My favorite headline in a while.
No need to feel bad. As our former local paper editor once said, "Every funeral is progress."
Like with the elder Kim they need to start replacing the "football" with a Steam deck version of Missile Command

the "did naming things as racist/sexist/&c. go to far?" conversation is one of those magical pseudo-conversations that exists to allow people to dwell in denial, imo
(she's right to push past it quickly but i think we can also scrutinize why it exists at all)
Keep in mind that Pete Hegseth's reported Pentagon spending spree happened just months after Trump and Republicans made devastating cuts to the social safety net in exchange for huge tax cuts for the rich.
And defense spending may soon hit a record $1.5 trillion.

2026: Year of the Kat
Still waiting on my FOIA. It seems there's more information here
A whistleblower said that a former DOGE staffer stole entire databases of Social Security data & is using them at a private firm.
This is a horrific breach of Americans' most sensitive information.
For over a year, we've warned that the Trump admin is making us vulnerable.
Three panel comic. Panel 1: a giant squid wearing a yellow Bart t-shirt and some terrible hypebeast shorts is looking in the mirror. It says, βneed groceriesβ¦ but all my clothes are in the laundry.β Panel 2: the squid, now also wearing hot pink crocs, exits its apartment and says, βeh. I wonβt see anyone.β Panel 3: two fisherman are pulling the squid to the surface of the water and pointing at it. An overlayed news caption reads: RARE SQUID SIGHTED - the fit was crazy

In the meme time . . .
So the shoegate I understand it is this:
1. Trump equals shoe size to dick size
2. Trump asks Rubio, Hegseth and the rest of the ilk about their shoe size.
3. They all yell, like 10, 11, big, huge.
4. Trump buys those for them, and they shamble around in shoes twice their size.
again, if you put this into a work of fictional satire about the Presidency, people would think you're laying it on a little too thick
and yet
"This many"
Eyyyy, finally an update on the Arctic Metagaz. Appears to not be actively burning anymore, which is always nice, but it hasn't sunk and is still a drifting, uncontrolled bomb in the middle of the Med. More than a run of the mill Hazard To Navigation.
Malta continues to have feelings about this.
Condensed books
We need to fix sewers all over America and Trump and his ilk should pay for it.
Better do something big and permanent while the wounds are fresh
