BREAKING: Scorpion Bites Frog Immediately and Repeatedly

Delayed air travel is probably the only element of the government shutdown that actually inconvenienced dems in Congress, unsurprising that they folded basically immediately

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.

At this point, I am more excited about The Expanse: Osiris Reborn from Owl Cat than ME5.

Post the good news when you see it…

Inconceivable!

NGL, it is so easy to do some historical lay up jokes on people who don't know shit.

They are not the same.

Amen.

I realize this isn't breaking news but it's insane that voting has begun and Chuck Schumer — leader of the Democratic party — is straight-up refusing to endorse the Democratic nominee for mayor, whose opponent is an alleged serial sexual abuser funded by Trump-allied billionaires

I had a wound tube for my first class.
Seriously wish it was covered by FSA/HSA.

if you're wondering why starfield was boring it's because it was made by people so creatively bankrupt that they can't imagine space being cool and interesting.

Someone who did gardening the pandemic at his parent's place, anyone suggests gardening in place of snap of benefits is unrealistic.

I love blsky often.

This is not a minor issue: it’s a serious threat to democracy. We’re rapidly transitioning into a world where, as long as you support the president, you can be above the law; if you’re in the opposition, you have a target on your back. Opposition can’t survive under these conditions.

Ngl, surprised one of my blocklists I am subbed to didn't block it already.

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

Australia's tropical trees emit more carbon than they absorb: study Climate change is killing trees faster than they can be replaced leading to greater carbon emissions, according to a new study.

Working on climate change is skipping like a stone over sentences like "A new study analysing 49 years of data from 20 sites indicated carbon is being emitted because trees are dying and decaying faster than they can be replaced." every day while people with power do everything to make it worse.

Back up for me.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

The Senate has just passed the military NDAA containing 2 anti-trans provisions: a surgery ban using federal funds (dependents too), and a sports ban on military academy spaces.

This will be the STARTING point for negotiations with the House, which has even worse provisions.

Only 20 Dems opposed.

As you get older, try to keep an open mind for what younger people enjoy, and engage with it how you can. This is easier the more you do. You'll enjoy a wider band of stuff, younger people who need you will find you more approachable, and you won't turn into a "in my day" grump.
