Except for this guy, who appears to be auditioning for the role of The Joker once Joaquin Phoenix retires from it

Same way any American sees it. Great love for the Israeli people, head scratching about the current PM and cabinet. And exactly why are you asking me about *Israel* and not any other U.S. ally? Does it rhyme with “grant my phlegm a prism?”

This photo makes me so sad for our country Podcasters aren’t policymakers. They probably shouldn’t be in the Oval Office. Admittedly, this is better than Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, or Laura Loomer. That isn’t saying much. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/03/s...

Pete Hegseth: Princeton in the Nation’s Sloppiness

Please put the grownups back in charge at NIH. Yes these blue state institutions also have endowments. Does the University of Alabama?

The fascinating strategy of egg pricing at a Trader Joe’s in the SF Bay Area These prices appear to be way below market, like almost half. I’ve heard that their margins come from treats and alcohol, but unless they bought a derivative they’re taking a bath on eggs to get folks in the door

Missed amid the clutter? We should admire Screech? Ick
