The orgy of blaming Dems for what Republicans force has obviously been in progress, but seriously, several Senators, what part of 'Stand pat when we're winning' did you not fucking learn about? Kaine. Masto, Forget you, Fetterman.

Tonight is an example of overthinking things the old way resulting in abject stupidity. Some of the names on that list had to go anyway.

Since this apparently is gonna be a worn-out talking point while the Republicans scramble in panic about the election sweep, the facts.

Let us not forget in this night of triumph, that hero still on trial for his right to stand up to tyranny by keeping and bearing a Five Dollar Footlong in defense of Liberty and apparently extra onions. All gave some, some gave all, and one gave lunch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcND...

...From California to the New York Islands, whose land? Our land. Your land. Touchdown. Special teams ready for the onside kick?

Tonight. We win. 🧹

Just for emphasis how much the Republican administration has put lying incompetents where our security and laws and law enforcement are supposed to be.

Meanwhile, this administration only proves why AI is more corrosive and stupid and toxifying to the infosphere and even our governance than all the wasted power, increased costs, and water waste could ever be worth while the techbros have another subsidized 'bubble' about it. Not. Worth it.

Jane Goodall's work with chimps really helped a much younger me understand all these crazy humans better than I think I'd have otherwise figured out. I always thought the Right was so loud and forceful about denying that we are primates because they are afraid we'll see the resemblance. Hail.

(Also everyone, so's you know, one of the reasons the Christians keep promising Raptures and the 'end of the world' on a regular basis is because they hope to incite the unstable to hurt people they have recently been screaming are 'demonic threats and deserve to be punished/must be removed.' )

Also, as frustrated as most of us are about Schumer and Jeffries lately, that's exactly why the 'Will They Endorse Mamdani' corporate media story they won't let go of is no friend to anyone but the Right. Say what we will about those party leaders, they know a damn wedge issue when they see it.

I'm so proud of no one saying 'Nuke The Site From Orbit' today. Oops.

A Stephen Colbert with zero fucks left to give is a glorious thing to behold. youtu.be/HMGD1KCYFOw

Also, on AI. It's fake. Occasionally clever, usually stupid, more waste of time and pollution of an already muddied infosphere. But more than anything, it demands like five times the electicity than the EVs the Right was screaming 'the grid can't handle' while Republicans stop solar and wind.

(Also I might add that putting ruinous tariffs on *every damn thing from everywhere* does not make it easier to find drug smugglers. It makes *more* smugglers. Smuggling coffee, rice, sugar, tobacco, booze, Pokemons, anything. )

Yaknow, it's a news-bombardment day and there's some pretty righteous criticism of the recent Star Trek SNW season. And as much as they have a 'generous universe' about shuttle and runabout crashes, it seems they have an unfortunate tendency to put all the rations and emergency kit on places that

I'm getting a little tired of the crocodile tears of mean people calling for the oppression of more innocent people while pretending to be 'holy.'

This one's going out to NAFO in troubled times. When tyranny is law, the weird turn pro. Or cartooney. Or both. Mix it up. :) We've been here before, longer than most know. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFh4...

Anyway, if you remember the 80s, this band was banned from the US under Reagan's 'obscenity laws' despite never saying any of Carlin's dirty words. Also, St. Uncle Bernie ran a state thirty miles away when I was homeless. There was no damn shelter there. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc-I...

I'm not sure if the video is bad or good here, sibs. But the words. "I don't want you to hate for all the hurt you feel.The world is just illusion trying to change you. " All hands on deck. www.youtube.com/watch?v=evpG...

It's also really boring to fight the same stupid shit over and over. Yes, I fucking know. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL4H...

By the way, why the *fuck* do we have missile cruisers off Venezuela?

Also I of course do not endorse any of these guys in particular for US President if we have elections in 2028, but since I was talkin Pagan stuff I do commend this Mongolian biker metal for like, yer hearts. (captions on.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=jM8d...

Usually this is more of a Spring song to me, but while we're all baking before another apparently-uncalled for winter and stuff... About as good for the end of a long depressing summer as a winter. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6A5...

(Also, just so everyone knows the score, the damn assault weapons being everywhere is awful, scream blame all you want, but if you think now is the time to get-rope-a-doped into unilateral disarmament, you aren't seeing the present board at *all.*)

Kind of my thought for the day, too: the horrible shooting committed by a detransitioned kid with no hope has resulted in calls for general pogroms and damn right I'm armed. A Euro guy was like,'You got guns but ban kinder-eggs' I'm like 'Damn right, we're governed by Kids That Ate Paint Chips."

(Also the nature of a Twitty forum like this makes it a lot easier to lie than teach history, but come on kids, if you're going to name yourselves after historical figures, at least read a couple biographies. Gods.)

Song of my night and etc about all this digital nightmare. Same damn equation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8jh...

A largely-pointless night but someone made me this. I endorse this message. :)

Unnerving things to say to trolls: When they ask: "Do you identify as an attack helicopter?" *deadpan.* "Not. Exactly."

This administration and media remind me of kids demanding teachers grade on a curve, then try to tear down the smart kids cause they don't know what shape a bell curve is, but want to put in even less effort.

Putin the Destroyer: Anne Applebaum’s Warning www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MjK...

Saving this for a friend. :)

It's very possible that much of the point of chatbots is to make it appear to be futile for humans to talk to each other.

In a lot of pointless arguments today, I am struck by people who can't understand 2d chess across time, so call it 3d, mockingly saying foreign policy that isn't bomb throwing must be even more-dimensional where they *really* couldn't figure that out either if they tried, which they don't.

Everything hurts and I'm extremely annoyed at Republicans about it. For cause.

In the gearhead community, it's often the case that we avoid dragging political arguments into the scene. But 'nonpolitical' does not mean 'Actively saying what's happening is not happening.' I could almost write it off when boys were saying 'You queers make it political when you speak up,' but

So, why I put 'Is This Trip Really Necessary?' in my profile before the Trumpists took power again, it was cause it'd be easier if the party that would want to give democracy *back* simply didn't allow the Republicans to have this power in the first place. Six months in and this ain't America.

(Also, meanwhile help a GenXer out. The phrase 'to crash out' meant 'to go to bed, often from exhaustion.' Not, as appears to be a new media version 'To decompensate messily and have outbursts not quite worth the clickbait.' :) )

And here's my new song for today. It's kinda short. Everything got weird. Let's eat some biscuits. That is all. :)

Meanwhile in Ukraine news, it looks like Putin's hiring Taliban mercenaries to help oppress occupied parts of Ukraine.

I hear Dr. Demento is retiring today. Must salute. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YjK...

Sooo... apparently a sitting VP of the Unites States tried rolling out a Bluesky presence but I couldn't really say in his face he's a sorry-arse summbitch on this Midsummmer night. Almost like he's not here. I doubt he is, really.

So, I dunno, I'm hearing a bit about how DHS Chief Cosplayer Noem's 'allergic reaction' happened to occur while she was touring a dodgy biohazard facility with a dude that has brain parasites, a history of heroin addiction, and major denialism of not just viruses but the entire 'germ theory'....

Predictably, Trump's recent narcissistic injury has him having like Miller and Noem ordering themselves in his voice to try to get millions of brown people out of US cities by force cause he still doesn't understand that "No, 'illegals' can't actually vote even if you think they'd vote Democrat."

The thing about today is like the major themes came around cause Chump and his cult wanted to troll America, and America's like, 'Maybe it's time you met America, then.' :)

This is from this evening, June 11.

Brava!
