generally one of two things happens in very republican areas:
1. didn’t realize it was government money (“keep your government hands off my medicare”)
2. did realize it was government money and got mad about it (“fuck your medicaid expansion”)
the association is cultural not transactional
Trump saluting a flag-draped casket carried by soldiers, wearing his standard ill fitting suit and a white baseball hat that says USA in gold letters visible from space
I think it's great that the president put on his most solemnly branded baseball cap to receive the returning coffins of soldiers killed in the unnecessary war he launched to distract from his failing presidency and pedophilia scandal.
Look at that gold-like letting. Classy as shit.
I have watched this approximately 47 times and laughed out loud 47 times
Also that recession never happened and there were no mea culpas from those who predicted it
When It Happens, no one will need to call you.
You'll just feel the deafening roar of cheers shaking your house like an Air Force flyover that never ends.
He stood over the coffins wearing a baseball cap?
Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.
FOR A STUDENT WHO USED AI TO WRITE A PAPER Now I let it fall back in the grasses. I hear you. I know this life is hard now. I know your days are precious on this earth. But what are you trying to be free of? The living? The miraculous task of it? Love is for the ones who love the work.

Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.
oh boy, what did we do now?
Identity politics is when you appeal to any group other than white men. Appealing to white men is just regular politics.
This is serious and sacred stuff. This isn’t partisan or even political. He is out of his mind, he is irrational, he is vengeful and splenetic and delirious, and he controls the most destructive power assembled in human history — which, critically, he has successfully mechanized into *war* currently
This “chopping babies’ heads off” is false rhetoric in support of genocide. We saw it with Gaza and now with Iran. The realities of the Hamas attack on October 7th and the actions of the Iranian regime are bad enough. They do not need to be embroidered to turn them into horror porn. It’s disgusting.
Rural broadband was one of the biggest government infrastructure investments since the interstate highways system and it didn’t do shit lol
the shape of bart's hair allows it to function as a heat sink, providing him a distinct advantage over his opponents when battling in extremely high temperature environments. they've never found a way to work it into an episode though
well speaking personally i just sit around completely inert with no internal experiences until someone says something to me so yeah i guess claude is conscious
unless they segregate public transit again that ain't gonna happen why you think car suburban culture took off
(shouted from the back): "Because you're dying?"
It is an existential imperative that we begin a serious global dialogue about how ‘experts’ as the media uses the term, consistently lag behind us laymen when it comes to Knowing Some Bullshit When We See It.
Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves
Is 4:20:00 too long to expect people to sit through the premiere of a video at a theatre
hey hey just another quick reminder to anyone who chose to do anything other than vote for Kamala:
no we will never forgive any of your motherfuckers for any of this shit
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
“MAGA’s fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other people” is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision they’ve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.
People from Oregon are called Oregoons.
Obviously.
Exciting news for infectious disease enthusiasts: measles is back in Colorado after years of vaccine hesitancy and misinformation. @spencersoicher.bsky.social reports for @nexton9news.bsky.social:
All the wrong people have imposter syndrome.
What pisses me off more than I'd like to admit is that Hegseth is too stupid/drunk/both to realize just how pathetic and weak he sounds when he thinks he's being cool and badass. It's not fair. There should be like a drug we could give him to make him self-aware and cringe until he shits himself.
The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.
15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.
