You know, I kinda suspect Trump's Persian isn't any better than his English
First they came for the trans people, and I said nothing because I wasnโt trans. Then they were like actually Iโm pretty sure you are trans and I said no Iโm not and they went okay well show us your penis then and I said what no get out of my face and they said that oneโs a girl get her
This dude is the bad guy in every single movie made about high school ever
One of many benefits of walking everywhere: I have no idea whether thatโs expensive.
It's a weirdly consistent theme, whether the issue is gerrymandering, ICE occupying cities, or the war they just started: surprise and whining that somebody who just got hit didn't get the memo they were just supposed to stand there and take it instead of hitting back.
A fatiguing thing about AI discourse is constant recourse to fatuous analogies. When a search engine returns results, it provides an index, not an answer: Google Search isn't telling you how to file a small-claims case, it's linking you to articles by people who may be liable for their advice.
2006: donโt be evil
2016: but really, what *is* evil?
2026: meet your new assistant Evi Lยฎ delivering +225% ROI on prison labor
I will miss Kristi Noem's inimitable constitutional insights, as when, asked by Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H. at a Senate hearing to define "habeas corpus," she replied, "Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country."
Assuming that weโre not DELIBERATELY bombing girlsโ schools, has anyone articulated about how being not-PC has actually served us strategically or tactically? Like anything articulable or measurable? Or is it just โblow shit up, but with a douchey expressionโ?
One thing thatโs always been wild to me is there inability to recognize who the bad guy is. Jessup, Patrick Bateman, Jordan Belfort. These guys consistently idolize the obvious villain.
I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now!
Trump is announcing his nominee.
That's it.
If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of thisโeven after knowing what they know now.
And that matters come November.
among other things, it's very very funny to imagine Trump having granular knowledge and strong opinions about various obscure Iranian regime figures possibly in the running.

Landed in Canberra to meet with Prime Minister @albomp.bsky.social.
This is the first bilateral visit by a Canadian PM to Australia in two decades. In a more uncertain world, we turn to our long-standing partners who share our values and our ambition to build.
NOEM: I would disagree with the judge
CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?
NOEM: A what?
CROCKETT: A law degree
NOEM: No I do no-
CROCKETT: Okay
Ah yes, hoping for a conflict to both be limited and fundamentally reshape the geopolitical landscape of an entire region of many different sovereign nations. A completely reasonable combination of wants.
"Letโs not bury the lede here: The DoD wants to use AI for fully autonomous lethal systems and mass surveillance of American citizens. Anthropic said 'no,' and now the US government is retaliating by trying to destroy it." โ @lizdye.bsky.social
Julian Bashir is the perfect modern bisexual twink: spends most of his late 20's pining after an unattainable transgender woman before settling down with an older man who used to work for the CIA.
this continues to be the best bashir post
This guy is now indistinguishable from the parody Colin Jost version.
In the age of Trump, we sometimes forget that a good message like this is the right thing to do.
Honestly I gotta hand it to Trump. If someone had told me they had a plan to get 23% of the GOP to support abolishing ICE I would have called them a liar.
Any democrat who isn't all in on this is either deeply committed to cruelty or has the political instincts of a half-baked potato.
A human reporter would be able to figure out who the Borg are and what their catchphrase means. I guess A.I. hasnโt advanced to that point yet.
The White House has helped MAGA influencers escape the Middle East on a private jet while more than a million ordinary Americans are still trapped with no way out.

Tara Laughlin, OIPC Investigator, and Alexander Lonergan, OIPC Adjudicator, presented a workshop today at the Victoria International Privacy and Security Summit #VIPSS entitled "OIPC Proceedings: Processes, Tips, and Tricks."
Red hats: Iโm voting for the game show host because I care about national security.
Also red hats: War planning is for losers. Just get a guy who does some (quarter inch) push ups on tv and itโll all work out.
and โthe libs have the moneyโ is something the business community knew until they talked themselves out of it in group chats! thereโs a reason basically every commercial pre-2024 was a sanitized smiling multicultural rainbow capitalist tableau
I really canโt emphasize enough that the queer community in this country stands so emphatically with the trans people among them. Institutionally. Personally. Collectively. At every turn I have felt active support from cis queer people. Nobody is buying this bullshit except opinion editors.
