"Here at [shipping company], the safety of our employees is our number 1 priority. Unless some dummy on a Fox News couch double-dog dares us. Then employee safety goes right out the window."
usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”
This is an astounding and irresponsible and obvious lie by the Commander in Chief. This feels like another unthinkable red line crossed.
I've been having that feeling about the whole Trump 2 term. Change government type to something authoritarian, turn the research and culture way down, break all your trade and international alliances, and waste a bunch of time and resources being belligerent.
I'm already a little leery of the sheer amount of energy stored on, say, an LNG tanker. This would really stack up the incentives for Iran to turn some cheap drones into dramatic physical and economic damages. You'd feel both a long from a long way off.
Any of the Texas Republicans coming after the Catholic canon tribunals? (TBH I wouldn't put that past a couple of them)

#EconSky The oil price takes (yes, higher prices will happen) are missing the significant financial market risk. US businesses/investors have become more dependent on Middle East sovereign wealth funds for capital since 2021. This illegal war is yet another inflationary, anti-growth WH policy.
It is sadly appropriate that Operation Epstein Fury has started off by targeting schoolgirls to be its victims.

But the Dow! In the last year it's had amazing results, in fact they're just about as good as if you'd stashed a bunch of Euros in a coffee can and let them sit on the shelf!
They definitely swing both ways.
I was gonna say, I'm not watching, but from what I'm reading it's long past time to flip off the TV and switch off the TV.
Toronto harold satire site headline: "Canadian Olympic hockey teams to bring back silver medals to home country that has healthcare and stable democracy"
okay, this is funny, though
The last time I saw nominal adults being such incoherent whiny bitches about the Supreme Court was at every Federalist Society meeting ever
Moving older relatives into independent living facilities has been kind of eye-opening, in that the nicer ones have a lot to offer in terms of social and logistical amenities just outside your door and down the hall. We've been like "why do we have to get old before we can get this?"
They sometimes call them "digester eggs'

I heard Howard Hughes stored his in jars instead.
👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

After he started playing "shake the magic 8 ball in the morning to find out what the tariffs will be", I shifted the bulk of my retirement into non-US investments. I wanted to be able to sleep at night. I'm sure lots of folks around the world are making the same calculation.
I bet they had themselves a hearty chuckle after they wrote the phrase "public office carries a duty of candor and respect for the rule of law."
If it flies through the air, is it technically a "pied a terre"?
Complaining that following the Constitution will stop you from doing the thing you want to do is... an admission that what you want to do is unconstitutional.
You swore an oath to defend the Constitution. You are violating that oath, Rep. Alford. Time to go home and let someone else do the job.
It sounds like "comparison is the thief of joy", but expanded in scope to reflect that it steals joy from both people; from the more experienced one who doesn't get joy from their accomplishment because they look down on it, as well as the less experienced one who sees their goal devalued?
Oh, no, the guards let him keep his tie. After what happened to his best friend in prison and everything.
People always forget about St Pierre and Miquelon. Totally could add them instead.

I'm thinking they'll give him a ride somewhere nice on Kristi Noem's snazzy new jet, and say "see, we said we'd use it for at least one deportation, and we did!"
