I just spent a full minute bouncing my eyes back and forth between "62-year-old Kansas man" and "18-year-old ex-wife"

Adventure time (over)

I must question if these defense contractors are reliable partners for the US. CEO fantasizes about spraying fentanyl-laced piss on analysts. Founder defends illegal boat strikes because they're "masculine." Not to mention all the things Peter Thiel is up to. The right people for long-term trust?

“A grand total of zero — zero — grand jurors agreed to return the proposed indictment. As a former federal prosecutor, I have never heard of this actually happening before.” www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

holy shit. hell of an analysis

HE KILLED ME *TWICE*.

The citizens yearn for car-free streets 😌

Josh Hawley and JD Vance do not believe this Josh Hawley and JD Vance do not believe this Josh Hawley and JD Vance do not believe this They are lying to get votes for oligarchy

Ted literally chased it down.

I love Chicago

Current* conditions near Chicago, IL:

At this point, which law-enforcement agencies AREN’T corrupt?

if you live in Chicago and you haven't been outside today this is an ORDER go out into the sunlight RIGHT NOW

Cached US #KindleBookGiveaway: 10 copies of Scarlet by @genevievecogman.bsky.social, to complement the UK/IE one I gave out earlier today that still has 3 left.

This city is home to people of countless faiths. But no matter what you believe, one thing unites us: we are all New Yorkers. We will not allow ICE to terrorize our neighbors. youtu.be/uoU9Img_B40

San Diego has an insane number of these "cross the street three times to cross one way" one-sided intersections. Just extremely hostile to anyone on foot

Donald Trump is "the Epstein Administration." Pass it on

Measles is one of those nightmare diseases that, if it hadn't been killing people for hundreds of years, people would ABSOLUTELY be pushing conspiracy theories about right now. It's too nasty in too many different directions to seem natural. But oh, boy, it sure is.

Common sense tells us, and a reading of the last thirty freaking years of Senate history confirms, that Republicans will never "go along" with anything Democrats care about. Even this idiot doesn't believe the nonsense he's spewing. He's useless and should resign his leadership.

Learning that Platner covered his Nazi tattoo with some “norse-celtic” bullshit is not convincing me that he was ever getting any tattoos “accidentally”

the FBI deleted this tweet might’ve hit a little close to home for the director

tl;dr: CBP fired a new weapon into domestic airspace that the FAA had previously warned posed grave risk to human life. It did so without warning to FAA and without restricting airspace. FAA restricted airspace in response. White House overruled them. The target turned out to be a party balloon.

Bush stealing the election and 9/11 happening was the one-two punch that really fucked up this whole century. Trying to come to terms with the fact that my life peaked when I was 10.

Love this. The PNW is so pretty

lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard

Just bought daywalkser's lamet by Lilith Saintcrow. Looking forward to the read.

Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.    Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.     Watch the full video at Youtube.com/nycmayorsoffice

In case it disappears lol

This rules. I love how delighted they all look!

We must never normalize these ongoing attacks by DHS agents on the people they supposedly protect. Trump, Vance, Miller, & Noem have created a culture of impunity that has led to rampant abuse and killings. Not one more dime for this lawlessness.

In his twisted, corrupted mind, everyone cheats. He's so convinced of this that he tries to expose the Democrats' deception and is furious that he can't. Because that means his opponents are cheating and hiding it better than he can. 2019:

I am sick & fucking tired of getting run off the road on 2 lane roads with little to no shoulder by oncoming drivers passing oncoming traffic while I'm there. Doubly so when there is a fucking double yellow line!🤬 This is happening way too often, you impatient fucks! SLOW DOWN! #BikeSky

This morning, I got distracted while eating cheese because I remembered that the laughing cow is named Elsie and is married to Elmer the cow on the glue labels. To doublecheck that I hadn’t hallucinated that, I looked it up and fell down a dark internet rabbit hole.

Cached US #KindleBookGiveaway, courtesy of @annamcduff.bsky.social: 6 copies of Too Like the Lightning: Book One of Terra Ignota by @adapalmer.bsky.social, which I *have* and *have read*, and which was very very well-received.

today I heard a ceo talk about just wanted to see 1% improvement per day. This prompted me to create this graph to illustrate why business speak pisses me off.

Idea 💡 A YouTube urbanism channel where Statler and Waldorf roast horrible urban infrastructure design.

was Pam Bondi trying to un-hibernate Auto-Tune the News?

Not only did they murder hundreds of thousands of people. They also stole the money.

They still got it

Ten years ago today, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died, kicking off one of the greatest crimes committed against democracy when Mitch McConnell invented a pretense to deny President Obama a nominee, and everyone in power and media just shrugged and acted like he could do that.

The wizard rubs a healing balm smelling of coconut into his right knee.

Oregon Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden introduced a bill that would levy a 100% tax on any payout the president receives from his lawsuit over leaked tax information that showed he paid just $750 in federal income tax one year.

All righty, folks. Today is the LAST DAY to order the special edition of ONLY BAD OPTIONS and my other books as part of my winter book campaign. 👉 To otder, fill out the Google form: forms.gle/VpTLYjijRJef... I will probably do another signed book campaign in the spring. Thanks! ❤ #books #authors

I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but @devonmonk.com's Ordinary Magic, the first book in the eponymous series, is currently free on US Kindle. I recommend the series a *lot*, although my favorite is Rock Paper Scissors. Since it's free, I can't get copies to give out.

When I talk to SDOT about pedestrian plazas, they often fret over "who's going to pick up the trash?"

A 16 year old San Antonio kid was essentially killed by a football coaching staff during an offseason workout. Players were subjected to punishment drills and repeatedly noted the distress of their teammate, to no avail. After he collapsed, the rest of the team was compelled to continue the drill.

It’s insane they haven’t ruled against the tariffs yet. It’s mad king shit. Our constitution is very clear: only Congress has the power of taxation.
