Being a submariner has prepared me for this better than most, I think. I VOLUNTEER

RETVRN TO BBS

An eye for an eye is the moderate position

Oh goddammit I didn’t need to have An Emotion right now.

We all died during COVID and this is hell.

Setting my Teams Away status to “Teleported to Waffle House”

Started playing “Vagrus: The Riven Realms” and mmmmm, the feel of an old-style “walls o’ text” CRPG. Haven’t even gotten out of the tutorial mini-campaign and I’m hooked.

Nothing fancy tonight, but smoothie bowls are a slightly uprated version of the classic "cereal for dinner," and even tastier...

We used to be a country

Eleanor Roosevelt was SEVENTY TWO and ready to slap leather with the Klukkers. Remember everyone: "Punch Nazis" was ALWAYS the moderate option

Depluralize a movie: The Man Karamazov

Fuckin’ WOULD

Recalling for no reason the time that someone got in trouble for leaving in the placeholder headline that honestly sums up the entire last fucking decade.

HE IS RIS-oooooohhhhhhhh that was a HARD hit, he’s right back down again!

Christ, this one hurts

Hm. 1) How many jobs can one person hold, anyway? 2) Oh, the USA that can't seem to win any cases? Pro choice 3) YES, PLEASE THIS. If this country is going to implode, at least it should be in the funniest manner possible. Habbas can't do ANYTHING without people hearing "Yakety Sax" in their heads

Add food to a movie name A documentary about the history of birria: GoatBasters

Well, those turned out fairly well! I DO need to get some practice with stretching/tossing the dough. Rolling it out gives it a significantly different crumb. And I also need to find a dough recipe for Chicago tavern style!

Agenda for the evening: Homemade individual pizzas with the upstairs neighbors and then some movies or gaming...

Love when a ~middle-age mom friend of mine talks about going and seeing “Project Hail Mary” and says

ok but would a dying bluesky look like *this*

It's remarkable how rapidly institutions crumble from within when afflicted with utterly useless, venal leadership.

ICE edit

IMO the single most lacking skill in the corporate world is the ability to lead and faciliate an effective meeting. Everyone pisses and moans about meetings, but when they’re run properly, with purpose and direction, they’re fine. It’s just that hardly anyone DOES that.

Even the Royal Navy in the 18th century, when you had to take an oath rejecting the Pope to be a commissioned officer, permitted the Catholics on board to hold their own services.

Your average Republican is manifestly a threat to the world and their fellow citizens. They cannot be allowed to retain any political power, for all our sakes’.

Why should we care about the norms of due process for people who are trying to kill us with their every action?

Gonna be interesting watching interim AG Todd Blanche transfer Ghislane Maxwell again...this time to the Lincoln Bedroom, no doubt.

my soul has left my body

It makes more sense when you remember that Hegseth is incapable of achieving orgasm without an American servicemember dying.

I look forward to the day when none of Harmeet Dhillon’s relatives admit to knowing her. Every one of Trump’s lickspittles should die alone, unloved, and be buried in an outhouse tank, so we can shit on them for all eternity.

These are people who think that Cliff’s Notes are literary analysis.

Everything is so fucking stupid.

Luv 2 C a piece of shit publicly humiliated by their boss, who is also a piece of shit.

Anyone wanna see the funniest 12 seconds that include a murder?

Taking this headline back in time to 1985 and passing it around to give strokes to everyone I encounter.

Lindsay's welcome to go show the last true measure of devotion any time the blood-gargling chickenhawk wants. In fact, hurry the fuck up, pal. We've all been waiting for a good long while.

Trump is orders of magnitude more turbulent than the worst priest Henry II could possibly imagjne.

This shot of the core stage separation is incredible

Republicans are constantly horny to torture children. It is their single most consistent principle.

If you'd like to follow along with the #Artemis II launch, NASA has a live blog here: www.nasa.gov/blogs/missio... and you can watch the official broadcast on the NASA site here: plus.nasa.gov/scheduled-vi... or on YouTube here: www.youtube.com/live/Tf_UjBM...

Read about the 1994 Fairchild AFB B-52 crash, and in particular the parts about how the command permissiveness created the conditions for this, which led to at least one family watching their father and spouse die in a ball of flames in front of their eyes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_Fa...

Oh man, you got me! Good April Fools’ prank, folks! That’s a ton of commitment, I gotta say…setting up all the way back in 2015 the ol’ “I tricked you into committing national suicide, LMAO” gag! Haha, boy is my face red for not seeing it coming!

FUCK this piece of shit overpromoted major. Safety regs, ESPECIALLY safety regs pertaining to civilians, are written in blood. We’re about to see a bunch of them overwritten, too. Hegseth’s clearly not content to kill people overseas, he’s bound and determined to do so here as well.

SCROODLY DOODLY DOO

Really jazzed that while we wait for SCOTUS and Chief Justice Roberts to finish strangling the Voting Rights Act to death, we have Trump trying to take over election administration by EO so he can suppress Democratic votes. Really top-notch juxtaposition, writers

I'm only culturally human, not a practicing one
