ladies Guild of my former parish was meeting to discuss how to loosen divorce laws in NYS? Episcopal housewives! Not exactly your bastion of leftist politics!

I know we know about JD Vance, but he's also working to make divorces harder to obtain, and says that people in "violent" marriages should stay married and not get divorced. So.

Press: Oh, so much new tone from Donald Trump. Trump: We must unite the nation around my ability to lawlessly commit coups and crimes while jailing Democrats.

This is not an incorrect assessment…
