Same kinda vibes in the debate:

Q: “Have you called 311?”
MAMDANI: “I have sometimes, it wasnt great”
SLIWA: “I call them so much that it’s unclear if them hanging up is the system’s problems or exasperation w’ me”
CUOMO: “my assistant had me try once for this, terribly unpleasant, glad I’m rich”

CUOMO: I will work with the Trump Administration to impose a 45% Happiness Tax on all New Yorkers any time you feel happy. So that you won't.

ADAMS: JALAPENO POPPERS GAVE ME THE JESUS POWER I NEEDED TO FIND THE MONEY LAUNDERING IN MY BLOOD

MAMDANI: I like it here and you people deserve nice things

Texas Republican Keithself storms out of the meeting he's supposed to be running because a Democrat asked him to treat his colleague Sarah McBride with respect. These people would not last one day as a trans person.

Normally I’d ask “how the fuck is that legal” but these days I just assume it isnt but nobody in power to do anything about it cares

This is something else

People still used skype?

Honest answer, best to use something more universal these days like whatsapp

Good

Trump and Vance blast Zelenskyy in Oval Office meeting, suggesting he needs to be more grateful President Donald Trump chided Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after Vice President JD Vance, one of the administration’s most skeptical voices on Ukraine, said Zelenskyy was being disrespectfu...

Holy shit. Is this really what you want our role in the world to be, conservatives? This? Really?

Since Trump has claimed Elon doesn’t run DOGE, we wanted to make sure you know who is running our government. This list has been updated with 15 names.

That only makes sense if you assume the best options are the ones being advertised to you. You need to be your own advocate, sure, but consulting with your doctor and careful reading and searching are the ways to do that, not seeing a “miracle” drug on tv and concluding that’s the right fit for you

But then how would I know about all those happy people who take skyrizzi! They look so joyful in the commercial, I would love to be that joyful! /s

its amazing the way conservative arguments fall completely apart in court when there are actually penalties for lying

I think everyone’s waiting for the spark that lights everything up. It has that feel right now.

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

Video obtained by CNN shows the rear landing gear of the jet buckling and the right wing shearing away in a fireball after the plane landed hard on the runway.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Europe is about to take their mantle back, but way better than they were pre-WW2. I wonder if history will treat this the same way we look at the greek—>roman—>byzantine transitions

3/3

This is an unforced error, and a stupid one, on our part. We will be left behind. This is the opposite of making “America great again” 2/3

What’s interesting about watching Zelensky and other European leaders discuss the future of NATO is that it’s also a good way to watch the US voluntarily cede the position of leadership of the western world that we’ve occupied since WW2.

That's weird i would've thought the teenage staffer of a fake agency named after a shit coin would have an exemplary record

Is there kompromat or something going on? I cant figure out why the GOP, even as on board the “trump train” as they are, are so desperate to give up their authority to this guy. Hell, are there not at least a handful of votes in the house on the GOP side to swing things? Wtf is going on?

Maybe this will encourage them to make a sequel series to lower decks and give SNW a pile more seasons to help out actually successful trek.

Eh, who am I kidding, they’ll double down and make something worse instead

It constantly amazes me that so much of what’s going on is purely driven by conservative men’s abject terror that their dicks will get confused by a trans woman

This is at the top of my favorite standalone books from Turtledove, along with with The Case of the Toxic Spell Dump and Thessalonica. Underrated and a bit oddball books that need to get more attention :)
