The automated sexual abuse that Musk is doing right now should be national news. People should be going to prison for this shit. The logical conclusion to generative image creation and the internet, pure public automatic violence. Every Pizzagate fear just out in the open.

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

What the everloving fuck is wrong with these people?

People give Maine a lot of crap but we are really good at vaccination!

My dad passed away some years back and I sometimes wonder how I’ll feel if my mom starts dating again but I’m confident that if she does she’ll clear the bar of “not marrying a would-be presidential assassin.”

<Arya stark voice> Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray

Worst Smoove B column ever.

I don't know the facts here. Having said that, in my 20s, just out of school, I had a bit of the "it's ok if brilliant people are bullies" syndrome. I'm sorry, I was dumb. No, nope, nyet. It costs nothing to be civil and pleasant even when you disagree or need to correct a subordinate.

When this is over and sane people are back in charge, we are mandating vaccines so hard.

We did it, Derrick!

This Pope slaps

Serious credit to Gov. Pritzker, Mayor Johnson, and a bunch of people in and around Chicago who stood up to illegal, unjust, un-American, rights-violating anti-immigrant (or sometimes just anti-brown-people) federal operations. If they weakly acquiesce like some others did, courts don’t take it up.

Everyone in the government that was involved in sending American people to the CECOT concentration camp must go to prison. Prison. There must be consequences. Starting with Kristi Noem.

Shades of the Monty Python “Bruces” sketch.

Bari’s complaint was “there’s nothing new here” and while that’s untrue it’s also irrelevant “we intentionally sent people to be tortured in a hellhole and bragged about it and The Hague is too good for everyone involved” is a story that simply cannot be told enough

Tapping the "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever" sign again.

Hard agree

This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment. It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

The "toddler-in-chief" thing is not an exaggeration. It is literally the behavior of a small child; it's like when my kids want to win chutes and ladders by cheating, because they don't yet grasp that winning a silly game by cheating is pointless. But he's the goddamn president!

It’s really strange the vice president of the United States is a white supremacist, who says white supremacist slogans, who publicly praises and follows the work of white supremacists, and it’s simply not mentioned or discussed in political media

Ball don’t lie

kinda starting to worry that an American Papacy has had unexpected ramifications for sports outcomes I care about

the reason you think American society used to be homogenous is that the version of Wokeness we did for Italians and the Irish won a victory too large for you to see from the inside

There’s no limit to the hell I wish on everyone involved in this.

Bumping this old meme in honor of my fearsome pit bull who has awoken at 4am scared of house sounds several nights in the past week and insisted on pacing around our bed panting unless someone is constantly petting her.

“they” is a person here and should face whatever law we can bring to bear, civil or criminal.

I’m up for tearing down the ballroom but would also accept turning it into a facility that hosts naturalization ceremonies literally 24-7-365.

The Gary Bearies

Whatever happens next, remember we wouldn’t be in this position if Senate Republicans had done their job and convicted Trump following his well-deserved impeachments.

On U.S. soil, the worst antisemitic massacre in living memory was perpetrated by one of Vance's white nationalist fellow travelers, who was specifically incensed about the Jewish community providing aid to refugees and asylum seekers.

Apple bottom genes Cleavage with the fur (With the fur) All the macrophages lookin at her

The persuasive power of originalism is unmatched.

He is a truly odious man devoid of any redeeming qualities.

utterly incapable of grace

I’ve been scared of killing my brain function with GPS so I’m trying to get around without it when there’s no time crunch. It really is like exercising an atrophied muscle. This tech is a brain killer.

the malfeasance here is both significant and grotesque and it must be met with significant, life altering professional sanctions

Amelia Bedelia ass shit

I am deadly serious when I say that any liberal Project 2028 people should be taking names of the civil servants who go way past their authority to do stuff like this. That is very much not me saying that normal employees following bad orders should be fired. But there’s a line. This crosses it.

I mean I don't know what the exact correct number of new judges is, but this is basically right. Immigration court isn't a court and it is time to move its functions to Article III, with whatever resource additions that requires.

Today in “Dudes Rock”: A dude playing Dire Straits’s “Sultans of Swing” guitar solo on…a recorder.

How many times is our government going to break the law and lie in public to railroad this one guy? Nobody who had any part of this should know a moment’s peace.

van hollen is not the most progressive legislator but he has proven himself to be a fighter for justice in a way his colleagues cannot hold a candle to

Obi-wan lookin’ dog.

A take that can only be described as “dead-on balls accurate.”

So much easier to just use the U.S. military to steal from other countries than to actually earn it or make deals, amirite? Thanks, John Roberts, for unleashing this lifelong criminal.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.

Congress may well not do anything, but his fellow judges of CA3 are not powerless here.
