WA state sen. Leonard Christian used the R-word in a floor debate on Wednesday. "'Could I have chosen a better word? Probably,' Christian said. Christian had not publicly apologized as of Thursday afternoon.... Republicans did not censure or penalize Christian as of Thursday afternoon."

All I'm saying is Google had a vested interest in wrecking its magic search (people may have forgotten how insanely good it was, it was wizard level shit) because of how underwater they were on their AI investment and get you on to Gemini

I too remember the earlier, woke wars. tons of spent microaggression munitions strewn about everywhere, friends crying out for God as they were slowly cancelled...look, if you weren't there, you'll never understand

adventure games from the 80s were intentionally designed to be tricky, mean and occasionally counterintuitive so that you could get stuck for long periods of time. this was called β€œvalue for your dollar”

i am reminded, this morning, of how americans like pete hegseth and donald trump (and most the rest of this usa government) don't see other human beings as people.

they see them as numbersβ€”marks or obstructions or assets.

this is why their rhetoric so closely echoes that of the 1930's third reich.

Insurers refuse to cover ships going through the Strait. All GPS signals are blocked or spoofed because everyone on every side of it is using devices you can buy on Amazon to make sure drones and smart bombs don't find them.

Nothing is moving through that Strait until the war is over.

Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die' In an interview with 'Time,' President Donald Trump acknowledged the possibility that Iran retaliates with attacks on U.S. soil, saying, 'We think about it all the time. We plan for it'

This is what you say after you put a 22 year old noob in charge of America's counter-terrorism unit.

The cover for the Batman beyond and static beyond crossover. Static beyond is standing in darkness with his eyes a glow he has dreads and wears a white and black suit with yellow trim. His black jumpsuit is a golden and white radiated O with a lightning bolt going through it. We do not see his hands, but lightning is coming from the bottom and the Batman beyond symbol is glowing and framing him from the top.

Stylized digital illustration of Mulder and Scully from the X Files turning to look at camera at something, flashlights in hand. A UFO is flying by overhead, highlighted by an X in the sky. There are other X shape motifs in the shape of the flashlight beams nd the tree bark.

this is important because if it happens, it's going to do more damage to donald trump's government than anything else right now.

this, to billionaires, is the uncheckable zombie apocalypse.

Quick public service announcement

Just been informed my old Twitter account is back and I want to make it VERY clear it’s not me.

Haven’t posted on that hell site for years.

The most famous line from Lincoln's second inaugural address is also probably the most misunderstood: "with malice toward none, with charity for all."

I'm a fan of Frederick Douglass's gloss on it.

We are calling on Congress to protect the editorial independence of @starsandstripes.bsky.social, which provides crucial reporting to service members and the public.

Read the letter we signed with five other press freedom organizations: pen.org/urge-congres...

@propublica.org is one of the most important publications in the U.S. right now.

Freedom of the Press is a fundamental part of Democracy for a reason. This story is a major part of the reason Kristi Noem was canned.

Markwayne is actually a noble title, and is the Oklahoma equivalent to "Marquis," and may be passed on at the same time your father gives you his car dealership

"I respect Bernie Sanders because he's an open socialist, and you know that he's a communist so you know what you're getting. Rand Paul's a freaking snake. And I understand completely why his neighbor did what he did. And I told him that to his face."

This is what Markwayne Mullin said about Rand Paul a couple weeks ago.

Anyway, guess who chairs the Senate Homeland Security Committee
