...yes, that'll help. I know we're supposed to get the "politicians we deserve" so this means some of us have been doing some real shady shit What a bunch of useless morons. But please, chip in $5

This reservoir dogs reboot is terrible. Mr Brown at the back, behind Mr Yellow and Mr Green

We now go to a live look in at Torquay United's season

In any sort of functioning country, this would be a government-ending scandal. There would subpoenas issues to those who approves the strike, those in charge of AI platforms that allowed this to happen...basically everybody involved but we're..where we are so instead...*collective shrug*

Tickets will sell well if it features (by then) World Cup Winner Brendon Aaronson

Oh, you think this is your seat, do you? I beg to differ, hooman

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

"Yeth, marthter" is probably how he got the job

Surely some sort of intelligence test should be required to run for Congress.

Snack table at the blood drive has the usual fare; Cheez-Its, mini oreos, trail mix. It also has a box of crayons, so finally I feel seen

Downward facing cat. He's entirely asleep

I just crossed the Delaware, very much like George Washington Well, he did in a boat, and I was in a Kia (and there was a bridge), but it's still very similar

I mean, it'd probably have to be Chumbawumba

When there are costs that cannot be negotiated or cut because of entrenched profiteering - private landlords, utilities, health "insurance", possibly fuel (for heating and travel) - one of the only vaguely fungible expenditures is often food. Go hungry or be out on the street.

I've been enjoying the Winter Olympics, but I'm reminded that it's just not as good, or inclusive, as the summer version. Half the planet (at least?) never sees snow, so of course that's the case. I would ordinarily be very much looking forward to LA '28 but..*gestures vaguely*

I think we all know the solution to this Yes. It's time for BASEketball

Trump and his cronies are very much the "fuck yo kids" crowd, both on Epstein Island and with the EPA

Fucking hell, Blumenthal

Not sure whether it's case of "spine found" or "spine forcibly presented by voters who have made it clear that previous passivity is not acceptable" Still, it's a start.

It makes sense as soon as you accept that it was never about the second amendment's intention to defend against tyranny, and was all about being able to threaten, wound and kill those who are seen as "the other team"

Currently rewatching Bridgerton on this snowy day, and just popped in to say "holy hell, Regé-Jean Page is a good looking man"

If there isn't one called Puck Buddies, I'm going to be sorely disappointed

I try not to watch the news these days

Y'know, I'm beginning to think maybe my background isn't that impressive after all, and that - go with me on this - no person at any of the *checks notes* 205 companies have read the damn resume or cover letter.

“you won’t get away with this”

Do your fucking job, Chuck. Hold the administration to account for its egregious crimes

No cheating, repost with the most recent photo of your pet

Hey I have seen this! My stepson took me to the cinema to to see it! It was really good, too

Toepick!

Unexpected cat cuteness

First snow day while driving for Amazon. This will surely suck

Have now been out of work* for more than 8 months. It's very tough out there. No responses, AI filtering of resumes, all that stuff. So if anybody knows of anyone looking for somebody in digital marketing, please let me know. (* I'm delivering Amazon but that is seasonal and not sustainable)

It'll be good to see the lad finally have his dreams realised

Water, water everywhere And not a drop to drink

Every day, it becomes easier to believe that Jeffries is a GOP plant They couldn't have found a more submissive, enabling minority leader if they'd spent five years grooming one

I say this every time I read @brianphillips.bsky.social, but... This is so good. (Could possibly only have been improved by signing off with "because colonialism". Iykyk)

Normally I'm ok with writers getting paid for their work but I'm not singing up to Lizza's substack. As much as I want read it, I don't want to *encourage* this sort of thing.

There is only one answer and every American soccer fan knows it

Nobody involved with this story emerges well, and it's only Part 1

I am open to being Harry Kane's backup at the World Cup.

Incredible how much Fifa has fucked up the global game. Nothing but venal greed

Surely all set in Chicago. 4. My Best Friends Wedding 3. Ferris Bueller's Day Off 2. Adventures in Babysitting 1. Blues Brothers (He also occasionally looks at cardinals and asks "Orange whip? Orange whip?" before saying "Three Orange Whips" to his camerlengo)

I used to *love* this game. Haven't played in about 5 months now

I can't tell if he's evil or just a fucking idiot (could be both). Being "able to go out & negotiate their own insurance" is no help when your have a weak negotiating position such as a life threatening illness or pre-existing condition.

Emailed both my senators asking them to take steps to replace Schumer as Minority Leader. Feels like yelling into a chasm, a bit, but who knows. Maybe it'll help

Demand That Chuck Schumer Step Down As Minority Leader Sign the petition: c.org/c5PbGWk6hM (Change(dot)org will ask you to donate. You *do not* need to donate.)

C'mon man. What are you even for? "I will not support [the thing that got enough Dem votes to pass even though Im supposed to be in charge of them]" I really hope that plausible deniability does not prevent a primary challenge.

I dunno, it feels like Dem leadership totally wanted to cave and just found the 8 least-exposed senators to do it. Cowards

It's incredible that the Democrats at the national level are so bad at doing the thing that is the whole point of their existence. Such a craven, cowardly bunch
