I've worked Black Friday in a Barnes & Noble cafe multiple times and that is a far more noble profession than taking money to prop up Tommy fucking Tuberville.

Interested to see if Polymarket can make the transition from insider trading app to kill list.

Was it everything y'all hoped for?

Very much support this interpretation

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"

Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

Trump could argue - and I am not saying I agree - that his Art II powers allow him to act for 60 days against imminent threats
to the USA and its allies, as well as under general UN self-defense Art 51 provisions.
It's bullshit, but presidents get wiiiiiiiide latitude on this

... oh, they're totally setting up Claude and Anthropic to take the fall for blowing up a girls school.

Curiosity is killing the cat here, for me. I want to know the answer, but suspect I'll see it in a future book.

One of my colleagues wrote about this over 30 years ago, noting that Congress was all about "blame avoidance" in foreign policy, which basically made the president a king

This really should be on the cover of every history book ever

Broke: drunk dialing your ex and leaving sad voicemails
Woke: drunk dialing congresspeople and cussing them out

God, one can only hope this is the dying gasp of the Boomers in power and it passes very quickly.

Gen X, we need to stop abdicating and do better .

don't worry about it

SCIF now stands for “Some Curtains In Front”

Thursday day game seriously limits your bar options unless they are opening early just for the game.

I mean if we nuke Iran we'll just move from one impending humanitarian crisis to a more immediate and pressing one, except we sacrificed all our soft power and mechanisms for dealing with it, so really we're just priming another area of the world to hate us for generations.

I would love to see a redo of "Clone High," but updated with more modern characters including DJT.

They have 3 kids all tween to teenage, it just makes life easier.

I know someone who does. They have cabinets, but they basically work out of one dishwasher and fill the other simultaneously. Nouveau Rich.

The tech industry plunges into a crisis of memory The Big Three memory-chip producers—Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron—can’t meet demand for both AI data centers and consumer electronics, whose prices are rising with no end in sight.

Waiting for the RAM crisis to hit new-car electronics, as vehicle MSRPs already spiral out of control.

I suspect you're right. It may have moved there with my parents from their previous home.

Mystery to me. They moved into their current house when I was 2 weeks old +46 years ago.

My folks had the double oven in the kitchen and another range with double oven in the basement for god knows what reason.

The range is finally gone.

The deep freeze that dates to the early 50s and uses ammonia as the refrigerant is still running strong.

Go to bed. It's not getting any better tonight.

In "fairness," it does come from a fairly accurate read of the electorate.

"Authoritarianism but I get to live in Star Trek off the backs of an oppressed low wage migrant class we can tyrannize at will" is basically what the 2024 election said people wanted.

Yes in this particular moment the blame is 99.9% on Republicans. A dozen R’s in Congress could together end this presidency now

Me: preemptively puts paper in tray 1 prior to a big print job, goes downstairs to computer.

Printer: out of paper, tray 2

Me: touche! <goes upstairs> <refills paper> <goes downstairs> <restarts printing>

Printer: black ink empty 🤪

Me: 🤬🤬🤬🤬😤

FEMA taps billions for disasters, warning Democrats of ‘dire’ shutdown impact The agency sent out more than $5 billion in a single week, considerably shrinking cash for disasters amid the DHS shutdown.

LMAOOOOOO.

Noem's strategy of pretending the Disaster Relief Fund was almost empty didn't work, so she drained it (bad) by paying out $5 billion in recovery projects (good).

This lady is fucking nuts.

As someone who assumes that China will take the opportunity to seize Taiwan, this is a very important point to remember.

How about Congress has DJT pay for his illegal war out of his crypto accounts...
