with the holiday season now officially upon us, it's time to start playing our favorite christmas songs here's one of mine

Among other travesties in this statement, National Guard soldiers are not "law enforcement"

Evergreen

My microwave sings a little song when my Hot Pocket is done. Should it have the right to vote?

“You will be visited by three spirits”

No. Abolish. Fire. Prosecute. This is the *moderate* position.

Note—every time a Federal judge rules against Trump, Trump claims "the judge is usurping the President's power." That's a lie. Judge's don't "usurp" POTUS's power—they enforce Constitutional & Congressional limits on power. Wannabe kings don't like it, but that's how separation of powers works.

Crockett on MTG resigning: "Honestly, I was like, you got to be kidding. You're on the other side of the president for one week and you can't take the heat? Imagine what it is to sit in my shoes."

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.

Ah yes, the law. Something this administration is famously good at following in good faith and not trying to warp to their every heinous whim.

"Microsoft warns that Windows 11's agentic AI could install malware on your PC: 'Only enable this feature if you understand the security implications.'" bro what-- what are we doing here, exactly, how can you--anyone be okay with this?

1. "The Trump" 🤣 2. At least the lighting director has a sense of humor, he looks like Emperor Palpatine guest starring on the Gilded Age. What even is this setup?

So, killing children via starvation. Got it.

Add destruction of evidence and obstruction of justice to the charges then.

Capitalism is incredible. Sorry, former teacher, your retirement fund is gone because 5 guys who've collectively never worked a full hour told the banks to put all the money in the country into virtual girlfriend futures

Notice how all the quotes in favour are from the C-suite (you know, the people that have a history of messing up development of games) and everyone against are the actual Devs (you know, the people making the games) Can you see the pattern here? Maybe we shouldn't listen to the C-suite.

Yeah, I got ADHD Ahhhhhh Dis Head Dontwork

del Toro: don't worry del Toro: i'm going to acknowledge byron with a big quote at the end Shelley: Shelley: why del Toro: because, you know del Toro: he's del Toro: um del Toro: i mean it kinda fits? Shelley: Shelley: put my fuckin quote at the end Shelley: i wrote the fucking thing!

By lying their assessment off about the cause of the shutdown and taking an extended vacation on tax payer dime? Says a lot about what you think your job is, Mikey.

it's almost like tariffs increase prices

Post your favorite Star Trek character, wrong answers only. (Does it count if we all know who this is based on?l

Not to get all Sun Tzu on it, but when the enemy is weak and divided amongst itself, you do not relieve the enemy by allowing their partisans into your camp. You drive them closer together, force them into tighter company, and intensify their conflict.

“When talking about human trafficking, especially involving minors, we need NUANCE,” says Megyn Kelly.

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

This sounds reasonable but is 100% wrong. Whether you or agree or disagree with a study is completely immaterial. What matters is whether the study was conducted properly and generates valid results. And it's impolitic to say but it's true: you have to have some level of expertise to judge that.

🚨 Tim Kaine is saying the quiet part out loud - underscoring why anyone shouldn't be satisfied with any of the "no" statements or posts from Dem Senators. If Dem Senators are truly disgusted with this save they should be calling on #SurrenderSchumer to step aside as the Leader immediately.

So either Schumer agreed to fold like a lawn chair and is using these spineless chumps as cover or he is incapable of enforcing meaningful cohesion and discipline among Dems when they have everything to gain from being united. Either way it means he is unfit leadership for this moment.

Most people never have a house fire. So why are we wasting money on a fire department?

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

And hasn’t missed a paycheck. 🤡 @bresreports.bsky.social

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

If only Gorsuch had that realization roughly about the time he thought presidents should have immunity from everything. #SheShed

we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate

make them answer for why they care more about checking a child’s underwear than whether you can afford your electric bill!

I think the USAID cuts and anti-vaccine stuff gives Trump a higher body count, but the Bush guys internalized the idea that right wing media could insulate them from normal electoral accountability and the second Trump term is directly downstream from that.

"Democrats Deeply Worried About the Repercussions of Victory" could be the defining statement of our generation.

Very bad news. Teen Vogue was doing work other journalists were not.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Since it's Halloween, I'm going to remind y'all of the critical factor in any good horror kill. And simply put, it is this:

As I spend this Halloween reflecting on the nature and worth of entities we choose to represent, I turn to the ideal of Spider-Man for what I wish to embody through the next year. Determined, optimistic, clever, and, above all, altruistic at all costs.

If you just banked that coffee money every week and denied yourself every other instance of life’s gastronomic pleasures, however small and ordinary, you could save enough to make the down payment on that starter house in [checks notes] five hundred and seventy three years

Dunno man, maybe we should listen to establishment dems with their 20% approval and ability to win nearly half the time against actual nazis. Maybe they know the secret sauce <<MAXIMUM SARCASM>>

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

So,additional thought on this: "Using grammar and the rules of language accurately clearly shows you didn't write it" is an undercurrent of these accusations and that is... very telling about the state of writing comprehension these days.

"Oxford commas are a sign you write with ai" I will find such a unique way to rip out your spine that they'll make a movie about it
