There is an ongoing protest every Wednesday in my town organized by retirees.

Just bought a lobster costume lol

Just bring all the American flags to this protest, make it the most red white and blue looking crowd.

A master class from MIT in responding to authoritarian overreach: Your “premise … is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone. … America’s leadership in science & innovation depends on independent thinking & open competition for excellence.

Did you know CVI is an anagram of VCI

For no reason at all just thinking about how an interesting thing is that certain vascular issues can cause dementia

Shutdown chickens want to talk to the manager

Daily duck tariff: it’s 830? Yeah, so? I’m going to bed.

Look, he’s not dead, but even pretending he is hits like crack

Why would you keep taking the cognitive exam if you think you’re fine

Thanks Bernie you stooge

Rates of circumcision are falling and have been since the 80s

Do presidents who pontificate about war crimes in the area they want peace credit for to build hotels and then also send the troops in against their own people usually qualify for the Nobel

Quite a headline www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Shutdown chickens: inspections will continue

Daily duck tariff: bedtime

We gave him the Montreal test because its fun and he likes it, there's no concern there. That section of the report is larger than the others because there's no concern there, that's why he scored so high on all the tests! It just feels like you're not getting it

Its totally normal to get two annual check ups, its not an oversight. They're not covering for anything. Donald Trump is 6'3" and weighs 224 lbs with a blood pressure of 128/74 as his 2025 report indicates. Why would they lie to us

But what about Joe Biden?!

How did I miss this

My grandmother at 90 didn’t do bi annual appts, she saw specialists. If that’s what he’s doing fine, but that’s not what they’re saying.

Picture of health sir!

Have I been doing annuals wrong

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Wow that girlfriend of the founder of antifa must be fucking old man

Of all the people who don't exist, she doesn't exist the most.

JB Pritzker's forceful, defiant response to Trump's threat to jail him confirms the points I tried to make in the piece and thread below about the role of conflict and attention in the public battle over Trump's authoritarian takeover:

Shutdown chickens enjoy snax

Just ate some cheese curds @fakegreekgrill.bsky.social

R’s in retrograde!

Someone looking at all this with a cold eye might say that Miller and Hegseth are seeking control over the power ministries before a Vance ally invokes the 25th Amendment.

One point I made about the shutdown is that a lot of what Schumer and Jeffries are doing is not for YOU, but for annoying beltway journalists who see this as a competition but whose reporting actually matters to their colleagues. Voila: "Republicans in disarray" www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Dems in disarray! Wait shit nope not this time bitches

Kids barbers are saints

When you’re proud of yourself for refusing to go with the dog walker

When you stink

This took too much effort.

Stuart got two baths today and he still smells a little sus.

Daily duck tariff: Halloween boy sleeps

How does she know

Stuart smells suspicious

Shutdown chickens don’t forget

Has someone told him he’s terminal and he should make good with God because this is how he talks when someone has given him advice like with the walking slowly down the stairs lol
