In case you thought you were safe bc you aren't one of his currently identified enemies to kidnap and deport, take a look at this line: "and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country..." No one is safe when a bully is in charge.

If you're in the UK, this might be a good thing to happen, I think.

It’s incredibly frustrating that Trump recognizes the power of popular Democrats more than Democrats.

If a self described socialist from an ethnic and religious minority group that Trump disdains can get this out of Trump with 15 minutes, imagine what Trump has given away to Putin.

TRUMP: and this Daniel, he went into the den? MAMDANI: The lion's den, yes TRUMP: surely they ate him MAMDANI: Here's the part where it gets a little Broadway: they didn't TRUMP: Unbelievable

To answer the question no-one cared to ask, what did you say to the water co. when they called to ask why I'm using so little water per day. "14 [litres]!! Do you know, that's the same amount of fresh water that the average person in Malawi uses per day??" Man let me talk but it was done by then.

Drinking a bottle of port in an effort to fall asleep at a reasonable time and so reboot my sleep cycle. Wish me luck!

Trying to finish the line I'm typing before I sneeze.

Frankenstein (2025)

A man who did not get punished at all for attempting to overthrow the government and failing - something almost nobody in the history of civilization has gotten away with without execution or exile - sweating a topic this much is unsettling.

Anderson v Griswold is the correct citation. The finding of fact - Trump was an insurrectionist was not appealed. The appeal to SCOTUS proceeded on the basis that he was & was still eligible despite being an insurrectionist.

I had a bad day at the software factory. Took a walk outside, then stewed in one of the 'thinking pods' for a bit. Ended up staying late, got drive-through on the way home. Guy there's handling my money, taking the next order, and dealing with a colleague _at the same time_. Realizations happened.

Me: how will this affect my solitary wandering Wife: you’ll have to stay home more and take care of the baby Me: I hate you!!! I hate the baby!!!

Really love that the sandwich guy was on video whipping a sandwich at a CBP officer and right away was like "damn right I did that shit, I hit that pig with a sandwich" and the Justice Department tried to bigfoot the case and couldn't even get him on a misdemeanor because fuck you

Cowardly programmers calling it a 'Garbage collector' rather than an Orphan Destroyer

Mattie Lubchansky is not only a real human woman but also the best comic author on the Internet and we should all be grateful to have her, goddamnit

So far election night USA seems to be a real referendum on “normal people are already sick of this shit”

I had a water meter installed and eliminated all waste from my consumption. Got a 'just checking in' call from the water co. to ask how come my household was using only 14ltrs (~3 gallons) a day. Yeah, I think I'll sleep alright after prompting occasional mathsy code on a free-tier account.

Count me as among those who think it's better if reporters were kicked out of WH in addition to the Pentagon. It would diminish the access journalism, people getting some morsel of a non-scoop--competing for it--in return for being nice. They'd instead compete more on exposing the horror show.

Still this: "I disliked Biden because [thing Trump did], and I missed Trump because [thing Biden did]. I voted for Trump again because I wanted [thing Harris promised], But I really hope that Trump doesn't [core Trump campaign promise]."

When the global warming does catch up with us, that torch sticking out the sea is sure gonna be poignant

We’ve been living through 72 nonstop hours of this exact tweet

With the rush to find the gunman and pin it on the left it's worth remembering they still don't have a 'reason' for the MAGA supporter who shot at Trump. How many months has that been of the FBI investigating?

My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

Friendly reminder: Bsky doesn't censor words. You can say things like kill and fuck here. When you choose to bowdlerize words on Bsky, it just breaks people's filters. If you type "r*pe" it means that anyone who has a filter to block the word "rape" still sees your post. Knock it off!

"Ban racially based targeting of Latinos by ICE" is a simple demand. It can be explained in a single sentence. Every Democrat can agree to it. It supports a key constituency that is drifting from Trump. It is a trivial piece of legislation. It reverses a very recent, outrageous SCOTUS decision.

Urge Nigel Farage to Release His Tax Returns If anyone tells you something is not going to happen, ignore them. This person started this petition on Sunday and it’s got 31k signatures. Why not add yours? www.change.org/p/urge-nigel...

"We will police the streets and not the tweets" says Nigel Farage, who previously demanded the police arrest a comedian for making a joke about him

"I have no opinion on it. I don't know" Nigel Farage Farage's response to Rep. Jared Moskowitz as to whether or not the Epstein client list should be released – after he had, only several months ago, demanded it be released.

So, almost guaranteeing anyone who needs to join their family members who have been recognised as refugees in the UK due to the risk to them in their home countries will have no option but the small boat crossing? And this is part of the master plan to *stop* the boats? I just… I give up.

I think the only thing I worry about in regards to when it finally happens is that a large group of people with post "the evil is defeated" memes and immediately tune out, ignoring the clown car of discount villains he'll leave in his wake.

I don't care what Farage or others who say they have a simple immigration solution claim, the UK can't just walk out of international commitments without massive economic and political damage, that's a lesson of Brexit. Globalisation. We don't actually have full sovereignty.

fundamentally the problem is that if you think "hotels are where I stay on holiday and I like being on holiday so living in a hotel must be fun and it's not fair others get to do it and not me" then you have the intellectual reasoning of a little child and it's going to be hard to engage with you

Went to a pretty French tourist trap village this morning with the idea of getting out before it got too busy. Was wondering if it was time to go when we saw a mime doing stretches to limber up. Legged it.

The fact that Trump insists that Putin agreed that the 2020 election was rigged, that Trump won it “by so much” and the war in Ukraine wouldn’t have happened if he’d been President… tells you all you need to know about Trump’s feeble mind, his grotesquely needy ego and how easy it is to outplay him.

Ace post

So deeply embarrassing for the United States. Trump legitimized Putin and his illegal war on the world stage and got absolutely nothing in return. Not even a single step toward peace. Everyone involved in this charade should be ashamed.

A reminder: there is nothing “legitimate” or “reasonable” about resenting people who seek asylum and attacking their accommodation. It’s just racism.

3 year old: [silently hands me a book] me: “do you want me to read this to you?” 3 year old: “I mean. I can’t read. so.”

I can grasp a teen working in a spa. I can’t grasp why a wealthy businessman (Trump) would consider the teen to be critical to the spa’s operations and would remember, and be furious for decades, that she left.

I found out today that one of my high school friends passed away. As an homage, here is a brief synopsis of what it was like to be friends with Shane for 35 years. Here we go: He found one of his grandpas dickeys and polyester leisure suits and regularly wore them to school.

Idiots saying “if you’re no longer MAGA because trump bombed Iran you were never MAGA,” this is why we say you’re in a cult. Half of you voted for trump because he said he wouldn’t start any new wars but now that he has you aren’t allowed to be upset. You have to think what they tell you to. Cult.
