I've started blocking people who reply to me spouting facts they learned from The University Of Their Ass. This isn't just for me, here it has the effect of keeping others from wasting time on them as well, so I'm kind of doing everyone a favor.

Trump demolished the entire East Wing of the White House

List of things that JD Vance thinks are a disgusting butchering of the Nicene Creed: 1. Yard Signs 2. Lyrics to We Didn't Start the Fire 3. Ending Monologue to Trainspotting 4. The Cat in the Hat 5. The movie Creed 6. For some reason Puppies

Does anyone know how to say "it's not that I disagree with you, it's that it genuinely can't be done" to a complaining cat?

As with some other things, i suspect if we have another dem president we will discover that the court did not so much transfer power to the executive as to themselves, ie they will find novel bullshit reasons to block a dem president the same way the find novel bullshit reasons to enable trump

Y'know, this is very much like the way I imagined Middle Earth when I first read the books; and it annoys me that the movies kind of pushed it out of my head.

“We’re all trying to find the guy who did this” - ChatGPT

Sealant Team Six guarding our vulnerable shores against Algae-Qeada, Algaetifa. And Algae Sharpton.

Bad news: The Kennedy tarp is still up. Good news: It doubles as an incredible projector screen for showing films of Trump and Epstein.

Baff time is best time

AOC: “The mistake that I made, you know, from all the movies that we see growing up about heroes & villains — is that I thought that fascist takeover attempts were going to be architected by evil geniuses — I was not expecting how unearned, nepotistic, mediocre, & just dumb the architects would be”

Tired: Watching paint dry. 'Wired': Watching paint bob.

HAHAHAHAHA THE LANDLORD PRESIDENT DID THE LANDLORD SPECIAL

just wanted to read a kids’ menu online and look at all this fucking shit lmao

As a business model, hijacking people's lives, work and identities seems awfully self-limiting. To say nothing of deeply immoral for countless reasons. Authors shouldn't have to C&D and/or sue for every one of these individually. It needs to be illegal. This congress won't do it, but states can.

I'm sure this is a terrible thing to say but I couldn't watch Paddington. My soul had been too poisoned by GEICO ads and watching a CGI critter with a soft-spoken English accent just set me off.

60 Minutes confirms Iran is bypassing the US blockade and exporting 100,000 more barrels of oil per day than before the war. Most of it is reportedly going to China.

You don't usually rely on Iran's Fars News Agency for unvarnished truth-telling, but we can make an exception in this case.

I feel I should alert Bluesky to the baby foxes in our yard

Uh, aside from the fact that she was duly convicted and sentenced by a judge, this was entirely a state prosecution. The DoJ shouldn't pay for it even if it was illegitimate.

Post a meme made by you.

I think going to door to door and yelling at people to be more enlightened could work

Xi had the Orange Chicken for lunch.

Michael Bay's My Dinner With Andre

one side wants to install a permanent and grotesquely corrupt christofascist autocracy that sells the country for scrap parts off the back loading dock, the other thinks maybe we should help sick people and do a better job repairing bridges god damn extremists everywhere

Meanwhile, the FT published my letter on this just recently

At our Nursery in Kenya, love looks like a Keeper dragging a mattress onto the lawn so a sleepy orphaned infant elephant can enjoy a rest. With over 300 orphans successfully raised to date, discover how we raise orphans so they can return to the wild: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/projects/orp...

curious how Trump decided to attack NATO right after his long phone call with Putin

Hitachi

*Well, of course that can't possibly be made to occur, because, uhm, some strident assertion about criminal terrorist lesbians and immigrants eating housecats

One toke over the line sweet Jesus, one toke over the line

as I mentioned last month over at Techdirt, this "router ban" was always a shakedown. Brendan Carr and Donald Trump do nothing that's ever genuinely in the public interest. They've broadly undermined cybersecurity. They deserve no benefit of the doubt. Everything is transactional.

Turns out becoming poor and less free is not the awesome idea MAGA thinks it is.

Magyar: “No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions.”

Bunch of people in those replies saying "what do you expect us to do?" while hoping for a popular uprising in Iran to overthrow the government there.

"Assumptions of balanced effort and presumed trust are no longer guaranteed in a post-LLM world... the sender forfeits learning and credibility while the recipient burns effort and loses trust." stopsloppypasta.ai/en/

I guess we're just waiting around to see if this demented psychopath kills everyone: defector.com/i-guess-were...

"What can Democrats do?" When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him. So, you know, that.

Also IF IT IS FRONT PAGE NEWS THAT WE ARE AT WAR WITH IRAN, it is ALSO FRONT PAGE NEWS THAT THE PEOPLE WHO TOOK US TO IRAN ARE TALKING LIKE THIS. The war does not exist in a separate, more serious universe than its leaders! This is the guy who decides if it happens and how many people die!

He is risen

Meanwhile let’s make sure that any breath taken by AOC in between words is transcribed painstakingly!
