Got a very silly pic last night, and decided it had to be new avatar. No, I don't normally wear furry ears and Elton John shades, but the cig is pretty normal.

Of course they are capable of winning a war of attrition, but it's the "not giving them more right now" part that is the most effective. When their fortunes don't grow (regardless of how large to start) makes them the angriest (and most vulnerable to other influence).

Maybe Don’t Talk to the New York Times About Zohran Mamdani It’s remarkable, the people you’ll hear from. Teach for even a little while at an expensive institution—the term they tend to prefer is “elite”—and odds are that eventually someone who was a studen…

A fantastic essay. Done with humor, felt pain, and nuance you won't find in the author's subject (NYT). lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

WTF?!?

Profile in courage, that one.

I completely understand the urge to not provoke the gestapo in this current environment, but "just take the physical assault" is also not acceptable. It HAS to be accompanied by reasonable leaders actually doing something to change it.

I'm a dev, but not on my home system atm. Will need to check the request/response when I get back to a place with tools. I'll update you when I see what request or script is triggering this.

Wtf is this site doing?

Why do the 404 links open this crap? I'm certainly not clicking on this, but WTH is it even trying to load? Will have to check this on desktop when home.

How much more of a "kitchen table" issue can you get than Trump stealing the food off of it?

Fill with oil and vinegar, combine this with a Salad Shooter™, and be the kitchen Rambo.

My partner mentioned this morning that they're apparently on Pandora as well.

As a lifelong Cubs fan, this one is easy. How on earth do they rake in 584M, but only fork out 213M on roster?!? Absolutely absurd how we let good players go because someone "outbids" us. How is that even possible given these numbers?

Its absolutely amazing just how incompetent this admin. is from top to bottom.

When you find yourself agreeing with the worst people...

I only just heard about the Louvre break in, and I'm friggin hooked.

While people are not receiving paychecks, this disgusting little freak was pardoned by POTUS.

This is all so far beyond idiotic. This will only end badly.

Both good. Hot toddy is a better fall camping drink, but hot buttered rum is a better fall/winter bar drink. Let us also not forget the less made mulled wine, or the more common Irish/Spanish coffee drinks. Lots of good hot options.

So, holier than thou Mike is totes cool with shooting priests in the head from a rooftop. Interesting take there, Mikey.

He was so sick of Denny's shit in Boston Legal. lol.

Oh, give me a break. The whole ass point of SCOTUS is to "decided things." All this means is that once a dem is in office they will reconsider the whole "Trump is a very special boy" immunity bullshit.

I certainly hope these individuals are held in contempt.

Translation: don't ever trust lying Republicans because they won't do what they've agreed to anyway.

And if Thomas and Alito retire in the next three years, it'll only get worse. Next dem nominee absolutely has to include court reform into their platform. This is disastrous otherwise.

Holy, fuck. This shit is so out of hand. I don't know when the public is going to reach the breaking point, but the more videos like this I see the more I worry that it's sooner than later.

This shit has to stop NOW.

C'mon, Seattle. Do better.

hahahahahahaha! I'd tell them to go try their luck at the library.

Is there a good statistic on how many lawsuits have been brought against this admin vs. previous admins? I feel like there is a deluge (rightfully so) against the current admin that we don't normally see. Just wanting to quantify that against previous iterations.
