I hereby formally begin my list of language pet peeves: #1 discrete vs discreet A measurable amount vs knowing when to keep your mouth shut

My big takeaway from Trump's lengthy Air Force One gaggle is that he's talking about shredding the Constitution by being in office for a third term increasingly openly. If you don't think he try it, you're in denial.

Worse! There is money in the food bank but Trump won’t release it. WTF. Congress controls the purse strings. This needs to stop!

If he can find a way to do it, he will. Full stop.

No, man, Republicans are in charge of the government. Do you think Democrats are the ones who keep telling the House to stay on vacation week after week in order to prevent the release of the Epstein Files? Because I'm pretty positive that's *you* who's been doing that.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

oh my god you have to follow caseylowerymusic on ig i'm howling and his little giggle is the best instagram.com/caseylowerymusic

This morning my house is 60F. I have the fireplace and I’m rejoicing that I don’t have to the MFing AC bills anymore 🎉

Well worth reading. All terrifying and all true open.substack.com/pub/jefftied...

An embarrassingly obvious point, but... This. Is. Illegal. If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed. In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists. www.cnn.com/2025/10/25/b...

Let’s just find another candidate, mmkay? There’s time. Don’t dig in and try to keep him

Bessent stammers as Welker presses him on why Trump won't negotiate with Democrats to end the shutdown

Just the weakest people ever

Every time they mention it...call it what it is... #EpsteinBallroom

Doesn’t Trump run around saying that *he* is paying for the ballroom?

The...? Oh! He means The Epstein Ballroom.

This is seems awfully similar to current events

This is very, very bad

Just a reminder: We're not fooled by his lies. Also, #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles!!!

Look at these beautiful babies ♥️🐾♥️ Plotting to overthrow the world. Trying to spell "I".

(Something worth some contemplation... one of the main reasons that George the 3rd became intolerable to the Colonies.)

I honestly think we're underestimating a) the psychic toll watching the rule of law be disregarded is taking on legal professionals and b) the amount of fighting lawyers and their teams are doing, from their front lawns to all levels of courtrooms.

The Winchester Ballroom

Great idea!

LMAO. If you think this is true of Star Trek (or any sci fi), it is because you affirmatively pushed non-male Trekkies out of your group with sexism and you should work on that.

Nooooooooooo

This is absolutely me. I check various news sources, but I’m very much limiting consumption

A lot of people are pretty freaked out by the current political state of affairs and carrying on because they don't know what else to do, except out one foot in front of the other. And I think a lot of Very Online folks mistake that for "normie" indifference

Yes. I presume this image is already at Kinko’s for easel sized trial exhibits .

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Total federal spending is up +7% in 2025 over 2024 year-to-date to Oct 20. The story that the fed govt is tightening its belt is contradicted by its own real-time expenditure data. Admin spectacularly hammering some things but raising spending elsewhere. Was -7% just after Inauguration Day.

Also, if you have the good fortune not to need SNAP, shut the everloving fuck up about what recipients buy. Certain kinds of food are not morally virtuous. You’re doing the Calvinist shit when you judge someone who’s trying to get by for getting like…protein bars and spices or cake mixes.

Yes. It’s not indifference. It’s survival.

wow, which common vaccine was it?
