Petulant Skeptic

I can't endure any more political parading of peoples' tragedies. This is abhorrent.

My heart goes out to that young woman. Her parents putting her in this position is heinous and disgusting.

Every parent of a toddler knows this principle. It's incomprehensible that our elected leaders can't figure it out.

This is the pitfall of attending his speech. He will just keep throwing out chum until you respond and now the Republican side of the audience is visibly energized because the Democrats are engaging with his lies and vitriol.

Letting your child be used as a political prop is depraved and shameful

This health care section is so incoherent it's not even possible to fact check

There's no way he can make it through this whole speech without an Airing of the Grievances.

The Republicans are standing up and applauding with all the enthusiasm of all 4 year olds at Catholic mass on Sundays.

Trump’s talk of sending a hospital ship to Greenland puzzles leaders Trump says he’s sending a ship to care for Greenland’s sick. But the territory doesn’t want the help and the U.S. appears to have no hospital ships available to send.

I don't think normies understand how much deploying the Comfort and/or Mercy fuck up the day to day operations of many Military Health System hospitals that are busy treating ADSMs, dependents, and retirees with too few staff already www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

“nothing is real until it hurts me” slogan replaces “don’t tread on me” slogan on a Gadseden flag

how we got here

There was another message a couple years back that I posted about on the Bad Place that was just a masterful combination of ownership, explanation, and empathy about a fraught situation with the schools and power outages or something like that. I quite like all the school administrators we have.

While I'd love not to need to redact the information to make this message attributable, I don't think that's the world we live in. Anyway, kudos to this superintendent. @michaelstahlke.bsky.social you see this?

I continue to be awed by the communications mastery from my kids' school district superintendent every time *something* happens. If this is possible from a small, suburban school district superintendent it is readily available to our national leaders and makes their failures more stark

daendeleon 2d @ Threads Greg Bovino was asked how he felt about his demotion today. "Well, obviously, I'm not happy", he replied. Someone in the crowd shouted back, "So which one are you?"

just choked on my beverage

I bought a shower head like 15 years ago and I've brought it with me through 3 moves because it's so much better than other ones and I don't want to have to find it again to buy, even though it was cheap.

The best news of Bovino's firing is that Tom Homan is going to take over leadership of the operations. I.e., he will be the next one into the wood chipper when they inevitably fuck up too badly.

They're too old to make it through a full shift.

The old order where bullied nerds went on to actual accomplishment, wealth, and power but the most the bullies could aspire to was real estate broker or car salesmen was a much better state of things. We've upended nature and are paying the price.

He’s shooting at the B2. Duh

CIGNETTI SMILE ALERT @sickoscommittee.org

thanos says i am inevitable in a movie ALT: thanos says i am inevitable in a movie

Indiana feels inevitable

@sickoscommittee.org does one of those broadcasts have this?

Where is my CignettiCam broadcast option ESPN? I don’t care what happens on the field I want to experience this game by continually watching Cignetti’s facial expression (singular)

Gonna have to move the annual MyPillow Bowl between Liberty U and the worst team in CUSA

Why are Seattle’s starters still playing? I don’t get it

He stopped saying “game within a game” a dozen times per broadcast which is nice. I don’t think he really adds any insight tho. An LLM not trained specifically in football would spit out equivalent content

Also I deeply appreciate Fox not showing me 3 ads for UFC on Paramount+ every commercial break

I learn neat things about football every time I watch a Romo commentated game. I get dumber every time I listen to a Brady commentated one

Going from Tony Romo (best color guy in NFL broadcasts) to Tom Brady is 🥴

Dude I have no clue what a catch is in the NFL
