i will never forget the goofy press conference where they announced this, expecting applause, while everyone was squinting, trying to keep the sun out of their eyes. an all timer in pantheon of california political misses

the obvious solution is to give them affected british accents, like they did in the chernobyl series.

This is what England play like when they're not threatened with the prospect of having to meet Sir Keir Starmer

the pyramids were built by a department in the bureaucracy of the pharaohs. hoover dam was a works project. the atom bomb. nuclear power more generally. the internet was created by a government research agency.

like a biblical warning from a coen bros film.

My memories were way off

at the risk of being a big nerd about this, I had to share this guilloche video from clickspring. he's making a big dial indicator. but he's doing his own clockwork and making the parts from silver and synthetic rubies. simultaneously impressed and despondent over how good his results are.

we're all rooting for spain, right?

Reminded of that old joke: "madam, we've already established what you are; now we're negotiating the price."

this guy has a legitimate shot of getting elected to the next congress.

Carbohydrates, being necessary for the production of adenosine triphosphate, the right of the people to order and consume penne, shall not be infringed. -James Madison, 1883

He's really lost a step here. We went from a possible pee tape in russia to china destroying their docs in the same way my CPA does.

that's what happens when you fire the prompter guy for trading on inside information!!!!

this shit isn't going to work and i hope people dig it out 20 years later to show you how transparently racists you are.

His home was vandalized. You should never vandalize a person's home unless they have a tenuous connection to somebody who is suspected of a nebulous crime in which case you should drive a bulldozer through the house.

Oh my god, we found the platonic ideal of a Bluesky user.

a good exit interview....motherfucker, i just want to leave. everytime i have done an exit interview i just wanted it to end and i'm sure if i thought i could get it over with i'd tell them i was leaving for lack of ping-pong.

billionaires the world over are primarily concerned with one thing and it's how to evade taxes.

some kids do potty training at three and, apparently, some are training to be influencers/politicians.

we should let him take a sub out for a spin and see what happens.

These images of First Nations community members evacuating Collins, Ontario on motorboats are absolutely surreal www.facebook.com/reel/1548244...

can you imagine how much progress we could make on Alzheimer's with 5 billion in funding to the NIH? i think we all want to find a way to slow down alzheimer's. or figuring out why young ppl are getting colon cancer at increased rates. hell, burning the money is better than this shit.

Venal little shit.

350 billion isn't a number to fight a disfavored political ideology, it's the GDP of a small country. And that's without even going into the minefield of "fighting" an ideology that's constitutionally protected.

Any house framers, or GCs, or building inspectors follow me? I've got a pretty specific question about portal framing a wall that has windows, sliding glass doors, or an unsupported ridge beam along most of its length. I need to know the best way to satisfy the bracing reqs. 1/2

This is exactly what's meant by "the escalation trap" as used in Bombing to Win.

There is a direct line from our insane supreme court to Mitch. He held onto a grudge about Bork for decades and we might have three functional and coequal branches of government but for this man.

The dead can't hear you speak the truth, however unflattering, about them and those they leave behind are likely aware if they were an asshole. Graham spent his whole adult life advocating for war and death.

<Hitler dies> Democrats: He wasn't as bad as you think,

I think about Ben Stiller telling Robert De Niro "OH, you can milk anything with nipples, Jack" at least 3 times a week.

At the end of the discussion the solution is going to be the same as it was prior to the start of the discussion: europeans are going to need more heat pumps. Blame me, personally, for ppl in Manchester needing AC. But go get it--it's a solvable problem, unlike many others re climate change.

You're just going to try to gaslight us, aren't you?

when i applied for my residency visa to the UK they made me turn over my banking detail and made sure that I could support myself w/o public assistance. immigration authorities make it very clear you're on your own.

What I'll remember most about him is that he was always willing to send my friends and family abroad to kill foreigners. Can't say I ever noticed any sense of humor from the guy.

"I can't die now" might be the most unoriginal last words ever.

fucking guy really did put the sports page in frame for his proof of life picture.

jesus i see what you've done for others and i want that for me.

People who are on MMT don't get intoxicated from it and most wouldn't want to get high from methadone even if they could. Methadone should be easier to get than lortabs, but alas we treat it like it's cyanide.

What Lindsey Graham believes is just as bad, if not worse, than what Trump believes. If Graham had his way we would be in 5 or 6 additional wars right now. He thought we didn't back Israel's genocide enough. He thought we should occupy Iran and blow up desalination plants. GTFOH with "integrity."

he died in one of the most painless ways possible. he deserved to linger and be robbed of his dignity before shedding his mortal coil.

That's $22 a gallon for gas, in case anyone was wondering.

Whoever heard of a 71 year old man just dying of a heart condition, is the take I'd expect from this loon.

Somebody called him a remora looking for a shark to attach himself to. That description seemed to explain him well. I just hoped the shark would go first.

something really obscene about auctioning off this thing to go be a lawn ornament for a harlan crow type asshole.
