This is amazing. www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com

The cut was off in the package of mini-submarine buns I've been using for my lunch this week. Instead of the cut being 25% or 50% of the way into the bun - or whatever is normal - it's like 5% up from the bottom. Which is just not a structurally sound base for my sandwich artistry.

This dude's focus combined with the reporter's desire to avoid anything substantive and just fill time with meaningless fluff makes for a great dance.

The Supreme Court:

RFK Jr.: ‘Time In Hot Cars Helps Babies To Sweat Out Toxins’ https://theonion.com/rfk-jr-time-in-hot-cars-helps-babies-to-sweat-out-toxins/

A lovely Dave Farber obit from Peter Wayner www.nytimes.com/2026/02/14/t...

Miller's theory of force is deeply stupid. If I want a shelf, I could use my muscles to hold it up until my arms gave out. But, if I'm smart, I work with the available infrastructure to keep it up and holding stuff even when I go do other things. Miller's approach is more like the former.

RIP Dave Farber. I subscribed to his IP email list for a long time. One of those guys whose work was bedrock for the creation of the Internet.

It ain’t over til Minnesota has ICE’s battle flag

Gotta love it: "The Stop Presidential Embezzlement Act would impose a 100 percent tax on any settlement a president, vice president, cabinet member, or member of Congress receives from the government as a result of a lawsuit filed while in office."

Study Finds 98% Recidivism Rate Among Americans Who Burn Mouths On Hot Food https://theonion.com/study-finds-98-recidivism-rate-among-americans-who-burn-mouths-on-hot-food/

this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart 1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks 2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

"A recent survey shared by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute’s Center on Civility and Democracy reported that 72% of Americans want to see more civility in our nation’s politics." What Americans say they want and what they vote for are two entirely different things.

RFK Jr. Questions Efficacy Of Skin https://theonion.com/rfk-jr-questions-efficacy-of-skin/

Asking to be held in contempt to get 24 hours of sleep. Yikes.

"He crossed that line between everyday villainy and cartoonish super villainy."

“You’re my only friend, Mr. Snowball.” “I’m not your friend, Dan.”

Keeping that ball flight low, under the high winds of winter and directly aimed between the eyes of an evil authoritative state.

The New York Times writing 180 pieces in a 10 day period on Biden being old.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

it's incredible how if you put this entire dialog into the Left Behind series, it would basically work, but instead it's just IRL MN

This is a well written complaint.

The lesson for IU basketball this season is to not go up by 16. #iubb and #iuwbb both coughed up 16 point leads over the weekend. I don't make the rules.

LETTERMAN: “.. CBS News is a wreck. It’s just gone. .. The integrity of CBS News .. has been trampled on, pissed on and eviscerated by these idiots that have taken it over.” @letterman.bsky.social $PSKY youtu.be/CHYksa07oQA?...

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands. Video: @minnesotareformer.com with annotations by Bellingcat

When you've radicalized the host of Jeopardy, you've really accomplished something.

Mayor Frey is probably going to get a lecture on civility from one or more of our major news outlets.

"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit. If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.

Good stuff from @garbageday.email

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day. Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me. 🧵

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

The Cracker Barrel thing was THIS YEAR. We have three more years of this shit. Anybody who makes it to 2028 without looking like Nosferatu will be required by the state to start a skincare brand.

An attorney couldn't stop using Grok (?!) to help draft filings, producing "a flood of tainted filings" & apparently triggering the implosion of a law firm & 3 lawyers' careers 🤖😵 The court called her misconduct "particularly egregious & prolific" cases.justia.com/federal/dist...

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

Shift the Ape, speaking for the Tash-Aslan administration, is pleased to report that Narco-terrorist Caspian has been neutralized through kinetic strikes on the Dawn Treader authorized by Secretary of War Puzzle, the donkey.

Bummed as we were getting some good production from her, but can't argue the rationale. #iuwbb

Exactly this. Schools don't just educate children. They knit communities together. In 1848, Caleb Mills advocated, "Awaken the public mind, and concentrate it on the question, 'Am I not interested in the proper education of all that are socially and politically connected with me?'"

Trump, as is his wont, posted something shitty someplace where I don't go. Now my Bluesky feed has repeated iterations of people platforming and disseminating his words. The quoters object to his words, but for some reason they're bent on disseminating them more broadly than things worth reading.

I don't really expect this to ultimately be the case, but it would be a crazy world if the Indiana Senate was the rock upon which MAGA foundered.

They're gonna run out of Buckeyes if they keep sending them into Indiana to lose.

Indiana gerrymandering absolutely clobbered

Once you give in to a shakedown, chances are it will keep happening to you.

"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength." This is known. Less known is that "fair maps" means mid-decade gerrymandering that cracks Indianapolis into four districts and cuts right through the middle of my subdivision in West Lafayette.

Looks like the GOP's effort to create a multi-ethnic working class has run into a few minefields . . . which they laid themselves. Also looks like a 4 year degree continues to provide good insulation against economic shocks.

Excuse me while I whip this out...#iufb #1.
