Lol not a run on social security. Boomers really will not rest until they suck up every last bit of wealth and resources.

The year is 2031, I haven’t had food poisoning in 5 months because I can’t afford to buy food anymore because I have 27 open payment plans for the last 4 hospital stays I had due to food poisoning.

Our new game is playing hockey with ice chips lol it started when I would fill my owala and kick any ice chips that fell on the floor to him. Now if I even walk near the refrigerator with my water bottle in my hand he expects ice chips lol.

When were y’all gonna tell me that Donald Trump’s signature is going to be on ALL U.S. currency for the 250th? So Scott Bessent has apparently been spending his time as Treasury Secretary looking for loopholes to make this happen.

An incredible euphemism here for “the government is doing illegal discrimination”

Otis and I have been rearranging furniture and cleaning

while we talk about the RFK's Diarrhea 2026 stuff, don't overlook the fact that there's a dog food recall going on too. unfortunately we don't have a good spokesvehicle for the FDA anymore, so Good Housekeeping will have to do.

Oh, to be a taxidermied drunken raccoon, whisked away to Norway.

You might need this little soapstone carving of a whale today… (1200-1600 CE, Chumash culture, California, held at Musée des Beaux Arts, Montreal)

Musk's approach to DOGE was modeled on his Twitter Files experience. He promised "maximum transparency" in exposing what went before, and did so in a slanted way fueled by conspiracy theories. His own actions? Maximum secrecy. Accountability for thee, but not for me.

Foreign Inspections: ~40% of fresh vegetables are imported from foreign countries. Last year, due to staffing cuts, American inspections of foreign food facilities plummeted to historic lows. Food safety experts said there would be a higher risk of outbreaks. www.propublica.org/article/fore...

Worker Cuts: Last year, the FDA lost +400 workers that support inspections of everything from dairy farms to seafood processors. More than 240 consumer safety specialists left across the agency, including nearly 40 workers responsible for safeguarding food. projects.propublica.org/federal-heal...

This is akin to Trump raiding the National Parks Service in order to pay for his Reflecting Pool disaster. (Which he has done). Take something that works remarkably well, and divert resources to cronies to deliver something the public did not ask for.

good

WHOA DHS does not say that the agent feared for his life… just the vague concern for “public safety.” So he killed him just because he did not want him in America, not because of any specific threat to agents?

when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.

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

There ain’t no way this man wrote all that shit THIS man doesn’t even know his own name

Put me in a button down shirt in my hospital bed. Prop me up. Have my wife fly in from China for it. Real Channel Zero look on my face. And get the newspaper in the shot too so no one suspects anything weird.

it's hardly the worst sin of the Senate but a system of mandatory congeniality and formal friendliness only works if the body sees itself as unified in opposition to the rest of government; as it stands presently we get eulogies from opposition for their good friend, Part Of The Problem.

“Verify your age” No I’ll just be in Canada now thank you Nord

It’s an obvious but still important reality right now that putting people on your network who represent or defend the current administration means choosing to amplify people who will knowingly, aggressively, and frequently lie to your audience.

To me this says that he has just never faced any real adversity or hardship in life so politics is all just abstract concepts and vibes

Yeah wasn’t he a big driver of convincing Trump to start the Iran mess?

Ok so a thing about me is I just have not seen a lot of popular/well-known older movies so I’m gradually trying to catch up. Tonight I watched She’s All That and I actually really liked it.

wasn't there a time when companies did research to try to figure out what customers wanted rather than creating weird shit and insisting that everybody buy it?

The thing is, they moved past products some time ago and have entered “move the stock price up” as their only corporate goal. Everything else—even the crap they end up selling in the end, has little or no importance to them.
