Nothing like calling people “goat fuckers” when your the one riding around wrestling one in the back if a van.

And then to post it online!

Lied, she lied.

In the most pretentious way possible.

One worked for the post office. The other worked in a Post cereal factory.

I once had a fan club.

Will we ever get a City of Angels revival? I’m still upset the screen version never happened.

More if this from other Dems, please. Murphy has been really good at being a real voice of opposition.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

FAFO in these cases is a way to minimizing or rationalize the suffering. If “they deserve it” then “I don’t have to care.” In the end this is a variation of the dismissal of empathy that we all hate to see happening on the right. Too many people who are otherwise empathetic fall into this trap.

That is a smart way to handle this.

George Orwell would like a word.

Not to mention any “empty sloganeering” was the result of Trump’s withdrawal from the previous nuclear agreement, which was an alternative that was actually working.

To whom? It would maybe have been a good idea to stand up an alternative government / army ahead of time. Of course, Sen. Graham said yesterday that’s not our job.

Read this! And listen to @sarahposner.bsky.social podcast. It’s an invaluable tool for understanding so many of this administration’s actions that seem inexplicable.

I have been watching everything this weekend through the lens of that episode.

The American people now see Trump for who he is — a would-be dictator who does not care what Americans think or want, cares nothing about our Constitution or our laws, and sees himself as a kind of eighteenth-century king, with unlimited power to drag us into wars without the consent of the people.

This is a crisis moment, and any Democratic leader who won’t step up should be asking why they’re in the role. The rest of us should be asking why we let them stay there.

What happened to, “First, do no harm?” Even if this director is forced to follow policy, he should insist on doing it safely. (I’m not defending the policy, just to be perfectly clear.)

Oh, you beat me to this

Only when they get too tired and don’t sleep.

Do you know who else likes those kinds of breaks AND actually benefits from them? Real human employees who you want to replace specifically because they want them.

Meanwhile, some other AI is probably grading the assignments and posting grades and comments.

Edit button, please: parents*

These patents are now waiting for a miracle. They ignored the real miracle: the vaccine that could have prevented all of this.

Cue the right-wingers saying that Dan called for burning down churches.

Perfect framing here!

People should go back and look at how Republican governors responded when the Obama administration merely offered to assist with cybersecurity in 2016. Not a takeover, not nationalization, just assistance.
