I love how baseball mascots are either literal to the team name, dudes with baseball heads, or Pervert Muppets.

So, like every middle schooler in the country? Thoughts and prayers.
Trump is 100% now imagining getting shot at every time he gets in front of a crowd, for the rest of his life.

I've got to give @vierleger.bsky.social the reply of the day for this, possibly of the week.

We here at The Doctor Demento Show would like to express our sincerest apologies for today's program. When we invited Tom Lehrer on the show, it was in hopes of having a frank and honest exchange of ideas about local avian fauna. The last thing we would condone is hate speech, and as such, his comme

This episode aired in 1994 and no other joke about American politics has held up that consistently for so long.

Good morning from the fabulous West End, where we may be on the wrong side of the (metaphorical) tracks but we also are free of Republican VP candidates in our midst.

Having dealt with trash pandas before: they are smart enough to know a dumpster when they see one, so this is absolutely what's happening here.

Athena seems to be running through Her list of ways to get me to clean my apartment. Today's prompt is needing to call maintenance (which means I need to clean the floor to a certain extent).

Today in federal shenanigans: HUD is making us get new signatures and resubmit paperwork because the amount on the form submitted was off by 19¢. Federal bureaucracy at its finest!

you can see your ubereats sandwich approach on the app because humans launched computers into frikken space that have on board clocks driven by measuring special crystals with lasers and adjusting the literal spacetime distortion of those clocks from you using general relativity equations

amazing how much insane sciencey witchcraft goes into making the special lightning brick that folks can use to go on twitter and post "Earth is flat, science is fake, it was better when everyone lived in farming subsistence times"

natural doomer tendencies aside I refuse to give in to inevitably of a second Trump term if only to spite the dipshits in the Dem caucus who are already doing so

If you come across it, and this sounds like a joke but isn’t, try to play Tetris within 30 minutes. Something about it works like EMDR and helps the brain process the traumatic input. There are versions for mobile, switch, computer- just about every platform.
Some pretty graphic images of the corpse of the shooter going around social media. Heads up. I've seen a lot of images of death and brutality over the years from following news on war zones but this still made me wince. It's not a pretty sight. Try to avoid it.

I need blue sky folks who aren’t in the states to post how your media is talking about yesterday. Our information ecosystem is so fucking toxic I need some contrast.

Just a reminder: it’s good to oppose assassinations. But you are under absolutely no obligation to treat Trumpists and Trump-apologists as people who are honest, or acting in good faith, when they purport to condemn political violence or violent rhetoric. They’re not sincere.
