At some point we have to talk about how Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for far less than what Donald Trump did and is still actively doing.

President Zelenskyy has become one of the world’s greatest heroes. That’s eating Putin and Trump alive.

Ilhan Omar spent four years in a refugee camp and ended up becoming a Congresswoman. She represents the best of America, while Donald Trump represents the worst.

The fact that the President of the United States suggests Iran should nuke Los Angeles and San Diego and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

“There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity.” — Pope Leo

(This non-religious artist is nodding enthusiastically!)

“I used to think everyone opposed war. Then I realized some people actually want it — especially those who don’t have to go.”

Erich Maria Remarque (1898–1970), German novelist

Imagine needing validation so badly that you threaten to tear down another President’s memorial unless they put your name on it.

The level of fragile ego it takes to pull a stunt like this is genuinely unhinged.

I find it absurd that the em dash is now widely perceived as an indicator of AI use. I have used it since childhood; it is part of my writing style. Sometimes inserting a brief aside within a sentence, at other times emphasizing the conclusion of a thought.

In any case, I use em dashs deliberately, and I am absolutely certain that many other writers do the same.

Fake news only find fertile ground where natural stupidity already serves as fertilizer.

President Obama killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

Donald Trump invited the Taliban to hang out at Camp David on 9/11, freed 5,000 of their elite fighters from prison, and tried to kill Mike Pence.

We should never forget that.

On the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the greatest threat to the safety and security of Americans is the President of the United States, together with his entire cabinet.

Job applicants are using AI to write resumes and prep interview answers.

Companies are using AI to screen those applications and conduct initial interviews.

We’ve officially automated both sides of a process meant to measure human connection.

The irony is genuinely unreal.

If Democrats win the House, Trump must be impeached, and tried for treason — along with his entire cabinet.

We are at the movie scene where the scientist issues a warning, but no one pays him any heed.

On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

“An army of gray-haired women may quietly take over the Earth.”

Gloria Steinem spent nearly a century teaching us how to be our truest, fiercest selves.

Thank you for leading the way, for listening, and for never backing down. Rest easy, Gloria. We’ve got it from here.

“So, what do you do for a living?”

“I paint confetti.
I’m in the Yellow Department.”

Me when I don’t have the social battery for small talk.

Growing up with the phrase “Wikipedia isn’t a valid source,” only to end up in a daily life where everyone says, “Just ask ChatGPT.”

If you still support Trump and his administration, we don’t have political differences — we have moral ones.

Because racism, hatred, and incitement are not opinions.

They are a character test.
And you are failing it.

Dolly Parton. 💔 This cuts really deep.
