He originally entered the country on a student visa, then never enrolled for a single class. Anyone doing that today would be deported before the midterm exams and banned from returning for years.

He “couldn’t even get a confirmation hearing” because Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans held it up for 9 months until Trump was elected. The first time that ever happened. Don’t push that dickish shit on anyone else.

These super-long exposures are misrepresenting the night sky to an almost offensive extent. It never looks like that anywhere.

That, and Clash of the Titans (1981), Red Sonja, and Conan The Barbarian, are all Gen-X after-school classics.

The Ron Mael look (from Sparks) on the keyboard probably went unrecognized by nearly everyone in the U.S. at the time. Quite brilliant in retrospect.

It's not the U.S. Congress. It's members of the Republican Party who are running the U.S. Congress. This is entirely on Republicans, and will not be forgotten.

When someone says "globalist" you know that person is trash.

I'm looking around now for the Republican presidential candidate who will say "it's time to move past Trump" in 2028. They're all still onboard with him now.

I live in deeply Red Utah, where Republicans banned red-light ticket cameras about 20 years ago. There are now 566 known Flock cameras in the state, plus who-knows-ho-many local PD cameras. That all happened without any public debate. Republicans are fine with Big Brother.

The Republican Party made him their presidential candidate 3 times. That institution needs to be burned to the ground

If you attempt to post a harsh opinion on Meta, it is rejected and you are asked if you want to edit or cancel it. You could always hit “edit” then post it again unchanged. Now, that comment gets deleted that second time without posting. Misinformation, lies, and bullying are still fair game.

They have no core principles. No strength of character. It’s a party of spineless feckless cowards

Everyone who voted for this guy should be forced to read everything he puts out on his platform and defend their decision each time.

The high temperature at the Salt Lake Airport hit 61 degrees today. That beats the record of 59 set in 1933. It's the 4th all-time high set this month and the 17th set this year. 18 record highs are from last year. 23 were set in 2022. 72 of the highest daily temps were recorded in 2000-2025. 2 lows

Fascism has a dictionary definition. Historians have identified a list of characteristics common to fascist movements. Fascist rhetoric is largely unchanged in the past 100 years — just switch out the name of the country or people who were once “great” and the out-group they demonize for the descent

Showing up to a movie, 10 minutes before the scheduled time, means sitting through 19 minutes of the same commercials I mute at home.

Whenever someone says “both sides are the same” or “there’s no difference between the two major parties” look at Al Gore and remember what George W Bush did.

What kind of sport allows a team to sit on a lead and run out the clock while denying their opponent an opportunity to score? What kind of example is that as anything fair or sporting? It feels like cheating by the rules. 🏈⚽️🏀 It can’t happen in baseball. ⚾️

That’s been the Republican healthcare plan for more than 15 years: tear down Obamacare, then think of something to build on its empty lot.

I learned this at Zion National Park when the shuttle driver stopped under a tree after sunset. It was full of wild turkeys gobbling in the branches.

Republicans have had 15 years to come up with a better plan than the ACA.

Remember back in Oct 2024, just over a year ago, when Trump talked about Arnold Palmer’s legendary penis size at a campaign event? Stay classy, Republicans! You voted for that.

So 2/3 of the beds will be for people who are involuntarily committed, and the remaining space is for people who were given the option of jail or this relocation camp, excuse me, "campus"?

The Bush Administration inherited a budget surplus of $128 billion from Pres. Clinton, then handed off a deficit of $1.2 trillion to Pres. Obama eight years later. Let's not pretend that Bush and Cheney did this country any great service.

Justin Johnson @authalic.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

I'm concerned about this, too. It's like future historians won't see the corruption and incompetence of the Bush presidency, because they need to look past the blinding bright sun of insanity and filth that is Trump. Let's not forget Iraq, Katrina, bailouts, deficits/debt, and the Great Recession

For a preview of what a "market-based" health insurance system would look like in America (the image often promoted by Republicans), look at the market for home insurance now. Nobody will insure a home in a hurricane zone, or you if you have any chronic health issues www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Changes in the insurance market have started to affect home prices in the most disaster-prone areas, new research finds, pushing some homeowners’ finances to the breaking point.

“Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” should be the end of musician biopics, in the same way that “Airplane!” was the of disaster flicks. Dewey even went through a couple of Johnny Cash eras in that movie.
