I just watched a simulation of a lunar breakup event. Terrible destruction everywhere, millions of fiery impacts, quarter mile-high waves, & the defiantly-numb PM gremlin in my brain was like: "You're gonna have to call everyone up real quick & remind them to hit submit on their timecards..."

When Trump and his GOP co-conspirators are convicted for insurrection, all acts and appointments, including SC justices, need to be rescinded, full stop.

Katie Britt, remembering everything she ever did as ol' Dick Shelby's staffer, wondering if any of it was worth it now. Also, a rare glimpse of real shock that the right-wing bro-sphere chat about Jack Smith conspiracies she feeds on alongside boxed wine and baby tears might not be totally legit.
Alabama Senator Britt staring blankly, slack-jawed, mouth agape, empty, soul-less, eyeliner making it look like she's wearing a skin-mask of a person.

Man behind her looks like Chris Hansen just welcomed him into the house.

Not for nothing, despite considering myself somewhat politically well-read, coming across what "TribFest" actually consists of was a bit of a disappointment today, frankly.

While its obvious to everyone the whole sniper/drone aspect of this Arc de Mentia BS is just so he can claim 'national security' as a legal loophole, listening to this jack wad describe it is exactly how my 5 year old nephew describes his villain's secret lair. Dumbest timeline, this one.

Refuse to debate? Dropped from the ballot. Refuse to hold open, in-person town halls where people can speak freely? You're barred from office. Take foreign $$? Lose security clearance permanently, $$ confiscated by IRS in full, barred from office. These aren't revolutionary ideas, folks.

It is early 2028. USA has defeated Iran 211 times; Cuba 78 times (so far). McConnel's frozen head re-elected to the Senate. Trump Arch rebuilt 4 times due to heavier-than-expected sniper nests. The Reflecting Pool renamed Reflecting Swamp. Algae forces US to accept humiliating peace terms.

Just your friendly reminder that in a modern society, LEGAL means of expressing discontent, removing officials, etc. is the COMPROMISE position that benefits the powerful for their own good, keeping us from engaging in the older, more satisfying methods of settling grievances with the ruling class.

Ah yes, named for the Muses: famously anti-creativity & human thought, and who definitely saw all art as something one could merely regurgitate from the scattered bits of other people's work. And this from a mythological tradition where nothing bad ever happened to creeps who spied on women.

Considering disability is the ONLY minority group everyone can (& prob will) join, anytime, whether you want to or not, even CISHET white folk, we really failed as a nation when he didn't get curb-stomped on live TV the day he mocked a disabled reporter. We are all diminished for that.

A meme with four panels, in the style of the movie "They Live" having subliminal messages behind posters, with the main character putting on the special sunglasses so he can see the aliens and their messages.

The top panel, when he's not wearing the glasses, reads "US Economy Strong", while the bottom panel, visible to him only with the glasses that let him see through lies and deception reads "AI Bubble, Kalshi, Gambling, Fossil Fuel Companies Shielding Trump", suggesting the entire US economy is built on rubbish and chickenwire/duct tape right now.

So when no charges are filed here, when my toaster ends up in an Anthropic shareholder's occupied bathtub next week, & I, standing there afterward with police, point at the toaster & say "That toaster murdered this citizen who's house I'm standing in! Its Skynet!" I'm totally in the clear, right?

If some people could just grasp the amazingly simple concept of Mind Ya Business™, we'd have a much better world. GFY to anyone who thinks its their business who someone else sleeps with, is attracted to, believes, or feels. Why is this so difficult for so many people?

Post your best "you're a professional when..." takes! You're a professional when you click the tongs 3 times each use, rather than the working class standard of 2. You're a professional when you have a 4-year degree, but only if its from a school with a non-mammalian mascot.

If Democratic candidates for office aren't visibly, consistently angry & promising harsh & costly responses to the last nearly 2 years of corruption & violence, they're not meeting the fucking moment. Nobody is going to get excited anymore for the business as usual / reconciliation approach.

Democrats in Congress should publicly post the cost of tearing down the ballroom and the arch. They need to bring up this price tag every time they speak, and treat it as fait accompli that they WILL HAVE TO BE TORN DOWN. No caveats, no middle-of-the-road pondering, but THIS WILL HAPPEN.
