👋 Hey new followers, here’s what you need to know about the stuff that I tend to post. A short thread… 🧵

As a kid, I always knew it as Silver Creek Falls. Then I went back as an adult, and didn’t understand what happened to the word “Creek” in the name. I’ve had to correct myself ever since.

Trump is the reverse Midas. Everything he touches turns to shit.

I didn’t notice that before, but it makes sense. MAGA dumbasses have a reputation for violently storming government buildings. Can’t let the unwashed have direct access to the real thing.

The only meaningful statistic about the Oregon Ducks holds true again tonight. #FTD

This is the most interesting statistic to come out of this year’s tournament.

This is a next-level idiotic take, and I’m saying this as someone whose team just got eliminated by their bitterest rival. The NCAA playoffs consist of FOUR mini double-elimination tournaments. You can lose up to 4 postseason games and still be the champs. There are no excuses.

That Indy 500 finish was unbelievable!

Why did it never occur to me that they paint the rink white? 🤦‍♂️

It’s such obvious engagement bait, but yeah, over here, that’s me. 🙋‍♂️ I didn’t even support him when he was just a celebrity. He has always seemed fake, like a conman looking for his next mark. I watched one season of The Apprentice thinking it might change my mind, but nope.

This is one of those times when I wish my posts had more visibility. This is a brilliant idea by @robert_zubrin that deserves to get traction. I posted it yesterday, and it has… 9 views, most of which are probably by me.

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it. Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago. IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued. The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk. The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit. Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.”  Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million. The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out. This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president. Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues? nytimes.com/2026/05/19/admin…

They loved Marjorie Taylor Greene, now they hate her. They loved Thomas Massie, now they hate him. They loved Lauren Boebert, now they hate her. They made fun of Biden for nodding off ("Sleepy Joe), now they ignore Trump outright falling asleep. They put "I Did That" Biden stickers on high gas prices, now they ignore gas prices being even higher. They bragged about Trump being the no wars President, now they support war. They bashed Biden for sending money to Ukraine, now they ignore Trump sending money to both Ukraine and Israel. They demanded the Epstein files, now they bash anyone asking for the Epstein files. To be a MAGA is to be a slave. Not physically, but mentally. They stand for nothing. We're up against people who stand for nothing. And with the most misplaced confidence you've ever seen, they try to tell us whats-what. We shouldn't even acknowledge these people. The Trump supporters that remain are mentally too far gone. I don't even want to argue with them anymore.

I still think about this French girl trying to say “burger” almost every day 😭😭

That’s a buttload.

I used to be a “stop overreacting” guy, both because I’m not a fan of fear-mongering, and because I believed that there were enough sane, reasonable conservatives to overrule the batshit crazy ones. I never anticipated that Trump would actively incentivize being batshit crazy.
