Unconnected thought: a bunch of the coward cops at Uvalde were veterans
I thought I'd get to the polling numbers and they'd be something weirdly high like 10% and SWEET JESUS HOW THE HELL IS IT 37%
The Scots and my Bavarian ancestors were welcomed — as speed bumps on the frontier against the French and Spanish
This is some racist bullshit, but also does this guy know what 1780s Americans thought of French, Italian, and Slavic folks.
JD Vance frantically googling reenlistment rules
It's worth a side note that, at least 20 years ago, few commanders really understood that the JAGs weren't their personal attorneys at tactical-level units. (Got the impression that not all the JAGs really did, either.)
They're capable of not both-sidesing. We're never going to see an article asking "how do we pay for it?" on some progressive policy that also highlights the cost of the police state or the national security state
You guys see where this is going? Right?
No matter: little Stettsin and Kelciee can ride those right-wing quotas through Harvard to Yale to a Kavanaugh clerkship if they're just barely literate
I'm about 90% sure I remember some academic geography stuff that referred to those high, cold-winter western plains as steppe
I was about to say "spitting image of health" and realized he just looked like a Spitting Image puppet of himself
It is just wild to me that the largest facility used during Japanese internment will now be used to intern immigrants from ICE raids, people who are disappeared by masked officers off the streets, and there is still a debate about whether naming and shaming those doing it is fair.
I was hoping she'd smack the back of her head on the floor when she jumped through the trap door
A friend in DC was considering a job in Charleston until he saw the actual crime stats on Charleston
It's hard to overstate how much Eagle Scouts suck. So many right-wing weirdos. I avoid mentioning that I did it because it draws the loons out of the woodwork. "In 2017, O’Hanlon was captured at Trump’s first inauguration festivities in DC decked out in his full Eagle Scouts uniform."
Consultant (Turkish govt) Advisor (Turkish govt) Lobbyist (Turkish govt)
Maybe Bezos or Zuck need to take a helicopter tomorrow in bad weather
Similar laments from the right on Vietnam and Afghanistan and Iraq: "we weren't allowed to take the gloves off"
I love that we're following the same playbook with HTS that we did with the Taliban
He had a few other ways to make money that he didn't list
Also that he was, of course, completely sober, and why would you even ask that?
I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)
I just hate this tech. I've seen other people start to call it obscene and that is truly what it is. GenAI is obscene. It's an affront to humanity, pushed by tech bros and c-suiters who are forcing this rancid emptiness onto everyone else because they themselves believe in nothing.
"Weird science" is not uncommon at all in fascist regimes
Just saw someone refer to Cheryl Hines as The Marvelous Mrs. Measles and 💀💀💀💀💀💀
If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you
Ernest absolutely winds up in the bear costume
If you leave me to die I see no reason to let you step over my corpse to safety
If only you had been in a position to reverse this decades-long trend at some point in your life
Muriel Bowser should not know peace for the rest of her natural life for her role in attempting to normalize this. Her complicity is an indelible stain on her legacy.
Pro Tip: Never trust a Tripp to keep your affair a secret.
Good thing the museum got it first: Harlan Crow would've paid millions for this pistol
Besides being the right thing to do, it's going to help your career in the long run (assuming we emerge from fascism at some point) 1. Raises your profile 2. Demonstrates actual leadership
At least with good euro public transit you won't get to see another parent almost run over a kid in the school parking lot.
I can't stop thinking about how they fight like hell every time a jurisdiction tries to implement some form of instant running voting. And how Biden buried court reform. They know how to fight good things and refuse to fight bad things.
Oh no. Rule 34 applies to bird feet, too, doesn't it
We're relearning the habit after a long time neglecting it, but resigning in protest is often both more effective and a deep expression of civic virtue. There is no making this sort of regime better from within. You either lend it credibility or do what you can to tear it down. Exit is your voice.
It's just Yggy arguing with a picture of Alan Colmes
The lady doth protest too much.
Fashion magazines turned out to be far more serious in their opposition to authoritarianism than the supposedly respectable newspapers.
Next topic: are the Tutsis really cockroaches? Matt says yes. Jack Germond, what do you think?
Letting his true self show
Tbf everyone on bsky shares a cohesive pro-Alf hog position
The guys who never left Twitter are something else
If I was cynical, I'd think the ADL was trying to convince American Jews that their only safe home is Israel
Not being hired after accurately clocking the Iraq invasion managed to professionally kill off the competent Gen X journos
I just assumed that was the basis for the Amy McGrath and Jamie Harrison campaigns
The Buffalo Grill restaurants in France aren't helping matters, either
My Searzall is pretty good for meat; it's incredible on marshmallows
I can't prove this didn't happen, but I think someone's pulling your leg. It's ~200' deep at Constitution Island, but it's only 60-70 just north and south of there, and the currents are really squirrelly. (I rowed at USMA.)
A little more than a year ago, Donald Trump used his GOP convention speech -- and the largest televised audience he would have for a speech -- to praise Kim Jong Un & Viktor Orban. No matter how loudly he declares his intent to DO FASCISM, some journalists will insist there's just no evidence.
"Feels like"? Crime is way down where he is sending troops and feds, and they're not sending them to cities with the highest crime rates. It's clearly not about crime.
Court reform! That was very much in the water in 2021, and Biden killed it.
Don't think Bedbug hasn't been taking notes from Brooks
I very much hope he stays in politics. Unless I'm way off, he seems to have great instincts and actual moral courage.
As a DC resident for a decade plus, I don't even know where to start with this b.s.
Resurrecting the flag burning conservative bogeyman like it's still 1989
One death squad recruited exclusively from soldiers with "infidel" tattoos
Weirdo
I’ve never been one to sit on the sidelines. I’m running for State Assembly. Let’s fight for the future we deserve. 🚀 ➡️ KluweOC.com/Donate #ChrisKluwe #CALeg #OrangeCounty
The middle ground is abolishing ICE and prosecuting ICE and top administration officials in a Nuremberg style process. They're putting immigrants in concentration camps and torturing them. There's no middle ground to be had. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Jones started broadcasting in Austin in the mid-'90s. Salsa dude might've been listening to him for ten years.
"Y'all ain't from around here, huh?"
We went to the Ötzi museum a few years ago, and they had a good exhibit on other stuff that's been found on the glacier/s. Iirc, several mentions of how more and more was coming out. (Mostly fairly recent, though, like past 2-3 centuries.)
I mean, it's kinda true. Stuff is emerging from European glaciers at a very accelerated pace. (Mostly non-human-body stuff, though, afaik.)
My kid saw an ICE arrest this morning on the way to school. Cops are going out of their way to make kids despise them.
Not the point, but the thought of a supposed intellectual spending any time on a "follower of Ayn Rand" is very silly
I'm starting to think models aren't as bright as everyone says they are
I'm def overthinking a dumb joke skeet
I was split on that: long/short vs. "we go fishing in this part, but the little cove around there is where we party, eh"
We drove through this part of Ontario last weekend - absolutely gorgeous country of mixed forest, rocky hills, lakes, and upland marshes
Found the most Canadian lake
Not sure if you can have empathy if you don't believe anyone else is truly fully human
Wasn't Snoop in multiple porn films and also the getaway driver in a murder? But explaining a nice lesbian couple is too much for him?
It's nice to see our (still young) kids just not bat an eye at all at our queer friends or their friends' queer parents. It's just totally normal, like having brown hair v. dark hair.
If I were Cuomo, I'd try not to make people think about what I did for seniors
A bunch of the grads are pretty good at it, too
The Chicago way, Florida crosswalk edition
Learned in Canada last week that Tim Horton's breakfast » hotel breakfast (½ the time, ½ the price, 2x as good)
Trump's Presidencies have so far involved numerous Saturday Night Massacres, dozens of Watergates, and a never ending parade of Tea Pot Dome scandals. I worry that we're about to enter the "dozens of Kent State's" portion of the story.
All while GOP politicians are actually talking about throwing people out of helicopters www.wsbtv.com/news/local/c...
Actual Dem politicians use this language less often than actual GOP politicians talk about throwing people out of helicopters
The idea that somehow Democrats have neglected the “middle” depends almost entirely on the idea *anything* that a Black person does is by definition off-putting to the “middle” because Kamala Harris ran a determinedly centrist campaign.
Obama ran the must rhetorically left Pres campaign in my lifetime and debunked all the b.s. about running as a centrist, but these clowns still insist that the middle is the way. (Rhetorically left: he was as centrist as they come. No progressive answers a call from Rahm Emanuel.)
Two thumbs up (and a sense of dread just thinking about it)
6 years? Time flies on social media. And Newsom is a giant POS.
Really weird cop agency that should've been disbanded decades ago. They patrol some park land in DC, NYC, and SF. Very thuggish, too.
The "bullshit towards Vietnam vets" was mostly right-wing mythology, but cops and military are about to see actual disgust with this.
The defining feature of U.S. democracy has been the unwillingness to hold white conservatives to the rule of law. Time & again, when democratic systems seemed to threaten their power, white conservatives sabotaged existing systems. That dynamic makes democracy impossible.
I'm starting to think models may not be the geniuses they're made out to be
It isn't until the 26th paragraph that there is mention that what Trump is doing is being challenged as illegal. And it accepts Trump's stated rationale to act. Here is what I think: Trump is illegally deploying the military in blue cities to set the stage to interfere with the 2026 elections.
Positive-Change sounds like a euphemism for torture when it's written like that
Hundreds of millions of people are further away from being Trump fans
It is extremely mid "country cookin'"
We ate brunch at a GA airport restaurant this morning (kids love it), and I couldn't agree more for pilots in general
Imagine the US accruing that much debt with free college and public healthcare and good passenger rail
