I press buttons to make lights on a box change. Sometimes the lights are all wrong so I have to press a lot of buttons much faster.

I think we need a theory of mind that supposes something different. Scalise is also doing this and he's very much been touched in the past.

Maybe he hit the "....and therefore I'm invincible!" track but it's worth thinking through the alternatives.

I am compelled to be honest here. As a frequent enjoyer of espresso martinis With Opinions About Them, I will probably make a trek to a BDubs to try this abomination. I need a floor lower than "uses well vanilla vodka and coffee-flavored syrup" to understand the range of possibilities.

It’s this whole thing about a master planned Islamic community announced in 2024 by the East Plano Islamic Center. It’s called EPIC City, and Abbot and Paxton have been going crazy about it since it was announced.

It's also a fake tweet.

β€œA special election will be called to coincide with the next available regularly scheduled primary, runoff primary and general election”

Senate primaries in OK are 14 Jun so interim appointment until then.

What Texas voters have learned tonight. You MUST vote early or early in the day on Election Day. Republicans will fuck with democrat strongholds. They showed you tonight

There's a difference between "guy in platoon who says weird shit" and "commander who says weird shit"

40 different commanders across 30 different installations is at least mildly concerning in a way that "yeah 40 different pvt schmuckatellis say they are werewolves and roam the halls at night" isnt

hol up is that a fridge magnet? I've seen that as the usual morale patch but not as a magnet.

maybe if they diversified into distilleries they'd still be open REGIME

or at least make something like Sink the Bismarck

(also lol at Brewdog getting acquired for $40m today after being valued over $1bn)

I also heard some confusion about the legality of what we're doing to Iran; credit to that bail bondsmen explaining (without naming it) the War Powers Resolution.

This is Collin County, home of the Trump "petit bourgeois" (but also Trump bourgeoisie). I don't think an R+12 district is generally considered purple? (ignoring recent special elections)

I'm saying I heard a lot of conversations about wholesalers and real estate deals.

It’ll also get you to understand very quickly that the median voter’s beliefs are incomprehensibly mutually exclusive because everything is thought about in isolation.

Shit, USA #3

03.03.2026 03:29 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

So maybe USAR #2 and USA #2 because hooooo boy those reservists not on the coasts.

That’s fair, I’m probably biased in that basically every former marine I’ve interacted with barring a few have been full on evangelical Jesus Is In My Fireteam While We Fight Post Rapture

It very much seemed like a β€œyou’re getting scammed, he’s a New Yorker, why do you actually like him” type thing. This is in Plano, on the Friso line, so I was surprised to hear that angle. Every other β€œconservative” I’ve heard here seems to be In The Know as far as Trump goes.

I couldn’t parse the convo of the older guys on the other side of me but the tenor seemed to be β€œTrump is actually a liberal (derogatory)”

If you didn’t want to be blamed for waffle discourse, why are you talking about pancakes?

Woke NKVD sitting in southern bars asking β€œoh so I heard Hillary Clinton is in the news again, what’s that about?”

03.03.2026 02:49 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

What do the herenvolk think? Well, at this Texas suburban steakhouse, they think that Hillary Clinton is actually already dead and that’s a body double.

Hand on heart just overheard this. On the plus side the bail bondsman sitting next to them pushed back.

Does that actually require a thorough infiltration when the principal says β€œno don’t take precautions”

03.03.2026 02:33 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

You forgot the more common variant of β€œCan we talk”

β€œWe need to talk”

Also β€œCan we meet real quick” if not immediately followed by β€œit’s nothing serious”
