A government of shallow, glib sociopaths striving to get an "Attaboy" from other shallow, glib sociopaths.

All I could think is what kind of kickback was he getting that Flock will take away for him to be so angry about it. The anthem doesn't say - Land of the free, home of the surveilled. These people should be gifted a copy of The Circle by Dave Eggers

Gov Jared Polis told a Colorado Sun event that his decision to give clemency to Tina Peters "will be remembered fondly." He was later interrupted by protesters carrying an enormous banner reading EAT SHIT POLIS coloradosun.com/2026/05/19/j...

Donald Trump is stealing $1.776 billion from taxpayers to enrich himself and reward his political allies. This isn't subtle. It's corruption in plain sight.

CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS: “You must follow what my God said.” REST OF AMERICA: “You first.”

And what happened in Colorado? Oh yea, @colorado.gov (Polis) bent the knee to "king trump" and granted clemency to Tina Peters while continuing to fix our deficit by cutting benefits, workforce and rural program reductions and reducing education grants. All "tough" decisions.

Another example of critical infrastructure sitting online that shouldn't be:

Two things: 1. Amazing kid. I'd like to think I would have this level of "this will not define me", but I also don't want to find out. 2. Apple's ability to market a feature and make it about people and not product. They've mastered Sinek's golden circle. www.apple.com/education/co...

The pool party at :10 made me smile.

Ahhh, so you are describing organized religion. 🫠

Since Polis has chosen to bend the knee, he has no place in office. She shows no remorse, would do it again a heartbeat. She is by far the least deserving of clemency.

No, Tina Peters should not have had her sentence commuted. She broke Colorado laws and was convicted by a jury of her peers. Here’s my statement:

New: No matter what he runs for next, he will not be getting my vote. I'd say I hope he ends up as a fry cook at McDonald's but they're good people and they don't deserve that disrespect. Wonder what the payoff was to sell out.

No, YOU can’t walk through the streets without people telling you to piss off.

Watch this if you've never heard it laid out just why SNAP for low income people is a plus for the economy and, no, that it isn't responsible for higher food prices for the rest of us.

Absolutely staggering thing to say out loud.

Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

Good morning.

The Tennessee Speaker of the House will remove all Democratic Caucus members from standing committees and subcommittees as punishment for their redistricting protests. Democracy dies in Nashville.

OK, this is kind of amazing?

Wannabe dictator says what? I am consistently confounded by so called "freedom loving, red blooded Americans" and how they can square their "beliefs" with their absolute servitude to this man. He's not about making America great again. He's not about freedom. He's about himself and power.

You know how they throw the ball into the crowd after they win a game? That's not allowed in bowling. I know this now.

This article is 2 days old, but honestly if I worked in the federal government right now I wouldn't "study" anything. Trump is going to do whatever the hell he wants anyway. If there's money, money will win over study and data. The decision was already made by someone's wallet.

When Donald's stupid, tacky ballroom was estimated to cost $200 million and be privately funded: Donald planned to pocket anything over the actual cost. He then raised the estimate to $400 million to account for this corruption. Now, he wants taxpayers to pay $1 billion so he can pocket even more.

"Senate Republicans unveiled a $72 billion spending package late Monday night, and onlookers were left stunned after discovering a $1 billion line item related to President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project" www.rawstory.com/white-house-...

OMFG

Reminder that Florida voters passed a Constitutional amendment in 2010 banning gerrymandering with 62% of the vote and the Florida GOP just stole the courts and ignored it. By contrast retaliatory gerrymanders in CA and VA passed with the approval of voters. Yet media portrays them as equivalent.

The SC won't hold him accountable, Congress won't hold him accountable and he's just making shit up at this point. The United States Government is just a game of Calvinball. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lnn_...

"illegals get free health care" sounds like it has no basis in reality until you figure out that it has a kernel of truth - "the poor, citizen or not, are treated in ERs because hospitals can't just let them die but also can't pay" - and a dumb thought instantly becomes a morally grotesque position.

I, too, am useless and make bad decisions, if anyone would like to give me hundreds of millions of dollars

New by me - Microsoft Vibing. A very strange fake open source project published by Microsoft employees, which gathers screenshots and voice recordings of users with unique machine identifiers attached. Not sure how this one has happened. doublepulsar.com/microsoft-vi...

Ah yes. The "LALALALALALALA ... I can't hear you" method of "winning". FDT FTW.

Mainstream media has the f-ing balls to ask the Democrats if they think they should "tone down the rhetoric". You don't get someone to negotiations by poking them with a fucking stick every 10 seconds. We played that game as kids and eventually the stick kid got his ass kicked.

Quick thought on Gemini Workspace Intelligence: If Google can actually make this work reliably it's an absolute win. Not needing a personal knowledge base, and being able ask when did we do X contract or buy Y thing, who championed Z product, beats every other AI tool for this purpose.

How have these people survived to this age?? Jose, he literally campaigned on "I made no mistakes and I'm going to be worse than last time"

Pain at the pump: According to the latest data from AAA, US consumers are now paying a national average of $4.176 per gallon for regular gas (petrol)—a notable jump amid continued sharp regional price disparities. #economy #markets #gas #oil #inflation

Huh. Did they forget to sweep the forest? /s Maybe someone should divert a river or something. /s Thank you to the heros doing the hard work to get these under control.

Trump: I'm going to destroy an entire civilization. We're going to keep killing people in boats. Senator Kelly should be executed. ICE protesters are domestic terrorists. Immigrants are vermin. Raskin: Donald Trump is bad for this country. Bash: Do you regret your heated rhetoric, Rep. Raskin?

It's Friday. Actual command sent to Claude Cowork. Calm down. It's just cleaning up 6 months of download folder laziness. I already got all the important stuff out. Felt good though. Sometimes I just want it to do the thing I asked and get on with it.

Deleted the Weekend at Bernie's post. I still think the concept is there (Trump isn't all right and he's being propped up in general), but the image was fake. Watched the video. He processes with his eyes closed. He was nodding, and bloviated at opportune times. He wasn't napping.
