If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense. People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

"Well-functioning constitutional democratic republic" Well, that's the problem right there. #pdx #ice

Like ok not ALL Irish music is political, there's also "Ah shit, the fey" of course, but like, "tally-tally-whack-fol okay the English have stopped paying attention listen up boys" is maybe half of Irish folk music on its own.

Post your favorite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.

maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

Who told you I'd gotten into the 'nip? I don't know what you're talking about. #cats

if the phrase "nitrogen fixing" means nothing to you, I promise you are wildly overestimating how well you'll do in a post-apocalypse

"Make people dependent enough, and then make it shitty" Still giggling at this hilarious video from the Norwegian Consumer Council "A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator" which seems a perfect embodiment of Silicon Valley and tech generally these days www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4Up...

YOU ASKED FOR THIS! Downfall. Kristi Noem Edition:

it feels like my country is an assembly line for producing crimes against humanity which no one will ever punish, or even bother to pretend caring about, and it's making me crazy

If hormones, or puberty blockers, were so dangerous, nobody would be allowed them. That some people are and that trans kids can even, notionally at least, stay on them if already prescribed, tells you all you need to know.

this is like the thesis statement of our times

The Trump era has given rise to this whole new emotion of being simultaneously angry over how evil something is and how stupid it is, which I'm sure the Germans have a word for but I don't.

It looks like the war on Iran is going about as poorly as the regime’s previous wars against Chicago, Minnesota and Los Angeles.

America, come on, it's a little on the nose to have DST steal an hour from everyone's morning and thus make International Women's Day the shortest day of the year.

When all the other time travelers are busy killing Hitler, I’m gonna take out Laura Ingalls Wilder.

My first thought was, "Scooby-doo?" And then I remembered that Scooby is a Great Dane.

Arrest the goddamn president

Picard creativity tip: By all means, draw from your own experience, but also find enough empathy to draw from the experiences of others.

Happy International Women's Day. 🏴

If you feed your cat Fancy Feast wet food + they've been throwing up, switch brands. 4 of ours started throwing up recently (2 had to go to urgent care). They'd been eating Fancy Feast; we switched their food out, they're fine now. I'm seeing tons of reports of the same thing with FF in last 3 weeks

Happy International Women's Day. 🖖🏻

Guys, I have never had an author be so kind in my life. I recently mentioned my dismay at the fact that the paperback edition of "Between Two Rivers" by @moudhy.bsky.social wouldn't be available in the US until September - and she sent me a signed copy! 😱 I am beside myself with joy about this.

#pdx if you need something to do Sunday afternoon, may I recommend Clackamas Community College's production of "Witch" by Jen Silverman? Saw it today and enjoyed it! Tomorrow is the last performance, link below. #theater #oregoncity #ccc

Short answer: no. Long answer: he doesn't care.

I'm intrigued.....

Costco gas is backed up like whoa. First decent weather weekend or people anxious about gas prices? Thanks, Trump.

Pretty sure bombing an elementary school is a declaration of war, my dude.

Pretty sure Claude doesn't experience existential dread.

Wait, let me find a little house with a garden first....

This Kara 'El mayarah' Zor-El erasure.

Saw the "OMG why are 40 & 50 year old people even ON social media?" post & my first thought was, "What do you think *should* happen, kid? Should we all just do a Logan's Run?" & then I realized this child has never once in their life heard of Logan's Run & I turned to dust & my ghost is typing this.

Coffee, straight out of my nose.

I've been listening to an audiobook about airships (zeppelins, dirigibles, or blimps, depending on locale), and how they NEVER really worked, but governments had invested so much in them that they were determined to MAKE them work, wasting fortunes & years & lives This post is not about airships

Politically...correct...wars?

This is a beautiful portrait from the inimitable @ricksteves.bsky.social of the people who are suffering in Iran, both under its theocracy and from our nation's warmongering.

Between the murder of the schoolgirls and the murder of sailors peaceably traveling through international waters, now would be a great time for American servicepeople to STOP FOLLOWING ILLEGAL ORDERS.

Why would we give this power to the president, who is a domestic person who knowingly engaged in such activities with #Epstein?

No, and fuck you.

No.

Um, what? You want to make it federally illegal for local transportation organizations to offer no-fare services? Why is this something that the federal government should be stepping into? What business is it of yours if cities want to do this? #pdx, time to bring back Fareless Square!

War is the worst of human endeavors, but the reason militaries do not fight by pure thuggery, as the United States now does, is that it ultimately puts us more at risk and defiles us as a country. What are we even fighting for if we are nothing but the biggest bully on the block?

My school district is being forced to lay off several educators and a librarian because of a $500,000 budget gap, or roughly the amount spent on the war while I was typing this post.

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.
