Why National Guard troops are now picking up trash in D.C. Why has the Trump administration assigned troops to garbage duty in the nation’s capital? The closer one looks at the answer, the worse it appears.

The absurdity is competing with the outrageousness. Criminality outpaces both.

With black paint on border barriers, Trump and Noem are repeating a familiar mistake The last time the president ordered officials to apply black paint to border barriers, it was an expensive failure. Naturally, he’s trying it again.

Cruelty-based stupidity, they name is... you know

And they're wasting OUR MONEY for this ridiculousness

That doesn’t surprise me.

Ozzy & Sharon got my respect when I learned their oldest daughter didn’t want to be on TV. I then noticed the weird blocking & editing to honor her wishes during holiday episodes, etc.Their kids’ needs came first

Workers at the Chicago History Museum won their union election with @afscme31.bsky.social in April. Since then, management launched a relentless retaliation campaign, including illegal layoffs.

The #BetterInAUnion bus tour joined the workers today to stand up to management’s union-busting!

It's so crazy we live in a world where female athletes are striking for better wages and dodging sex toys being thrown at them, while trans athletes are being accused of evil scheming so they can play women's sports, which pays well and is highly dignified. It's almost like someone's full of shit

They've riled up their base and have given them one lane to occupy: take out your anger, become an ICE agent, and chase down migrants. They are preying on people's hate.

I still miss Darren Watts terribly. I hadn't realized how used to I had become during COVID to talking to him about everything from game design to movies to comic books, etc, usually in quick Discord chats or before one of his games started. Somehow he became the big brother I didn't know i needed

I think Ozzy was like most people -- a mix of good, bad, and trying hard while sometimes failing. But the fact that he used his last days to raise money for charity and his kids knew that he loved them says a lot IMO.

Living life so that you're missed when the time comes isn't a bad philosophy
