"Approximately" with 15 decimal places of accuracy has been making me giggle ever since I got this email.

I so want this to be true

As always the greatest possible display of American might and power, for better or worse, is that the United States Armed Forces can deploy a fully operational Burger King and Starbucks to anywhere on the globe within 48 hours, *and keep it running*.

Pete Hegseth is the Ted Cruz of Jeb Bushes.

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

Say, has our general met the enemy?

you can't flop sweat in here, this is the war dept

"The Royal Navy was prohibited from ruling over land, so the land was commissioned as a ship."

While I’m at it: You guys know what to do!! youtu.be/jPCJIB1f7jk?...

“Am I watching things on television that are different from what’s happening?” What a remarkable statement from the single most powerful individual in the world. Fascinating look into a person’s mind.

This is very funny thing for a President to say, but it's a truly fucking bananas thing for a President to voluntarily tell everyone he said.

At this point, any Democrat who votes to keep this government open without extracting very serious concessions — RFK’s resignation, ICE rollback, Epstein Files release, etc — will absolutely face a primary challenger who will set fundraising records.

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

Donald Trump is using federal agents to stoke fear and violate constitutional rights — all with the aims of expanding his control and sending military troops to our cities. It’s unlawful and un-American. We must all stand up and speak out against fanning the flames of violence.

Going to make some kickass Bloody Mary is a week or two.

Fall is my favorite season.

I'm sorry that hetero men are lonely but I'm curious how many of them have tried simply not being fucking terrible

Dave Matthews has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

Van Hollen and Pritzker and Walz should all throw their hats in the ring and pull a Lander/Mamdani on Newsom in the primaries, just unite in a single solid message of "not that guy"

REMINDER.

What leftist writes "anti ice" and not fuck ice

Des Moines has you all beat

It seems as if half the law enforcement in the area is on Ellsworth just south of the Ypsilanti/Pittsfield Meijer (the pictures are from the Meijer parking lot looking south at Ellsworth, with several cop cars with lights flashing parked. The exit from the lot onto Ellsworth is blocked)

🎶I left my spykit in El Segundo, gotta get it got got to get it🎶

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

It's all fun and games until a cop handles a Tylenol gelcap with no gloves and within seconds their socks are bothering them.

He's so weak that he couldn't even shut down an evening comedy show. W E A K. Also: look what happens when we push back together.

regardless of the details I think it’s important to spin the Kimmel thing as a win Trump is weak, he’s unpopular, he massively overreached and inspired enough of a revolt that Disney had to backtrack immediately he wants to paint himself as an all-powerful dictator, paint him as a loser who sucks

I am now officially "not going to a concert unless I have a designated place to sit" years old.

No. It was on the Senate calendar and any Democrat could have gone to the floor and objected. That they did not was a choice. 1/2

lmao michigan’s workaround on the new covid vax restrictions is to declare that not having gotten a dose of the lasted covid vaccine is an underlying condition that puts one at high risk, that rules www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/inside...

The pizza delivery dude just told me "I know you like our sauces so I threw in some extra ranch" and it's a 12oz squeeze bottle of shop-made ranch. This is the highest honor you can give to a Midwesterner. I would follow that man to Hell and back.

RISC architecture is going to change everything.

Happy Birthday to me, thank you for the mug, you weirdos

Tolerance is a social contract. It only works if both people are cooperating. Once one refuses, the contract is broken and the extension of tolerance MUST be retracted in the same way that you can cooperate with a bank until they steal your money. Then you must stop doing business with that bank.

A timely reminder: tolerance is extended as part of the social contract. When people violate the contract (for example, if they advocate killing you) the contract is void, and they need not be tolerated. It's not hypocrisy when we preach tolerance, but are intolerant of (for example) fascists.

We are not in a tech race with China. We are sitting down and drinking a Gatorade while China does laps around us with solar innovation and electric vehicles. Dumping everything into "NFTs the Sequel" will not help us.

I remember someone saying that's how you know AI can never truly be a writer. If you tell AI to stop using em dashes, it'll stop. If you tell a writer to stop using em dashes they'll tell you to fuck yourself and that you can pry them from their cold, dead fingers.
