I used to go to Yankee Stadium as a kid. At the time, it was $9-$15 for gameday seats, bleachers or upper deck. Now tickets seem like they start at $50 for nosebleeds. They’ve lost all perspective.

My shipment of $50 of clamps unavailable in the US from Holland was stopped. Fucking hooray.

I have products held up in customs because of this shit. Two little specialized clamps I can only find from an European company. SOL I guess.

Donations aren’t the answer: 1) fire Alviti. 2) fix the bridge. 3) fight for Revolution Wind. All this can be done today, with the time elected have already been given by RI voters. Stop thinking about your next term and do something to make our lives better now.

Fantastic. With the orange-smeared face sock as well. You’d be able to identify him by the knee-length red tie draped over his ICE body armor.

Why? Maybe because there’s no proof. Just a lot of wingding theories.

People who have looked at it said the numbers are right, but aggressive voter roll purges and other verging-on-illegal means of intimidation and confusion at many polling places and districts reduced the Democratic vote by some number of percentage points. Enough to give T-bag the election.

It’s clearly just a lie to provide pretext.

Yes. That loudness was somewhat amplified by ALL THE FUCKING MEDIA OUTLETS PARROTING HIS CLAIMS. I’m not shouting at you. I’m shouting at the world.

Also: “nothing about the future”? I’ve loved the Air & Space museum since I was 4. My daughter loves it too. Trump, being brought up in a racist, misogynistic gilded cage, never went to museums, thought about what he knows and maybe doesn’t know, or marveled at the vastness of the universe.
Old Bushwick Bob (@floatinghead.bsky.social) reply parent
But seriously: they’re attacking cities because they follow a pernicious, deadly ideology of racial hatred and misogyny, not because of their many, many failings. The failings happen irrespective of their hatred for brown people and women.

Funny because the headline at NYT said it was a “land swap”. But the Russian part of this “swap” is actually occupied Ukrainian land. So not a swap.

The highest levels of the Trump administration are collaborating with the FBI and DOJ to cover-up evidence the President committed sexual crimes against children. Unspeakably corrupt, and not a single Republican in Congress can be expected to speak out against it.

They won’t pardon her. They’ll just now give her a chance to introduce some of this new “correct” evidence and she’ll be free.

Constantly referring to his economic chaos as “deals” makes my ass twitch. “Deals” is part of Donald’s brand. When other Presidents negotiated, they were mostly referred to as treaties or agreements. I know it sounds trivial, but I wish more would deny him the satisfaction that this term gives him.

MAGA is a coalition of men against women, uniting men across boundaries of class, race & religion. For some reason, the *abundant* data supporting this keeps being presented, only to disappear beneath the waves of claims that MAGA is primarily driven by other forces, including class war & racism.

Your whole subtweeted first paragraph applies equally to wrestling and Trumpism. One of the appeals of wrestling is that it threatens to escape its bounds constantly. You could easily make the argument that Trumpism is staged in totality. The TACO aspect may be the unwillingness to slip its bonds.
