One thing nobody prepares you for in mid-life is just how *bland* things become.

You’ve heard your favorite song a billion times. Know every word of your favorite movie. You’ve fought every battle a thousand times.

Everything is as it has been and little is novel.

And if anyone believes that January's numbers won't be revised down, much in the same way the prior months were, I have a wonderful bridge to sell you.

U.S. added 130,000 jobs in January, but labor market growth stalled in 2025 The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that U.S. employers added 181,000 jobs last year, far fewer than the 1.46 million jobs that were added in 2024.

US had almost *no* job growth in 2025.

Hiring numbers were revised down by over a million jobs.

Largest annual revision in over 20 years.

IMO perjury by law enforcement should be treated as a GREATER crime than it would be for the average person, because so much trust has to be placed in law enforcement; the breach of trust is more significant with deeper ramifications when LEOs lie.

It does not.

AI cannot even ask a single question unprompted. Even a 2-year-old can ask, "why?"

Basic curiosity is essential to intelligence, and it would stand out to me immediately that all these "AI" systems never once ask even a clarifying question.

Imagine if Joe Biden had loudly crapped his pants during a dog & pony show in front of a room full of the news media. It'd be all we heard about for the next year, at least.

"Liberal" media my ass.

JUST ONCE I want someone in the media to ask the question:

"Exactly which immigration law was being enforced by ICE here?"

It's the media's goddamned job to ask these questions and to demand real answers, but so far as I can tell they're not even asking, and they are reporting on the baldfaced lies coming out of this administration with the same enthusiasm as the noon farm report.

or:

"Which immigration law was the officer enforcing when he summarily executed a man for trying to help a woman an officer had just shoved to the ground?"

#ICE is not being used to enforce immigration law. They're being used as the bulbous toddler's personal lawless goon squad.

Just once I'd like someone from our "liberal" mainstream news media to ask this administration a question like:

"Which immigration law was the officer enforcing when he went out of his way to shove a woman, who was exercising her right to protest, to the ground?"

The media covers the absolutely lawless behavior of ICE and the President with all the same interest and enthusiasm that they have when reporting on street closures for the sake of drain maintenance.

Hive mind: has anyone done an analysis of the number of news articles discussing Biden's mental fitness as it compares to the relative absence of said articles about the sundowning President we have now? It seems like a massive double standard but actual numbers would be useful.

I wish MN could/would charge them with kidnapping, false arrest, and violation of his civil rights and criminal conspiracy. I know it’s unlikely to happen, but in a just world it would. But for their uniforms and taking orders from the orange moron, they would be.

What the fuck is she talking about? Of course that would be protected as long as by streaming they weren’t actually physically obstructing law enforcement from doing their jobs. She can’t possibly be that stupid, can she?
