To be clear, the DoD does not actually want your good for nothing kids, we love the AVF, this administration just says crazy shit. They just thought this would sound cool as part of their "nothing is off the table" talking point.

I grew up in Danvers, I rode my bike to the drug store to get penny candy. it's changed way too much to be a quaint "town".

"I am no longer a child and this is very upsetting to me."

There is no farm suicide epidemic.

If you line up rural & blue collar occupations by suicide rate, farmers are way (WAY) down the list.

It's a good talking point for shaking money out of the gov't though, so the farm lobby keeps talking about it.

he just makes mouth noises until he gets the response he’s looking for and people report them as if they mean something

Thank you to all the people who are good at talking about random things for hours.

everyone is complaining.
everywhere.
join in.
the more people complain about this, the weaker the administration gets.

We ask so much of our children so that people can drive as fast as they want

Biden gave this to America and America hated it.

Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

Happy Women's Day from the New York Times 😒

should be pretty straightforward to work out how big a subsidy this is to oil that we're paying for

The constituency of Americans who see DEI as detrimental to the country is vanishingly small, the sort of constituency that can easily be ignored if politicians want to ignore it.

Also they keep saying it will put me out of work with its writing. That’s crap. I get yelled at when Dev changes a release date! AI isn’t going to monitor a bunch of slacks because a release can’t pass QA!

I get why they thought this, because this is largely how Trump’s first term worked. He’d do something and then either the courts would say no or some underling would fix it. The biggest difference with Trump II is that he’s unconstrained, both by SCOTUS and his own cabinet. It’s all true believers.

The reason Biden caught the fallout over the economic recovery, which was EXCELLENT unlike what everyone on this fucking website thinks and will get to learn over and over again in the next four years or so, is that wreckers come on here and say stupid shit like this

“All those Ron DeSantis lawsuits in pursuit of a failed POTUS run? Also Biden’s fault. If he’d just worn a mask in public forever….”

Now I get why Dem politicos go after swing white voters, too. Less fucking likely to lie on you

All it taught me is that online leftists are not to be trusted and their foreign policy beliefs in particular are dog shit and usually antisemitic

How Pixar’s Open Sexism Ruined My Dream Job (Guest Column) A former Pixar employee writes that after John Lasseter's departure, the company still has a lot of work to do to fix its sexist culture.

If you're wondering how bad things were at Pixar for women, the answer is pretty horrifyingly bad.

I just assume every man who did well at Pixar during Lasseter's tenure is a weenie. And the fact that (as far as I'm aware) none of them have even attempted to publicly reckon with what went on there or the fact that if they'd been women they wouldn't have their careers just bolsters my assumption.

Showed this to the autist I love. Immediate nod and grin of agreement

And, by the way, you need the administrative state to come to identify as an anti-MAGA, anti-populist institution. Not as a left-wing or Democratic Party institution. But most certainly as an institution that identifies MAGA-style politics as its enemy.

Trump is giving us a solid base by destroying his car dealership landed gentry, let’s use that

It's absolutely amazing how dedicated Trump has been to finding and pressing "FUCK THE ECONOMY" buttons, and has finally found a button he can't un-press when he feels like TACOing.

As someone who works for an embassy rn, let me just say that some diplomats are also blinkered by the fact that they cannot really imagine politics being as ideological, irrational, and as driven by personal desires as it is lol

the animating force in current Republican politics seems to be a form of dominance, perhaps best encapsulated by the famous "when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything". These are guys who never want to hear no, never want to feel they have to do a single thing they don't want to do

But there are dreams that cannot be….

Insane Texas gerrymander

I HAD A DREAM OF DREAMS GONE BY
WHEN HOPE WAS HIGH AND LIFE WORTH LIVING
I DREAMED THAT LOVE WOULD NEVER DIE
I DREAMED THAT GOD WOULD BE FORGIVING

Also, the part where they are chickenshit about owning any of it is what rankles. You wanted this! Or you learned nothing from getting lefty points on HRC in 2016 in advance. Cowards.

Like all these people did what Bibi wanted like they were paid for it and won’t consider that means they are easy marks for propaganda from the right.
