A couple of months ago I was laid off by Block. I’ve mostly been doing dad stuff since then but I’m very gently looking to start having conversations and figure out what’s next for me. I’d love to chat with anyone that thinks I might be a good fit! gordonfontenot.com/hire-me

You have to raise your kids with enough oppositional defiance that old men with no regard for them can’t pressure them into war crimes.

Does anyone happen to have a recommendation for a small color laser printer (without the scan/copy/fax/jetski/etc nonsense that all the ones I see come with)? I have the Brother monochrome laser printer now and it’s perfect (and cheap and tiny) but it’d be really nice to be able to print color.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish. The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.

‘Radicalized’ Evergreen High School shooter appeared to hold antisemitic, violent views in online accounts
Social media accounts that appear to be connected to the 16-year-old shooter are littered with references to mass shootings and antisemitic views, The Denver Post found.

Anyone surprised that a right-winger would kill another right-winger should look into the history of fascism, and also remember the wise words of Aragorn, son of Arathorn: “It is difficult with evil folk to know when they are in league, and when they are cheating one another.”

Our Support for La Brigada De Oro www.losverdesatx.org/blog/our-sup...
Los Verdes honran y apoyan el acto de valentía y desafío que La Brigada De Oro mostraron al cancelar su participación en el partido de Nashville SC la semana pasada, debido al aumento de actividad de ICE en el área.
Las gradas deben ser un lugar seguro donde se comparte la pasión por el fútbol y la comunidad. Ningún miembro de la comunidad debe sentirse inseguro por su nacionalidad, etnicidad o estatus migratorio.

Nuestra familia y nuestra comunidad no están completas cuando no estamos todos. Los aficionados no deberían tener que elegir entre seguridad y deporte. Este tipo de acoso selectivo no se detiene ni se detendrá en Nashville. Nos unimos a nuestra familia de fútbol en todos los Estados Unidos para desafiar la xenofobia y el racismo.

Y’all significa Todos. Excepto ICE y cualquiera que ataque a nuestra comunidad.

Lucha contra la ignorancia, no contra los inmigrantes.

Elimina a ICE.
Los Verdes honors and stands with the act of bravery and defiance that La Brigada De Oro and their fútbol family showed by canceling their match day activities and attendance at last week’s Nashville SC match due to increased ICE activity in their area.
The stands should be a safe place where we stand in shared passion for fútbol y communidad. No member should feel unsafe in their community due to nationality, ethnicity, or immigration status.

Our family and our community are not complete when we are not all here. Supporters should not have to choose between safety and sport. This kind of targeted harassment does not and will not stop with Nashville. We stand alongside our fútbol family throughout the United States in defiance of xenophobia and racism.

Y’all means All. Except ICE and anyone attacking our community.

Fight Ignorance, Not Immigrants.

Abolish ICE.

Also note that the tariffs are not broken down by country, they're broken down by top level internet domain.
It's why islands that are populated entirely by penguins (the .hm domain) and why the Diego Garcia military base on BIOT (.io) are listed, also why Reunion (.re) and Gibraltar (.gi) are listed separately from France & the UK.
They 100% used an LLM to generate this list and didn't catch the mistake because they're all dumb as rocks.

A lot of delusion happening in that Schumer NYT interview, but this gets to the heart of it: he believes his Republican colleagues will come around and everything will be ok. Absolutely delusional. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/m...
The Republicans would like to have some freedom from Trump, but they won’t until we bring him down in popularity. That happened with Bush in 2005. It happened with Trump in 2017. When it happens, I am hopeful that our Republican colleagues will resume working with us. And I talk to them. One of the places is in the gym. When you’re on that bike in your shorts, panting away next to a Republican, a lot of the inhibitions come off.
