Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) These people are so dumb they think Republicans are dealing in good […]

This #bbc thing is baffling to me. It is pure kowtowing to fascism. In what way was the edited video misleading? People might be misled into thinking what? That Trump intended people to storm the capital, like they, in fact, did? "Evil will always win, because good is stupid." #tv #fascism #uk

Jeane Shaheen and company can suck sweaty donkey balls. Starting with the #dnc mascot's. That is my considered opinion as a distinguished citizen and jurist. #uspol #shutdown

I've been on a 2-month pad thai binge and I have tried about eight different restaurants (we are blessed with many! ❤️ ABQ). One thing I have discovered is this, if they don't let you choose the spice level on the menu, your Pad Thai is going to suck. 😂 No coincidence that the two places that […]

It's fucked up that SNAP is a political football and didn't phase anyone but 10% delayed flights are a "serious issue" that is bringing politicians to the table. #healthcare and #snap are way more important than flight delays. We will survive logistics inconveniences, unlike not having health […]

Politico with the lolz. #uspol #senate "After 38 days of stalemate, the Senate is finally turning to its tactic of last resort to solve the government shutdown: a working weekend."

Oooh, this article is as if this is a bad thing, Amtrak travel is SO MUCH nicer than an air flight. I'd take a train everywhere if I could. Coach = lots of talking with random people (if you like that), bring blankets (at least on the CA - New Mexico stretch!) […] [Original post on ai6yr.org]

we are seeing GOP cope of historic pace and proportion

“And No. 2: Cut out the identity politics,” Ramaswamy said. “It doesn’t suit Republicans. It’s not for us. That’s the woke left’s game, not ours. We don’t care about the color of your skin or your religion. We care about the content of your character. That’s who we are.” ... 🤣🤣🤣 #uspol

I will always remember Dick Cheney for his role as The Penguin in Batman Returns (1992). 👀 #cheney

Okay, well I got the "be gay" part done, but can the "do crimes" part wait till after brunch? The DST ending has me all messed up.

So my doctor moved, they didn't inform me properly. I need medicines, but my Rx requests were going to empty air. The clinic he worked for tells me they aren't replacing him so I'm no longer a patient. I saw him for 15 years and have a complex medical history... But America has great […]

Could anyone characterize the current times in Ethiopia for me? Preferably an Ehtiopian themselves, but anyone with recent knowledge would do. I have this notion Ethiopia is experiencing a mini-boomtime and increased stability but I'm not sure where I picked it up. #ethiopia #africa

Dato il pomeriggio piovoso, abbiamo fatto una tarte tatin con mele al caramello al burro salato. È la prima mai fatta, dopo cena la assaggiamo.

Shout out to all you #wikipedia editors out there. I'm one of those weirdos that reads wiki for fun sometimes. Mostly basic sciences lately. Biology. Arthropods. Fungi. Abyssal sea life. Thanks for the free reads!

#gamedev https://ob.makeafacepublishing.com Ok, I say this every time I post fixes, but, I think Tarot and Experimentation are working. ha! I tested instances on Day 57 and Day 253. Weekly threshold tax is also occurring after Day 50. Only a couple […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Not sure if I would rather no one be sad, or that everyone be sad whenever I am sad. A strange selfish thought.

Have the dictionaries done their "word of the year" thing? I nominate "grift". If that isn't the zeitgeist I don't know what is. #grift #words #dictionary #dystopia

Taking a stab at #gamedev again today on my "Occult Bookstore" text-adventure project. It still needs a lot of balance to get a progression of obstacle and reward. Redoing the main stories to even things out. Changelog so far today: - Overhaul of experimentation system, specialized research […]

This is the soap aisle in the otherwise completely normal gourmet market in my NYC neighborhood.

I swear my voice typing will always choose the wrong homonym of their/there/they're for the sentence. Three sentences in a row, it used all three forms, but each incorrectly. 😂

When Trump asks billionaires to pay for a ballroom it is patriotism. When the people ask billionaires to pay more taxes, it's radical socialism. These motherfuckers are speed-running the buildup to the French revolution. Fucking gold leaf trim and ballrooms? Is this fucking Versailles? No […]

The upper east side of NYC has been going mad for Halloween and every year the decorations get more wild. Not long ago giant plastic skeletons were too "low class" for this neighborhood. No longer it seems. It's bigger than Christmas. It legit looks like a suburb in the 80s. kind of makes me […]

Ballroom Picture this dance floor: Trump, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, Zuckerberg. Orange and pasty-white limbs flailing all over the place. Bunch of plastic-faced women looking on, regretting their life choices. #uspol

Empirical observation: A single man has now directed an angry crowd that smeared shit in the halls of the Capitol, and has also overseen the literal physical destruction of the White House. What exactly are "conservatives" conserving? #politics #uspol

Ok, I think I got the screen shake working right on mobile. And the floating numbers. Totals weren't tracking right for a bit there. If you had a game in progress you might need to save, clear cache, and load with your save code for the new visual effects to kick in. Changelog: - Damage shake […]

Watching French ex-president go to prison for electoral finance fraud and I'm like WHEN LORD, WHEN WILL IT BE OUR TIME?! So jealous. Ditto for Bolsonaro, ditto for South Korea's near-power-grab. Imagine how much pointless waste and cruelty could have been averted if our U.S. courts hadn't […]

@HumanServitor I think if we can keep up the pressure it’s only a matter of time until we see a criminal investigation. The son ot the future king of #norway is up on multiple charges of rape, and if he gets sent to prison it will make lots of people wonder why #princeandrew hasn’t faced similar […]
