That video, even at its long length, was one of your best (excluding every one about Christmas light). I might have to watch it a third time

It's disgusting and terrible, but I think Secretary of War Kegsbreath said it best when he said that "we are punching them when they are down." We are embodying the bully ethos. We punch down to make ourselves feel strong even though we are the weakest we've ever been.
I had to re-read the comments, and I was shocked to learn how many qualified traffic and road engineers live in West Seattle and deign to share their expertise in WSB comments. Who would have thought /s
There are way more than that, plus a large number of "Democrats" who are functionally identical to pre-Trump Republicans. Good news is that a lot of these NIMBY fucks are dying off, and their neighbor orgs are just paper tigers these days. We just need to keep pushing them out
A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.
Oh no! I've only got 368 other games in the backlog and another 400 coming this year that are on the wishlist. The handful of games they would have ported will truly be missed
Puts a smile on my face whenever I think about that

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

No votes on ANYTHING untill we vote on the War Powers Resolution.
Just need to update Capital G to Capital D and were all set for a 2026 rerelease
Cruelty is the point.
I learned a lesson long ago...
Remember: How you treat anybody is how you treat everybody.
If you need more evidence that Democratic members of Congress are credulous, dumb pieces of neolib shit, look no further
More and more it seems like everyone substitutes "AI" for "magic". They assume that it can do any and all things without even trying to find out if the most basic stuff promoted by boosters is real.
We are witnessing the death of critical thinking before our eyes
Y'all need to get @bradleyonishi.bsky.social on the pod. He knows more about the roots of MAGA than anyone I've ever met. (And he's a pretty nice guy too)
Just because they are the least bad thieves of the bunch doesn't mean that we should celebrate them. This is a broken clock situation
We genuinely need a revival of virtue in the United States.
In my view, thatβs almost as critical a project as any other structural reform project necessary in the wake of trumpism. We should become a society that actually values human life such that we would feel shame about this.

Also dead this week: the neighborhood cafe bill, despite a 94-2 vote in the House on the fourth day of the session.
It didn't even get a hearing in Senate local government.

A British grandmother with a valid visa detained by ICE for 6 weeks.
"So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. 'Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain β the guards told me that,' Karen says."
An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.
I would have been more interested in a listicle of best public restrooms to jerk off in. At least that information is useful
Is it because talking about real things is hard and scary? Are we so afraid to confront the hard truths about ourselves that we invent easily defined and resolved fictions to manufacture a reality we feel comfortable existing in?
