my "we are engaged in a legal enterprise" shirt has a lot of people asking questions already answered by my shirt

This is a reversal of 1970s late night ads from home furnishings stores where they had lower prices but here Trump is raising the price.

something that's cool with this admin is basically anyone can say whatever about anything because there is no coherent messaging control and so you get the Treasury Secretary undercutting Article 5 while SECSTATE/APNSA talks about economic policy and the commerce secretary announces new visas

Easy way to beat the loneliness epidemic is to go join a curling club. Once you get good enough, people are always phoning you to spare for 9 PM games. Heck, I met my wife curling. Incidentally, Saint Lambert Open House is tonight for those of you on the South Shore.

This is how 7-D chess is played, sheeple. Lol, lmao.

It’s time for American Agribusiness to do what it does best and invent really unhealthy yet tasty soy based snacks

CHOTINER: And you thought it would be funny to do a fake interview by me? ME: A lot of people have, so CHOTINER: You were looking for engagement? ME: Well, to make someone laugh I guess CHOTINER: How many likes and reposts did it get? ME: That's, uh, not really the metric...look can we start over

Having just done a WWII dad post, I saw this. I am just asking internet leftists to read one (1) real modern book about the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact that includes discussion of the secret annexes. For bonus points, also cover military testing and Soviet resource shipments to Nazi Germany.

if you want the actual image

I don't think how much of society is held together by guys and gals like this.

Omg I'm rich! Silver in my hair, gold in my teeth, crystals in my kidneys and an abundant supply of natural gas. Never thought I could accumulate such wealth.

CHOTINER: You recently wrote “It’s So OVer.” Can you elaborate? ME: Yes. Of course. By writing that, I sought to diagnose and provoke a conversation about the current moment. CHOTINER: But a few days later you wrote “We’re So Back.” Can you explain the contradiction? ME: Yeah well uhh you see—

The only scrambling now is to avoid blame for a shutdown, not to actually avoid a shutdown. At the last minute who knows but I’d put the odds of it at 85%.

If you read to the end of the article, the origin of the 1000% appears to be that there’s a drug where the US price is 10x (1000%) that in Australia. As suspected, there’s a factoid buried underneath his rambling, but nobody around him corrects his misstatements (and/or Trump is mocking his base).

Trump: "We've got a lot of stupid people in this country running things."

what it feels like on contemporary conservative MilTwitter with its obsession on lethality:

Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by Trumpian incompetence. But it is worth noting that, since 1975, the dollar has only seen a steeper year-to-date decline during the deliberate depreciation that followed the 1985 Plaza Accord:

This sounds like a Victoria 3 run gone very wrong.

Busy and missed the Bomber win earlier. Also missed the first half of the Elks/Tiger-Cat game. 6 lead changes in the first half, and another in the second drive of the second half. That’s the CFL at its finest.

I’m somewhat curious about the anatomical need to take a big step back first.

Argentina: the country where every economic theory goes to die.

Started watching the Alouettes/Argos game. Possibly the biggest game of the weekend. Argonauts getting killed by defense pass interference calls. TD Montreal!

In Magic the Gathering, the upcoming set is Spiderman. But they couldn’t get digital rights, so Magic Arena has different cards for the set. One digital card - Fleem - is turning into a cult hero on the Arena reddit. If a Disney boycott hit the Spiderman set, Fleem is the big winner.

Fucking awesome

I just heard the Tom Jones/Pretenders cover of “Lust for Life” for the first time and it made me a Happy Brian.
