He’s not a man he’s three vials of testosterone in a trench coat.

I don’t think so, I just needed a punchline.

Maybe I should’ve gone with “Three vials of testosterone in a trench coat.”

He’s not a man he’s a vial of synthetic testosterone in a toupee.

SO WEIRD HOW THIS KEEPS HAPPENING!

everyone is extraordinarily desperate to pretend that Donald Trump is a coherent individual with a real plan who understands what is happening in the world and none of that is true

Not in the context that OP means it, but me too, man. Me too.

First thing I said when Trump won in 2016 was “Before he’s done he’s going to make Nixon look like a choir boy.”

Your regular reminder that normal, mainstream, pro-democracy political parties do not make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform

'Ridiculous': Kristi Noem's 28-year-old aide wasted millions on unusable ICE vehicles A former deputy to outgoing Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem saddled the department with millions of dollars in wasted funding for vehicles that cannot be used.U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcem...

A Noem aide spent $3 million on pickup trucks emblazoned with the ICE name & logo, which ICE agents -- notoriously averse to advertising their presence -- will not drive, so they're just sitting in a lot, useless. The contract went to a Trump donor who owns a regional Chevy dealership.

It was always about the grift. This entire administration is about looting as many taxpayer dollars to Trump allies as possible.

Q: You said the war is 'very complete.' But your defense secretary says 'this is just the beginning.' So which is it?


TRUMP: You could say both

@rebeccafachner.bsky.social is 100% right - this isn't just some weird quirk; it's a symptom of a very unwell person using his position to exert a form of dominance over those around him.

This fits a classic pattern of abusive behavior where the abuser exerts "power and control" over his victims to demonstrate who's in charge. There's also a humiliation angle if Trump is intentionally getting folks the wrong shoe size.

"Everybody’s afraid not to wear them” Is the whole point.

Could you please keep our fucking names out of your mouth? Seriously, this "oh, the Jews have it so good here, they're treated so well, everyone wants to protect them" shit is its own form of antisemitism

I'd go even further and say it's abuser shit. This is classic power and control stuff, with an added humiliation angle if he's intentionally giving people the wrong size.

Trump Open to Khamenei Being Killed if Iran’s Leader Doesn’t Cede to U.S. Demands Hits on critical infrastructure were exchanged, with Israeli strikes on Iranian fuel-storage complexes lighting up the Tehran skyline.

What a wild headline.

"Trump open to Khamenei being killed if he doesn't cede to U.S. demands"

Who's ordering the killing? And we just do assassinations bow?

This reads like a Mafia hit. Gross, embarrassing, and, ofc, dangerous.

I really don't like having to pay attention to corporate machinations. I just have a very strong (possibly autistic?) desire for stuff I like to not change.

Yeah, it's really not a good idea to give everyone a nearly-perfectly reliable dopamine button.

You think our (social) experience with drugs would have driven that point home already.

Welp, Twitter's still the Nazi bar and Threads is corporate trash. Please don't say I'm going to have to figure out Mastadon. I really don't want to have to do that.

This is not true—driver’s licenses aren’t acceptable under the SAVE Act without additional proof of citizenship. The fact that they keep doing this sleight of hand should make clear that the SAVE Act is not something that “every American gets”

It's trite, but it's true! 2024 was essentially a national intelligence test, and we failed.

All we had to do was vote for the smart Black lady.

The consequences of this war for Americans will be bleak and take decades to unfold, but it will impoverish and provincialize them in ways that would have been unimaginable ten years ago

Both external and internal constraints

Congrats again on our National Conversation™️ about SOCIALISM when Kamala Harris mused about price controls for 35 seconds in 2024

I mean, that's true of just about every profession - you always have to exaggerate to create compelling drama.

(Though my lawyer wife has a great story about how a case she worked on became a story arc on Judging Amy.)

They also all have offices the size of a college gymnasium that are furnished with the budget of a small nation.

Hollywood has no idea how to write a professor who isn't an asshole and/or is misusing their position in some way. It's impossible for them.

I've become a fan of "Have the day you deserve."
