It seems like every time they manage to pick up a thread they just put it down again instead of pulling on it.

This stuff gives me incandescent rage.

I'm not sure what it says about me that these are so mesmerizing.

These fucking weasels know exactly what they're doing when they talk like this.

Also all federally funded road projects are paid for from those taxes which are already stressed because they haven't risen with inflation for many years.

It's fine. I'm fine. Just fine.

This was such a good job by the NYT's Shawn McCreesh.

He asked a very pointed and direct question to Trump about the school bombing, leading the president to corner himself (was he claiming the US sold Iran Tomahawks???) before admitting he doesn't "know enough" and will abide by the final report.

I'm so fucking tired of dealing with easily disproveable bullshit over and over again.

No they fucking didn't, goddamnit.

Passive voice is poison.

Daylight Saving Time is increasingly hard to notice when my digital devices are like, "What? Nothing happened. We know what time it is."

And my stove is left blinking and screaming, "IT HAPPENED! TIME SHIFTED UNNATURALLY! THEY'RE ALL LYING! ONLY I KNOW! ONLY I REMEMBER!"

Related: Loudly claim elections are rigged. (Or if you’re trying to retain respectability, raise vague concerns about “irregularities” that the public reads as endorsing those claims.) Then when challenged, allow maybe there’s no evidence for rigging but measures are needed to “restore voter trust.”

Yes

Fox News: “We regret showing outdated footage of Trump at the dignified transfer not wearing a baseball hat, thus failing to honor the fallen by informing our viewers that the hat, normally $55, is on sale at the MAGA merch store for $29.99 for a limited time only.”

love the ceremonial start in downtown Anchorage!

I only know a few things about the military, but one of them is that when a hat is on or off is very important to them.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Trying to pass off an old video is crazy.

It's not helping much is a wild thing to say, confirms it's happening, and that the value of the assistance is greater than 0.

It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.

"Why do all these slurs keep showing up in my group chat?"

I liked it overall and looking forward to the next season, but man I wish the story was advanced just a little more thoroughly than it has been. There was a whole episode where it was just two people existing separately.

There was war because Trump had a feeling Iran was going to attack.
There will be peace when Trump has a feeling they've surrendered.
Specific enough?

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

I'm so tired of being incandescently angry on the inside while I just try to do normal person things on the outside. This can't be healthy.

Objectives and strategies to accomplish them are woke.
