This is delusional but you don’t have to read the whole thing. Boils down to: he’s shutting down the government because he thinks he’s a king.

Secret Service says it dismantled ‘imminent telecommunications threat’ near UN general assembly ahead of Trump speech – live

Got my covid booster & flu shot yesterday. I learned that Adhd is now a risk factor? Lol, like i might talk the virus to death… hmm. Now for some Tylenol.

So, are they gone?

100%. She was traveling through Italy, smoking, & drinking Martinis. “You would kick me when i had a martini” she told me.

A federal judge ruled Monday that a nearly complete offshore wind project halted by the administration can resume, dealing President Donald Trump a setback in his ongoing effort to restrict the industry. https://to.pbs.org/4gBPT0k

<cough, that’s ~600 A DAY> “Of the 60,000 types of germs that people come in contact with on a daily basis … only about 1 [percent] to 2 percent are potentially dangerous to normal people with normal immunity,” - Philip Tierno, director of clinical microbiology and immunology at NYU

Imagine if Richard Nixon had just tweeted out the Watergate scandal rather than putting it on secret tapes. That’s what this is.

I’d never seen this one.

Made sausage, sausage “aka sawmill” gravy and biscuits from scratch for my texan sis-in-law. She said i did ok, which is about as good as its gonna get, lol. Now i ‘ll need to exercise continuously for ~2 weeks bc omg, the calories.

This is amazing.

If you had told 24-year-old me that I would someday go to the mat to defend one-half of The Man Show, a TV show that literally had girls called “juggies” who did nothing but jump on trampolines, I would have been like “huh okay maybe it’s not the best time to go into the feminism business”

There’s always a tweet… 🤷‍♀️

Representative Jason Crow (D-CO) on this moment. Not just the transcript but the video of a floor speech yesterday. A rallying cry:

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Today I introduced the No Political Enemies Act, with a powerhouse group of co-sponsors, to put in law protections for prosecution or harassment for political speech. Trump is shamelessly exploiting the death of Charlie Kirk to try to destroy his opposition. We cannot let him.

What fresh hell is this? Look, just block off any outbound network connections from your fridge, or better yet, dont put it on the network at all. Its a fridge ffs.

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Must watch. Now is the time to rise up and speak out against Trump’s agenda to end free speech. Democracy, Democrats and Free Speech are under attack #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

Let me just say a simple thing. Democrats have no obligation to provide the votes to fund the destruction of our democracy. If you want my vote for a bipartisan budget, there need to be protections to stop Trump's brazen lawlessness.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Just remembering the S3 outage a few years back. Good times ;)

Trump administration policies are consciously calculated to drive up unemployment among Blacks, and particularly Black women. They are having that targeted effect. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

What we know for sure is that numbers are not their thing.

Ta-Nehisi Coates on Charlie Kirk’s record. archive.ph/2025.09.16-2...

Car repairs up 15%. Furniture up 9%. Electricity up 6%. Coffee up 20%. Now Republicans say they will shut down the government unless their law to increase many health insurance premiums by 75% goes into effect. They are ruining people’s lives with these cost hikes.

Freedom Party my ass

Liz Cheney endorsed Kamala Harris in 2024 - to save our democracy. Trump threatened Liz Cheney in AZ. AZ AG Kris Mayes was criticized for questioning whether or not Trump's political threat against Liz Cheney was considered a death threat & violated any state statutes. @hasanminhaj.com

I’m dead…

Reporter: Do you think it would have been fitting to lower the flags for Melissa Hortman who was killed as well? Trump: Uh, I’m not familiar, who?

..,and there it is.

Lamont: We have something called Revolution Wind. It’s 80% complete and will likely power 300,000 to 400,000 homes by this time next year. It will dramatically bring down costs.. We were almost done — and then, at the very last moment, Trump pulled the plug on it.

Nancy Pelosi’s husband was brutally attacked in an act of political violence. She never called for revenge. The left didn’t seek violence against the right. She’s urging the opposite: calm the rhetoric, listen to our better angels, and stop the slide into chaos.

One my old friends is a great graphic designer and he’d post these cool album cover pairings that I’d never noticed. Ill see how many i can remember.

You know who was also a young husband and father—not to mention ex-Marine—who died, not attacking others to make himself rich and powerful, but to save the lives of others? David Rose, the officer killed by the anti-vax domestic terrorist who attacked the CDC. apnews.com/article/deka...

Facts are facts: Right-wing extremists account for the overwhelming majority of extremist-linked deaths in America.

one thing i will always be proud of is that our network worked on 9/11. i had connected our NY office with our Stamford office over L2 private lines, so our phones worked (main pbx was in stamford) and because i am a stubborn, paranoid git, I made sure the L3 circuits into NYC went in two 1/
