7 with one blow.
Huh. Sucks to suck.
Well it was fun while it lasted but we're either invading Venezuela or ending democracy now.
TBF, I also confuse infants with screeching hungry rodents sometimes.
It's like people who put their picture on their gravestones.
The smallest circle they could muster would be a 9-person SS detail, Susan Wiles, Walt Nauta, Stephen Miller and maybe a couple more. What we'll start hearing of this is real is people like Laura Loomer whining that she can't get access.
Ah. That would likely be the third member of his detail or Walt Nauta his body man
No. Not a word since Tuesday. Longest he's ever gone. Want in team stroke before but it's starting to convince me
This is a big fucking loss
That's the other ss agent isn't it?
He lays it at the feet of hippies while defending Arete as a standard for moral goodness, allowing himself to totally elide the roles of both racism and evangelical redemptionism in creating these monsters.
About 70M Americans.
The message is clear. We need to say it equally as clearly: *Nobody* is safe. They will come for you, too, no matter who you are. Niemoller wrote the poem because he *didn't* say anything. Don't fuck up the same way he did.
MacIntyre never confronted the fact that Arete never stopped anyone from beating their children or enslaving others and Brooks is going a long way out of his way here to place the blame on hippies here for what is clearly the result of Wealth Gospel shenanigans.
Looks like the plaster came off his hand. Lots of purpura.
I totally thought this was Jared from Subway on work release.
Reading this and then looking at Louden County's voting record and wondering how so many people with so much money and free time can be so weird and afraid.
White House expert, here. Presidential residences only do this when under extreme distress....
The unifying theory of the far right worldwide is that they're to a person, the last people to leave parties. They're the barnacles on your sofa, eating stale chips and telling weirdly revealing stories about themselves while the hosts are brushing their teeth.
Once again calling for the MLBPA to designate this day as Curt Flood Day. And a shout-out to all unions, including my local CUPE. Workers unite.
Not unrelated, how come nobody has commented on Stephen Milller's medical transformation from 98lb weakling to tiny-testicled Charles Atlas?
Medicine, for MAHA, serves only one purpose: to enhance the experience and aesthetics of people who are already genetically "fit" and who make "good" choices. Cure cancer? It's your own damn fault for getting it. 'Roid up? Kill it, King!
Secret Service. It's very telling that the only people in the room with the pres is a single invited guest, a cameraperson, and two secret service agents.

Nothing has convinced me that he's not on regular oxygen and gets out of breath when walking short distances without his canula.
53 and 26 years in the classroom. More than half my life as a teacher, most of it at the same school. Very weird.
The lack of a profit motive atm means that there's no institutional interest in goosing engagement artificially through an algorithm or bot-posts. This is like an organic apple -- somewhat smaller but supposedly better for the world.
#betareader #writingcommunity #scifi
Huh yeah. You're right. Oh well.
Secret Service.
Those kids in the Nirvana shirts would be the 80s equivalent of Beatles shirts, but the kids I see wearing the Stones shirts would be like an 80s kid wearing Benny Goodman Orchestra gear.
Strange how drug data like this is publicly available for anyone who wants to bother to look... The TrumpGPT that's making these posts isn't very good.
Ha! Joe was an old family friend of my grandparents and it's fantastic to see him referenced here!
Washington's speculation about Trump's health is at a fever pitch. We've seen multiple reasons this summer to ask questions — and the media doesn't seem to care. What's really going on? www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...
Hey folks, I need eyes on a just-completed manuscript draft and I'm willing to pay for the right beta-reader. If you're a sci-fi fan w/experience giving targeted feedback, a willingness to deal with a first draft, and a desire for a little cash, DM me. Here's a link with the pitch & sample.
LAPD has shot 30 people this year, and last year at this time we were at 19, according to Chief McDonnell. One of his explanations to commission last week was “an uptick on the willingness of criminals within the community to assault officers head on.” Let’s break this down using internal docs:

Neither is impossible, but both are preventable.
Me too.
I say this with the requisite microblog snark, but in all earnestness, the federal govt has done a pretty good job preventing shit like this up until now and with this rancid refocus, chances are the long peace is coming to an end sooner rather than later.
As you said, it's all about the explosives. Good thing the ATF is laser focused on deporting landscapers in Whittier.
If you live and work in Silver Spring, you should remember that it's also fun to deny service in your restaurant or store to this asshole.
He QAnon, I found your government child sex traffickers! The judges stopped them before you could, tho.
The lies. I'm laying down.
Joe Biden is out buying ice cream while everyone is asking whether Trump is dead.
For me I use Danny McBride's Jesse Gemstone voice.
Shoulda hired immigrants...
Alligator Manzanar will be a perfect place to hold federal thugs while they await trial for doing awful illegal shit like this.
Mine too.
Part of the reason I keep posting about it is because it's the best narrative for the moment regardless of there being any actual evidence for it beyond... Well, Trump himself. That said, it really does look like someone's holding onto his arm as he walks here.
This is a frightening article but upon reflection, the use of drones by Nazi terrorists to attack American targets probably was a foregone conclusion with the success of Ukraine's strategy. The lightweight explosives are more the issue. Good thing ATF is Lazer focused on arresting landscapers.
Trump saving up to buy back the counter-reformation and get himself some indulgences.
It's not about what's obviously true, it's about the stupid and totally foreseeable media rationale for unequal treatment that favors Trump and Republicans.

This isn't just a clever post, it is also the actual facts stated ahead of the moment
Heart failure leads to shortness of breath. Just sayin'. When my FiL was dying, he could walk a short distance without his O2 canula, but he looked like that.
Damnit
Golf is Trump's swim in the Yalu
Welp...
Seems to have been Lincoln Heights proving they exist again.
This is honestly funny and for all the right reasons.
The mild Susan Wiles post and the slightly better Tariffs post this afternoon weren't even close to putting out the fires of speculation.
Tomorrow when Trump shows up on the golf course wearing a stupid hat and looking like he sucked on a pig shit milkshake, I'm going to be fucking devastated.

The album reflects this joy so clearly.
I've determined based on a thorough examination of my own presuppositions that our president underwent balloon angioplasty yesterday and is having mild complications.
Has Trump commented on this yet?
Also, this is singly the *worst* way to deal with a gun on campus available. 100% stupid. Guns in a backpack. Isolate the kid. Get a trusted adult to engage. Separate kid from backpack. Done.
I've taught high school in Watts for 15 years, Westlake for 2, and Pomona for 10. In all of those schools, we have found exactly 3 guns, none loaded, in student searches. Gun laws make a difference.
In all seriousness, it's Friday night and he's not even traveling to bedminster. I can't think of the last time he stayed in the White House over a weekend. Something's up.
Live look in the East Wing
Gonna be a long weekend on Truth Social.
Stephen recognizes expertise as he is the world's foremost expert on pleasing women.
It is required watching for coming events to be sure
Lawless government sucks ass
TBH, I would watch a movie where Alec Guinness' Obi Won Kenobi succumbs to temptation and marries his favorite prostitute while letting the Empire take total power.
This is good, but I think it misses some stuff. Here's my take on this written six months ago: medium.com/@ajaxsinger/...
I write fiction and the big ah-ha moment from this administration is that I've been working too hard on making my antagonists believable.
The guy is a Polish CEO which just goes to show you that ending rich people is an issue of international importance.
I think it's cute that Charlie Kirk doesn't know the difference between fertility and fecundity.
Not directly related but I assume the reason RFK Jr is so dedicated to denim jeans is that somebody told him denim offers the ideal environment for maintaining testicular virility and fertility as a joke.
Crybullying sucks. It's the worst combination of dishonesty, gaslighting, and zero-sum self-seeking and having it deployed on a thermonuclear scale by an entire political apparatus is killing us all.
IA is a red state with Trump-controlled boards of elections all the way down and Ernst is choosing not to risk a loss. Stealing elections in a fully federated system like ours is actually immensely difficult.
The Guardian at least makes it pretty clear in the article that the inmates got mass beatings because one captive was shouting in grief over the death of a relative.
The mass beating by guards began after an inmate was shouting because one of their relatives had died. Shouting.
Univision is still pretty Trumpy.
I'm not a big fan of thoughtcrime, but next time someone casually hints that they're pro eugenics, I think we should remove them from the gene-pool before they get power.
Man I saw this in Spanish-language media this morning and looked for it everywhere in English but no. Glad the Guardian got to it but it's a testament to our fuckedness that no EL American outlet save the socialists have touched it. bsky.app/profile/ajax...
Other thing is that big guys like Fetterman rarely have to learn how to fight.
Yeah, I think you're probably right.
If you have any choice about who to be online, don't choose to be this guy.
Warnock.
I bet he's slow as fuck tho.
This is why I follow you, Jessica. Pedant away.
I might've argued with this on the grounds that local forces might stand against tyranny before recent events, but...
What?! Oh that's much better. I thought it was just AK, HI, and CT that didn't have them.
We have 47 states with Sheriff as a constitutional office and I don't think we should rest until we've amended them out of existence.
A valid reason to end relations with MAGA friends and family: Someone who chooses the regime over your rights and safety once will do it again as the regime consolidates. Those tip-lines they're setting up are meant to be used.
Trump a poem: "They've got roads that you wouldn't believe. two roads and they... you look down them and one it's a big beautiful road, a perfect road, and the other nobody goes there. The people are nasty. nasty people. grass. They're animals. The people on that road are different."
