@ShelleyAlaska @elonmusk Yeah. I like the backyard a lot. 😂

This will be my last tweet, so best not waste it: Fuck you @elonmusk. You broke a good thing. Go find the Titanic.

Today we’re learning how many Republicans it takes to screw a light bulb.

Hell of a callup line. That's a good skipper. #sfgiants #clawsup (h/t @mi_guardado)

In fairness, Marco Rubio never learned how to drink water, so his switch to Kool Aid was inevitable. Also, and always, #BeatLA https://t.co/5YcpchTop3

Kinda funny how we can interpret the Second Amendment to mean “Everyone gets a motorized future-cannon,” but can’t interpret Section Four of the Fourteenth Amendment to mean we should pay our bills.

@ShelleyAlaska I'm watching it in my office so no one else has to endure it. Liquor sounds like a good idea though.

This is the most embarrassing town hall in American history.

Weirdest coronation commentary I heard today, actually said into a mic, on camera: “This was one of the most diverse coronations we have ever seen.” 🤔

Maybe we should just hire Scott Boras as GM. #sfgiants

Jameson passed this afternoon. Thanks for 15 great years, kiddo.

Every time I turn on the news in the middle of a segment this week, I have to pause to figure out if they're talking about Jack Teixiera or Tucker Carlson. Sometimes takes longer than others.

[John Aronno @johnaronno]

Even I didn’t have that chyron on my bingo card (but, in retrospect, should’ve).

[John Aronno @johnaronno]

@NatalyinAK @MSNBC @chrislhayes I have nothing to suggest that. These things just tend to bundle and I'm concerned.

[John Aronno @johnaronno]

Tucker Carlson gets fired, and @MSNBC decides to go with Scarborough instead of @chrislhayes? Weird call. Hoping that's all there is to it.

Trump: Radical Left Pelosi Democrats
DeSantis: Wokeism
Youngkin: ESG

It’s the same damn thing: Nothing. But Youngkin has an edge, because no Fox/Newsmax/OANN viewer is going to look up an acronym.

@John_FN_Seiler I’ve been trying but we can’t sign one.
