When someone tells me how old their child is I say "that's such a fun age" even if it's 37

There’s one Trump flag in my neighborhood, and every day I check if it’s still there. Today it was, but one day it will be gone

Tom Clancy: In my book I invented invading Iraq to steal the oil as a cautionary tale

Donald Trump: At long last, we have created invading Iraq to steal the oil from the classic techno thriller RED STORM RISING.

Oprah doesn't get enough shit for who she brought into the spotlight. As bad as Joe Rogan.

DECADES of supposedly pre-gaming what's happening right now, but it was never real. I'd call it cosplay, if that weren't so insulting to actual cosplayers; actual cosplayers don't claim to REALLY be Sailor Moon.

this is the same democrat who said ICE should be "held to the same standards as local police departments" while pretending local cops aren't getting military equipment from 1033 and training from dave "killology" grossman

abolish ICE. you cannot reform this shit. they didn't sign up for "training".

I would build on this by saying that one of the reasons the service economy grew is that as bad as it is sometimes to deal with customers, it was way way way better than working in a factory.

I am the descendant of a ton of people who said "farming sucks, actually, I would rather be doing literally anything else"

𝙺𝚒𝚖𝚋𝚊𝚕 𝙼𝚞𝚜𝚔 🤠 @kimbal This post is related to the Epstein Files and why my name is in them. In 2012 I started dating a woman who was 30 years old. I met her through a friend. Epstein did not introduce us. My only meeting with that demon was in his New York office during the day. I never met with him again and I never went to his island. The reason he has so many emails from me is because he was subscribed to a newsletter I sent out to thousands of people every few weeks. My heart goes out to the many victims of Jeffrey Epstein, as it does for all who have suffered any kind of sexual abuse or harassment. Kimbal

This post used to have a Community Note on it describing the dozens of emails between the two, including Kimbal Musk thanking Epstein for introducing him to a woman and a line from Epstein's bestie Boris Nikolic asking him to "not hurt Jeffrey's girl," but it's gone now.

Vermont US Representative Becca Balint being interviewed by Drop Site News shortly after reviewing more, unreleased Epstein files saying
"They're all a bunch of sick fucks"

One of the most miserable things about living in this era is having to watch the stupidest & most arrogant people in the world have to relearn The Why of literally everything good that we collectively do the hard way.

The answer is always ‘Because a bunch of people died, fuckwit.’

Democrats really should start using that "Epstein class" line

I was thinking how when Scott Adams was about to go and rightwingers were saying “you have no idea what impact it’s going to have when Scott Adams dies, he was loved by millions” and then he just died and nothing happened. These ghouls just disappear when they stop talking

"There is no question that the number of police killings of civilians in the U.S. – who are disproportionately Black and other people of color – are the result of policies and practices that enable and even encourage police violence. ... American police kill civilians at incredibly high rates."

Bro was happy to do armed takeovers when, post Ruby Ridge/Waco, he could be reasonably sure the government cared enough about optics to avoid escalation/matching his energy.

But with ICE shooting ppl in the street w/impunity? Fancy that, there he sits in his compound with his thumb up his ass.

You come from a country that fought monarchism, slavery, fascism, and communism, even when the cost was high.

But now, with the global system that your country authored, it's all of a sudden too tall a task, and we should all surrender? What would Washington say? Lincoln? Roosevelt? Kennedy?

Elon would rather go to Mars or the Moon than accept that he has the resources to actually make Earth a better place for everyone to live.

I know we're all mad about ICE/DHS but we also need to be mad about RFK Jr.

He's killing -- and is setting the stage to kill -- waaaaay more people than DHS does, it's just that it happens quietly and in people's homes. Vaccine recommendations matter. Lying under oath matters.

IMPEACH RFK JR

not that this matters but trump, supported by rfk jr, now appears on track to irrevocably destroy the last bit of john f. kennedy's political legacy and the dream of the new frontier.

this guy is 23 and will crash out by the time he’s 27 btw

New York Times headline: Libertarians: We Told You So With an image of a big black boot stomping a snake

this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart

1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks

2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

neo-royalist foreign policy (the king has gone insane like a game of Crusader Kings III)

don't carry maga's water for them. don't try to work out how there's some secret loophole in the constitution that magically ends democracy. there isn't. that's the whole fucking point you fucking dopes

I agree with Professor Blackman, this is outrageous behavior on the part of @nytimes.com, and I unreservedly condemn it: There is no excuse for ever citing a law professor, under any circumstances.

Concept: A fantasy setting wherein sworn oaths are magically vetted or enforced and how that changes the character of governance, business and trade deals, diplomacy, treaties, and so forth.

Something I've seen played with a bit (in settings like Blue Rose and Exalted) but not overly much.

These are concentration camps. Gulags. In America. We sure are great again, huh?
