That would fit with the āshit being thrown out the WH windowāā¦

. Mood: šŖ§ My sign, if I was there: The Bigger the Fence The Smaller the Dick
Abbott
Maybe no one wants to talk to him; canāt imagine heās any less intolerable to his colleagues than to us š§
Not to distract from the dire seriousness of the topic *at all*ā¦ but there was something deeply (delightfully) funny hearing such an american-flavored meme āwhoopieās lineāpop out of an iconically british voice
Ach! Beat me to it š
Brother ā he walked himself smack into that one, didnāt he.
Thatās what I thought: itās not about driving or parallel parking āthis guy simply has no spacial capacity at all. I doubt he can tie his own shoelaces.
Forget *driving*ā- this schmuck has absolutely NO spacial facility at all. I doubt he can tie his shoelaces.
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
Heās *never* walked a course. He drives an mph-modified cart (rushing ahead to move his ball - see R. Reillyās āCommander in Cheatā). Instead we need him to take a standard road sobriety test ā walk a straight line āand show us whatās under that humongous Fidel Castro cap
This is the one Labor Day graph that tells you the actual problem in America. The problem is not that America lacks abundance. The problem is that a handful of oligarchs are hoarding Americaās abundance. www.levernews.com/the-labor-da...
Whatās with the oversized velcro -tab Castro cap?
This is worth sharing far and wide. Federal Employees and contractors oral history project. Im not involved in this. Just got the link, idea seems to be to create a record of the assault on the American Repuvlic after Jan 2025. www.fecohp.org
. šŖ§Sign idea: The Bigger the Fence The Smaller the Dick (ā¦but hey thatās just me)
Can anyone put their finger on precisely *when* our political reps forgot this?! Ok, thatās rhetorical; they jettisoned obvious lessons of (not so distant) history w the same stutterstep of authoritarian riseā and its new reward matrices. But the sclerosis is stunning. Re-learn it already!
Better still is my Italian grandma: āyou can lead a mule to drink, but you canāt make him waterā (she was a veritable yogi berra, that one š )
Yikes
3 Still, social psych points out it;s *still* a story of the ultimate power of āsituationāā; the (maga) sociopolitical situation has āherdedā individuals w/ certain pers. traits into the same pen. Thus a situation has siphoned variability out of the distribution of traits throughout the population
If you donāt believe that Trumpās authoritarianism can be defeated, look at how scared MAGA is of chalk:
. Wow. Peak level fever-dreaming. š„š
Interesting research on āinoculationā ideas. One problem is finding ācredibleā models ā as when McConnell voiced support of R-loss results. As Maga virus spreads, fewer such ācredible carriersā exist; major āleadersā are infected, and ālesserā partisans are tossed out of the in-group orbit.

2/2 But today, thatās inverted; the polarization and content of maga (a sociopolitical situation) has turned pers. measurement into an R (R as in correlation) powerhouse
1/2 The āpersonality measurementā wing of research psych knew abt this for over a generation ābut was rightfully taken w a ton of salt in terms of predicting or explaining behavior bc *situational factors* always exerted more variance on political behavior.

Time for me to re-up my DD$.
Thx - good to know. Iāll find out whatās avail here (currently stuck in the middle of the Pacific š)
Oh but Andrew lost his little tin shield and purty red sash š
Thx ā happen to know if itās an updated booster (for new strain(s) ?ā or same thatās been avail for several months? ..Although frankly at this point weāre lucky to grab āor should I say stab ā * whatever*ās still avail to us. UnF-inā believableā¦.š¤¬
. We are in a hall of mirrors ā sort of like the Funhouse.
To this day only my sister and I remember scads of hoppers around the docks of the jersey shore decades ago, fully formed and functioning and no larger than a tiny kernel of corm. They were miraculous. All the adults said we were aāfabulatināā¦.but they just werenāt looking.

. Huzzah! I do understand that people who write and release books expect that anyone, theoretically, might or will read the damn thing ā or even put it on a list or something. Still, *Iām* getting a little frisson thing just thinking about how this might make you-the-author feel š«¢

So wonderful. You will never regret not giving something to your friend; a wonderful gift š

š£Still pitching the idea of citizens *walking backwards as an occupier approaches, dropping crumbs of Krispy Kremes as they go* Make sure 3rd party tapes. *Maybe* a littering bust. But think of the clips: Goons following trails of donuts! š¦ š¤”š

Thanks, I;ve been using and liking PwF too. Do you have an experience report on āCatch Upā?
From your lips to g-dās ear
Everybody repeat after me: TRUMP DID THIS. Say it loud. Say it constantly. Assign simple, true words to simple, true things. TRUMP DID THIS
Not gonna click through ācauseā¦

Hopefully soon to be āvery out of a jobā @jordanwood.bsky.social
The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but itās clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...
As a NYC voter Iām feeling like the Mamdani election is, among other things, my chance to vote *against* Jeffries a year earlier than expected šš¼
Sometimes think I got out of the professoring biz just about in time to avoid the worst of this
KAREN WAS THE BEST! Better? š
āLast thing Iāll sayā: technically true, but reposting character testimony from third partiesā¦. Still sort of counts as āthingā youāre saying š āļø
Hey @brianbeutler.bsky.social itās one thing to post yr disagreement and even argument w/ another, but reposting disses that are one step removed from the particulars of your disagreement to a more generalā¦dare I say ad hominem ā level is ā¦ not helpful. Imho
Didnāt take the full myself, but your mention of loaded question makes me suspect itās a push poll: A communication designed to move public sentiment in one direction or another, while appearing to be just an information gathering instrument.
Or a push-poll ?
..and thanks! š
ā¦ and give big š from me š
šš¼šš¼š Mazel Tov!
Yeah all bets are off w BP. My plea (in general phone security hygiene) directed at situations like in the OP - streets of American, cities and towns
Claim will be you āinterfered with/obstructedā LE business or were not filming from public land. Your vid of the scene can be evaluated vs such claims. Plus the last thing you want to do is try to track down some random stranger who was also filmingā¦ Anyway, *your* vid POV will b most dispositive
Periscope was pretty darn painlessā¦but I hear thatās kaput now š
Did a quick incomplete search of tools a while backāTwitch, YT Live, etc, but didnāt tabulate pros & cons. U can start with search results (NOT AI summaries!) for something like āstream directly from phoneā āš¤ Perhaps some bsky maven(s) could point to (or post) a good overview for us all?
Even real-time uploading to your cloud accāt or Dropbox or whatever are not idealā¦those are *your* storage accounts and your (confiscated) phone will be a āgreat helpā to breaking in. Will require choosing, acquiring, and *using* a good tool. The goon net perimeter WILL continue to widen.
š£āļøbeseech everybody PLEASE tool-up to *live stream* your phone vids. Gather needed tools *now* and USE them when filming goon action. If youāre tossed into the system for taping, you DONāT want your video evidence āeg āobstructing police businessā? Really?ā to vanish with your confiscated phone
Sorry John Mulaney: Horse in a Hospital was great ā but that was then, and this is now. Clowns with Flamethrowers it is.
Can we talk about that headline? If itās true, you donāt need āDemocrats say.ā If itās untrue, donāt put it in a headline. Either way, youāre fucking reporters. Find out whatās true, and write that.
You liāl fecker!
All these guys sound like little kids, whispering alt happy endings to a scary bedtime story, alone in the dark, under the covers. (āwhistling past the graveyardā isnāt right ā too mature a self-soothing notion for these children)
. . Ahh, the things we do for them. Waitāwhat am I talking about?! The things they do for *us*! š„°
. Fuck US And by that I mean *not* āthe USāā¦ .. but *US*

Loved that horse. Had to prove the precise problem to trailmates by turning him around like hands of a clock andā¦yepā¦āparty timeā came only when that canyon wind pointed to ādue assā š„°
Yah it is. But the generic lattice (a glaucoma eye drop ā bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) is cheapest of all š In fact they discovered it grew lashes when glaucoma patients started sporting night-beaters š . Whereupon drug grabbed up, renamed, FDA ālabel/off-labelā rigged, and ā¦. Voila ! š°šøš¤
Was trying to trail-break a horse (meaning: just acclimate) along a ridge line trail but heād freak out at ārandomā times. Turns out it was at mountain passes when the wind blew up his ass š¤£ Humbly submit Tās wind thing a remnant of some similar, earlier somatic experience š¤
On top of all the restāWHY the F doesnāt Melania or one of her yuge beauty crew show him how to ACTUALLY use make-up? As with his speckled face, heās sure that HE knows best š¤”
Itās not an irrational finding btw (handful of evolution & aging signals) ā but the *sufficiency* of this single feature is quite startling
Fave obscure yet wildly significant experiment ever: manipulating *only* eyebrow fullness and *length* (toward the temple) š° higher attractiveness rating of woman in the pic š¤Æ Thatās why smart ladies use their Latisse on brows, not lashes š
And in Snowpiercer imho
Been trying to do this *forever*-- the sticking point IS ALWAYS the books š„¹
Doesnāt even need to be congestive heart failure (tho heās certainly at risk) āSimpleā a) elevated BP + b) diabetes (gotta be!) would kankle him up. Lymphedema, plain old edema, whatever bs word the WH uses āitās part of cascade ā° And he *refuses* to walk and spend his ālife caloriesā. Honest.
lotta CHEST BUMP FAKES there. Naked physical intimidation. And the ācounter-filmingā is just peak š¤£š¤£ - and so so lame. This āImma BIG MANā thing NOT working out 4 them as expected. Their frustrated thuggery *will* lead to escalated violence. But REMEMBER - we ARE making them feel like betas š
