You need to let yourself not become Louise Mensch with reading too much into random things, while also allowing yourself to feel joy about It Happening.

I will not

i miss the Belt and Road era of the MFA i've caught myself humming this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KFB...

a few nights ago i rode a bus for about 15 minutes or so. once it got close to the stop near my home i hit the button to request a stop. soon after, the bus driver stopped the bus and let me off

They're actually turning the plane around to kick out Dan Bongino, who stowed away in the luggage compartment and was discovered recording an episode of his podcast hidden amongst the president's stashes of expired diet pills and stolen restaurant silverware.

completely unironically, this is how we'll know

You carry the real It Happening in your heart, secure and warm, beyond their reach. One day you will get to let it out.

I want to emphasize that at this time the unconfirmed reports that President Trump has both arms stuck "elbow deep" in the airplane toilet are just that. We will be monitoring this story. Please be responsible about spreading news that both his arms are "as far as they can go" into the toilet hole.

This has been a test of The Funny Thing Happened Broadcast Service, and you all did great. See you next time

oh wow it's really bad that that's HIS understanding of what the insurrection act does

in the era of wolf warriors and Trump II: yes

idk I just think if it Happened the lie would be dumber than 'minor electrical fault'

The collected anticipation on this site could power a small city.

they got pretty far before that electrical issue started

ooooh interesting

Booooooo

Turns out it was a "minor electrical issue" on Air Force One.

Bunch of video I can’t confirm on X of the presidential motorcade speeding down the highway, lights on, to get to Andrews.

I gotta drop my kid off for a field trip at 6 am tomorrow and the AF1 thing is going to make it very hard to sleep. think of it like Christmas Eve, I suppose

every time i block someone it's because they're annoying and not worth engaging with every time someone blocks me they are admitting defeat in the marketplace of ideas

MEDICAL EVENT MEDICAL EVENT MEDICAL EVENT PLEASE GOD IF YOU'VE EVER EVEN COME CLOSE TO EXISTING IN ANY RELIGION EVER CONCEIVED OF EVEN BY OUR DISTANT SAPIENT ANCESTORS IN THE HALF-REMEMBERED DREAMS ONE TIME YOU CAN DO US ALL A SOLID FOR ONCE

Would be hilarious if Carney manages to Shanghai his way into a new federal settlement in response to us yankees shitting the bed

it's really not their fault they missed such early classics as "oops, i'm accidentally having dinner with Mitt Romney— again," "Just ran into my mom's next door neighbors from Ohio trying to stop the raid of a homeless encampment in DC at 11pm" and "wait, am i at a heritage foundation party"

I think the key difference between them is that when things reached a head Mamdani was willing to open up unprompted with both barrels on those dumb squishy social issues and Schumer is extremely reluctant to do so I nonetheless do not think this is a difference this site has broadly picked up on

they gotta be trolling me

True Warrenism is being tried in New York City

why

People in power don't take this stuff seriously (governors, senators, national media, etc.), but people who participate in civil wars do (warlords, militia members, assassins, combat-curious X incels, etc.)

glad to see he's willing to compromise on some common-sense moderate positions

My daughter is going to be so happy to finally build a snowman this year. Shame about the number of crashed up Virginians it will cost for Santa to belatedly fulfill my daughter's Christmas wish

Yes. Me and @bordenstan.bsky.social talk about this often and if things go to shit, that's the most likely flashpoint for US-Canada relations

Bombing…to…win…you…say

oh nooo lol

just invest in low-cost ex-USA index funds and keep dumping cash into them returns have been pretty good since Liberation Day

The Greenland situation has so many variables that it seems foolish to assert anything beyond “This is varying degrees of bad for everyone in the world. Needlessly.”

This decision killed Renee Good

Have seen many variations of this & broadly agree—but the part that struck me in the moment wasn’t “this is a microcosm for how America sucks” — it was “this is a microcosm for trying to behave democratically & respectfully of one another in a complex, evolving situation with things we can't know.”

Rural America doesn't want our help, they think we're literal pawns of Satan.

Also the attractive women are Mommy who protects you with her blade hands, which, fair

actual cyberpunk is a cute coffee shop and pop-up korean-ethiopian fusion barbeque truck while your shut-in hacker chases a murder through the internet of shit

when you see "we don't have the cool parts of cyberpunk", its about the reality that you're not a typical cyberpunk protagonist

But I don’t want to remain calm. I want the French air force to deploy tactical nuclear weapons.

at this point if you haven't gotten illegally denied entry to a detention center as a D congressperson you really got to get that on the schedule

is there a law against mark carney becoming British PM

i guess it comes down to House Rs spiking it, which seems unlikely because they've choked down everything else. I guess notionally HFC might finally say that backend impoundment is not enough but meh

kinda fucked that some kind of Traumatic Economic Event is probably the best or perhaps only way of negatively polarizing a critical mass of the electorate against the GOP so we don't get stuck in the thermostatic enshitification ratchet
