This is the nuttiest framing ever
As millions of Americans were losing their SNAP benefits the Pentagon spent:
🔹️$6.9 million worth of lobster tails🦞
🔹️$15.1 million for ribeye steak 🥩
🔹️$2 million for Alaskan king crab 🦀
🔹️ and even $98,329 on a Steinway & Sons grand piano

The right is also heavily invested in the myth that raining bombs on a country and creating a power vacuum by destroying their conventional military is equivalent to "freeing" the people of that country.
It worked so well in Iraq after all.
Ok side note... are those hoops lower than 10 feet? They have to be. Something is not right here
The new Iranian leader has had his mother, father, wife and son killed by our bombs, according to reports. Any wish by him to make Iran a nuclear power is certainly undiminished by this. And, we've intercepted comms suggesting Iran is activating sleeper terror cells. All a bargain at $5 a gallon.
This is real???? 😭😭
I hate those mornings when you just can't wake up. Like I'm up, but if I crawled back into bed right now I'd be asleep in 4 seconds.
I think a lot of us millennials & older really take it for granted that we were the last of only a couple generations where there was an all-encompassing campaign to encourage literacy. Everyone used to agree upon it. There were commercials with your favorite celebrities just being like, "READ!"

I feel like the basketball court is the male equivalent of the women’s bathroom
Once we step inside, we all friends
I convinced my friends to do adult kickball one year. Everyone got injured. One dude had to have knee surgery. Do not recommend. 😭

You average normie Democrat in 2026 loves AOC, wants to abolish ICE, and thinks Israel shouldn’t get another penny from us.
It’s laughable how out of touch centrist consultants and politicians are.
There have been so many times, but when they started taking horse deworming paste to treat a viral infection in humans it really felt like a new level.
"Don't be paranoid, that type of stuff only happens in the movies!" they insisted about things that were, are, and continue to be happening in the very real world every single day.
Good reminder that allowing tech people to think they're cool and funny was the beginning of the final downfall of society.
If and when it's over here, I'm going back to the original text-based social media:

I always judge a donut shop by their classic glaze, but I'd also like to see what that Danny Boy is all about
This is, quite simply, not remotely true. One generation ago? In 2002? What about two and three generations ago? Nope. Not remotely true. It doesn't advance discussions of political economy to make absurd claims like this.
No snow in the 10 day forecast, we might make it! Hopefully your season is gonna be over after this one too
Lol the amount of downed mailboxes I saw driving around town yesterday was wild
I can see how it might sound that way to you.
In the context I heard it, it was more in line with the post I was quoting that said you can't heal something unless you're brave enough to say it out loud. Like if you can speak the thing you're afraid of saying, then you can face it and fix it.
Ugh. Just enough to be annoying. I feel like me and you have been trading snowstorms this winter like Ali and Foreman trading blows
My therapist says "if it's speakable, it's bearable."
Been a rough few days/weeks in the Jerry household, but right now 60 degrees out, I have my office window open, and almost all of the snow is melted off the lawn.
EST and UTC are the only real time
The only time zone we acknowledge is EST
