you know things are going well when they break out the turnip photos

Oh no way, I wonder what he’ll “discover.”

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle “Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.

WTF Chuck. @schumer.senate.gov

Chris please talk some sense into him @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

It occurs to me that the felon thinking of annexing Canada & Greenland is to split European military forces to force them to defend both Ukraine and North America. So, it’s likely being driven by Putin.

@derekberes.bsky.social It occurred to me today that there are people bent on intentionally crashing the global economy on purpose & bring about the “great reset” the Qanon types want & why you have totally unqualified people hawking gold.

RJ probably wouldn’t do it. Too much at risk for what he’s building.

Has anyone pointed out the whole “external hard drive” thing is a 3rd party cybersecurity risk? (In addition to everything else going on)?

@brainking.bsky.social maybe @thedailyshow.com should have a “dueling whiteboards” competition between RJ Scaringe (Rivian. BS RPI PhD MIT. Aka the real deal) with a panel of professors as the referees & see who comes out on top.

Get used to the word “Trumpcession.”

And care for your savings accordingly.

French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Lack of coordination between the lighting plan, the furniture & the power design irks me… so often the lights end up right over the cubbies & useless.

It’s really hard to watch someone on my social feed who’s given herself a DIY lobotomy with kitchen tools or knitting needles… but that seems to be what “The “alpha” Men™️ want in Republican women. 1/

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Next Tuesday, we won’t waste a second in responding to Trump’s steam of lies at the State of the Union.

I’m not attending in person. Instead I’m partnering w @moveon.org to provide live real time response. Join us to learn the truth about the billionaire seizure of our government.

That "interview" with Elon Musk being incoherent and wearing sunglasses indoors reminds me of the time John Mulaney was on Seth Meyer's show doing the exact same thing before he went into rehab.

Wait, what?

MASH and In The Heat of the Night also covered the so-called-“woke” issues as well.

Is Donald Trump going to respond to Musk’s email and report on what he did last week?

To help, I’ve gone ahead and done it for him. A thread:

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

If you want to get a sense of the mood out there, apparently this song from last century is going viral

(Yes, the same band that famously did "Tubthumper")

I’m very proud of my CT legislators Murphy, DeLauro and even Blumenthal. And our AG Tong. Don’t count us out just cuz we are small. We’re Nutmeggers!

(He’s starting to _look_ like a cult leader with those glasses)

Former Vice President Mike Pence denounced Donald Trump over his biggest, most flagrant lie of late — the infuriating claim that Ukraine started the war with Russia.

Pence reappeared to slam Trump’s Putin-inspired lie. Posting the indisputable truth on X, Pence emphasized his…

The reason there are a lot of court orders telling Trump he can't do things is because he's been doing a crazy huge amount of illegal shit in his first three weeks in office.

This isn't rocket science. It's basic physics - action and reaction.

Trump claimed that DOGE has uncovered billions in “fraud, waste, and abuse.” However, no evidence has been provided, and all public fraud claims from both Elon Musk and Trump have been debunked as false.

No one gave Elon Musk a “mandate” of any fucking kind.

None of you voted for him to do any of the shit he’s doing and you damn well know it too.

So knock it the fuck off.

Thanks for this. First time I’ve heard this observation 🏆
