So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street
TSLA stock in freefall. Just an absolute bloodbath. You love to see it.

I was gonna grade papers today, but ended up yelling about VC bullshit instead.
It is an article of faith in Silicon Valley that technology is miraculous, and will always save us.

My depressing thought for the day: it seems increasingly inevitable that quite soon, Trump decides to simply disregard a court finding that some of his actions are illegal or unconstitutional. Impeachment is attempted & fails thanks to loyal Republicans. At which point there are no good options.
Retaliatory tariffs are all right and good but if Canada, Mexico and the EU want to get this over with sanctioning the hell out of Trump’s oligarchs seems like a force multiplier.
The reason Trump is railing against “DEI” hires related to a plane crash is to escape culpability for the first large scale commercial aviation disaster in USA since 2009. Is he entirely to blame? No. Did his Adm make flying less safe? Yes.

Nice! Female Eastern Bluebird?
If you wanted to panic, the time was the night he was re-elected. Now it's time to take a deep breath and do things like express your views to your member of Congress, and start planning for 2026.
There will be no panic in this dojo.

I wish you and yours a warm and solemn Happy Honda Days.
not a big shock that a serial plagiarist is impressed by two dumb guys
It was never about Biden's age or Harris's lack of policy proposals. It was about reporters being bored. Covering competent governance was like eating a bowl of plain oatmeal and what they want is Walter White's blue meth.

A lot of the positions people like RFK jr. take (anti-vax, anti-pasteurization etc.) get described as “controversial.”
They’re not. There is no controversy. This is long-settled science. The correct term is “stupid.”
"Recess Appointment" is how Matt Gaetz meets his dates during lunch period.
every Pacific naval encounter from late 1943 onward is like the IJN Golden Kirin, Glorious Harbinger of Eternal Imperial Dawn versus six identical copies of the USS We Built This Yesterday supplied by a ship that does nothing but make birthday cakes for the other ships
biden-era policies were extremely geared toward the working class, whose wages went up at much higher rates than the top half of earners and saw a job boom, as well as IRA investment in traditional manufacturing regions. they rewarded him by switching heavily to Trump.
