I had to reboot my heat pump this morning - or maybe my thermostat. Woke up and it was very cold in the house (I'm in Portland so it's not THAT cold). Shut off the system for 10 minutes, then turned it back on. Now it's heating again. ????

Trump likes ice agents for their "large, hard, muscles"??? What in the world...

My wife jazzed up my hat with some lovely blossoms knocked down by the wind while we were walking around Portland. Too bad they were Bradford pear flowers - stinky!!! 🦨

So happy to be an '82er

I’ve started investing in stocks: beef, chicken, and vegetable. Someday, I hope I’ll be a bouillonaire.

If they're going to make air travel impossible with insane gas prices and ICE at security, can we at least get some high speed rail out of it?

"teleported to a Waffle House" means he was blackout drunk, right?

If there has been an organ-keytar in the 50s that would have beaten both of them

Those cops were morons for suing Afroman. I have no intention of visiting SW Ohio any time soon (no hate to Cincy, you're cool) but I've been humming "Randy Walters is a Son of a Bitch" all day. I didn't even know he existed before I heard the song.

Cops have unlimited ability to ruin our lives and as soon as they get a little pushback they turn into the biggest babies in the world part 100,000

I've only seen the first one, but my impression was that they left out a ton of extraneous stuff and focused on the essentials, which means you can actually follow the story if you're not already familiar.

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

G’mornin! #sqrlpix

As someone from MA, I think you know what you have to do when the mad king taxes your tea...

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

I can't believe a country that would do a 9/11 on us also won't back up our stupid Middle East war.

Furry friends, rodents, and country mice: lend me your ears!

Now that they're trying to pretend their war is not a war, they've gone back to calling it the Defense Department.

Blood for the blood god. Skulls for his skull throne.

Just for some perspective: The US is spending more than $1 billion a day to fight this illegal war with Iran By Monday, we will have spent enough money there to take every single person in a homeless shelter off the street and put them in a permanent home. We choose to kill kids instead.

Oh yes okay come with me new people on this horrible journey into Porn Wars Theory This will be a thread and an extremely bleak one

what fresh hell

In 2015, Epstein took a photo of his dinner with Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, and sent it to himself.

Yup--I just listened to the hearing, and the Judge took the parties by surprise by indicating he'd issue such a judgment. USG counsel asked for some time to brief the merits and the judge responded: "There are no merits." [3]

all going to according to not having a plan

Operation Epically Stepping On Our Dicks

lmao

This isn't the first time that Trump has assaulted schoolgirls

holy shit is it too much to ask for NO WARS anymore?

This is why they call the American government "The Great Satan". Because they murder and abuse children and laugh about it.

Israel, immediately after vaporizing a bunch of little girls:

If you're going to start a war, you need to start by publicly murdering your own child first. If you're not willing to sacrifice your own child Abraham style, you don't get to kill other people's kids.

After today's news, it's clear that The Beach Boys never should have released "Barbara Ann", as it subliminally convinced folks that bombing Iran was a good idea

What's with this framing that assumes that executive orders have powers that they cannot and do not? Trump can write and executive order that everyone has to lick balls, but that doesn't apply to anyone outside the executive branch, and definitely not to state election officials.

I won’t vote for anyone who does not agree to abolish ICE.

Detention Center = Concentration camp gothamist.com/news/trump-a...

One could make a strong case that piracy is more moral than paying to support these companies

Haven't we known a lot of this stuff for a decade?

Dual purpose i love it. When i eat the rich i would like the option to have them thinly sliced- yk in case i wanna make like a sandwich or something with my leftovers- that seems like a great option.

My favorite car ever, except for maybe my 86 Civic (my first car). Such a fun car to drive, and its storage capacity was insane.

And that is not even all of them. I could go on and on. AIPAC is literally funded by evil billionaires. “When we are up against evil billionaires- who cares where we get campaign money from as long as it’s legal” I mean…it’s coming from the evil billionaires. I care. You should as well.

we're really at an inflection point where it's not difference of opinion anymore. If you don't see how bad Trump and his movement are, how objectively evil and simply *bad for everything*, then you are wrong, you're a bad person, and yes, we're all better than you. Sorry. Do better.

it is not very pleasant viewing but you’ll want to see this absolutely bonkers video from a trusted tiktokker about the implications of the drone war in ukraine

The hardest part of my job is understanding what the software should do and why. Implementing it is often quite straightforward. AI is not anywhere close to replacing humans for the "why" questions.

Are cops born stupid, or do they hit them in the skull with hammers as part of their training?

This is why ICE and DHS need to be abolished. You simply cannot reform an agency this rotten to the core. We need to find every single person who signed off on this and put them in prison.

I'm considering buying a 5 string electric baritone ukulele. I'm too much of a rebel to buy myself a real electric guitar. Seriously though, this thing looks sweeeeet....

The amount of AI generated crap that shows up in Google Image Search now is just horrific. I want pictures (or drawings! cartoons!) of real capybaras wearing dapper costumes, not uncanny AI sloppybaras!

The kids ate up all our leftovers, so today I'm making both chili and split pea soup. I'm gonna be soupmogging so hard.
