I wonder if someone on Fox Business did a breakdown of how poorly it went for him, and it broke through the bubble his sycophants and courtesans had put up for him.

If you’re trying to catch up on what went down with #SNAP late last night at #SCOTUS, here’s my attempt to read the breadcrumbs on the “administrative stay” issued by Justice Jackson—and why a justice so critical of the Court’s grants of emergency relief to Trump still granted temporary relief here:

Cops are great

Have never been more aware of how brittle and paper-thin fascist belief systems are than I have the past year. These guys tremble at a couple drops of rain.

Between the Islamophobia, the anti-Semitism, the racism, and the homophobia -- it must be so bizarre to be afraid of basically everyone, all the time Pure loser shit

This is 100% true. I’m in Manhattan today for work and they made me convert to Islam before I was allowed to purchase my BEC and coffee this morning. Inshallah I’m able to get a slice of pizza tonight because the ration lines are so long.

the resource consumption of all generative AI is a order of magnitude lower than, say, video games, unless you're going full on unibomber cabin in the woods mode and chastising anyone with an xbox this is a totally incoherent belief. you don't have to make up reasons to get mad at this shit!

I think people want AI to be useless, to consume huge amounts of water, etc. because that lets you find another reason for it to be bad that isn’t: it’s useful and that’s why it’s bad. The thing works and is getting better, millions have found use cases for it, and that is why it is bad.

I really don’t find these arguments persuasive. Take this, for example, from one of the sources: this is another way of saying ‘as much water as it takes for the beef that two people consume annually’. That’s a relatively trivial amount!

The senate is obviously still a thing and functioning even though the government is shut down but Johnson has effectively abolished the existence of the House bc he's to craven to think of any other strategy rn besides "hide." The longer this goes on, the higher the chance that he's tossed I think.

incredible that these guys have a massive hard on for a country that, if it were a state, would rank behind kansas in terms of wealth and which would be a total backwater if it weren’t economically integrated with more functional countries

Your regular reminder that the reason all of the awful & illegal things keep happening in 🇺🇸 politics - from Trump to torture/GWB to Iran-Contra to Watergate to EO9066 all the way back to 1865 - is because there are never any consequences for all of the awful & illegal things happening in 🇺🇸 politics.

Shitty people, shitty values, shitty culture.

Easy way to hire better personnel is for the bad personnel to quit first

Flights are being cancelled. Food assistance is suspended. Government employees are going without pay. But priorities are being taken care of:

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

End of Week 76. About ~3 lbs of weight from now til mid-December will be sling + clothes. But was also told to eat more and don't do sweat-inducing exercise until the portal holes are healed, so gonna be some real weight gain too

Me on the phone: "Hello Kash Pat—" *clears throat* Me, but this time in Yosemite Sam's voice so no one suspects I'm an immigrant: "Well, consarn it, HELLO there, Kash Patel! I got me a rip-roarin’, rootin’-tootin’ case that’s hotter than a billy goat in a pepper patch!”

Sloppy edge dressing almost guarantees it's fake.

Here's a video Hermes released a while ago showing the process of saddle stitching.

I think this bag is fake. Hermes's flagship products are handsewn using a saddle stitch. A worker marks the leather using an awl and then threads two needles through from both sides. This results in a tight stitch with no holes between the stitches. The holes here suggest the bag was machine sewn.

This has not gotten much attention, but it should. Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE. Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

there should be a word in English for when somebody tells a story that they think valorizes them but they're the obvious villain

Another one has taken up residence 🥰 At least temporarily lol

Today is Day 2,348 of the Threadnought The fans of Vic Mignogna – a sexual predator and pedophile colloquially known as the R. Kelly of Anime – soldier on

people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up

*Many* NYPD making more than $260K total comp

Checked in! 🏥 See y'all on the other side

Sometimes it's not clear, so I'll clarify it: Even if these are drug boats, simply blowing them up is illegal. And if they aren't drug boats, holy shit it's illegal.

LOL they’ve gone from lying about the economy to finally admitting it sucks but scapegoating the shutdown they’re also responsible for

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

They made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm.

Guillotines

"Spirit Halloween, but preposterously expensive" doesn't seem like a winning idea, but what do I know?

elon musk will be one of the main things our progeny will blame us for allowing to happen.

When Dick Cheney was in power, he was seen as the hardest of the hardline conservatives. In the Trump era, hardline conservatism isn't what it used to be. @draperrobert.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/u...

Orrrrrr... 😇

if i ever reach this point then just put me down

Agree. Getting an absolute majority in a multi-candidate field is definitionally a mandate. Doubly so when the outright majority is atop record turnout.

Look, it's not even in the top thousand offenses of this administration, but I can't get over how fucking tacky and gaudy the Oval Office has become under this clown. I'm surprised he hasn't thrown up some LIVE LAUGH LOVE pictures to complete the look of "strip mall Italian restaurant"

the speed at which RFK books it out of there is incredible

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

"Hey, man, what message should we push today as we deliberately deny millions of Americans their food benefits?"
