I note how Christian Nationalists, who think the public execution of Jesus was the most horrific thing humans ever did, are giddy at the prospect of getting to watch a public execution on live streaming—being so “pro-life” and all . . .

AI isn't reliable enough to get even a hamburger order right, but reckless Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is pushing to expand artificial intelligence across the U.S. military, including AI-enabled targeting. "Would you like fries with that obliterated girls' school?"

Skull 💀 and Crossbones 

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

When the banks needed help, they called it “stabilizing the economy.” When airlines needed help, they called it “protecting jobs.” When corporations got tax breaks, they called it “pro-growth.” When working people need health care? “SOCIALISM.”

Piss-Drunk Pete Kegstand is an unqualified moron who has no skills — and no business running the Defense Department. is it any wonder he squandered our entire missile supply? thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I mock the shit out of this dumbfuck. link is here: bit.ly/4wdGXEn
he has no fucking clue what he’s doing — and it shows.

look, Secretary of Defense is not an entry-level position. it’s a role that’s traditionally been held by lifelong military professionals — for a good reason: the Department of Defense is a ginormous bureaucracy, with millions of employees and a trillion-dollar budget.

Piss-Drunk Pete Kegstand has zero qualifications to be running any of that shit. the only thing he’s ever run in his life is his fool mouth.

he’s a weekend chat-show host. he’s the guy Fox News called when they needed a buffoon to pull goofy stunts, like getting drunk on New Year’s Eve, or flipping a skateboard up into his own nuts.

this silly dipshit was barely one step up from a birthday party clown, and now he’s running the entire military? that’s fucking insane.

so no one should be surprised that ‘hey, let’s not run out of missiles’ wasn’t on his to-do list. counting isn’t in Pete’s skill set.

and Donny has no one to blame but himself. he’s the one who made all these dumbfuck hiring decisions. he’s the one who saw Pete flattering him on Fox News and said ‘yeah, here’s my guy, straight outta Central Casting.’

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

I have been trying for months to attract painted buntings. Some folks in nearby neighborhoods see them fairly frequently and I want in on it! I invested in some hulled white millet, which is not cheap. I think I hear buntings nearby sometimes but so far haven’t seen any. But I have seen roadrunners!

The US is now spending more on construction for data centers than public transportation infrastructure. Data centers contribute to higher electricity costs and air pollution —all while enriching a handful of Big Tech CEOs. Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop them?

“I’ve been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment” is a great joke. I’d love to see Talarico swap out the punchline each time he tells it. “…since before Ken Paxton cheated on his wife” “…since before Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party” There are hundreds of options.
