I recommend they apply the GFY process to the study. First review the data and method along with a parallel group of qualified scientists…nah. Kidding. GO FUCK YOURSELF.
Also a slight northeast breeze has delayed the power. And a distant droning sound. And a cicada in the sunroom. And reports of a rabid raccoon in the next county. A lean brown dog I don’t recognize on the sidewalk unleashed has delayed the power. A grilled cheese and a cup of soup. A stifled burp.
A critical element: These victims were not snatched off the street by masked thugs. They were conned and seduced into this when they were too young to understand what it meant. Many will carry a sense of guilt and failure in addition to other traumas. It is comprehensively cruel.
Don’t you keep up with the news? They were innocented by Trump’s pardon. When Trump was re-elected all of his claims about 2020 were validated.
Probably but it’s 50/50 that he just has a bad brain.
We can now blame DJT for every crime that occurs in the district.
Or freshmen. Same thing, really.
Time to rewatch ‘The Death of Stalin.’
First he will say, “I did the vaccine.”
It may be presented as punishment but it is not, collective or otherwise. Government cannot punish without due process. If we have any laws natural or moral or political, this—all of it—breaks them. Even if we found an Oct 7 perpetrator, we could not prosecute, only extradite.
The US has adopted a general policy of malicious cruelty that is proudly lawless and happily ignorant. It accomplishes nothing, which is a point of pride. All of the usual responses, though legal, moral, and correct, give it more energy. It cannot be sustained but, for now, it is discouraging.
‘both sides’ is bad journalistic practice. Objectivity is the standard. Only knowledgeable people can report on complex issues. They will have opinions; it is inevitable. But you defy biases and judge sources by authority. Do not privilege dubious sources by reporying them with authoritative ones.
They don’t care because they will all be shorting the fall and getting richer. Already proved they can commit sedition at the Capitol, get people killed, batter cops with clubs, and trash Congressional offices on live TV and still get elected. Why bother actually governing.
BlueSky people are plenty nice. BTW, the second one should be ‘whom’ (object of the preposition)
Rumor: Trump has ordered reenactments of especially poignant ICE grabs to be performed at his bedside while he recovers towards death.
Your sci fi comes with a certain amount of handwaving. Blood chemistry is just one of the things that are not realistic about Spock. His hybrid parentage, for example, indicates a common ancestor or a papal dispensation.
And/or relegalize discrimination and encourage retribution any expectation of fairness.
Wanted: Cabinet secretaries/ agency heads. Must detest career workers and fail to understand the mission. No previous experience in the field is permitted. All decisions subject to second-guessing by sclerotic despot with tiny fingers. Impulsivity a plus. Psychotic spokesperson will be provided.
My friend’s pair of BoCos used to slip out into our suburban neighborhood (80’s) and half an hours later there would be eight or ten kids playing in their front yard with no notion of why they had come there. They HAD NO KIDS.
He’s in the running for the first Nobel for Dilckheadry
I will be doubling that.
Love BO but this is weak sauce. Trump’s outlook is narrow and personal and his wingmen do not give a shit for moderation or logic. BO is going for oracular aloofness when we need him under Trump’s suety skin laying sick burns. MAGA is all about nagging distraction; BO is the guy to counterattack.
Trump is having the FTC declare that ‘booing, catcalls, heckling, and shouts of “assholes resign” are signs of heartfelt approbation.’ So town halls can resume.
Over 1.2 million excess deaths and good to excellent data on how many of those had been vaccinated. It is incontrovertible so we can expect it to be blithely controverted any day now, without evidence, by people who are supposed to do evidence as a professional credential. It’s gonna suck!
Yes I believe in full disclosure of medical information crucial to government decision making.
...they made up for hesitating once by killing Claudius twice. So the dems retook the senate and impeached Alito's ass, and then they shitcanned RFK and regulated greenhouse gas, went back to teaching history and taxing up the wealthy, 'cause treating people equal keeps the Constitution healthy.
Occasional watcher of the good stuff here. The number of goals I see that hit the inside of the goal posts is astonishing.
I quit reading after 'anyway.' I don't want to read a bunch of that 'regardless' or 'whatever' talk.
Trump will take the catastrophic news these conditions generate, reverse it, and claim a triumph. The media will cover it as a series of independent distortions or misrepresentations and be ignored. A new bunch of regular folks will lose their asses; oligarchs will short the market on death itself.
It's cool how even simple and inexpensive civic art conveys serious ideas effectively and clearly.
When your government operates happily and comfortably on bad information, bigotry, and fraud and aims only for profit and retention of power, competence takes a very different form. Do not assume that their incompetence will help you regain power or undo damage. Your friends in the USA
The good citizen's duty is to be correct. It takes persistence and requires frequent re-examination of all conclusions in light of new information. Many Americans are steadfastly wrong even when their sources are exposed as frauds and profiteers. Point this out and they get violently offended.
A professional dry-line field marker is about $200. They make nice straight, even lines. You can get chalk in all the colors, including spray chalk. Just saying.
I am rooting for the tide
So dumb.
If it were called Department of War he’d want to rename it some other thing.
KK does not do powdered sugar so that mist was probably anthrax spores spread by commie agents provocateurs
It’s an education to just wander around and look on their works and despair. A reasonably thoughtful kid could achieve a better education just by studying the DeSantis Mode and staying the hell out of Florida public school.
They make this argument for their base. The base is not open to persuasion. The response should be a single sentence:’this is just more bigotry’. Anybody wants to engage, fine. Argue it. Otherwise it’s just more chaff upon which we obediently waste time and energy.
Mass shooter categories with anything resembling legitimate grievances with American society: NOT the vast majority of white Republican men who perpetrate these crimes. They act on bullshit resentments inflamed by moronic, easily debunked conspiracy theories. Treat people bad, they might lash out.
Beaches are abstract objects built on our attraction to the boundary of water and land. They can’t comment for CNN. Who can: experts who measured and applied historical and biological data. Government officials who made tough decisions based on the science and law. Do not hide government value.
A lot of people dig it
'escalating tension with a federal judge.' In my day 'tensions with a federal judge' meant 'you're in jail.' Until somebody lands in the slam, they will continue to push the limits of the balance of powers.
Yarvin is right. If you get to choose the test, your targeted population will fail it. IQ is exactly what Yarvinians need it to be. Always has been. If you credulously report the IQ bit as a scientifically valid measure of worth, people will continue to think it is.
A lot of the adorable ones were killed. What about the uglies and the olds?
A person in that position has a very limited lifespan in the random chaos of the Trump administration. You are going to be fired or resign. One rule: make it count. Whistleblowing a massive criminal typical-DOGE move like slurping the entire SS database is an excellent way to make it count.
They are all rogue. Their leaders are responsible for
youtu.be/8-QNAwUdHUQ
Shit. I am as disaligned as it possible to be. Who is going to tell my supervisor?
Science and fantasy do coincide in the mind of RFK Jr
Yes, right. So Riga Medical School then. Or The Tierra del Fuego Community College of Obstetrics and Dentistry. One of those.
On the other hand Chemtrail Truthers are pretty far gone and are debunk-proof most of the time. On the other other hand, the fact that they can see it is both a strong intro and an obvious fix. I have never met one in the flesh.
On my flight today the outside temp at 38,500 feet was -61 Fahrenheit. Your average Chemtrailer does not know that. Also, for climate change stupids: a mature oak tree’s mass is over 90% from the air. Simple, demonstrable facts are useful when morons speak.
Stupid Lincoln
Nah the banker would know how to do some things, amortizing and compounding interest, shit like that. Kennedy literally has no expertise in anything but dead animals and heroin.
Really you got to respect the man’s game.
Yet another increase in twattage
I love oysters
When RFKJR is convicted of depraved stupidity I hope he’s sentenced to medical school.
Let me guess: at the root of this is that Trumpian catchphrase ‘widespread fraud.’ Nobody finds fraud like the fraudsters.
It’s about time we had significant resignations. Too many people are staying on the job.
‘Weaponization’ is BS. Agencies ARE weapons. The question is what the weapon targets and who aims it. The missions of these agencies are too obvious for right-wingers to attack, so they’ve coined a new idea that does the same thing. And once again we have accepted their framing and lost the point.

‘Weaponization’ is BS. The CDC IS a weapon. The question is what the weapon targets. We know what it should target, but doing that—functioning as a weapon against disease—embarrasses the quacks and cranks coining money on lies. Now those cranks have the power so they divert our focus with this bs.

EPA defends the environment so it attacks polluters. Justice attacks crime so it targets criminals. Labor attacks bad working conditions so it attack rotten employers. Weaponization suggests this is a new function. It’s not. What’s new is the corruption of killing an agency just to help friends.
Claiming weaponization of government agencies is propaganda. Agencies are weapons. Bitching about weaponization is just dodging accountability. They can’t say, ‘let me off the hook’ so they say ‘hooks are bad’ and ‘they hooked people so they are bad.’ Don’t let them.
If you never read anything, you can't claim a 7th grade level.
Wait...people are catching fish for sport?
Panic Stricken is all-capping everything.
I find good rules (Anne LaMotte, never use an adverb that doesn't change the verb) and I admire them. Sometimes in a reread I apply them but mainly they're for show.
He's not a blind sow or a stopped clock. He's a stopped sow.
Well, that's another data point in the continuing process of evaluating the President's understanding of the Constitution.
He's surrounded by people (like in that photo) whom you would never imagine as important counselors to an American president.
Gonna suck that the key element in the collapse of our democracy is the fact that Republicans have no idea what's actually funny.
Ukraine went into a war by sitting there being Ukraine. For this they must be punished.
thanks for organizing this Most Dipshit Metaphor contest. Somewhere around here is a list of nominees but it's not necessary now.
The Second Amendment is clear. It says...well, it says, I mean, something-something militia. But there's that semicolon, so...well, a rifle is kind of cool. And my neighbors leave me alone because they think I'm batshit dangerous, so there's another plus. And Biden.
Sounds kind of gestapo-y. Wait. Will there be duckies?
Pay him in nickels.
I hope somebody's writing all these people down so we know who to rehire (and promote) when the right-wing bullshit finally fades. And (obvi) whom to humiliate for their utter failure to act when it was at its worst.
Nine people keep us on the jump all day long being appalled and fighting right-wing dipshittery. I'm thinking there's a better way.
Unused parietal lobes? Even more of those.
Mercury vaccines didn't work--science showed it. Heavy metal buildup didn't work--science killed it, and chelation therapy failed. Science. The next four or five patches to Vaccines (something something) Autism didn't work, because they were stupid. Now we have mitochondrianism. Won't work.
Great I'll be depressed as hell and useless in the wintertime but sexy. Made that trade, want to stay where I am.
It's like being governed by a 10th-grade cheerleader's Instagram account that also happens to have subpoena power.
Guns to Americans are an erotic totem.
By my count they have 930 ‘Cis White Male 20-30 Killer’ segments to do just to catch up.
When I get a mean look I review my recent actions and evaluate whether I should amend my behavior. Hannity moves to Connecticut.
The kid can read your ‘Firefart University’ HOME OF THE SMOKERS T-shitrt already? So proud.
I am afflicted by a plague of stupid assholes. Does that count?
You want to keep your kids safe? Do not leave them alone with an evangelical pastor or youth minister. Highest likelihood of abuse outside of family.
