Trumps new healthcare plan is two aspirin and an ice pack in a trench coat

they'd have to get charges through a Grand Jury first, and I don't that's gonna happen. "You have a duty to not follow illegal orders" is pretty hard to mis-parse and spin, unless you're completely MAGA Brained.

82M Americans will travel more than 50 miles this thanksgiving holiday. I drive more than 50 miles to go to the grocery store.

genuinely says so much about what twitter has become that the biggest rightwing grift accounts pushing US fascist narratives aren’t real people and not even close to the united states

It remains insane to me that DOGE was treated at the time as an impressive shock and awe accomplishment - “you can’t deny he’s getting stuff done!” - and then instantly memory holed by the press once if became clear it was a total failure by every possible standard including Musk’s own

sounds perfectly sustainable. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/21/g...

type for books used to be set using little metal letters built into words in racks and then inked and pressed on to paper. If you had stock phrases you wanted to reuse a lot you could make a cast of them called a ‘stereotype’. The sound of them *clicking* into place, in French, is ‘cliché’

8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.

Fox legal analyst responds to Trump’s unhinged and psychotic posts calling for Democratic senators and representatives to be executed for posting a video urging service members to obey their oath to the Constitution and follow the law in the UCMJ.

Trump calling for members of Congress to be hanged is not great, in my humble opinion.

there's a reason a crazed push to get drunk freshmen to sign up to a fraternity is called a 'rush'

Hike today through a bit of snow, West Jefferson to Colorado Trail loop, about 11 miles. Mt Guyot (1st pic) and off in the distance Piles Peak (3rd pic).

... his policies are worse than his personality.

I’m afraid that having a law that prohibits something makes absolutely no difference to someone who routinely just IGNORES what the written law says. His DOJ will do only what he wants. They will not follow the law.

you just KNOW that they're going to release doctored documents, including "alternate facts" versions of documents already out in the public view

Great mid-length hike yesterday just to the south of Breckenridge peak 10, Crystal Peak trail. Pictured is Father Dyer. Hike was about 8.5 miles out and back, 2200’ climb up to 12,900’

Tom takes a lot of crap for his statements, but I tend to agree with many*, including ⬇️. (20 posts below, well worth the read) America is not currently a Fascist state. It is, however, being led by dangerous criminal chumps with delusions of Fascism dancing in their heads. * not the Led Zep one

Yes. A big tent does not include people who think you should not be allowed to exist. It just means there’s room for multiple viewpoints and some disagreement, but underneath it all, everyone in there understands they’re camping together.

Now I know what we’re singing at our next small town protest

Why does a state traffic cam image need a copyright? Exactly what rights are being reserved here?

Who makes money from solar and wind (after initial capital spend)? There’s a huge reason the US is tied to extractive resources.

He’s ’preparing to take on the concern’ by continuously lying about it, tell us black is white and prices are down. A better lede would have been ’considering rolling back his keystone tariff policies due to their impact on increasing prices’

“Bitch, pease …”

Funny coincidence, but “capitulation” has the same word root as “decapitate”

Time wins.

Short hike below Mt Sherman, Pike National Forest. These are Limber Pines, similar to Bristlecone Pines in their ability to grow in crazy conditions for >1000 years.

It's so bizarre that the breaking news today is yet more proof that Trump did exactly what everyone already knows he did

Pro tip: if you lie on polaroid film while you look at the northern lights, you can get a free chest xray

There’s no use voting for an opposition party if it doesn’t, you know, oppose.

Happy Veterans Day 🫡

[Trump] so that’s it? No welcoming choir of angels? [DEATH] NO, JUST ME [Trump] This place is a dump! And too cold. [DEATH] NOT FOR MUCH LONGER

Re: 50 yr mortgage You can pay off a mortgage in 140 months (11.75 yrs) using a trivial calculation: 1st month pay 1 month interest and an equal amount in principle. For example, $100k at 6% is $500 interest, so $500 principal, $1000 total. Make that same payment for 139 more months. Done.

It’s not only unheard of, it’s an actual LIE.

World’s worst trail review. I don’t think this is satire, but at this level of awesomeness it’s kinda hard to tell.

How many ‘factual’ statements confirming that this man is an uneducated idiot can you count in 46 seconds? (spoiler: it’s a lot)

Interoffice mail ftw

[Dem leadership Wednesday am] shit, we won?? What can we do to erase that?

JFC I can't even today.

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not. This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

So for Americans that are seeing their ACA costs double or triple: nothing But republicans promise to hold a vote on it, in December, which will fail 54-46. Excellent negotiation skills, glad we put so many government employees through hell for this.

JFC NFL, keep that criminal asshole off my screen.

Very good points, lost in the “I can’t believe they’re caving!!!” screaming.
