- Ocean temperatures on the Florida coast are as hot as the daytime high in Los Angeles. Ron DeSantis is literally turning Florida into Hell.
- Why decry Jason Aldean and not rap? First, the premise is wrong: we shouldn’t glorify violent criminals. But rappers aren’t claiming their violence is being done in the name of the nation as a patriotic gesture to protect the country when, in fact, it’s just vigilante justice no better than Jim Crow lynchings.
- During the entire Trump Administration, no Democrat entered a poster of Ivanka’s multiple lingerie magazine shoots or the more explicit pics of her step-mom into evidence for the sole purpose of embarrassing her. But then, Democrats are mature adults.
- How bad have you fucked up if you’d rather spend the rest of your life in North Korea than a few months in the stockade?
- When Republicans whine about how Democrats have weaponized government to attack their enemies, remind them that Alexander Vindman’s twin brother was fired from his White House position solely because he was Alexander Vindman’s brother.
- RFK Jr. is the Rand Paul of Bernie Sanders.
- The Trump trial schedule makes it very likely that the Republican National Convention will devolve into a group of politically powerful white men, both elected and otherwise, deciding who they want to run. If Trump has a conviction in July 2024, they may choose to void or split his delegates. It is quite possible the GOP could see a fatal fissure in July 2024 if the Trumpians don’t get their way.
- If George Santos had simply admitted to lying and resigned from Congress when the scandals arose, by now he would’ve been able to capitalize on his infamy by writing a book and becoming a talk show gadfly, maybe even a panelist on RuPaul’s Drag Race or Hollywood Squares. Instead, by staying in the seat he got by lying, he’s killing the nation.
- Republicans having a hissy fit over their perceived demasculinization of a character based on a doll that never had genitals in the first place is the ultimate example of meaningless rage.
- Tony Bennett wasn’t just a crooner. He was a veteran who helped liberate Nazi concentration camps. He marched with Dr. King. He was a recovered addict. He recovered from bankruptcy to find renewed popularity in his 80s. He didn’t have just crossover appeal–he was largely faithful to his style throughout his career though his duo partners ran the spectrum–he had generational appeal.
- HBO abandoning the brand that literally defined the subscription network market and shifting to Max is going to end up being as bad as New Coke.
- Yes, conservative sockpuppet, California does have the most people moving out of it… because it’s got the most people living in it. Of the 40 million in California, 1.7% (680,000) moved out. But 2.1% of Florida have moved out of Florida over the same time. So who’s got the real problem?
- A normal human would be ashamed at the series of humiliatingly embarrassing nothingness that has been produced at his overhyped hearings broadcast on national television. But Jim Jordan’s not a human.
- Crabcakes are the original fishburger. And if fried, tartar sauce. If broiled, cocktail.
- Trump’s legal problems are so vast, I had forgotten about the Cohen lawsuit. And I can’t find the status of the class action suit against him regarding his endorsement of the ACN pyramid scheme.
- Peanut butter is a very forgiving partner. Virtually any jelly–probably not jalapeno and definitely not petroleum–is a good match for a sandwich, or marshmallow Fluff if you’re feeling decadent. It can be a dip for celery or apple, or a spread for a cracker. Pair with chocolate and you have a legendary candy bar. And if desperate, you can DeSantis it, but don’t put the jar back on the shelf.
- The debut of Messi in Miami and the start of the Women’s World Cup suggest that spectator interest in soccer could peak this summer. But will it finally be the foothold it needs to leap professional soccer into the pantheon of major sports, or will it be the 2,517th failed attempt?
