Well, I know how I'm gonna explain them to people from now on.

There are 75,977 people born in Somalia who are now citizens of the United States, including those specific people. He is talking about US citizens. He is talking about *us*. The truth is that none of us are garbage, and the job of the US president is to represent all of us. We, the people.

>blow up fishing boats and kill indiscriminately because he thinks they might be involved in the drug trade >pardons a guy actually convicted for being heavily involved in the drug trade God I hate this timeline.

I don't think I've shared them yet, and this is partially the fault of @goobermunch.bsky.social , but for anyone who's never listened to Ex Deo before...do that. Like Sabaton, they're history metal, except they're hyperfocused solely on Ancient Rome. And "I, Caligvla" goes HARD

Good lord, this is vile (the BBC, not Jessie, to be clear).

Anyone know if lawsky's gone through the filing on this yet? Since, I'm very much not a lawyer, but at least so far it does seem like some of the charges definitely sound like they were flawed (like making false statements when the statements were unsworn and/or irrelevant to the charges)

Unless you speak Swedish, subtitles are a must, because god bless this man's absolutely serious delivery for what is clearly an absurdly satirical video. Well, clear to everyone but Youtube, I guess.

Anybody else fully expect him to just have the turkeys killed off-camera afterward? If there were ever a President who'd decide "nah, fuck 'em" and then have the birds killed and prepared anyway just to save a few bucks, it'd be this asshole.

Oh dear. There's (at least) two different interpretations for that. One of them is, uh...it's definitely the exact opposite of what you, as a restaurant, want to be telling people. "HUNGRY? One look at our food, and you'll lose your appetite!"

Think it's a good idea for everyone to have a song in their back pocket for if they ever end up in a karaoke situation, and honestly picking something you can just have fun with is probably the best move. Mine's *considerably* less ambitious than this pick though (the list portion would end me).

And officially unemployed. Given the absolute shitshow Trump's turned the economy into, this ought to be fun.

Starting to think these "alpha male" manosphere influencers are on a mission to kill off satire entirely, at this point. Because where do you even start with something like this?

Homework, pop quiz, exam, essay, capstone project, thesis, any of it. Really shouldn't be a radical concept that if you aren't actually the one doing the work, you should be graded accordingly. And I say that as someone who was DEFINITELY the least favorite student of a few teachers and professors.

It was how many months ago we were all told the free speech violations and campus raids were to protect us from antisemitism? Honestly surprised any of them were smart enough to realize they should wait to make any "nazis are fine, actually" announcements if they wanted the lie to work on anyone

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

Sure seems like Muskrat sent his robot son to a re-education camp just to make it like him

jfc, Trump's brain is this cooked and he still has the nuclear codes.

Very likely gonna be unemployed soon, so the most I can do is repost this year, but for anyone who can spare a few bucks and is looming to do some good with it, please consider making Greg's life more challenging for a good cause!

Silver lining: This supposedly isn't permanent. But to add to the point: they're subjecting us to this for no other reason than they can, and I genuinely think having nothing but regular construction scaffolding would have been more appealing.

Yeah, no, this actually the perfect time for internal recriminations. While the betrayal is still fresh. This needs to be handled, not swept under the rug and forgotten about in the name of expediency.

It has zero chance of actually working, but dammit I am going to continue trying to force this man to STOP TOUCHING THE ARACHNUKE through sheer tyranny of will because I have consumed enough horror over the years to know nothing good could possibly come from fucking around with 111,000 spiders.

PSA / heads up for anyone who sees this, but a new account is going around posing as bsky security and phishing for info:

Winding down the night watching youtube docs and thinking about how different things would be if certain interwar [civilian] aviation trends didn't change. Specifically, the prevalence of flying boats for air travel. Because for a while there, things got a liiiittle insane with the scale.

BRAK O LANTERN

I know other media outlets around the country are running with "diseased monkeys with COVID, herpes and hepatitis are loose in Mississippi!" And yes, it makes great clickbait. Those posts have thousands of RTs. But it's just not accurate. Our factual report by @nickjudin.bsky.social:

Okay, I live predominantly (but not exclusively) on the Star Wars side of the Space Fandom border, but even I'm curious what kind of chemical fumes you need to be huffing--and for how long--to come to the conclusion this article did.

I am begging people to have at least the basic moral judgment of The Joker when it comes to Nazism

speaking as a metalhead: the guy who hasn't removed his nazi tattoo is not a guy you want to be around. I don't care what he says about how he got it. if he didn't get it covered or lasered, you cannot trust him.

Okay to be fair everyone I've ever met who's had to spend any prolonged time around penguins would confirm, very emphatically, that this is correct.

Print is dead

Holy SHIT did I not expect Sabaton's latest about Napoleon to be anywhere near this good! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAaA...

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Catching up on some of the artists I like again, and in addition to being a great song, "Ghosts" feels surprisingly Sith-coded (complimentary) when you start paying attention to the lyrics.

Same but also it's a little frustrating whenever the second string cast comes up in the middle of it like "OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING" or "WHO TOLD YOU TO START AN UPRISING" and you're just like shhhhhh, they're having a moment, this is bonding, they might even have a cute laugh about later

Can't believe I missed that Fat Electrician released an Audie Murphy video. Also glad I'm not the only one who refers to him as "Captain America, but real" because if you're unfamiliar, I promise you, that is in no way an exaggeration. Except instead of a super serum, he had fudged paperwork.

I'll just let this one introduce itself. Also, I *STILL* hate this fucking thing. Which is also why it's so great.

...why do I feel like this is going to be so poorly implemented that his stupid 30% tariff on "upholstered furniture" ends up being applied to any automakers still offering upholstered seats?

Clever of her to make one of the "demands" be the very thing they were claiming the deal would provide, though. "We're the main reason people are watching, so you'll be paid in exposure." "I'll take some ad time so my other projects can gain some exposure, then" "Absolutely not, we're done here."

Just saw this described as "tankie-panky", and five past seven is too early in the morning for me to be laughing this hard

Just moving it out of the thread to avoid going too far off topic, but for the curious: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXSl...

I genuinely don't understand how they could possibly fuck up such a basic tenet of Christianity without doing it on purpose. No amount of ignorance could explain this, this is like *one of the most basic things at the core of the whole religion*

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

So um. This is what's been up with me for the last year. I hate hate hate asking but very much appreciate your support. www.gofundme.com/f/fund-me-if...

The Republicans themselves even prepared the template for this. Just vote no and say we still don't have all the facts, and that you don't feel like the aftermath of a tragedy is the appropriate time to politicize the issue. There you go, job done. Zero reason to play along with this nonsense.

Not sure how much impact I'd have considering I haven't had TV for over a decade, but figured I'd make it easier for any of my fellow desert rats: We don't have any Sinclair stations in AZ, but we do have one Nexstar, and their public contact info can be found here: www.nexstar.tv/stations/kazt/

Sisyphus always intrigued me He never decided to stop The point of it lay in the trying And not in attaining the top

DO NOT RSVP FOR A PROTEST, ESPECIALLY NOW. SERIOUSLY.

If I want to convince anyone I'm not bothered by what they have to say, I'd consider writing an entire dumbass thinkpiece about how much it doesn't bother me to be counterproductive (Noah). Same with screenshotting & posting it on the site that supposedly doesn't matter (TCW). But what do I know?

Fuck it, Bug Dimmadome
