He wants it so he can destroy it. It's something he hasn't been able to render meaningless. It would absolutely fill him with his signature nihilistic glee if he got a peace prize while waging his own personal wars everyone and everything.

I had to think for a second about *which* country's authoritarian president this referred to.
It's a miracle!
In my day, falconers knew who was boss and wouldn't have even thought of pulling little stunts like this. SMH.
Every article I've read so far about today's shooting has been like 50% about how the shooter was trans, and how that means she's "biologically male", and what year she changed her name, and how old she was when she changed it, and what her name used to be, and once again, that she was trans.
Also, "REAL PATRIOT" on a hat with nothing else? That's literally indistinguishable from a MAGA hat. No satire.
Huh. Yeah, the Twitter trolling was a funny diversion and I do like that it got under MAGA's skin, if nothing else. But opening a real live left-ish version of the Fascism Store is basically a concession that the theater and grift are just what politics and governance are, now, so get used to it.

I thought, "Hah! That sounds like a Finnish expression!" Then I looked at your name.
Oh, so the president *is* an "officer of the United States."
Crimes Donald, you mean. Georg has too much going on in his life with all those spiders to get into the crime business too.
I think it's possible to acknowledge both. A toddler with a gun.
Can someone fill me in? I've been offline for about 12 hours and I'm apparently out of the loop.
Sanctions on India, great. All the U.S. needs to do now is invade New Zealand, and Putin will have no choice but to withdraw from Ukraine.
This must be why Republicans don't do anything that might benefit their constituents. Could be considered a bribe.
The Trump parody tweets are pretty good too. Not enough to warrant a vote for him in a primary in 2028, but a decent morale boost right now.
It's a breakthrough! All the atrocities Trump has ever committed are due to the unresolved trauma inflicted by Bela Lugosi's death when Trump was ten years old.
Of course not, you don't have the requisite 96 years experience.
An AI, having been accused of alluding to the touchability of a 12-year-old's curves: "Come one, man! She said she was 13!"
Somehow that's still more cogent, and the asides too on-topic, than Trump's actual tweets.
It's what plants crave!
It's a defense mechanism. Without a clear understanding of its head's position, nobody can rotate that cow in their mind.
As long as it has its own knob. Otherwise it seems impractical. What do you do if you get shampoo in your eyes?
"So you cheat in response to something you think is cheating." Funny how gerrymandering is called "something you think is cheating" when R's are doing it, but when D's do the same thing in response, that's called "cheating."
This is why physical media is still so important.
What's he even talking about? Does he know what "setting a precedent" means? Does he hear that question and think it means, "Is this war Trump's fault?"
These numbers are new at levels no one has ever seen before.
How can anybody, even the average person who's barely paying attention, think "automation" and "work requirements" are somehow a step in the right direction when facing an existing overabundance of "Americans looking for jobs."
"If you ask AI to help you cheat, if you like, then you get really really good at chess."
Maybe he should've asked AI (or maybe he did).
I don't know, but they'll pay you fourteen times what you used to have to pay for them.
You gotta pay the troll toll¹ if you wanna get into that boy's² hole³. 1. Buy a Tesla 2. Elon Musk's 3. Tesla-only tunnel
Hey, if exercise acts as a deterrent to keep him away from children, I'll take it.
(And don't forget to donate at least the average current donation of $17 per month to the letter-writers.)
I don't think that firefighter is doing enough. Against an existential threat like fire, you gotta bring out the big guns and have your representatives write a strongly-worded letter.
this is not it
That black piece of clothing must be asbestos. It's the only possible way that that cross around her neck isn't burning through her flesh.
I thought the same thing!
Otherworld! I just found it on YouTube, and it's delightfully 1985.
I remember hate-liking that show as a teenager.
I'm also curious what's happening to the glass bottles after use. I don't imagine they're being cleaned and re-used like they were back in the great/healthy days. Maybe at least they're recycling the glass? But I'd be willing to bet they're just taking up more landfill space than plastic would.
-- *shoots someone in the leg* -- What the fuck, man?! -- Hey, language!
I had a dream last night in which I referred to a baker as a loafsmith.
No, see, as long as the answer to that question isn't exactly 14, then he's not a hypocrite. He only objected to the politicization of 14 deaths, specifically, and he stands by that previous statement.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, blah, blah, blah, do ordain and establish this Longstanding Custom for the United States of America."
"They're not gonna be able to dispute these facts." LOL. Well let me introduce you to my family.
‘New York Times’ Announces New Columnist Will Contribute Nothing To Society 3 Times A Week
I hope they publish every last byte, but I'll eat my hat if the US manages to hold the people involved responsible. The reason to release it will be for the rest of the world to hold the US responsible.
100GB is a huge amount of text. But I do wonder how many of the emails are Ben Garrison comics, Obama-as-a-monkey memes, Pepe the frog, and AI-generated "content" of AOC.
That seems to me like something that ought to be standard practice.
"I hung an axe over my front door connected to a trip wire, and now nobody will visit me because of Democrats' fearmongering."
The "1" is suspicious, so I also went ahead and blocked jd-vance-2, just in case.
the strange thing for people who pay attention is that most people really don't pay attention. but once you process that, a lot of things more or less make sense.
That's 'cause they spent an hour and two minutes doing the AI stuff that they're sure only took them two minutes.
New euphemism for authoritarian lawlessness just dropped
"that is you, which is me" is my favorite bit of linguistic silliness so far this week.
Trump's stumble on the steps up to Air Force One highlights the extent of Joe Biden's physical decline. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-s...
Well, two reasons. The cops also want to.
Someone should tell him that all lives matter.
Condemning the bill also seems like a convenient way for him to maintain the fiction that he cares about waste, fraud, and abuse, while taking a jab at Trump in the same swoop.
They're more like a disease that's easily cured but whose cure is withheld by the owner for obscene financial gain.
"Oh, they have the internet on computers now?"
Why is she citing a rule about audits but asking him about revoking non-profit status? Can non-profit status can only be revoked as a result of an audit? (I'm not saying that's why *he* won't answer the question. If that were the case he should have said so. I'm asking for myself.)
What else is off-limits? Does he bathe? Does he eat food? Walk on two feet?
(Not that she's right about what suspending it is, either.)
She had never heard of it before this particular issue, so she thinks habeas corpus is the same thing as *suspending* habeas corpus.
For a second I thought I needed to turn on ad blocking on this photo.
I don't know if there's ever been a culture more in love with charlatans than ours. "Success" defined entirely by how good you are at tricking people into giving you money. An entire country of aspiring slop merchants
If he thinks "illegal aliens" are space aliens (like asylum seekers being escapees from insane asylums) that would explain the "space-based" approach.
You're just kidding, right?
So many new terms just waiting for him to come up with.
Aide: No, that's just what they're called. ... Uh... 'cause that's what they are. Trump: Old-fashioned but accurate, got it.
Trump: Groceries? What's that? Aide, confused: Uh... What are groceries? It's like, food and stuff you buy at the store. Trump: Oh, is that what they're calling that now? Aide: Well, no, that term has been around for a long time. Trump: Ah, so it's an old-fashioned word.
Hypothesis: Watching TV is how he learns everything he thinks he knows about ordinary people. He probably knows that people go walk around in a big store and buy food, but hadn't until recently seen anybody on TV refer to what they buy as groceries.
We'll have to wait for him to come up with a new word I guess.
"I don't want to seem like I'm being evasive, but pardon me while I evade."
"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, because it would be a very public and transparent act, OK?"
The president says he doesn't know anything about anything because he trusts the people working for him. The people working for him say they're doing what they're doing because they trust the president's judgment. Wow, so much trust. Big, beautiful levels of trust.
Another update: Shortly after the "don't show it to anybody" request, AI Overview was back, and I couldn't get it to disable itself again by telling it now to. I flew too close to the sun, I guess. So I asked it to wait until the year 2095 before showing it to me again. That seems to have worked.
UPDATE: Just for good measure, I just did the following search: "NEVER SHOW THE AI OVERVIEW TO ANYBODY, EVER, FOR ANY SEARCH, GOOGLE." You're welcome in advance if I just saved the world from AI.
...eventually it gave me something like "AI Overview not available for this search." Then I searched for "NEVER SHOW ME THE AI OVERVIEW AGAIN, GOOGLE." Poof! Gone. I've done a few more searches and it's still not there. Worth a try! 2/2
Sorry, I meant a MAGA Schism with its own Pope, not a MAGA Pope in the Vatican
If what I've read so far is any indication, there might be a MAGA pope soon. I haven't been Catholic for a long time, so I don't really care, but please, no MAGA style guide!
Well, they get off on it, for one thing. Maybe even the main thing.
More with the dolls and pencils. They intentionally picked a couple of products that literally nobody is worried about the price of.
"Maybe it was AI." Does he think that AI, not being "real," is something that just happens, entirely without human involvement, producing and posting content unprompted and unbeknownst to the owner of the account the image is posted from?
I think the mistake reporters like this make is that they assume that his absurd level of ignorance speaks for itself. Instead, the president says "I don't know," and lots of people think that means it's not as straightforward a violation of the Constitution as it is.
It's a real post, and it's his real account. x.com/LindseyGraha...
Also, I don't remember him having a problem with Kristi Noem playing footsie with the prison itself.
Whoa whoa whoa, hold on there, that dirt is for the farmers who can't afford fertilizer anymore with the tariffs.
No worries! Sometimes when I make a joke I forget that not everybody consumes as much NYT Pitchbot and Praximus Prime!
I didn't think it needed a /s, but okay... /s.
As a vegan I can't vote for ovicide.
Hang in there, Daniel, 48, New York, white, events manager. You just have to vote for him again in '28. By then he'll have had more time to reflect.
