The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply

If Andy Beshear doesn’t call for a special election before August 3rd and force Mitch McConnell to prove he can speak in a video, then Andy Beshear becomes the new Merrick Garland. I’m sorry but I make the rules.

Casually threatening mass rapes

Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche: "After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General. "I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors."

Dang, 220 million voter files stolen by China starting in 2020? Who was president back then, it sounds like he must have sucked ass

Trump speech a belly flop into an empty reflecting pool. The Trump diarrhea epidemic producing less crap than president in brief embarrassing address.

When I start to worry about Trump stealing the midterms, I just remind myself that he’s losing a fight with the Reflecting Pool at the moment.

cooked, low energy, things of that nature in all seriousness: I’m not going to say we aren’t in trouble because we are obviously in trouble but whining about the SAVE Act is not the act of someone with a coherent plan to steal the elections and when he tries it’s going to be a haphazard shitshow

This is my takeaway as well. He can't get SAVE, this is his best attempt at a hail mary to revive it. It won't land, it's just another grandpa ramble. It's abundantly clear that SAVE is all he's got as an evil election plan and the best he's got after that is denial and brute intimidation

We're going to see a lot of reporting about the people ICE has hired over the next few years, but it's hard to imagine how it could get much worse than this.

I do not like this gen AI I do not like what it implies I do not want it in my art I do not think it makes you smart I do not want it in my games I do not like its goals and aims I do not want it in my books I do not like the way it looks I do not like it, I don't care I do not want it anywhere

This is the new program Fox News keeps freaking out about?

Finally read about cyclospora, and I'll be modifying all my salads to contain only the Bacon Bits for my own health and safety.

Important update about my Aspects of Aelda duology. As I say below, I can't begin to thank everyone for supporting me and other Atthis authors, both publicly and privately. It means a lot to me and I'll be paying it forward where I can 🦑💜

Mitch McConnell's statement today on the passing of his colleague Lindsey Graham: . . . . . .

Also I think we can all agree that "The Nerd Reich" is a top-20 title in the history of books

counterpoint: the dead should make it harder for me to speak ill of them

Most of all, Lindsey Graham should be remembered as a passionate defender of rapists.

No statement from Mitch McConnell on the sudden passing of his senate colleague? So much for decorum

i don't think it's good to be friendly with fascists. i think it speaks poorly of the character of every dem senator trotting out this trite bullshit. graham defended the ICE agent who murdered your fellow citizen on camera. graham was subhuman garbage, and the world is better off with him dead.

This is THE problem with status quo centrists like @schiff.senate.gov. He credits Graham for collegiality. Fuck collegiality, fuck “never disagreeable.” Politics is people’s lives. People are dying and being harmed. Step the fuck up, Schiff, and stop caring about whether fascists are nice to you.

RIP Lindsey Graham. You taught me it was okay to be a coward whose only skill is debasing myself until death for a tiny, ultimately illusionary crumb of power.

He never deleted it.

When a politician dies we see a lot of hagiographies about them. If you mention they were a terrible person IRL, you get chastised. My feeling? If you don't want people to talk shit about you after you die, don't be shitty when you're alive.

You're laughing? Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham are in hell being sewn together into a human centipede and you're laughing?

i am rooting for the sentient ball of algae tbh

I spoke to Mitch McConnell this morning. I had to shout really loud because hell is so far away.

I spoke to Mitch McConnell for about 20 minutes today. It was my first séance.

I've mentioned this before, but: this isn't just Nintendo. When most large Japanese companies in the public eye underperform, most (if not all) of the c-suite will go so far as the relinquish as much as 100% of that year's salary in an act of contrition.

In rape culture, everything a woman says means yes and nothing she says means no. This seems to assert that though she said not to come over, said no repeatedly, struggled against Platner, an ambiguous prior comment constituted irrevocable consent. Not a shocking breach not to include it.

People talk about Orwellian too much in a dreary cliche sense and in not in a "lol George would have loved this" way.

I wrote about the irony of Platner and his campaign trying to convince journalists, commentators and voters that they had outsmarted the trappings of traditional masculinity, only to come crashing down as a result of it:

Spoke to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes this morning. Not very talkative.

I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He’s still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes … about IRAN, UKRAINE, the unfolding situation in MAINE, my visit to the TR Presidential Library...

I spoke to my good friend Mitch McConnell earlier today but then a big gust of wind blew open the window and all the candles went out and my grimoire flew into the fireplace so I don't really have any other updates, sorry. He sounded fine though

I spoke to Mitch McConnell this morning, when he appeared in chains to warn me that three other ghosts will visit me in an attempt to get me to change my ways.

I spoke to Mitch McConnell for twenty minutes this morning. He said "We are the Borg. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile."

I spoke to Mitch McConnell for twenty minutes this morning. I would tell you what he said, but the language was that of Mordor which I dare not utter here.

"I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning"

I spoke with Mitch McConnell today for about 20 min. He apologized for not convicting Trump for January 6th and said that Lindsey Graham is a sissy who is too scared to bring Russian sanctions forward despite promising it for a year. It was a pleasant conversation

"she asked for it"

"Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"
