Gf and I went for a walk yesterday and at a single intersection next to the Canadian embassy we spotted three Border Patrol recruiting trucks..

I guess they were appealing to tourists / trying to piss off the libs?

Between the lakes!

I think this is in part due to everything becoming arc/serialized TV, rather than just episodic. The joy of ST:TNG is that you can just fire up an episode, and it's fun! DS9 is a better show, but if you aren't watching it in order, the later seasons have fewer and fewer episodes you can just spin up

(Also Christopher Lambert's Raiden voice hits so hard on those vocal excerpt tracks.. )

The audio cassette jacket of the Mortal Kombat soundtrack from 1995, track list included

I recommend doing this! Though, tbf, I also recommend not doing this! That soundtrack hit so hard. Also 13yo Justin’s first experience to Traci Lords, which was probably for the best. But Halcyon and Something Good still hit so good!

At a previous office, I was told our workplace was so hostile that we “[can’t]” hire any women. I countered that was a reason that we should ASAP, but I lost that battle 🤷‍♂️

The lady friend has a 5 day weekend coming up, and "GDT Frankenstein" and "Robin Hood (the horny one)" are two potential activities listed in our little shared note (I would rate Frankenstein at 110% going to happen)

I'm back on my Alaska/Hawaii BS again: Alaska and Hawaii were admitted to the union (roughly) together because it was assumed Alaska would be reliably Democratic, and Hawaii reliably Republican 🤷‍♂️

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Most Masculine Military ever (no facial hair allowed)

Ironically, the value of prediction markets comes from insiders. I want the people with inside knowledge betting, not outsiders!

Of course, I also want the bets to be about when we’re going to launch a product, not a public market for who we’re going to bomb next

as a condition of funding, we were asked to affirm that we wouldn’t undertake any diversity, equity, and inclusion work, whether or not we used the government funds to do so. The PSF simply couldn’t agree to that statement,

I got some at Costco last month! It’s so good!

When I worked in Broadcom's lobbying office, people would see photos of Trump putting a medal around Hock Tan's neck and ask if he was a Republican. The reply was a bog standard "We don't know, we just know he likes money"

East Potomac Park is a DC gem that doesn't deserve to be turned into a slipshod dumping ground by a draft-dodging despot

I have never once known a woman not impressed by Diabolik's spinning bed of money

Right. Saying that someone else should run doesn't insult her past accomplishments!

"In response to questions about the donor’s identity and whether they have any ties to foreign entities or interests, a White House spokeswoman referred questions to the Pentagon and Treasury. The Pentagon then referred those questions back to the White House. Treasury did not immediately respond.."

The military doesn't "traditionally rely on public funds appropriated by Congress", it *Constitutionally* relies on public funds appropriated by Congress. There are good reasons we don't want private citizens funding the military, even if it's just drops in the bucket www.cnn.com/2025/10/24/p...

I wonder if any tattoo artists declined to do it before he found the one that did

Trump’s Vile New $230 Million Shakedown of DOJ Just Got Even Worse It’s bad enough that Trump wants—and DOJ will likely fork over—this tribute payment. Now, get this: It can probably be done at first without even being revealed publicly.

Awful: Trump's $230 million shakedown from DOJ can be paid to him confidentially at first, without the public ever finding out about it until later, Rep Jamie Raskin tells me.

Raskin will formally demand full communications between WH and DOJ on this.

New from me:

They’re these guys! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fogbank

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

She's apparently married to Charlie Homan... I can't see anything linking him to Tom Homan, but I'd be 0% shocked if she ended up being his daughter-in-law

Maybe the CHP should reconsider providing protective services to federal officials like the President and Vice President

Friday night my new lady friend (huge film buff, I love it so much) was sending me Predator TikToks (that I haven't watched yet!!) about masculinity and such in Predator: www.tiktok.com/@trademovies... & www.tiktok.com/@trademovies...

I love your tv wall!

Markey wears a trans pride flag draped over his shoulders. The closed caption reads "trans people because trans righs are human rights. We" The chiron underneath reads "No Kings Rally Underway In Boston"

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) at the Boston No Kings rally today, wore the trans pride flag like a scarf draped over his shoulders and included in his speech. "Because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We stand with trans people because trans rights are human rights."

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.
