In the effort to end the civil rights filibuster they accidentally broke the chamber. Even if they didn't like it broken they have no idea how else to operate anymore

LOOK all you have to do to win at air combat is be the guy who has the advantage, & decline to engage otherwise. Zeroes above you in numbers? I would simply not be at that location. Zeroes not letting you disengage? That's cheating, appeal to the mods

I do not understand how anyone uses the Warsun T7 without wanting to scream. We should be finished with flashlights that have to cycle through endless modes to turn off in 2026

Make Leavenworth Great Again

There were a substantial number of people to the right of Kipling, & Wurman thinks they were very fine people

What if a war persisted because the conflict at hand was so exhaustingly stupid that no one could resolve it to the satisfaction of all parties & eventually people stopped trying I'll go ahead & presume that's @marbleliberal.bsky.social 's music

LotR in a nutshell:

I eagerly look forward to seeing the federal government offer the Falcon Heavy Rocket Company IPO in 2031

This is extremely true, yet it's also true that the Trump regime can accomplish & has accomplished a great deal through their willingness to keep failing with deep pockets, & their eagerness to see good things burn

I don't know if that movement knows how to mobilize against conservatives, & to the extent it does, it gets not a fraction as much play. The market for yelling at Democrats is broader & deeper & more profitable across the board then the market for yelling at Republicans, in every sense of profit

The wolf shall evict the lamb, & the leopard shall eat the face of the kid; & the calf & the young lion & the fatted steer shall make war on each other; & a car dealer shall lead them

Conservative judge the health of the economy based on whether men like this are gainfully employed

That's right

leopards eating more faces than ever

Whether it's Iran or Pensacola Beach, patriarchy only protects patriarchs

Rape culture

Under Trump all Americans have been granted the privilege to be informed that their hearing loss was not service-connected

And what do they put up on that lot? A spec house & a big shed. Little patches of turf surrounded by half-mowed weeds. Living the country life in the sense that they're slightly closer to the lake

It is fair to ask what census he thinks he will be running (I will presume it's that the nature of federal bureaucracy means that rules that are in place when he leaves office may still be in place during the next census; any Democratic successor should do what it takes to prevent this)

This whole initiative is a jobs program for unemployable right-wingers first & foremost

a glorious pitching duel between Hal Wood Filler & Marvin Socket

It's just a matter of time now

Voters elected Trump to make them rich

hegseth endorsing treatments that can lead to impotence or sterility for soldiers is big news for our nation's brave class of soldiers' wives' boyfriends

Not a day goes by without the president doing something impeachable

They're calling it the most Gender event in history

I don't need to hear this from a guy whose family hails from Warsaw. Falls apart before it starts

What do you MEAN she's teething at 3 months

The "gender critical" position is that trans people are neither men nor women, & undeserving of the protections afforded to either (& it should go without saying that this is a traditional form of homophobia with the serial numbers filed off)

A reminder that the Trump Administration cannot plan more than 24 hours in advance (sometimes it's more like 24 minutes)

We all heartily pray for a government that protects the good children (ours) & punishes the bad children (theirs) & has the wisdom to know the difference. This is how to be a democracy

There's no situation where an Undersecretary of Defense should be posting this on Twitter. But X is where Cheese's real peers are, so he's there too.

We can stop this. We can stop so much of it. We must get the power to never let it happen again.

this is how we win

Moral of the story, stop sending federal money to red states

"I will give you a taste of my shoe" has gained a whole new meaning

The entire classical conservative firmament from Hobbes & Hume to Burke & Blackstone would endorse this view, frankly. You cannot have any appreciation for the law & not see the Trump era as the worst possible combination of mobocracy & arbitrary power.

The great lesson of the French Revolution is that there are never quite enough guillotines to give you justice, & that is neither a sufficient defense against revolution, nor a sufficient excuse for revolution's failure

I am a multitudes-containing motherfucker

Love all the parenting books that insist "crying is a late sign of hunger". Look bucko if my daughter isn't crying for food when you go to feed her, she will spit out the nipple & give you a dirty look for trying. "Late sign" my ass

Me, in kitchen: Think I'll put some music on Wife, in living room: Ok 45 seconds later: Wife: OH GODDAMNIT IT'S TARKUS

Jonathan Frakes understood the value of engagement bait long before social media

this is not coincidentally the general profile of the average petty criminal

America has no federal law enforcement

I am increasingly suspicious that the entire business community is actively working to make it only good happen

Anyway y'all should be glad I learned to dictate most of my posts cuz if I had my druthers this is how I'd post every time

Is it useful to establish a distinction between brutality done in service of the nominal mission of an organization, & brutality done in lieu of the nominal mission of an organization, when its de facto mission is simply to be as brutal as possible? I am skeptical but could be persuaded with data.

113 days until Election Day

Voters elected Trump to make them rich
