As Rome fell, the coliseum games increased. Distraction has been a major political tool for a very long time

Fake awards, you mean like the Miss Universe Pagent?

Bounty hunters. They will bring them in hot or cold. They no longer care about doing what’s right or wrong, just what lines their pockets

Whoever it was is now collecting unemployment

That’s because jr doesn’t have a vagina.

I absolutely can not unsee this.

“I didn’t know what I was voting for”

Only a few?

Too much cool aid, not enough experiencing the world. Is sad that the cult is so full of sheep that have never tried to actually tried having an independent thought.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Some of the memes that got me going this evening

First, they came for the…… wait they have skipped a whole bunch of steps before they finally devour each other

On a side note, my son enlightened me to the thought that DOGE/Elon has the Epstein files and is holding them as black male for his safety.

Unfortunately, almost, if not all forecasters and meteorologists get their info from NOAA and other federal agencies. They have access to the raw data and make it available to the professionals and the public. Without them, everyone is running in the dark with scissors.

I love when our non elected government consultants are this mature to treat people’s lives like a game

Transphobic MAGA Fan Fired From Job After Trans 'Drag Race' Star Calls Him Out For Harassing Her Actions still have consequences.

Entering the find out stage of FAFO.

Absolutely agree on the more to it part. What I had not realized is the tariff is on the products value as it enters the country not the value it will be sold at. Still sucks but the initial starting point of the tariff is lower than I had thought

Interesting read. Not sure why the original example had a cost of $25, sold at $50 to FL, and retail of $100. Then $39 cost, $120 to FL, then $120. The tariff increased cost to FL should have been no more than $80 if cost is doubled, $160 cost. Still expensive, but more consistent comparison

And we still won’t see the prices drop at the pumps

A political cartoon by Slyngstad, dated 2025, depicts a man wearing a red "MAGA" hat sitting at a desk, looking concerned. He has a beard and is speaking, with a speech bubble that reads: "I was okay with the anti-trans stuff, demonizing immigrants, the gay bashing, sexism toward women, rounding people up off the street because of their skin color, all the other outright racism, but now I'm starting to think this could affect me." In front of him is a computer monitor displaying a graph with a downward-trending red line and the headline "MARKETS IN FREE-FALL."

It’s sadly accurate.

I’m starting to realize why STEM was so important. It ignores reading and history. A way to influence critical thinking, decades in the making

Pick your battles

Thank the gods for small blessings

I have been learning screen printing and have turned the painting of a skeleton with a beer hat into a tshirt! Wasn’t expecting it to be this clean on my first try.

Not finished yet but more will be coming soon!
