Schrödinger's Sneetch Belly

I’m no fan of Washington Post, but it was on their front page, exclusive reporting they broke, which is why this UK paper attributes it to them. American legacy screwing up plenty on its own, no need to exaggerate, much less imagine the rightwing UK press is some shining alternative.

Those are awesome.

okay there we go

* absolutely means

** there are bombs

good grief. i need a cocktail.

I FUCKING HATE THIS SHIT (AND THIS GUY)

The line "bombs planted all over the roads - we call them 'roadside bombs'" absolutely he only just found out today that sometimes there bombs planted in the road.

big if true

Elon boasting that his AI can make imaginary sexualized fourteen year old girls on demand.

Man, the video the White House put out this morning to justify the whole Iran thing and get you to support it is just f**king wild.

Yeah. Makes me glad I'm not British.

Reminded that a big part of Q Anon was the belief that he was still alive & orchestrating with Trump the uncovering & overthrow of the giant (((satanic))) pedophile ring.

My wife's younger sister would go on about the guy incessantly as if he were one of our close friends. What he or Carolyn were wearing, where he went to lunch last week, what he'd supposedly said at some party according to a friend's sister's stylist's client. I found it all deeply unnerving.

This is probably true to a point, but for those too young to remember JFK Jr was the source of obsessive devotion by a huge chunk of middle & upper middle class Americans that regularly spilled into genuine creepiness if not outright stalking behavior.

why yes I am a Jew, thanks for noticing, any ways Platner fans you're standing in a bar with this, is that comfortable?

TRUMP: Okay, thanks for showing up to the interview, uh… Matt Wade?

MULLIN: MARKWAYNE. AS BOTH MARK AND WAYNE ARE NORMAL EARTH NAMES, MARKWAYNE IS DOUBLY NORMAL.

TRUMP: Great. Do you have any experience with illegal aliens?

MULLIN: NO I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ALIENS. I LOVE HUMANS. I LOVE NOSE HOLES.

Love is Blind: Gitmo

Ah, seeing now she's just being moved laterally.

Pouring out a cold one for the DOA Kristi & Corey show.

A Kristi & Corey reality show could really lean into the "will they or won't they" thing, with the "they" being Kristi and the family dog and the "will they or won't they" being will she shoot the dog in the face.

So what's y'all's gut telling you about Noem's next gig: TPUSA exec or CNN host?

CBS's new late night host?

Some reality TV thing where she lives with both her husband and Corey?

Yeah, that was amazing.

Their behavior to me clearly shows they’re not worried about losing an election because they have no intention of leaving.

No, it’s worse.

It’s a war without a political objective.

Plenty of wars have opened without a clear plan to reconcile desired ends with available means, we may be the first country to go to war without even a basic concept of victory.

War for the memes. War for the vibes. War for the Warriors.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

We are a cursed people who deserve everything that's coming.

"Cramer should be eliminated for American supremacy."

- any CIA wetworker who pays attention

“But what about the need to teach students to be literate in AI?” In 33 yrs of journalism & 15 of teaching, I’ve learned that there are any number of lawyers, doctors, politicians, generals, & CEOs—& yes “elite” students—who are only semiliterate in their native tongue. Let’s worry about that.

😬

I get that the instinct is to reach for Trump, but I think Cramer might actually be the best and most perfect example of a microcosm for why everything bad that's happened to this country has happened.
