It makes me want to scream when people present Reagan as the voice of reason.

HE WAS NEVER THE FUCKING VOICE OF REASON, YA'LL. LISTEN TO US OLDS. WE WILL TELL YOU.

Quite literally everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie. Every syllable. Even the punctuation is a lie.

This makes me SO happy. Thanks for booing.

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

It's one reason my husband encouraged his Mom to go to Smith when she decided to go to college at 47 (circa 1994). She did and LOVED IT. She's still friends with a lot of the women she met there. Both traditional age and older, as she was.

She ended up with a 2nd career as a college administrator.

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?

HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

Alex on twitter writes: "Someone on Twitter writes: "You’re a menswear writer. You don’t know anything about manufacturing in America, or steel mills, or metallurgy, or CNC machining, or how anything is produced from raw material into a finished product in this country or anywhere. Stick to writing about “men’s fashion."" I reply: "i actually had a career in knifemaking before this. the reason why you can't avoid tariffs in knifemaking is because everyone relies on Gobelin machinery. are you aware of this?" Alex replies: "Gobelin machinery? What exactly are you referring to?" I reply: "you Gobelin DEEZ NUTS!"

"stick to menswear"

You are one reason that social media can be amazing. Never change. Thank you for BEING YOU.

Yesterday at COSTCO, boneless beef chuck (a tough and fatty cut) was $6.99 a lb. Two years ago this was $3.99 a lb.

Go to therapy. Do the work. Stare down the hard shit. Confront your messes.

It's not fast, and it's not easy. But DO IT. It's the single best thing I ever did for myself.

This should point out to all but the MOST dense how interconnected our world is.

But Trump and his cronies keep pretending that someone ELSE will pay the tariffs. We are ruled by a madman. A really really stupid mad man, surrounded by stupid yes men and evil minions.

This raises the question of why TX pays legislators so poorly (the Lege only meets every OTHER year). TX has a population of 29M people.

But they run the state like its population was 4M in 1910. Australia has a slightly smaller population than TX and pays its legislators US$137K (A$212K).

To quote Bugs Bunny: WHAT A MAROON.

They're easily circumvented with a VPN. Some of which are free. It's completely stupid and a waste of time and energy. No teenager has problems avoiding age restrictions. It's simply absurd to pretend they will.

But "WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?" No bill author knows any teenagers.

At least it's not blocking fire trucks, as they did in SF.

Or it could be that David Mamet is just a cranky old....well...crank.

These are the same type of leftists who said in the 1980s "Electing Reagan will bring on the revolution more quickly." Really.

That haircut is on purpose. Oh my. Her hairdresser hates her.

Dersh doesn't DESERVE pierogies.

It's weird that some white British people hate that people came to the UK from other parts of the then empire.

But they forget that Britain spent 300 years sailing around the world taking over countries they didn't understand, stealing their stuff and gave their citizens no choice in the matter.

It bears repeating endlessly.

GHISLAINE MAXWELL IS A CONVICTED RAPIST. She's not a victim. She knew exactly what she was doing.

She's a disgusting POS who should be in prison for the rest of her life.

What on earth are you talking about? Do you think it's a good thing that Gaza has been flattened and that 2M people are being starved by the IDF and murdered when they try to get food?

What is wrong with you?

WHY? Why on earth is this any business of ANY state agency anywhere?

It's deeply creepy. Party of "liberty?" Sure, Jan. That word has as much meaning in this day of fascist "republicans" as "christian" does to describe people who hate immigrants, the poor and others Jesus told them to SERVE.

Both. Sometimes better, sometimes worse. It all depends on who votes.

When good people refuse to vote we end up with Trump. It's really that simple.

Here's a non-paywalled version of that article.

He was sure he wouldn't be caught that he was disseminating CSAM WHILE he was a diplomat in the US. That's why he was charged and served a prison sentence in Vatican City.

It's deeply disgusting. But SO typical of the church. Always protect priests. Nothing else matters.

A convicted priest is back at work. Child advocates want Pope Leo to act. Carlo Alberto Capella served prison time for a child pornography conviction but was allowed to return to work at the Vatican, posing a test for Pope Leo XIV.

He did. This case tells you what they think of people CONVICTED of abusing kids (disseminating CSAM IS abusing kids because it creates demand).

"Oh he's all fixed now." Nonsense. This sleazebag should've been defrocked and left penniless.

He looks like he's about to have a coronary right there on TV. Yikes. Where do they FIND these ugly old white guys?

Said the stunningly handsome old white guy. 😜

And the recent Medicaid cuts are only going to make matters worse in lots of poorer (and browner) states.
