So I didn’t watch that psychotic SOTU shitshow & made my signature chicken stew instead while listening to my curated playlist, & from the takes I’m seeing on here I made the right choice

Hakeem Jeffries: something something “decorum” Fetterman: Something something “respect”

That is a helluva promo

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, appears to have deleted his tweet after these Democrats responded

“Stand still while I hit your shovel with my face, you coward”

Since apparently this is a Thing tonight, I’ll just say this: I X’d my Twitter account on election night 2024 & haven’t looked back. If you’re still over there, you’re complicit & I couldn’t give a shit about your “reach.” Find real work.

[laughs hysterically in Mike Huckabee]

Let’s see: Famous person’s mom kidnapped for ransom ✅ Would-be presidential assassin shot dead at MAL✅ Nearest neighbor to the south erupting in flames✅ FBI Director 🥴

Imagine you were a famous person whose mom was kidnapped for ransom and meanwhile the fbi director is doing this

lol like wasn’t it obvious.

So there are no good Quaids, I guess

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?? YES!!!!

All of us rn

RASMUSSEN. GOP therapy pretending to be polling.

This isn’t Trump. It’s a guy doing a bit. Trump couldn’t find C-SPAN with a map.

Ten glorious years of a guy who has mostly been the president and always been the main character of American political life doing posts like this and everyone trying to figure out what cable news segment he saw, misunderstood in the way a dog might misunderstand a crossword, and made into policy.

Strong suspicion this is all just an elaborate scheme to convince future generations that their boring governments are “fake” because they don’t have a cartoonish misadventure every other week.

I mean, hilarious, but doesn’t that just guarantee we’ll never see the acronym in print?

#Caturday post: Midnight thinks it’s never a bad idea to sun by a window and revel over your prized possessions

Another great episode of @500songspodcast.bsky.social! The first time I ever heard (and saw) A Quick One was when I bought and watched the VHS of Rock and Roll Circus in '96. A complete WTF moment. (I love that the subtitles think they are singing Jerrald) youtu.be/RJv2-_--EY4?...

Vance: But I haven’t told you what day it’s on Leo: my hair care routine is complex and can span days. Weeks, even.

Man, he all but says “Yeah, I’ll be washing my hair that day”

“Why didn’t you tell me the shit you wanted me to sign off on was illegal?” Any judge signing his name to this should resign from the bench immediately.

Straight up Hunger Gaming the Army war officer corps for fun and profits.

They don’t really believe that. That’s just shit they say to flood the zone with shit

They’re not geniuses but nobody who can put their shoes on the right feet are that stupid

I know. Even they will see thru the bluff. “Oh, you’re gonna turn our Brute Squad loose on us, are you? Think that sounds like their idea of a good time?” C’mon

Empty threat. The goons, klansmen & felony probationers currently swelling the ranks will either be facing charges, walk off the job or engage in “quiet quitting.”

Being laid up with Covid for a week has been like Christmas vacation for Midnight, who treats me lying on my bed like I’m ringing the dinner bell.

New tag: Il Douché

John Roberts reflecting on his immunity decision after that batshit presser

In despise everyone who didn’t vote for Harris at a molecular level more and more every day

lol I’ve made no secret of my believe that legacy programs exist and deep silos of govt black holes contain decades of unknown material, information and NHI tech but the idea that this idiot has been read into any of it, let alone has release authority, is monumentally stupid 🤣

Yeah, I dunno about this. Trump is a meathead surrounded by other meatheads whose only tool is a hammer. This bluster about “workarounds” sounds like Walter Sobchak crooning “Nothing is fucked, they’re a bunch of amateurs” before he rolls out of the driver’s side & shoots up Dude’s car with his Uzi.

Mildly surprised the Bezos rag framed the story this way

BBC: “What do you think of the first Royal Family member arrested?” Any random Irish citizen: “Well, it’s a good start”

Jfc these fucking people

Context?

Yeah well your value gets lower the more Wes Anderson characters you dress as at the same time. So we are at an impasse

More like “Bored of Peace” amirite?

American Jews: hey, there’s a lot of antisemitism happening under the cover of pro-Palestine rhetoric and it’s increasingly hard to tell the difference between pro-Palestine people and actual Nazis y’all: you’re just covering for Israel

He is giving an address to the “Board of Peace” at this very moment

A question at the center of our political moment is what happens when state power operates without meaningful accountability? In her new book, @galvinalmanza.bsky.social shows how easily ordinary people can be swept into the machinery of accusation. talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/you-don...

CAT CHECKPOINT! show the most recent cat pic on your phone

UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

Iirc the casualty rate in the Civil War was 3:1 infection/gunshot wound

The admiral she gave this order to is the same one Noem's been stealing military housing from so she could have a rent-free place to fuck Corey Lewandowski.
