L'esprit de l'escalier

Honestly, we should just all be glad Trump knows it is spelled strait and not straight.

He does know that right?

Easy answer, there is something wrong with society for the oxymoron that is "influencer culture" to be a thing at all.

Since culture is a set of norms or values held and passed down through generations, influencers, who take political/moral positions for money, by definition have no culture.

This could be the excuse you’ve been looking for to reach out to literally anyone—go tag five people in the comments who should sign up for Project 218. 👀

Awesome, another reason for fertilizer, and more importantly food, to get more expensive.

Also another nail in the coffin of the penny, RIP my copper friend. I'll always remember putting you on train tracks so you could be smashed.

You just need to focus group oil executives.

So between this and duct tape banana, I guess anything can be art now.

Just the most recent broken promise to our veterans.

My dad was a Korean War vet and he was never able to get his full benefits because of the 1973 Personal Records Fire destroying crucial documents and the Army royally sucking at doing anything about their screw up.

Trump is that guy in Risk who spreads his forces so thin that he gets rolled in like two turns by an even halfway decent opponent.

Just the most recent young girls that Donald Trump has assaulted.

This is likely because both progressives and conservatives feel this about the other side at the current moment...don't think this is all us lefties on Bluesky thinking Republicans are moral hypocrites, they question our morals too (even though they are wrong).

Kristi Noem out as DHS Secretary; Trump announces Sen. Markwayne Mullin as replacement The announcement comes amid criticism of DHS spending under Noem, and as Congress has allowed the department's funding to lapse.

So did Mark or Wayne get appointed to lead DHS? And is his other personality still in Congress threatening to fight witnesses?

WALZ: What a 'stop payment' meant by what the administration did last week is 400,000 children without healthcare

COMER: We believe that's your fault

I remember seeing Djungelskog at a festival once before they got super mainstream. It was a great show.

Sie ist ein Model und sie sieht gut aus.

A big consequence will be the destruction of our environment so AI can generate an essay on why the sky is actually green if you look at the sun for long enough.

While part of me is glad for the herd thinning potential, the environmental risks will harm intelligent people as well as the idiots.

Tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews protest Israeli military draft in Jerusalem Tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox men covered the entrance to Jerusalem in a sea of black Thursday to protest plans to draft them into the military, singing, clapping and holding signs saying they w...

Not just Yair, even after the law changed to finally force ultra orthodox Israelis to be drafted like all other Israelis few have actually enlisted as legally required.

The Mango Mussolini is working hard to raise prices.

I'm pretty sure "compute" is a jam eaten exclusively by computers.

Donald Trump is planning to use his attack on Iran to justify a power grab over voting in the 2026 midterms. The fact that the attack violates the Constitution won’t stop him from trying. It is our job to expose this plot and ensure that it does not succeed. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Yep, better off to do your own verifying rather then trusting someone else to vet things correctly these days.

It depends, when I see people posting sus content from Twitter, i.e. obvious conspiracy bullshit, that makes it really easy to tell which accounts to mute.

I didn't think anyone still needed this spelled out after those two attorneys used ChatGPT to write their case and it fabricated cases that cited other fictitious cases and nearly (should have) got them both disbarred.

This is especially bad because every real case has a number to look it up.

You aren't being "attacked" when asked for a source for a claim that is verifiable, especially because Twitter and Russia are known lie factories.

Especially when the image is very old and suddenly being recycled... that is a red flag something is BS...if it were real there would be a new image.

TBH I get why it thought that was Dutch, there are so many vowels in Dutch words it's ridiculous in the best of ways.

I just hope people are posting things that are accurate/factual, because posting things that aren't is what helped cause this.

It brings to mind the retort "takes one to know one," in this case, it takes a terrorist strongman to know one.
