Are we still looking for waste, fraud, and abuse? I think I found some.

So sorry for your terrible loss.

A handsome silver haired white man with a mustache and blue eyes leaning on a railing.

I miss him.

And.

This is so hard still.

No single step forward defeated fascists of the past. It was an accumulation of steps, big and small, that ultimately led to the downfall. Years of steps, in fact.

Negating those steps because you're sad mad whatever is counterproductive to the end goal.

Marathon, not a sprint.

"You let your cat..."

Yes. Whatever the rest of the sentence is, yes. Because I fear them as much as I love them. They are organized. They always watch.

How stupid he said.

How EVIL is it that plutocrats profit from MASS MURDER and then start wars?

How EVIL is It the plutocrats profit from INCARCERATION and imprison more people than any country in the world? Including children?

We The People will not tolerate or cooperate with these atrocities.

We are in revolt.

The FEAR is also a problem. You may have a rather useful teammate who can actually kill something now and then without feeling compelled to empty a majority of the clip into the crate-covered background, but the moment they come across the first icy corpse/blood spattered wall, they instantly fall to pieces. While you’re trying to figure out which one of the equally non-descript buildings contains THE CUTSCENE (needed to advance the story), teammate X is laying on the floor in a fetal position, sucking his thumb and clicking his heels together, most likely surrounded by terrifying crates. FEAR ON So, what do you do? Give him another gun? Nothing stops the FEAR. And if said quivering wreck is integral to the story (i.e., surprise! he turns into an alien shortly down the line in the crucial CUTSCENE you can’t seem to find), well… you’re just kind of fucked. Because there is absolutely nothing you can do to move his whimpering ass to the room that contains the SCRIPT. Good news! You can have a crew of three people following you around at any given time, each one taking everything so goddamned personally that it becomes a perverse emotional micromanagement game. With limited ammo. Fun.

15 years ago, I buried a review of The Thing [PS2] in a lengthy review of The Thing [1982].

It still holds up

Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.

That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.

The dealer needs to keep you addicted.

A Night Off With Chickens I’ve had lots of travel and lots of travel delays in the last week, so I’m going to take a night off now that I’m safely back home, and get a little extra sleep.

We we spent trillions and a decade to regime change the Taliban with the Taliban and then it only took 9 days to regime change Khamenei with Khamenei

If only there was another war I could think of in recent memory involving the US in the Middle East, where regime change was promised, didn’t happen, victory was declared and then the whole thing was repeated catastrophically badly at a later date. 🤔

A new study finds hitchhiking bacteria dissolve essential ballast in ubiquitous “snow” particles, which could counteract the ocean’s ability to sequester carbon.

Trump: "No other president could do some of this shit I'm doing. The things I'm doing, nobody else is going to do it."

(he was talking about drug prices, but...)

The war is not over. Donald Trump is a demonic pedophile that is threatening Iran with more “Death, Fire, and Fury” unless they do exactly as he says. He needs to be removed from office immediately and sent to the International Criminal Court for massacring 170 school children.

“...Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives ... on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam...”

Educators keep making 'good trouble' Educators have learned how to exercise what agency they have, where they have it -- and that's a critical lesson for any one who's been feeling a little helpless lately, writes Nancy Rappaport.

Commentary: "Educators, perhaps more than anyone, don’t have the luxury of waiting out the chaos of our national politics," writes Nancy Rappaport.

NEW: The Russian military simply does not have the capacity to overrun Ukrainian defenses that Putin constantly claims. Latest Assessment ⬇️(

Ukrainian forces are successfully counterattacking not only in the Oleksandrivka and Hulyaipole directions but also in western Zaporizhia Oblast.

WAR will NOT make Pedophilia go away!

Great quotes in military history.

@atrupar.com

Trump could not tell the truth if his life depended on it. The Noem firing was a lie. He knew she had spent those funds and he ok it. He threw her under the bus like he does anyone that makes him look bad. That’s why he gave her a made up job. He’s lying about bombing the girls school too.

Republicans call on Hegseth to stop stalling on the “investigation” of the bombing of the girls school in Iran.

If Iran has been a threat for years, why did they not attack during Biden time?

On the other hand if Iran's nuclear facilities were obliterated by Destroyer in Chief and his team, how did Iran get up and running within a few months? What was the urgency?

Do they not fear the current admin?

This is basically Twitter in a nutshell

Happy 6th birthday to my sweet lady Ruby ❤️

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?
