cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war

Hegseth sucks. The Qataris suck. But we aren’t giving Qatar an airbase in Idaho. It’s building dorms etc. at an existing base to train them on F-15s we sold them, just like Singapore already has there. Common arrangement we have with lots of countries. This one was already being planned under Biden.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest. There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day. What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid. It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

Whoa! I have no memory of that one.

Came here to point this out. I love that this has remained unchanged since my childhood in the '90s. (As has Rizzs for that matter).

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

There’s an essay to be written about how maga patriotism is just shitty fandom. Anyone who follows sports knows fans like this, it’s always the ref’s fault, the other team doesn’t exist, there’s some plot/player/coach holding the team back otherwise they’d always win easy bsky.app/profile/atru...

my blood pressure is current 525/200 from tension, science says it’s impossible but here I am. hash tag mariners.

I am dreading literally everything

Actually, I'd rather they scored more runs... this is too tense.

YET

Done

Sounds like a good plan to me, I'm in

Matthew 15:29-31: And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them after verifying their citizenship status.

heck yeah, shout this from the rooftops

This is such an essential phrase: “The only Constitutional rights upon which we can depend are those we extend to the weakest and most reviled among us.”

The President just summoned top military to try to get them to show their fealty to him directly and talked about using American cities as military training grounds and purging "the enemy within".

That's what matters right now.

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office.

I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

While acknowledging everything in the world is in complete turmoil, I am still leaving space to celebrate Baseball Heaven Day where we have 10+ hours of nonstop playoffs.

Looking forward to this!

This is (of course) completely unprofessional, inexcusable, and indefensible. Absolutely no reason I can see for this kind of violence. She is not a threat.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Further, please do everything you can to get RFK Jr. fired. He is hellbent on killing children.

Canceled my Disney+. Not much on there for me on there anyway after Andor ended, and it's an infinitesimal relative to everything, but still felt good. Left a nice note too explaining why I was canceling.
