It's all so tiresome

Hold on guys I need to check into my timeshare At THE Excalibur!

The Old Mormon Fort has a cat named Ranger Whiskers She is a DELIGHT #lasvegas #nevada #nevadastateparks

They're really leaning into it at the Old Mormon Fort. #newvegas #lasvegas #fallout

Did John Ringo write her talking points?

It’s harassment to tell me my opinions are bad

Another airport day is upon us

Anyway leaving in a bit to go to Vegas, McCarran is always a GODDAMN DELIGHT.

The two easiest TSA walkthroughs I've ever been on have been Manchester in NH and Kansas city. Kansas City has the various terminals physically separated so they have way more TSA people because they can't funnel them through it.

Big vibes of Kruschev remarking that whenever he wants the West to Squeal he'll squeeze Berlin. Trump is going to take this lesson away if the Dems don't get a win. "Well I'll just cut off food for the poor"

Adventures in Geo Bachelor. Sitting in my back porch listening to Desert Solitaire, drinking Applejack Brandy.

Ding ding ding. Said back on week one of this to a furloughed colleague: straight up the Admin will agree to the subsidies, then just use the allocated money for something else. And the Dems will be like "damn someone should do something about that. Not us tho"

this should be one of defining images of his second term, because its impossible to tell from looking at it whether he is too indifferent to care or too senile to notice

Arguably you could say that since this isn't the obvious response there's a serious critical thinking problem going on in rural VA, to me it's a bit like dynamiting fish in a barrel.

Lot of VA election posts on Threads that have Rest-of-VA complaining about NOVA throwing election, while NOVAns smugly responding they pay for their food stamps/services. Going to say this as someone who is pleased the GOP got spanked: saying "the rest of the state would be poor without NOVA" 1/*

There was a guy on my ship who was allegedly an actual psychopath, as in he didn't really feel emotions at all,band my gut instinct here is that even he would have gone through the performative motions or at least have a mild interest as to what was going on.

Simmons: [sweating] what?! Barker: oh yeah, new government mandate [siren calls] Barker: oh whoops there's the government mandated call to prayer Barker: everybody face mecca Frank Herbert: way ahead of you

I need this as a response image in Threads, except it says "did I just goon at an AI thirst trap?" For the large number of OWGs with bad takes the inevitably show their replies as hitting on AI pornbots

I remember seeing a back-to-school sale on Temu that included "threaded inline fuel filters", and I was just wondering, damn, what school am I supposed to be going back to, the School of the Americas?

They don’t want Dem voters to get any ideas, like for example that it’s possible to win an election without the support of the richest 100 people in the city/district/state/world.

I hate hate hate I am basically coerced into voting for the "sharp limitations on the RKBA" party because the ballot alternative is "fascism is good actually" party.

I occasionally dip into Threads and it is like an entirely different planet. It's like Facebook before people realized not every post needed to be public.

From Signalgate to spyware — the undoing of American security

They say that AI is going to steal my job but I would like to see AI listlessly drinking gin at 0550 in the living room while flipping through an old deployment cruisebook.

Oh no I can’t get ahead I can’t get a good job I can’t pay rent, you know who is to blame for this? Fucking kids having popsicles. Yeah you’d be a millionaire otherwise you muppet ass poor person blamer

Hypothetical: If you were a super-successful opportunist that had a shot at landing the man who was just about to become President when the old dying stroke victim finally succumbs, would you take a shot at the crown?

Ring a ding ding baby

in Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone plays a supercop from the violent 1990s frozen in time and sent to the future. He winds up fighting a group of terrorists until he realizes they're just trying to steal food, at which point he refuses to continue attacking them

Really, it could have been a bit on that old Frakes TV show

Blue Angels are doing circles over Foggy at the speed of heat. Very low using the Washington monument as a point of reference.

*lights camel* What if...what if we turned gasoline into jelly so it would stick to the enemy more.

I maintain that Robert Heinlein would have shoved Muskrat into a locker and gave him the bullying he so richly deserves.

"alright leaving early to get the flu and COVID shots" Coworker:"you still get the COVID shot?" "Yeah man I also have insurance, buckle my seatbelt, and carry where legal". Geez some people

is it good or bad that the president of the united states is bragging about the difficulty of a test he took that started with identifying an elephant

Lets be real here the absolute last thing Graham Platner wants right now is journalists talking to his old Marine buddies about the antics they used to get up to while drunk.

The devil offers you your humanity, unchained. The Nazis declare you subhuman, and offer enslavement and extermination.

If you are looking at what is going on and still say "you know only the police should own semiautomatics", you do not even have the defense of living in calm, politics as normal times and so can't play dumb to the danger.

Notice how fast the billionaire stepped up to fund the military, but no one is stepping up to fund SNAP? No one will step up to fight for a living wage, healthcare, disability supports or education. They want to keep us down because it benefits them. The billionaires will always stick together.

Isn't it this man's profession to research and explain things?

Thinking of the early 2020 rhetoric of Pete B. "Eating those chicken wings, like a rat" after the Iowa Caucus.

put it in the louvre

NBC News finds that: -- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six. -- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam. -- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
