Sparkle Motion (Don't doubt my commitment)

Wow, I didn't realize gas prices were still pretty high in CA.

Also, a white dude who went to an expensive boarding school who's cosplaying as a working class blue collar guy. I mean he should be the poster child or all the things they're against and they're backing him because he looks unkept and wears a flannel.

Would that even need to happen? I mean it would still takes years for this to even phase in. Over that time you'd have retirements. You just stop hiring replacements.

That still won't fix the problem as that's not causing it.

I had gone to the local ER, expecting a run-of-the-mill gallbladder removal that would have me back at work by Monday. Instead, they shipped me down to the big regional hospital in Fargo, North Dakota, where an MRI showed a gallstone, yes, but also a 9.5-centimeter tumor wrapped tightly around the main bile duct and several major blood vessels in the liver. The gastrointestinal specialist was in the room with my wife and me when the radiology report came back. I watched his face drop and his entire demeanor change as he read through it for the first time. He was an affable guy roughly the same age as me. “We just don’t see this in guys our age,” he said. I was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, or cancer of the bile duct. As far as cancers go, it’s an especially brutal one: The five-year survival rate is around 10 percent, and most people diagnosed with it are dead within a year. That was going to be me. Cholangiocarcinoma is deadly in large part because it is so rare: There are only about 8,000 new cases in the U.S. each year. Cancer treatment advances patient by patient, clinical trial by clinical trial. Each patient is a new data point. When there are few data points, the science advances very slowly. “There are some chemo and radiation therapies that can slow it down a little bit, maybe buy you some extra time, but nothing that can kill it,” the GI doc explained. “The only way to cure it is to cut it out completely, either by surgically resecting the liver or doing a full-on transplant, but by the time most people are showing symptoms, it’s too late for either of those.” “Is it too late for me?” I asked. “I don’t know,” he said.

For Slate, I wrote about what it's like to get a terminal cancer diagnosis when you're 42. slate.com/life/2026/03...

They definitely have close relative that did and they won't confront them about it.

ICE is testing our humanity and the strength of our democracy.

The work is ours to defend the America we want. And I know we can do it together.

Remember, leftists didn't give him credit for trying to forgive their student loans. In fact they blamed him for SCOTUS blocking it. So it's never really about policy.

No you see he's very smart to play Trump like that. No I won't be taking questions about whether Trump honors his deals and commitments, why do you ask?

I mean, they are the ultimate deciders are they not? Are you saying voters don't have agency?

I'm beginning to think this guy has a humiliation fetish.

He failed at selling alcohol, steaks and gambling to Americans so that checks out.

This seems like all big songs in 1983?

Come on, this is apparently the most important thing in your life today, what are these mysterious reasons you refuse to list?

Congrats on writing the dumbest thing on the internet today.

Because there is literally no good reasons.

Sure Jan.

That's not pro war asshole. It's just saying Iran sucks but nothing about bombing or invading it.

Weird that Republicans didn't whine like you are when Zell Miller endorsed Bush.

The amount of outrage the Anti-War people show over this will be a tiny fraction of their still daily rageouts about Kamala Harris doing a girlboss with Liz Cheney.

Gamer gate was where lot of propagandization began

She ran it while being black. Mediocre white guys who are too chicken shit to run for anything themselves and can't convince their Trumper parents to stop voting for him has thoughts.

They know Trump never follows through when deals and yet they think Mamdani sucking up is going to work? It's like they've had their heads up their asses for 10 years now.

So you're cool with him selling out NY.

Oh fuck off with this. You just don't want to admit a lot of your family and friends are racist so you'll make dumb excuses like this. Why don't you sort out your own fascist relatives and stop being so lazy and expecting someone else to call them on their racism.

Friends, if someone is telling you "AIPAC runs America," that's not an assertion. That person is not concerned about money in politics, or Israel trying to steer US military/foreign policy. It might look that way, but the tell is "runs America." That's code for a Jewish conspiracy, ie, antisemitism.

Senator Mullin on January 6th

Notice he says he had the tattoo BEFORE joining the military?

Kristi Noem, you admitted under oath to me that you broke the law. Losing your job won’t protect you from accountability when we take back the House.

And the buck doesn't stop here. We must abolish ICE and make Trump and his entire administration answer for their lawlessness.

Honestly, didn't have AI ruining summoning-the-dead on my list of jobs they'll destroy.
