This is the most boomer bill to ever pass the legislature and governor's desk. So sick of politicians forcing this nonsense down our throats.

"MOM! GET OFF THE PHONE! I'M USING THE INTERNET!"

My mantra

imagine being the guy who accidentally said "weasel" at a weird time 2400 years ago

I REALLY hope they do this. It will be the final straw that breaks their back.

"I present to you, the 1st Annual Recession Games! A pageant of honor, courage, and sacrifice... to serve as a reminder of our generosity and our forgiveness. This is how we remember our past. This is how we safeguard our future. Happy Recession Games, and may the odds be ever in your favor!"

I'm sorry but #StarfleetAcademy looks so incredibly bad. CW teen drama bad.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov. He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

The Vanity Fair piece on Susie Wiles & Trump's inner circle is seriously well done but, by god, terrifying. Trump has literally surrounded himself with the dumbest people in politics. Why? Because they are "disruptors." Wiles has zero control over Trump's excesses & just shrugs off his insanity.

Just over 6,000 slop accounts blocked in my list now. I'm also including the rare spammer that uses AI hashtags for attention as an extra perk. I'm still adding to this every day, just part of my morning ritual looking up a few lists and adding offenders to this.

Get in folks (but I need gas money), we're reinventing the blues.

Caught in 4k

This is so utterly embarrassing for the FBI. Glasheen has 24 years of experience in anti-terrorism and he'd rather get up there and defend this administration's nonsense than resign.

In my teens, I was a fan of Clancy novels (especially Rainbow Six). I started browsing military fiction selection out there & I am noticing themes: 🪖 MC is always bad ass white guy with beard who fought in WoT 🪖 Islamaphobia 🪖 Left wing gov't betrayal (but right wing is always good) 🪖 Gun fetishism

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

What a "punch" of nostalgia. The year was 1991. Every boy was having a TMNT birthday party. These bad boys were on ice next to the pizza & sewer cover themed round cake. Some sweaty 20 year old dude was in a Michelangelo costume dancing to Vanilla Ice & we were all ninja fighting. Life was good. 🐢

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

Simone Veil was the first female President of the European Parliament. She also survived Auschwitz.

He actually did it.

I'd like to add to this: Don't shop at their stores (Home Depot). Don't watch their entertainment (WWE). Don't fly their fighter jets (Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet).

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Netflix is pure trash and HBO MAX is amazing. Netflix is going to drag down the quality of HBO MAX so bad. 😭

Because you're an adult you fucking muppet. You gotta pay the magic forward.

Little known DC Insider secret: They keep Johnson inside a deprivation tank and only allow him out for press conferences and floor votes.

Put a villain from the Handmaid's Tale in charge and you'll get the villain from the Handmaid's Tale.

I almost made it 90 days without getting sick this school year. Almost...

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders. What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

A McDonald's Big Mac Meal is now $12.39 in northern New Jersey. When I was in college, I was able to get the double cheeseburger, nuggets, fries, and a drink for half that.

A rare L at home for the Devils but at least Mr. Devil came by to fist bump us. It was a highlight for my daughters.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I'm grateful for my family, health, my hobbies, my job, my students, all my mutual follows on BSky, and animals.

That's a new one! We need to get to the bottom of this folks. Where are you from and what is Olly Olly (oxen free) to you?

My wife and I are watching a video and someone said "olly olly oxen free." She has never heard this before but it was the safe word when reaching base in tag when we were kids. Did anyone else have this phrase? Where did you grow up? She is from south New Jersey and I am from the north.

Recently saw a comment on the Reddit conservative community decrying federal judges that keep stopping Trump's agenda, including judges he appointed. Something to the effect of, "They just won't let him do what he wants!" Yes, you troglodytes, that is why we have 3 branches & separation of powers.

Dude was in everything!

@bsky.app I will pay you fifty dollars American to eliminate the discover tab. Think about it

Name your top 4 '80s films. Aliens Red Dawn Conan the Barbarian Blade Runner

A lot of memes about husbands ruining Thanksgiving with their controversial political takes. Which one of mine should I drop? All kids should be fed. Everyone has human rights. Public education is essential. Billionaires shouldn't exist. Corporations aren't people.

I really want for @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social to be the producer of ALL the Marcher kits in the future. 3D printing isn't accessible for everyone but Wargames Atlantic is (in both price and global shipping).

Trump is a giant piece of shit. Call his bluff Ukraine. The vast majority of the American people - including Republicans - are with you on this.

No shock here: The Guardian notes several phrases in the U.S. peace proposal to Ukraine appear to be directly translated from Russian. One standout is the line “It is expected that Russia will not invade neighboring countries,” a clunky English phrasing mirroring the Russian “ожидается.”
