Not only a vile and treasonous statement, but blatant grounds for a multi-state secession whose end-date is predicated on orange-therapy's removal from office and imprisonment. Stop saying he's 'just joking'. F* this trash already.

So wait, how many times does one have to declare victory over a regional power before NOT needing to withdraw vital long-range aviation assets from a friendly country 3400 miles from the conflict zone? One more? Three more maybe? We're probably close to the magic number now. Asking for a friend.

I have a magic 8-ball I keep on my desk which gets slowly, belligerently picked up and shaken (with evident disappointment) whenever someone in earshot has the audacity to admit they 'asked ChatGPT' for an answer.

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..."

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.

In all candor, working in policy and defense in DC has taught me that GOP staffers literally LIVE in conspiracy-theory right-wing chat groups. If you've ever met them, you'd find them physically, intellectually, and morally indistinguishable from that pervy little "Big Balls" Coristine kid.

Pre-university, being *good* at history means learning a few key dates, some kings' names, & maybe a fun fact about tanks or ships. That's not history, and there's the rub - historians haven't done well at explaining what they actually do. They let the rubes assume we just list 'facts & battles'.

History, in particular, does a great job of teaching you to question biases as well (your own and that of otherwise very smart people), which, understandably, just doesn't get as much bandwidth in STEM.

Vote in such numbers that the shame doesn't wear off for a decade. With margins big enough to fix the system, not just undo the damage. Build a mandate that is bold, uninterested in compromise, dismissive of their "concerns", & gleeful to their faces. Bury them. Don't let up. De-MAGA-ify it all.

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.

There is no ethical use of consumer AI, full stop. Every use is either for fraudulent purpose, or built upon fraud already perpetrated against someone. Everything it touches becomes shady AF. I'm bewildered when I see ostensibly decent, informed people use AI to make cute memes.
