I have to watch the State of the Union because I sinned in a past life and am
being punished by a vengeful God.

Nothing says “world-class healthcare” like paying a fortune for coverage and still being unable to schedule necessary surgery because an insurance verification server crashed.

Thanks, Carefirst BCBS.

Enjoy the higher bill when they have to rebreak my hand to set it.

If you listen to your phone without headphones in an airport or on a plane, you should immediately be added to the do not fly list.

Mod post in r/fishtank stating if you support ICE at all, you are not welcome here.”

This is how you know you’ve picked up a good hobby and decent community along with it.

It’s both. They think the access increases their profitability because they can offer exclusives and sit downs, which the administration will not give to outlets that actively fact check them.

Because at some point in the last 10 years, the press decided “access” was more important than “accuracy”

Guys if you see observers thank them. There’s real stress and burnout in the ranks right now. People understand they are waking up every day to chase and monitor federal thugs who can execute them. But they keep doing it nonstop to protect their neighbors

There is no reigning in the Brownshirts.

Abolish ICE. Prosecute agents and agency heads.

Minneapolis Live Updates: Man Killed by Federal Agents Was Holding a Phone, Not a Gun
Videos analyzed by The New York Times appear to contradict federal accounts of the shooting. The man, an I.C.U. nurse, was an American citizen with no criminal record, the city police chief said.

You all know I’m their biggest critic. Credit to @nytimes.com for reporting the truth and not the criminal regime’s lies this time. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/us...

Snap elections, confidence votes, proportional representation, so many boring electoral mechanisms that I wish we had in this country

Update from Hamed Aleaziz

"John Mitnick, who once was the head attorney at the Department of Homeland Security in the first Trump administration, criticized his former agency on Saturday night. 'I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty,' he wrote" www.nytimes.com/live/2026/us...

ICE didn’t exist until 2003, and even if it had existed, it wouldn’t have prevented 9/11.

We will be better off when we abolish ICE and start prosecuting agents and agency heads.

Thinking:

1x Golden Marble Angel
8x Colombian Blue Tetra
6x Congo Tetra
6x Corydoras Sterbai

All of this is making me want to get back into reef tanking 😮‍💨

Unions are for workers. ICE agents enforce the state. Those two things are not the same.

Calling ICE agents union members is like calling cops labor. It empties the word ‘union’ of all meaning.

I don’t give a fuck what kind of cards they carry. They are not part of the labor movement.

My wife is shaming me for wanting to get another tattoo in Mexico this year. Apparently it “ruined the trip” because I couldn’t get in the water 🙄

I’ll have you know I had plenty of fun getting tattooed tyvm. Sorry you can’t entertain yourself like I can

Obligatory tank update. Excuse the haze—substrate is still settling.

Will update again once it’s cycled and we have our first fish!
