Hey @adamparkhomenko.bsky.social @kenklippenstein.bsky.social I did a little math...

We don't even tally the cost of military operations anymore. As a data/finance wonk, I figured I'd do a crude order-of-magnitude estimate for the overall U.S. military effort tied to the Venezuela operation. (1/x)

First look at Maduro's court-appointed attorney

Has anyone else noted that Mar-A-Lago sounds like someone trying to say "Barcolounger" with a cock in their mouth?

I'd like to point out that the French Revolution also did a lot to "depress low-skilled employment", to quote a Bezosism.

One of the more depressing evolutions of mass media is the decline of CNN, as it slowly self-gelded from the Bernie Shaw days into the feckless paywalled wishy-washy wet fart it is now.

To understand how absurd Trump’s blanket Jan. 6 pardon looks next to how his administration is currently “enforcing the law,” consider this: the suspect in the D.C. pipe-bomb case allegedly planted the devices between 7:34 p.m. and 8:18 p.m. on January 5, 2021. (1/x)

In a shockingly fitting salute to 2025, Pantone gives its Color of the Year to a shade of white.

I like to play the game of taking quotes by GOP members mouring Charlie Kirk and pretend they're talking about victims of school shootings

As of today, Daria Morgendorffer would be 43 years old.

Operation Midnight Hammer? More like Operation Trump's Penis. Not long enough to reach the objective, less impressive and a softer impact than advertised, and ultimately costs everyone a shitload of money to deal with.

Actual @cnn.com headline: "3 climbers fell 400 feet to their death. 1 climber survived and drove to a pay phone" ... I don't even know where to start.

Nothing spells valueless virtue signaling more than people telling me what to be critical about and chastising me for not having the exact same priority focus as they do. Guess what Goldilocks, I've got my own priorities.

Wouldn't it be something if someone, on the way out of the Department of Education, erased the trillions of student loan records held?

If the major press outlets operated in 1942 Germany, they'd be more concerned about Leni Riefenstahl's hairstyle and what shoes she's wearing than Hitler.

The rest of the world needs to do three things: 1) Sell off U.S. Treasuries, causing the debt interest rate to skyrocket. 2) Replace USD reserve status with the Euro. Inflation skyrockets. 3) Downgrade US credit rating to "junk", making borrowing super-expensive.

The Achilles heel of liberal America is the lack of education around health science. There is far too much homeopathy, woo, and distrust of actual science for universal Healthcare to be embraced, and it's depressing.

I'm just exhausted. Every day things get worse, instead of better. This world sucks, and it's never going to improve. Now I am facing the last part of my life, and honestly, driving off a bridge sounds pretty, pretty... pretty good.

If Windows 11 laptops were furniture, they would be a self-making bed that takes all night to complete, depriving the owner of sleep.

I want to start a Celine Dion themed all-male stripper revue show called Knights of Endless Pleasure

Fox politicizing the super bowl by airing a political interview with Trump is the last straw. Fuck Fox. Fuck Trump, and Fuck the @nflbluesky.bsky.social .

Serious question: We clearly live in a "post-truth" world, where everyone, if they are not lying, are assumed to be doing so, since lying is now fully acceptable with modern culture. What's the end game?

If I wrote a children's drama book the villain's last name would be Drysocket.

I KNEW IT

There is a nonzero chance that payouts from lawsuits by the federal government will eclipse defense spending by the end of 2027.

So how soon will Trump nuke San Francisco and order all the Democrats into ovens?

Strongly worded letters to Hitler being drafted by Chamberlain and sent by passenger pigeon...

Anyone remember our boy about 1000 years ago with access to classified info that blew up a Cybertruck in front of Trump Tower?

@cnn.com you had me at NTSB gives up

Yes this seems like a perfectly good use of my subscription dollars @cnn.com

I want a cinematic universe where all Woody Harrelson movies are in it. Natural Born Killers and Kingpin? I can see it.

Idea for @bobsburgersfox.bsky.social business neighbor: an appliance store called "What's So Funny about Pizza Oven Understanding"

"Gaza could be rebuilt “better than Monaco. It has the best location in the Middle East, the best water, the best everything.” Source: www.politico.eu/article/gaza... Occam's Razor for the Oligarch: He wants the fucking real estate.

Not counting statewide or other area-wide FEMA disaster relief responses, Since 1953, FEMA has responded to over 52000 requests for aid in counties that voted for Trump in 2024, and only 8500 or so that voted for Biden.

Not to be pedantic, but wasn't Shorty already low?
