A federal judge in DC rules that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed and that actions she took as the claimed head of USAGM "shall have no force or effect," including last August's RIFs at the Voice of America.

really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.
Top old school trolling on the facebook
we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

Two scientists walk through a cluttered old-fashioned science laboratory. The female scientist says “Analogue instruments! Paper records! Chalk boards! I thought you'd agreed to modernise the laboratory?” The male scientist replies “That's what i'm so excited about: we have moved to cloud-based storage for our data!” They step out onto a balcony. She says: “Please tell me you haven't built a library zeppelin” This is exactly what he has done. It floats across the sky and he adds “It's got a fax machine!”

The incumbent was very old and everything he did drove Donald Trump insane, which makes the natural continuity candidate Ayatollah Joseph Biden, Blessings be Upon Folks.
My most unpopular opinion is that farming out the death penalty for child murderers to the hard faced horrible cunts they share prison wings with is a societal failure and instead of relishing when one gets killed, we should be ashamed our prison system is so broken.

I think the problem is that people got psyoped by Big Illiteracy into thinking more rules = harder to learn, play, and run when that isn’t always true.
“A longsword does d8 plus your strength modifier in damage” is easier to learn, play, and run than “idk sis, u figure it out.”

This is the big irony; the best-case scenario for Trump is that the Islamic Republic survives, which lets everybody declare victory in three weeks and go home so the media can anoint him with a Triumph and make fancams of explosions.
State collapse or civil war makes this impossible to end.
