the idea that winning an election means you have a mandate to do anything you want needs to die in a ditch

“but he was legitimately elected”

yes he was, and he immediately followed it up by committing a lot of crimes and otherwise attempting to destroy our entire system of government and replace it with autocracy

just because people made a mistake doesn’t mean we can’t fix it

I deleted my account. At some point, if you're always hanging out at an outlaw biker bar, you're an outlaw biker.

Twitter under Jack hated hackers and wouldn't verify @2600.com or @goldste.in (or me). Have you seen anything different over here?

Dictator keeps doing dictator shit and the newspapers are like "Provocative choices" and "Complex questions." No, it's a dictator doing dictator shit and it doesn't need to be more complicated than that.

Good morning and happy Saturday to everyone. Firing the person responsible for reporting the jobs numbers because you don't like the numbers is like firing your doctor because you don't like your cholesterol numbers, which only makes sense if you’re in the Epstein files.

Two nests of hornets set up shop on Jimbo Meydenbauer Meowser The First's catio and he was banned from it yesterday while I dispensed with them. This was an unpopular decision and he had strong opinions. After wet food and pets this morning, all is right with the world now.

Visit the mayor of Talkeetna! :)

I just saw someone on Reddit describe Las Vegas as “If Ticketmaster was a city” and holy crap.

Trump orders nuclear submarines moved after Russian 'provocative statements' U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said he had ordered two nuclear submarines to be positioned in "the appropriate regions" in response to statements from former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

Trump is so desperate to put a lid on the Epstein files that he will literally risk global thermonuclear war in order to do it. www.reuters.com/world/trump-...

What I think is far more likely, is not that they cook the books on the data, but simply that they stop publishing all but the most basic figures. The PRC has cut the number of public data series available by like 90%, we’re gonna do the same thing.

I am an economist and I commented to a friend that while I’m not going to reflexively second guess the data (not least of all because these people are too stupid to fake it convincingly - if they cook it, it’ll be obvious ), l am going to do some light backchecking, like what I used to do with China

A black cat stood in a bath, drinking from the tap. His tongue is sticking out. Only his eyes and nose are in focus, the rest is blurry, making him seem out of proportion.

I swear, it's impossible to take a normal photo of Edgar Allan Paws. He just emits pure photographic chaos fields.

Historian here that is the Soviet Lada in this tweet! The big ugly GOP bill is really taking America backwards and making America bankrupt!

Me three months ago:

the left is full of people who think sex is rad, and are happy to give advice on how to experience it

there's not a lot can be done to help dudes get laid if their problem is they don't want to be tolerable and/or they won't treat women like human beings

a orange and white cat and a gray cat confer atop a desk haphazardly strewn with books and electronic devices

A pair of cats takes control of the situation on #CaturdayEve.

whoops (I'd argue this is more impt than the jobs data actually)

*US ISM MANUFACTURING INDEX AT NINE-MONTH LOW OF 48; EST. 49.5

Answering a yes/no question with "I'm not going to participate" should be immediately and entirely disqualifying if you're running for public office.

job numbers are in the toilet, meanwhile we're about to dump a trillion dollars on this shit

As virtually everyone else has now said, the jobs data going forward will be more or less meaningless

That Kamala interview was heart breaking because it's one of the few times that I've ever seen a national political figure say the system is broken and that trying to work within it to change things probably wont work.

Trump fires BLS commissioner after bad jobs report President Trump on Friday directed his team to fire the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics following a dismal jobs report he blamed squarely on the appointee of former President Biden.

I'm sure the new commissioner will understand the assignment and the next jobs report will look just great.

They ended cancer research for this.

A black and white cat with intense yellow eyes stares directly at the camera with a suspicious expression, sitting upright on a green surface. It looks like it knows your darkest secret.

I know what you did :3

That thing where you step on your cat and they run and hide and look at you like you are a monster. Hi. It’s me. I’m the monster.

Ooh, you're going to SUE. I'm sure that'll do something. The Trump regime sure cares about rule of law and follows court orders, right?

More than anything else, this is the thing that persuades me that Trump does not plan on leaving in 2028

"But an electronic visa isn't the same as a visa!"

The only difference is that it's not a sticker in your passport. You still have to apply, pay a fee, and wait for approval. You can't just show up anymore, or anything close to that.

The US passport is getting weaker. So far since Inauguration Day, we have lost visa free access to the UK, Israel, Brazil, and Japan. This is on top of previously losing visa free access to South Korea, and losing visa free access to Equatorial Guinea. Next year, we will lose EU visa free access.
