It’s is absolutely about something else. Rs want to continue the shutdown, as much as it hurts them politically, because opening will lead to a vote on the Epstein files and that will be SO MUCH WORSE for them. Tee-hee!!!

Not like he'd actually say this, but I have this fantasy of him saying something like: "Remember when I made sure you knew how to pronounce my name? Well, now it's pronounced "MANDATE"

The only thing that has me still following results is whether he can maintain that.

And... he just did :)

Probably a foregone conclusion heading into today, but GIGANTICALLY important nonetheless. In terms of future election integrity and, well [gestures broadly]

Yep! I know. But thank you for saying that.

That could factor in for sure, for many. But as a guy who tears up and cries from ANY strong emotion, including anger, sometimes it’s just genetic. (My dad and all of my siblings tear up at EVERYTHING, including happiness.)

Right on

Gah, autocorrect. “Republican voters” ignore the reference to ‘bloc’

They are so focused on cutting “Democrat” programs that they don’t even seem to think about how much it’s going to hurt republican blocs n voters and (depending on how deep in the cult they are) make them realize how much they need those programs 🤦‍♂️

Awesome games on the C64

It’s weird, I saw this EXACT sign, down to the handwriting and the sloppy correction, in Pittsburgh. And this one shows ocean in the background

It’s-a me!

I generally can’t stand musical theatre but the ones I love, I love:
The Music Man and Sound of Music. The difference between these and most musicals (imo) is that every song of each are absolute bangers.

A sperm whale and a bowl of petunias pop into existence a mile above earth. Ford Prefect turns into a penguin. A Qatari air force base appears in Idaho.

Same, friend, same.

“the structure of conspiratorial mania is the same across contexts” is an interesting way to frame “they’re just spewing the same lazy dog whistle terms across everything”

What does it mean to freeze your credit report? What is that and how do I do it?

Yeah and they’re the kind of Dunning-Kruger dumbshits that think this sort of toddler-level evasion is clever

I’ve had the same thought, about her, DJT and the predators that have hurt people I love

I’m learning in these comments what it left out, but still so, so informative. I had no idea Louis Armstrong was so important for so much of the history of the art form.

I had previously just tuned in to my favorite era (60s), but the entire thing must be seen

It made me appreciate good country music! And I love how at the end, he sort of let Garth Brooks reveal his own dopiness instead of directly calling him out.

😩

36 as well

It's actually so much cheaper for disaster response and aid to be at the federal level and not the state level. Federal support can exist once and go where it's needed. If it's at the state level, you basically have to pay the same costs 50 times, so each state can have their own. It's insane.

Can’t be expelled… because the stances they take are extremely popular?

How naive we were back in 2003. Anyone who was paying attention knew the wmd intelligence was fabricated, but they went through such an elaborate song and dance to push it through (remember Powell’s speech at the UN? Judith Miller at the NYT?). Turns out you can just do whatever you want, who knew

I only know what it is because that’s how people have described it. I see a line and some bubbles and some text above it. Is it a count of instances of certain words? What do the bubbles represent? What do the colors represent?

Apologies, but can someone tell my some specifics of what I'm looking at here? (I get the high-level that it's some sort of graph of the disinfo campaign on Saturday about the MN assassin)
