It's Chaos, Be Kind

TFG.

We’ve all had days where we’ve woken up, forgotten to brush our teeth, and closed all El Paso airspace for an hour instead.

Clownshoe administration.

lol they are such clowns. Imagining Sean Duffy & Pete Hegseth did chin-ups on an Iron Cross to resolve this.

Tarrifs have sucked shit and wrecked lives, you rancid Dominionist know-nothing.

Absolutely delusional.

Cover artists are being pushed out by AI, or if they're lucky, are only merely retraining to cope with a huge stylistic change in cover art...which is also being pushed out by AI.

Patreons are earning less than they did, which, like, SO ARE THE PATRONS. IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT, OR A SURPRISE!

The FAA has issued a separate security NOTAM for Santa Teresa, New Mexico, banning all flight operations in the affected area for the same time window and altitude limits as the El Paso airspace closure, citing “special security reasons.”

So in addition to the Second Amendment, looks like the right is ceding the Castle Doctrine, too.

BARBARISM.

Live Updates: F.A.A. Halts All Flights at El Paso Airport for 10 Days

The total lack of explanation or comprehension from all sources contacted I this article is really unsettling - nobody has any idea why a major city was just suddenly grounded - with lethal force authorized against any aircraft that didn’t get the memo.

MAGA dimwit Peter Navarro accidentally admitted Trump-MAGA's claim about immigrants taking jobs is a scam. And as @pkrugman.bsky.social notes, not only is job growth down; *manufacturing* jobs are also down. The whole MAGA story is in collapse.

I drew a face on a paper plate. Who could even begin to understand how it perceives the world or what it dreams of?

The fawning sycophancy of this woman is remarkable even in this ridiculous administration.

The New Orleans one seems a little different, and it's only for five days (coinciding with Mardi Gras, as it happens). But the El Paso and New Mexico ones give me the willies.

A map of the US border area of New Mexico and Texas, showing two large regions in which the airspace has been closed for the next 10 days.

Oh look, there's another big section of the border with Mexico closed for "security reasons" in addition to the city of El Paso. This definitely doesn't make me twitchy at all.

Yeah man, anything is possible these days, even stuff that previously I would've dismissed as tinfoil hat fantasy.

The idea of having AI taking over the vast majority of these jobs makes my skin crawl.

Moar tariffs!!!

You're going have to excuse me if I get a little paranoid when the federal government suddenly shuts down the airspace around a city that borders a country that the administration has made stupid noises about making military incursions into at points in the past.

The airspace over El Paso airport, Texas, has been suddenly closed by the FAA for ten days, closing the airport too. The airspace has been defined as "National Defence Airspace". Nobody knows why.

wtf

Johnson said 6 members of Congress should be criminally indicted for the video since they got in the way of sensitive operations. The Speaker wants Democrats arrested for speaking. That’s where we are at with this Republican Party.

Helluva statement from Colorado Rep Crow (D) on the Trump administration's failure to indict him and others

House Republicans break with Trump, blocking a bid to protect tariff authority GOP leaders launched an unsuccessful bid to reinstate a ban on resolutions that challenged the president's sweeping tariffs.

A win for opponents of the (unlawful and destructive) Trump tariffs. 3 House Republicans refuse to toe the party line. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

I know I get kind of shouty sometimes, but this one really burns me. The flu fucking sucks, and in some cases Even kills people, and if medical science can make the flu suck less, let's do it.

THIS IS SO FUCKING STUPID.

jesus

New York Magazine’s coverage from 2007 treated her as a joke & backgrounded Epstein raping her. (“rococo law filings filed by William J Unroch, Esq, on behalf of his client and maybe-girlfriend, Maximilia ‘Ava’ Cordero, a self-described model who claimed that at 16 she was molested by…Epstein”)
