Has anyone checked on John Bolton yet? I'm guessing the second time isn't as good and he might be having a personal crisis over it.

...man, I tuned out for like three hours to poke at Obsidian, what the fuck.

More support for what I think I'll call the Right Enemies Hypothesis, unless somebody else already has a good name for it. bsky.app/profile/schr...

And by "a couple of hours left in February," I mean "Shit, there's a whole other day left and I keep forgetting because this week has been a sledgehammer aimed at my sense of time."

World's on fire. There's a couple hours left in February. I got writer's block. Time to do some #Worldbuilding. Template drawn from @kiraofthewind.com, who hosts these things every month and is just plain cool in general. Give her a follow. Feel free to mute this thread if you're not into it.

This afternoon the president is crashing out over the Supreme Court's tariff ruling and Anthropic while the defense secretary feuds with universities and the scouts... glad everyone involved in the potentially imminent war with Iran is in a good mindset.

Honestly you can read that EO and just laugh, because there's no mechanism of enforcement. The Federal Government doesn't do anything involving elections. DJT could literally sign it a state will go "lol no" and... yeah, we're done here. There isn't really a mechanism to go out and enforce the EO

I miss shame.

For what it’s worth, I don’t have any tattoos.

The whole point of this god forsaken thing's name was to rip off Joe Biden's SAVE Plan for student loan reduction/forgiveness and make it into a dirty word. Same reason why they took the three Bs of Build Back Better and made it Big Beautiful Bill. Classic abuse tactic, really.

This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.

We really don't make enough hay out of the fact that Republicans constantly pivot to new fights the instant it even looks like they're losing old ones.

Describe your favorite games poorly: - Help your comrades process their trauma and achieve self-actualization through horny gay violence. - Get wrecked by Adagio for Strings and topple an interstellar empire about it. - Level grind a thousand hours so you can beat up clown god.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

“FUCK DON CALLIS” “FUCK ICE TOO” #AEWDynamite

The Holocaust ramped up with mass murder of the disabled.

I don’t think people understand what’s this means: MEDICARE AND MEDICAID ARE BLOCKING ALL WHEELCHAIRS, WALKERS, CANES, INSULIN PUMPS, GLUCOSE MONITORS, CPAP MACHINES, NEBULIZERS, BEDS, CRUTCHES, COMODE CHAIRS, BED SORE PRESSURE PADS, CHAIR LIFTS, OXYGEN TANKS, BREATHING EQUIPMENT, to name a few.

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way. www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

Well that's certainly one way to make everyone move on from Spanberger dogwalking your sorry asses last night, I guess.

What’s really striking in Saruman’s speech to Gandalf is how broadly (and unusually for Tolkien) relevant it is. Take out the one specific reference to the Elves and Númenor and it is just an absolute classic rationale for collaborating with evil in the confidence you can ultimately direct it.

A thousand "Dems need to talk about" posts are always blooming that all will hit something mentioned in this speech, that none of the people saying them will watch.

Gov. Abigail Spanberger: "The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There's the cover up of the Epstein files, the crypto scams, cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes and billionaires for ballrooms, putting his name and face on buildings all over our nation's capital."

I will say it as many times as I need to: Tony Khan buying ROH and keeping it going when it would have died forever otherwise is one of the greatest acts of altruism in wrestling history. It's not perfect but it's leagues better than any of the alternative fates for ROH.

Without watching any of tonight's dog and pony shows, my immediate impression based on this post is that Spanberger had the best response in over a decade, if only because the others have all been career suicide by another name. CIA Girlboss Governor stay winning.

More Starships and Starfighters to cleanse your Timeline, It's Tuesday and the week moves along. #StarWars #Babylon5 #StarTrek

It's literally the "we are still doing it but now we would like you to be less mad about it." post. After 3 backdowns that didn't even back down they pull out another BIG puppy eyed SUPER sorry backdown that ALSO doesn't back down. No. You've fuckied your last wucky, UwU. bsky.app/profile/teal...

It's rare that a story will make me blurt out what the fuck nowadays, but.

Just a reminder while this is a victory, it's not over yet until Discord completely gives up on the age verification nonsense. Don't resubcribe to Nitro immediately.

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.

aaaaaand: 175 entities in the network were sanctioned today by the UK.

There is no way to make tariffs refunds work correctly. This will essentially be a transfer of money from consumers to businesses. Just send a check of the average cost to each household. The Restitution of Executive Fees and Unlawful National Duties Act. The REFUND Act. ‪

One of the more amusing parts of getting into Tokusatsu is realizing that Neon Genesis Evangelion is just a mash-up of Gundam and Ultraman that some dude wrote while experiencing a major depressive episode.

Uncle Jeffy Tiedrich says today in his newsletter: "Here’s one sure way you can tell you’re living in a shithole country: when the following two headlines appear one after another."

Burger King and Hardee's both taught me that if a burger isn't shaving years off my life with every bite, it's not worth eating.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

Now THAT's a headline. "The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents" fortune.com/2026/02/21/l...

Wrestling fans understand the assignment.

Throwing this onto the supporting evidence pile for my "The US military will suffer a catastrophic collapse by late 2027" prediction.

Yuta is a straight up Looney Tunes character. His bald era is going to be such a delight.

For the record we were five minutes into recording Serious Trouble when the tariff decision dropped. So we were able to stop, read it, and include it. This reflects God’s favor for our podcast and now nothing will disrupt our taping.

Bluesky should not get into this idea that blocking you is a problem. You can be blocked for any reason. You can be blocked because your pfp is annoying. You can be blocked because your vibe sucks. If you take this personally I think that’s also a reason you can be blocked.

This is where I'm at as well. Roberts never does anything good except to mitigate the PR fallout of something hideous.

Presented for your blocking pleasure:

What the media (and no small amount of posters) did to Biden is really unforgivable.
