This was an excellent use of everyone's time and resources.

not to be confused with quesadilla

I can't imagine what it is like to work your ass off to get to the highest level of your profession, only to have millions of people only know you for throwing a ball to nobody.

I'm not exactly an accomplished online dater, but I'm pretty sure spending 90% of your profile talking about your ex is a bad idea.

I mean, to Mike Johnson and the modern GOP, the values of the United States are totalitarianism, an all-powerful strongman leader, ignorance, bigotry, bullying, and sneering cruelty. I do hate those things, and I hate the people who embrace them, so I guess I hate their America.

Rule requires landing on his legs, which he didn't do.

Party of law and order always meant THEY get to decide the law and you must follow THEIR orders.

What do you think she means by "equal scrutiny" between parties? Like "If someone does X, always report it" or "spend equal time reporting on two parties, even if one party is doing 98% of the fascism"?

The deep dish is calling

/6 If you are stuck in the McArdlian view "we can't think of the other side of evil" -- which I view as sociopathic -- I have to ask, is there ANYTHING they can do that will make you call it evil? Is there ANYTHING they can do that won't make you say "I should focus on finding common ground?"

It has been studied. It is a defining characteristic of how fascists describe their opponents.

The complaints are always about power. Men complain about HR and bosses because the men want the power. Men complain about women doing things to appease someone other than them, because they want the power.

It is always about power and control.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

The entire GOP establishment got out played by the dumbest Nazis for control of the useful idiot.

CONGRATULATIONS TO NO ONE

The number of thing this current crop of GOP "leadership" has chosen to do which are completely dumbfoundingly stupid will never cease to amaze me.

Like... you already won. No one was asking for quackery in the cabinet. You already had a clear path forward for graft and corruption. Why do this?

Wanna see a dead body?

It isn't like people will follow, or cops will enforce the ordinances either.

The answer has always been simple: better infrastructure. Separate the bikes from cars AND from pedestrians.

Tangential thought: Waaaaay too many judges (like 95%) presume good faith by attorneys, waaaaay too often.

Many, many, MANY more attorneys should be sanctioned for wasting everyone's time.

I'm no theologian, but now I definitely don't understand orthodox Judaism.

I only ride the UP-N, but it always bothers me those trains drive on the left side of the "road"

Perfect is good, right? 🐻

@zachweinersmith.bsky.social I need to expressly thank you for telling me to google babydoll sheep.

This Week's Onion Magazine:

The only positive about the American Right's headlong dive into fascism is that they are led by very dumb people.

Guess I should start buying Chicago flag merch before I travel.

They really are that dumb.

I saw an article a while back about a study suggesting most of the relaxation from cigarettes was basically because it was functionally a breathing exercise. Their control group used fake cigarettes, and had people take drags on them and got similar amounts of relaxing.
