One reason why public servants have for cause job protections is exactly to protect against this: an expert public servant with years of training fired from their job because they failed to satisfy the personal whims of egotists.

so how much time per day does kristi noem spend in littlespace

"The Germans explode all over the course" - a direct quote from the men's snowboard cross commentator.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

who up bigbangizing peta-dieties into they hyperbigbang core

The details of the Kristi Noem blanket incident are just fucking perfect

Man. All these people suck so bad on an interpersonal level. Each and every one of them are followed by a dozen anecdotes that would end careers at a real company.

Moderna is gonna shift all R/D into fat shots. We deserve the lows!

genuinely a country of Nothing Bad Can Happen, It Can Only Good Happen

Significant- CNN on DOGE: "Inside the White House, the cost-cutting crusade marked by mass firings and blanket funding eliminations is largely seen as over" The White House is signaling no more RIFs and no more rescissions, with Trump trying to distance himself from DOGE www.cnn.com/2026/02/12/p...

ok so just some context for the post on the left here. before all this started every county except for hennepin county has already done this for a long time and it seems like, as much as i’m pissed at her, witt did not actually budge on it.

This episode has been a nightmare for my city and state, but I hope people realize it’s also a profound defeat and political catastrophe for Trump and DHS, who are slinking away having accomplished nothing. Minneapolis simply wouldn’t bend to them and they lost

“my ‘we’re not out scouring the streets to disappear people or deny people their civil rights or due process’ shirt is raising a lot of questions that are answered by the shirt”

damn you're telling me that sin taxes work to reduce consumption of socially harmful goods while keeping them legal and thus avoiding the problems of criminalization?

lol Trump nominated a concessionaire executive to run the National Park Service. media.delawarenorth.com/executive-bi...

Moguls skiing seems like the answer to the question “what if we could make these skiiers not have knee ligaments” It hurts to watch

People have been confidently predicting that computers will kill all administrative jobs for longer than I've been alive. And yet, we still actually need administrative assistants. Gonna press X to doubt on this one.

The more jobs I hear listed as "bullshit jobs", the more I realize that people just don't understand that coordination and organization are necessary tasks

lol talarico kind of got this guy's ass www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

yes these people are that petty. they also think they can impose culture by force and fear. they think that if they take down the pride flag, then Americans will forget LGBTQ history. if they take down slavery exhibits, we will stop caring about Black civil rights. they are wrong. spectacularly so.

www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0... Your reminder that the "crime" pretense for this unconstitutional institutionalized racism campaign is based on their bigoted delusions and little actual data grounded in reality.

they said it couldn't be done, folks, big strong men with tears in their eyes, they came up to me and said "no president could completely wreck an entire united states economy twice", they said "no one's ever put more people out of work than you"

Helluva statement from Colorado Rep Crow (D) on the Trump administration's failure to indict him and others

RULE VOTE FAILS, 217-214. Three Republicans- Thomas Massie, Kevin Kiley, and Don Bacon - buck the party to allow floor consideration of measures to end Trump's tariffs. The first such measure, likely on Canada tariffs, could come up as soon as tomorrow

lol, lmao

I wrote about the Olympics defector.com/which-other-...

That's right, Texas is stolen land - as is every scrap of land on Earth, stolen by someone from someone else. And that means no one has the right to claim exclusive ethnic possession of anything. No human being is illegal. What did you think "no one is illegal on stolen land" meant? Vibes? Essays?

JUDGE JOHNSTON: “Today, immigrants are being detained without due process. Tomorrow, under the Government’s interpretation of the law, American citizens could be subject to the same .. This Court will not allow such an unraveling of the Constitution.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: Federal judges are increasingly furious at what they see as a pattern / playbook of defiance by the Trump administration to court orders in immigration cases — in Minnesota and around the country. Here’s a look at what they’re seeing: www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

also the fact that the largest single faction of actually existing Hawaiian independence activists are monarchists who want to turn Hawaii back into Brutal Pineapple Dubai, which is what it was before independence. the actually existing descendant of the Hawaiian communists is the Hawaiian Democrats

DUBS HOLY SHIT

CURL LIKE A BADASS

Whenever I see "natural" in reference to human health, I reach for my gun. Suffering from infectious disease is "natural." Being parasitized by fly larvae is "natural." Dying of malnutrition is "natural." Every human life saved by science is a middle finger in the face of a cruel, heartless world.

Whenever you see someone talking about "retvrning to pre-industrial methods of agriculture" you need to bluntly ask them how many people should starve to death to serve this goal.

PSA: Melon Usk is also not going to build a city on the Moon.

One of the main purposes of having a government is to have someone to do the things that society needs done that can't easily be done at a profit, else someone else would already be doing them. The Free Market already had a shot at keeping e. coli out of the food and the rivers non-flammable, hoss.

If the current moment has taught us anything, it is about the uselessness of libertarianism. The image sums it up perfectly. The Gadsden flag was all out during the Obama era. How often do you see it now? Most of the principled libertarians were happy to trad their principles for Trumpism.

Think about this, how MAGA has so thoroughly alienated itself from American culture that they're off in their dank divorce caves watching elderly pedophile party hour instead of the Superbowl, absorbing the halftime show via angry youtube nazis selling dick pills about it, etc.

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

Drake Maye looked like he got hit by a bus.

Absolute cinema

lmfaoooooooo

This is the America I swore an oath to serve.

The media desperately wanted to give the right a cultural moment and the problem is that they have no culture.

He'd get citizenship tomorrow if he gave Trump the Grammy.

What's the point of a halftime report that's like two 30-second segments?

Both of the local station Super Bowl ads have been for injury law firms. Never change, Las Vegas.

i worry that a 5-year stretch of nothing but ads for NFTs, bitcoin, and AI is a long enough gap that this nation's once-great advertising industry will forget how to sell a product people actually want

9 points might be enough to win this.
