Trump is going to try a new plan for Iran because giving him the ability for a do over seems totally sensible. We have gotten into a meaningless war which is killing inflation and the economy not to mention the impact on thousands of Iranians. This is the world we live in now, the guy who crashes the car gets another car on our dime.

Trump may try to convince his base that we are winning in Iran but anybody who has filled up in the last month, sure doesn't seem to feel that way. It's costing me $55-$60 every time I fill up. The buses are full, the commuter trains are packed and my wallet is empty but if you complain you will be tagged as being anti American by the Trump crazies.

There's no bigger dying star than Meta. They have apparently lost 20 million users and I have to think that's not enough. If they counted the bots they'd be down by 500million I was one of the first to drop out of Facebook seeing it for the cesspool it was and I'm off Instagram now also seeing how mind numbingly addictive that is. Never has a human made more on people's misery than Zuckerberg and seeing his demise will be music to my ears.

There are some features that Apple does really well. None is better than when you get one of those codes and it lets you paste them directly into the app but this new feature when it recognizes that you are on some endless hold thing and says it will notify you when it's time to pick up. I don't know what happens when the person does pickup and I'm too sacred to try it as I'm obviously desperate enough to stay on hold for thirty minutes but I do like the idea of the tires being turned and the guy at the car dealer service center now being forced to listen to my hold music. (Which would be Master of Puppets at volume 11).

I always assumed that if there was a purgatory if would look a lot like the Port Authority. Gigantic lines of people hoping to get home that night but knowing there is a mostly equal chance you are going to be sleeping there for eternity with a bunch of crack heads and dudes that smell like days old dried urine. I'm told we should get a new bus terminal sometime in the next twenty years which will be right about when I'm ready to never use public transport for work again

Old lady Lindsey is at it again. Getting on his knees to pray to the latest alpha male in his life. He used to be obsessed with McCain then he fell for Trump and when he fell, he fell hard. And now, like a decade later he's urging congress to pay for this idiotic ballroom because he's sure daddy will be happy

It happened overnight, or at least that's what I need to tell myself but I went from being fairly spry and nimble to feeling like I'm Frankenstein when I get up. It's like my entire body has some weird atrophy where nothing moves or bends like it should. I'll sure yoga for Pilates or whatever would help but this feels like it ran me over like a truck.

I'm not sure why kids in this generation always seem to have close captioning off but sometimes I plop on the couch and don't bother to turn it off. Now I'm watching White Lotus or something and it becomes a chore cause I can't NOT read it. But that is the most ludicrous is when they transpose the "sigh" or the "exhales deeply". Those audible clues are totally able to be heard while you are reading the lame dialogue. Just let me find the stupid button to turn this off Sent from my iPhone
When your master negotiators are Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, you are starting with two outs with bases empty with two strikes against you. It's been two years and these two knuckleheads are like David Spade and Farley in Tommy Boy. I can't trust them to convince me to buy an air filter let alone settle major conflicts or bring peace. If this is the best we got, we're in trouble.

As a Jet fan, I'm obviously no fan of the Patriots and typically like to see them suffer which has not been a very regular occurrence. With that said, this Mike Vrabel thing is just not that interesting. This is the NFL where we take drunks, drug addicts, murders and other convicted felons and then ask them to beat each other silly. There is no league which has less of a moral leg to stand on than the NFL and adultery is about as tame as it gets in these circles. Fry the dude if you want but then don't root for the rest of the thugs wearing helmets on any given Sunday in September.

You know there are too many beers out there when they are all trying to one up one another with their latest offering and nothing is worse than artisanal microbrew IPA's. It seems like there are a small handful of adjectives -hazy, fruity, hoppy, cloudy- thy all throw in and the order of them is the only thing that changes. The latest thing is to just call the beers they have the most disgusting thing they can think of including the latest offering by Cap May Brewery called Mop Water.

There is literally nothing dumber than a radio sports talk host with a hot take. I've listened to more WFAN than I've spent with my own kids but even I will tell you that these guys are about as brain dead as it comes. The latest hot take is that Mamdani ruined the Mets season for hugging Mr Met and it has had the desired effect of getting the entire city in knots trying to either defend it or argue against it. And that is why we are the dumbest country on planet earth

MAGA is apparently starting to question the Butler shooting which is something we have all been questioning for two years. We know this was staged much like the moon landing and the fact anybody bought into any of it, shows the herd of sheep you all are. At this point we should all accept that we are living in a giant Trump branded TV show and any hope for normalcy died with old man Biden.

You have got to be kidding me. I'm driving home tonight and am met with a bunch of winter storm watch signs. I've had enough of this winter, we had 70 degree weather this week and now I'm back to looking for my winter coat?? This is a cruel April joke.

A week ago, the controversy of the day was the TruthSocial post of Trump in his Jesus pose. It's obviously blasphemous but as expected the religious right proved again to have no actually standing in their righteousness. But looking back on the CNN post, I noticed the "apparently AI generated image" tag on the post. The article -and common sense- obviously isn't enough that we have to be told this isn't actually a real image I get the fine print in legal paperwork or even waivers at a bounce house but how litigious have we become that something this obviously fake has legal requiring this. What's next, are we going to put a "not an actual mouse" whenever we watch a Disney movie??

I walked into the 72nd street Gray Papayas to relive some of the best meals of my youth. There was still a line of people, they were still working on 100 Sabrett's dogs at a time and they sell a bunch of odd island juice, so all intents and purposes, I was back in 1994. It was all very familiar except for the price. Long gone was the recession special, now replaced with the mega deal which was three dogs and a papaya juice for like $13.50. The taste was as amazing as I remembered, the papaya juice is basically just sugar and the hit to my wallet was typical NYC. Come on Mamdani, do something about this pricing travesty.

Only Trump would be able to get away with saying gas prices aren't very high after it cost me $55 to fill up. We know that telling the truth is not one of his strong points but at this point, we may have to wonder when his MAGA base will see him for the out of touch geriatric he is.

There is no bigger financial manipulation than what happens to the stock market after every disruption. I'm so sick of looking at the market make its wild swings on the back of the word of a guy who is barely lucid. He speaks out of both sides of his mouth and we hang on his every word like there is a kernel of truth to any of it.

There is nothing worse than sitting on a bus for over an hour and having some douchbag legs as open as a Dunkin' talking so loudly he's practically screaming on the phone about the big hedge he has against the price of corn or something. I look at this dude and think not only are you wearing those kinds of sneakers which are supposed to look like shoes but you are riding the NJT bus, nobody here thinks you are some high roller.

Some days he's a warrior, other days a fighter pilot and yet other days he's a solider but nobody seems to shrug when he posts those images online but I will say that the religious right is completely spineless if they let Trump get away with posting AI photos of him as Jesus. I don't care about religion and mostly find it all a complete sham but if this is what you devote yourself to, you can't also allow Trump to urinate all over it with his AI slop. You can't be both a supporter of this and somebody who holds JC in the highest of regards.
