If I were Tommy Tuberville, Iโ€™d feel pretty disrespected by all the people calling Markwayne Mullin the dumbest U.S. senator.

Should be fun seeing the GOP blame the courts for not letting the IRS get away with giving taxpayer info to ICE while simultaneously cutting IRS funding because they broke the law 42,695 times by giving taxpayer info to ICE.

Pardon me, I couldn't help but overhear. I would like to have a civil conversation about your statement. Would you mind showing me evidence of any negative thing a politician has ever done to you?

My old job hired me as a temporary hire for a job tailored to exactly me (it was part 2 of a negotiation I led part 1 of). Then the temp period ended and they listed my job and made me apply for it, but also made me field calls from other interested applicants. It was the worst possible process.

Now I feel guilty about how bad I was at that game.

The Ethics in AI people probably could have come up with a better term, acronym-wise, than Human-In-The-Loop Review (HITLR)

Yeah, I have to outline or I never get started, but even with that preparation, I still feel like I canโ€™t tell if something makes sense until the words are actually on the page.

Gotchaโ€”letโ€™s dig into that step by step.

1. ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ผ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ต, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. Youโ€™re not just immobileโ€”youโ€™re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

Itโ€™s frustrating, because he isnโ€™t less competent now than he was when elected. Heโ€™s horrible and criminal, like he always was. The remedy for that is impeachment, which has lower requirements than 25th amendment removal anyway.

And also even if they do, yes.

Agreed completely.

A reminder: for the 25th amendment to be invoked without Trumpโ€™s consent, Vance, a majority of Trumpโ€™s cabinet, and 2/3 of the house and senate have to agree to vote him out.

Itโ€™s not happening unless the GOP is more scared of Trump being president than they are of Trumpโ€™s voters.

The two-party system has problems. There are reforms that might help, but there are real constitutional and practical impediments to getting them done quickly.

And until we get those reforms done, a two-party system is what we will have, so maybe also work on getting the not-Trump folks elected.

Two wooden street signs in a penguin village in the arctic, pointing in opposite directions. One reads โ€œะฟะตั€ะตัั‚ั€ะพะนะบะฐโ€ (perestroika), and the other reads โ€œะณะปะฐัะฝะพัั‚ัŒโ€ (glasnost)

Today I had to try to explain the Cold War to my 8YO because she asked me what the street signs in Pingu meant.

All of this rapid descent into a fascist dictatorship is just a distraction from the price of groceries. Just ignore it.
