Can this nonsense continue? At some point, even if human decency is dead, the jackasses are going to want eat some fruit.

Universities can't even have a Gay Sex Command Center anymore, because of woke.

At this moment, it’s simply reassuring to know that this set of discerning policy professionals has also reformed the country’s medical research agenda, energy R&D portfolio, foreign aid and intelligence program, and military doctrine. We are in good hands.

“Losing your mind” is the correct response to that face.

That is exactly true.

the details here are quite technical. there's finding money and there's finding money. but agreeing to spend USG money that is not appropriated is actually a statutory crime on the part of the individual who makes the obligation. So not Trump, but the appointee/employee who does it.

I knew I shouldn’t have used that @!*$# AI!

Welp folks, death to America I s’pose

three panel cartoon by @emilyscartoons.bsky.social … in the first panel one person says "let's not talk about politics any more, I can't bear it" and the other person replies "same." in the second panel, they say nothing. in the third panel, the first person yells "THE THING IS THOUGH" and the second person yells back "THOSE FUCKING IDIOTS"

literally every time I talk to friends

I think he truly hates America because we didn’t let him win in 2020 and we had the audacity to call him on his bad behavior in the first and second impeachment trials. And then his civil and criminal trials.This presidency is his temper tantrum. His hissy-fit. His revenge.

Haven't mentioned it in a minute, but @billcorbett.bsky.social and I are still delving greedily & deep on Ringheads. We've just started working our way through the beloved BBC radio adaptation of LOTR from 1981. It's quite British, and quite cool. Now's a good time to hang out in Middle-earth, imo.

The Soy Right Needs A Safe Space We are being ruled by the softest losers alive

"They have special diets are afraid of seed oils. They wear skinny jeans and have meticulously groomed beards. They talk non stop about masculinity, drive pickups, and wear plaid, but can’t change a tire to save their lives."

Pretty damn good framing for Dems

Sean Thomason @TheThomason Trying to imagine what it'd take for me to yell at a server. Like if I ordered an omelette and they brought me a bowl of rats? But I'd probably still just be like "I'm sorry, you seem to have brought me someone else's bowl of rats."

Just imagining a world where the US had an agency, maybe an Aid agency for the US, that worked to make life a little easier, maybe softer, and empowered people in ways that made them like the US instead of China. Hegseth and Trump should look into that.

When he described “shithole countries” I didn’t realize it was aspirational.

Also, people need to quit blaming their problems on people who are already struggling to just exist. Instead, be kind and supportive towards them and fix the problems in your own life. There’s a few good books about this too.

Trans rights should be our highest priority. If we allow them to strip rights from a small minority, it becomes easier stripping rights from larger groups.

There's a poem about this.

They suck equally hard.

Actual phone call with Tammy Duckworth’s staff:

Me: “Before I go how are you doing?”

Staffer: [wearily] “What?”

Me: “How are you doing? I’m assuming things are busy right now.”

Staffer: “Oh,” [deep breath] “You know, we’re just glad voters are engaged and appreciate your call. Sincerely.”

Any "celebrity" (and I use the term very, very loosely) like "Dr. Phil" who go along on rides to deport people, is a POS.

It's that simple. If your idea of entertainment is to ride along on a spectacle of human rights violations, dig a hole and crawl in. Stay there.

“When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.” Apparently this is his mantra for every situation. I thought the Antichrist would at least be stylish and interesting.

Having to fight Elon Musk at DOGE before we’ve even battled Trump feels like having to defeat the forces of Saruman first at Helm’s Deep.

Guy who runs a farmers market booth I’ve shopped at for years had much less produce than usual, he said people are afraid to work thanks to ICE and the new administration. Grimness everywhere.
