Tracking the Trump team blame game over the Signal chat leak None of them have expressed any reservations about discussing the sensitive material on Signal.

Trump administration officials who participated in the now infamous leaked Signal chat are scrambling to minimize the political stain on themselves.

Here is how the main characters from the chat are tailoring their responses to the scandal 👇

...Dunque della sua bavosa vergogna l’animale si doveva liberare in continuazione per rimanere puro nell’intimo suo, e a questa nobile pena era premio la metamorfosi dell’immonda deiezione in splendida scaglia iridescente."

..."Dimidiata da un colpo preciso di vanga, la lumaca si contorceva ancora un attimo: poi stava. Tutto il vischioso lucore le rimaneva dietro, perché la scissione presentava una superficie asciutta e compatta che il colore viola-marrone assimilava al taglio di una bresaola in miniatura. ...

Unendo la tensione magica dell'infanzia alla potenza dell'immaginazione, Michele Mari racconta la storia di un'improbabile amicizia, il viaggio periglioso di un ragazzino che parte dalle lande solitarie della letteratura per compiere la sua discesa agli inferi.

The Good Samaritan, after Delacroix (1890) by Vincent van Gogh

In 1923 Adolf Hitler incited an insurrection against the German government.

He was tried, given a slap on the wrist, and became a convicted felon. Despite being treated charitably by the judge, Hitler claimed the trial was political persecution and successfully portrayed himself as a victim of /1

Benissimo!

Toshi @toshiHQ It looks like Elon's genius coders don't know how COBOL works. Social security runs on COBOL, which does not use a date or time type. So the date is stored as a number using the ISO 8601 standard. The epoch for this is 150 years ago (1875) - aka the metre standard. So if you don't know the date of something, it will be a 0 value, which in COBOL will default to 1875 - 150 years ago. Donald Trump Jr. © @DonaldJTrumpJr • Feb 11 OMG!!! It's so bad what's been happening to our country and your money! Breaking: Musk says there's people over 150-years-old collecting Social Security...

Looks like getting all those 1337 high school Python hackers has unintended consequences. Fucking morons.

Musk is not a programmer or an engineer.

Trump says airstrikes on ISIS in Somalia killed terrorists without 'harming civilians' In a Truth Social post Saturday, President Trump announced successful precision airstrikes on the "Senior ISIS Attack Planner," though didn't provide a name for that individual.

Trump campaigned that he would "end all the Democrats' endless wars." Yet 10 days after inauguration Trump bombs Somalia. And he too promises that only terrorists were killed, "no civilians." Just like the Democrats always promised. Hardly ever true.

4/ For those who still listen, for those who still see—remember: freedom is not granted, it is taken. And silence, in times like these, is not neutrality. It is complicity.

"Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici."

3/ But ideas, my dear friends, are bulletproof. And history has shown that fire cannot be contained forever. Books will be read, voices will rise, and no empire of deceit has ever stood the test of time.

2/ Justice is silenced, equity abandoned, history rewritten. The puppeteers tighten their grip, while those who dare to question are cast as heretics, enemies, traitors. The rise of the boot is met with indifference—until it presses against the throat.

"There is something terribly wrong with this world, isn’t there?"

The air grows thick with the stench of lies, woven into the fabric of our daily lives. They tell us what to fear, whom to hate, when to kneel. They dress tyranny in the garments of security, and the masses applaud.

We used to all hold our breath hoping a shooter wasn’t a Muslim or a trans person.

Now we gotta worry if the air traffic controller was Black?!

Do you see how far they have moved the window?

The importance of stupidity in scientific research I recently saw an old friend for the first time in many years. We had been Ph.D. students at the same time, both studying science, although in different areas. She later dropped out of graduate school...

Bye Jim Acosta! Buh bye!

Jim Acosta is leaving CNN.

He will not capitulate to his oligarch bosses.

He will not kiss the Trump ring.

Jim Acosta's closing message is a must-watch.

"Alcuni hanno citato l’autismo, altri una rievocazione storica fatta in buona fede. Sono tutte teorie rispettabili, ma recenti studi hanno dimostrato che questo tipo di saluto più che altro ha a che fare con il fatto di essere delle colossali teste di minchi@". Definitiva davvero!!!

Quella di Geppy Cucciari a Splendida cornice credo sia la battuta definitiva sul saluto rom@no di Elon Musk. "Professore può tracciare un profilo psicologico dei soggetti che eseguono questo tipo di saluto?"

Grazie Elonio, grazie. Quando non c'eri tu non era male.
