This is my Chinese cave gecko. It caves less than the Democrats.

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

How a ‘Goon Squad’ of Mississippi deputies got away with years of brutality A “Goon Squad” of Rankin County sheriff’s deputies spent years brutalizing people until their reign of terror was exposed.

For years, a “Goon Squad” of sheriff’s deputies roamed Rankin County, Mississippi, beating and choking people until they confessed to drug crimes.

This week, our friends at @revealnews.org sit down with the reporters from @mississippitoday.org and @nytimes.com, who revealed their reign of terror.

How brush teeth if cat?

Huh well it turns out I heard from a few federal workers about this and well

"We civil servants organized to help our colleagues face the hardship of the shutdown, we put up with the pain and our only request was to not be betrayed like this. Trade our pain, make it count."

Screenshot of a tweet from Joyce Carol Oates posted on Sunday, November 9th that reads "so curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates--scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. in fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. the poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Trying to piece together footage from the last few months in any coherent way just feels like making a trailer for a horror movie starring the feds...and all things considered, that's probably about where we're at.

Reminder: puppies are up for adoption, which you can see in the thread I'm quoting here, but in the meantime some more photos. They play a lot and they sleep a lot.

That last photo I'll explain below in this thread...

every single week they're throwing this guy a special oval office love-in that appears to be the presidential equivalent of letting your dog scarf an entire big mac and fries before that last trip to the vet

the president of the united states, for some reason apparently:

AGAIN MY WHITE FOLKS ?

Gotta make him regret that choice

He should be TERRIFIED

Elon Musk's huge meltdown about how he doesn't read books reminds me of this classic exchange when he argues Iain Banks's anti-capitalist Culture novels would agree with the world's richest man crushing unions at Tesla.

I love this for them

I have to hand it to Democrats. I'm one of the feds working and not getting paid and they manage to make reopening the government feel worse than the alternative.

Like, why did I miss 2.5 paychecks to end up right back where we were before the shutdown started?

Trump is furious that Republicans were defeated in last week's elections.

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump 1 am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over. In other words, take from the BIG, BAD Insurance Companies, give it to the people, and terminate, per Dollar spent, the worst Healthcare anywhere in the World, ObamaCare. Unrelated, we must still terminate the Filibuster! 13 ReTruths 30 Likes 11/8/25, 9:04 AM

The 8 Senate Democratic Caucus members who voted to end the shutdown There are few obvious threads connecting the group who broke the partisan impasse.

Eight Senate Democratic Caucus members broke ranks Sunday and voted to advance a deal to reopen the government.

There are few obvious threads connecting the group who broke the partisan impasse this time.

How Cops Can Get Your Private Online Data Can the cops get your online data? In short, yes. There are a variety of US federal and state laws which give law enforcement powers to obtain information that you provided to online services. But,

Self-hosting is a fun way to cut big tech platforms out of your life, but if the cops come knocking you need to know how to defend the privacy of you and your users. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

It can be hard to do math in your head, while standing up, on national television. Nerve-wracking, too. But even so, in twenty seconds on the air, I did a better job than the President in costing his latest idea and figuring out whether his new idea of a $2,000 rebate check will work. (It won't.)
