I expect trump will have a dog on the desk next to him and will literally start wagging it.
Bored executives who 1) want to be a lot more wealthy 2) offer nothing of value to the consumer or company 3) have no ideas at all about anything and 4) desperately trying not to bonk their admins and need a distraction. All of this behavior can be regulated by a reasonable corp tax rate.
As someone who is not counting on Democrats in DC to save us in any way, I think we still need to be accurate about what they've been doing to bring the fight to MAGA. And this is a good list of what we may be missing.
Teenjus H Yikes!
It’s a roundabout way of saying “even if Rudy was drinking he had sobered up a bunch before getting rear ended while driving waaaay to slow”.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang holds up well.
The Who Before? Never heard of them *heads to bandcamp*
Which side are you on, boys?
No more districts
This is the way
President Vance has scheduled an emergency session of the cabinet.
Why hasn’t President Vance addressed the nation yet?
Thread 🧵
it would be nice if, in this limited respect, power-political necessity and republican virtues align. Because the rules are shredded, the norms are gone, and our institutions are subverted. We are in a power-political struggle between fascist authoritarianism and pluralist democracy. Period. /end
In Austin it took an enormous volunteer effort. I don’t know about other places but I’d be surprised if it was paid staff at scale.
The doneconomy says this is a sign of great things to come!!
In the future everyone will have 15 million in dark money.
I’d say that today juries are supposed to be the small ignorant audience. The lawyers perform their deceits and convolutions to the small audience in hopes of confusing them or convincing them. Law and facts are just tools of manipulation.
Trump will turn his “you’re fired” sign on the American people.
Which kind of how memories persist anyway. Rewriting old memories when we remember them.
Just can’t handle Mark Cuban anymore. What a loon.
I guess he means Stalin and Truman???
I’m starting to think of the singularity as the moment when humanity is too stupid to understand what their grandparents understood.
Well Alice and Bob have a knapsack …
Oh come on it’s just an artifact of silicon having so many electrons they can knocked off with just a little jiggle. ⚛️
Or may it’s more appropriately “cardinal”
You’re clearly (and I’m being sincere) more knowledgeable than I am on this so I’m very deferential. I remember when Mad included classic inserts from the old days and they were wild. Weird memories of the tone and style.
Exit through the grift shop
In no small part because of Mad Comics! It was gruesome before it got funny.
Alaska is also a drinking state with a fishing problem

Numbers are bonkers. Total bonkers!
Last book you read: American Road Trips by @sarahkendzior.bsky.social Book before that: @jesspish.bsky.social on the insane sheriff posses across the country. I can’t recall the name of at the moment.
Other countries are important too
I’m really not understanding this - did the builder get tax breaks for buyers? Are the breaks infinite? Transferable? As someone who pays an order of magnitude more property tax as well as a multiplier or two I’m seething at the unfairness.
Each quadrant has a different surgeon. I remember seeing this guy on TV when pro wrestling was a side show on the cheap NYC channels. He was a dweeb and a runt compared to the wrestlers and his interviews were hilarious, and over the top. The wrestlers would also get more and more amped up.
I believe in this context a cease fire implies “we will not shoot you as you retreat”. We being Ukraine and retreat being Russia getting out of the country.
This week I dug deep into the Paradox of Tolerance. We might hope still to build a new house to replace the one abusive bullies are burning down, after centuries of decades of being enabled in the name of civility. If we do, the new house will need new locks. www.the-reframe.com/change-the-l...
Whenever I see it I think it’s some NASCAR emblem or something thing. That it’s a state flag is literally the last thing I ever think.
FIFA is after money money money and that’s a language trump understands.
All of the decorum was Putin centered implying that he didn’t see Alaska as US ground or even neutral ground. Not even contested land but something more like a book loaned for a little too long but not so long as to make a fuss. Yet. Trump may get his “medal” but it will be given to him by Putin.
Trump is fully under Putin’s control on this. Putin is subtle and diplomatic, and knows how to stroke trump’s ego. Trump has nothing in return except perhaps a medal. Trump can’t detect manipulation and Putin is the master manipulator. Putin also signaled his desire for Alaska to be Russian. 3/4
The deal trump thinks he delivering to EU and Ukraine is nothing more than having new borders drawn and recognized. Peace is victory for Putin and Putin’s compromise is the existence of any Ukraine (as signaled in his rhetorical shift that recognizes it as a “brother nation”). 2/3
This is the language of land grabbing. Putin is unmoved by the number Russians he kills and is signaling he will continue to conscript men to die. Putin is also signaling that he has the weapons manufacturing capacity to continue at this pace of war and doesn’t need a pause for resupply. 1/2
Is puffy face a sign of testosterone overdose?
Trump does his pull-in handshake thing but Putin seems to preempt it by moving quicker. Trump probably think he established dominance with that maneuver 🤣😆
This couldn’t be worse for democrats
It’ll be a massive carving into spheres of influence and laissez faire human rights. It’ll be the end of the UN and ICC and any semblance of international order.
It’s strange that they would!
There’s either bloodshed ahead or states protect us from fed thugs.

Which amendment now?
It truly is laughable but we are seeing the birth of the police state.
Capital One staff are calling on the company to divest from Elbit Systems & any other firms arming Israel. "We, the Capital One associates undersigned to this open letter, refuse to be complicit in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza." They also cite some of Aaron Bushnell's final words.
Humanitarian unlawful imprisonment? Acceptable concentration camps? Death With Dignity Torture Facilities?
Winning whining it’s all the same to Dear Feeble One
What are the publically available non-federal sources of economic data? Who is aggregating state and corporate numbers? State governments must fill the void with accurate and useful jobs, growth and other economic indicators.
Whooooooooooaaaaaaaaaa
The buffoon in chief misses TV so much.
April fools!
Money has no meaning anymore.
Oh so like concentration of wealth is the goal again?
Media giants like Rush Limbaugh and Father Coughlin stumbled on this effect and infected millions into twisted culture. Plenty of others emulate their vitriol creating a culture of violence. This leads us into the paradox of tolerance. How do the compassionate survive?
The first group may be the natural state or the original state of mind and humanity. Yet through foul twists the latter propagates itself using hate and fear to supplant our basic instincts of empathy, love and compassion. Fear leads to hate and hate leads to violence.
It always seems like there’s both of these groups existing in overlapping culture and geography. The latter continuously seeking to overrun the former. The latter being themselves the cruel (inherent or otherwise) that cannot control their own dark impulses.
Have you done carnitine?
How did a significant faction in US politics turn Soviet?
It’s now up to @govgavinnewsom.bsky.social and @governor.ny.gov to do what they said they’d do. They should listen to @betoorourke.bsky.social and redistrict immediately.
Slightly diminish a band: The Rolling Stone
the internet was supposed to make us freer
Are we in a state of de facto consolidation? Are there actual LEOs pushing back? Has the military split? Seems like is “consolidated” as long as the men with guns obey in advance.
"say this grima wormtongue chatbot is really compelling"
Biden’s fault
“Yet”
Cloud Atlas was fantastic. Great storytelling!
Putin has declared that he will protect Russian speaking people wherever they live.
Trumpism is the new Stalinism

"So many people have written me to ask how they can keep ICE out of their town and help protect their neighbors, that I want to focus on that today."
Cuomo is so old he’s still excited about a canal
Not interested in methane. It’s a ridiculous proposal. To understand salmon, rivers and dam removal read about the Klamath River. Excellent case study. Every river should be restored to free flow.
Hydro has a tremendous cost to ecosystems. They should all be removed and replaced by solar and wind.
Now extend the same level of protection to every resident of Illinois regardless of gender identity.

“The cashier just stopped and ran, eyes wide. I turned my head and a geyser of dark fluid was erupting from aisle 3.” “I tried to pull him out of the aisle but the floor was too slippery.” “I never will eat a plum again.”
“It was horrible, I thought it was a little over ripe but I wanted it anyway. I picked it up and then whole tower began to tremble and I ran.” “I was putting my broccoli in my cart when I heard the loudest squishing sound I had ever heard, striking fear deep in my heart.”
Tomorrow: Prune juice inundates local store as shoppers flee in terror.
Seems to me that the absolute fastest way to end the war is for Putin to stop shooting and retreat. Simple! Trivial even.
