Last night I had dinner with a friend. We had a polite argument waiting for our entrées: “If called to jury duty for Trump’s case, would you lie to get seated, claiming you were neutral?” I said no, I would tell the truth. He called me a pansy. The question is, am I a pansy?

Do any of you get this? I'm sure if one of you do and tell me I'll feel like an idiot (from The New Yorker):

I have a lot on my plate this week so when I woke this morning, I told myself I would not open Twitter until 5:00 pm. Correction: I meant to say 8:00 am. Is the trial over?

Important that this not get lost in the noise. During Trump's term, Iran attacked Americans, and he did NOTHING:

It would be a shame if this was reposted all over Twitter and Truth Social... The thing is, we want the people who need support to get that support. There's no shame there. So why does the right demean what so many of its supporters clearly need?

Can anyone explain why they tend to always look this way? Can't they get their message across while wearing nice Ralph Lauren polos and khakis? And the beards... Esquire said recently we were passed beards now. I shaved immediately.

At what age did you become a “serious” person? I was a dumb doofus until my 1st year of college, when a literature course knocked me out of my saddle. I became an adult. It was The Gatsby that did it. I ask because my 19yo grandson is sitting on my sofa watching a Godzilla movie.

This made me ha ha.

This is the saddest thing I've seen (in the last hour). So many layers here:

Do many of you engage with your 'in real life' friends on Twitter? No one in my social orbit has an active account (about half of them have FB and IG accounts. I don't). As some of you become more familiar to me, it's like having a 2rd orbit of friends in 'my digital life'.

Trump is a Messiah to all the dreck in our society who tells them it's okay to be horrible. One need look no further for an explanation.

Does anyone else wish MSNBC would stop the banter between hosts when they end and start their shows? Makes me uncomfortable.

He claims he was struck by lightning while filming the sermon on the mount scene in the movie The Passion of Christ. Now, there's some bad luck! I suspect he's misinterpreting the event. If it was a sign from God, it was to tell him he's a crap actor.

This is a true gem from back when SNL was top of their game:

Me as well.

Absolutely worth a repost:

Yesterday I mentioned I had two fallen relatives (went MAGA). One was a first cousin. Let's call her 'Megan', which is her real name. I do not wish to marry her, so I have no reason to move to Tennessee.

Donald Trump always has the best words:

I'm not sure how I feel about this:

Quick Question: How many of you use ambient noise when you sleep? My current pick is 'Airplane Sounds' on Alexa. I want to try something new.
