It is, in fact, not 2025.

"America was always evil" is a logical and rhetorical dead end. it concedes everything to our opponents. it allows them to take the mantle of our nation - and let's be frank here, most Americans want to believe in America. our history is the Trail of Tears, yes. it is also the March for Freedom.

Look for the helpers. Faced with evil, watch for the decent people standing against it.

these are the softest little panda bears who have ever attempted a violent consolidation of power in human history. this is a good thing

The moderate position is indeed The Hague

this blood isn’t for oil. it’s just for nothing. nothing but toxic masculinity and fragile egos destroying lives for their gratification. we will hold them accountable.

If I could find my picture of my USB-C to TNC adapter I'd be posting it right about now

I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*

NOTHING BAD CAN HAPPEN IT CAN ONLY GOOD HAPPEN

issuing correction on a previous post of mine, regarding the US President Ronald Reagan. you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to him"

You don’t have to fly or use the US flag if you don’t personally want to, but you also need to stop this bizarre and counterproductive habit of acting like everyone who does is a cop or a fascist.

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot

This Campaign in a nutshell

"PS- The kid in your class who knows the answer to every question but zones out and does not do the homework is neurodivergent and needs accomodations" written on the bottom of every teaching certificate. This is my dream

"weird, but not like Al"

when they go low we paint a big black half circle on a boulder so it looks like a tunnel and watch their dumb asses run into it with a CLANGGG like Looney Tunes characters

Hi. I was away for a week. Hope everyone is doing well. There are people who believe the reasons for my absence are shameful and disqualifying for full participation on public life. Those people can snort my taint. If you need help, get help. Don’t wait to be in crisis. You can feel better. /1

So of course NOAA and the NWS are listed by name as being on the chopping block for Project 2025. To be eliminated and stripped for parts. Because they have the audacity to report that yes, climate change is a thing and is happening, because we can observe it.

Vote. Also knock on doors, volunteer for campaingns. Get involved locally. Go to meetings, work with others, make your own community safer, better, more organized. Know what's on school board agendas. Show up and comment. Give politicians a reason to know what you want, and why they should care.

there's nothing wrong with having feelings of despair and futility, but i think it's most responsible to avoid airing all that out in public to the greatest extent possible right now. we need to cultivate a vengeance-driven, enraged espirit de corps right now, because we need people to fight

How am I supposed to explain health insurance to my children. How do I look them in the eye and tell them about depravity and perversion such as "deductibles"

Watching Google shutter things that actually worked, like Google Play Music, and now Google Podcasts, to turn them into YouTube Music is like someone coming into your kitchen who takes away your blender and kettle then lets you know you'll now only be able to boil water or blend things in your car.

I'm at a restaurant and they just had a trivia question about "what can't you shout in a crowded theater" and I think @kenwhite.bsky.social should know about this

ah, the joy of finally reproducing weird bugs and staring helplessly and waving your hands in bafflement, because what the fuck that is not how anything. what.

Just in case you are not aware, a big lighted 'X', in pilot parlance, means "Runway closed. Do not land." Kind of an odd message from someone who wants to draw in new users. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://otwsafety.com/lighted-x-runway-closure-marker/

Currently binging The West Wing (thanks @questauthority.bsky.social for that) and why does this article sound like it's literally Bartlett?
