2022 when the GOP took both houses to now? Yeah, sounds about right.

Wow, he doesn’t often backtrack like this. Maybe one of his buddies on SCOTUS tipped him off that he’d lose this one?

Stopped clock is right 2x/day: if prices were to drop quickly, it would signal a depression and we’d plead for it to stop. But probably not ask the man who caused it for help.

I took to watching TV while sitting on the stairs so I could run away if the commercial came on.

When I was 4, there was a board game called (I think) Skull Island, and its commercial featured a scary, realistic skull zooming in from a dark background. I was terrified of skeletons for years after that and they featured in my worst nightmares.

The fraternity brothers in the group chat who cheer violence? That behavior is being modeled by the president of this country. I cannot stress this enough — Trump is teaching young men how to be abusive every time he opens his mouth.

The miserable truth is, “low-info” voters will be swayed by this because they’re too cult-addled to realize that $5k is peanuts compared to what they’ll lose to inflation, high gas prices, high insurance premiums, and wage stagnation.

Anyone who votes for his party, this is the kind of person they are. This is the kind of thing they like to hear. This is what they’d like to do to you if you’re not “one of them.”

The Tempest? Borrows tons of poetry and philosophy from other sources but the plot as a whole is original. Derivative, yes, but not adapted from a source.

If they pass this, it's likely northern states will opt out of DST the way Arizona does.

KrysMc @krismcd.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I get that some people want year-round DST. Tellingly, it's the northern blue cities (Boston, NYC, Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle) that are most against the idea (9:30am sunrises in December)! & northern farmers don't need extra daylight in winter!

Still waiting for even ONE republican congressperson to object to Dear Leader’s offer of $5k checks (and now $90 Medicare rebates to seniors) if the GOP wins to object on the grounds that they’re ILLEGAL BRIBES.

The more bizarre the President's ramblings get, the more obvious it is that Miller/Vought are actually running the government and spending the taxpayer's money on Christo-Fascist projects like diverting funds earmarked for European defense to right-wing C/S American rulers.

He's really like a human Speak 'n' Say -- turn the dial to a topic and he has a little spiel he reels out, the same words whether on a podium or in private. Never varies, never means anything real.

@atrupar.com has posted bits of this interview that should absolutely terrify any thinking person in this country. Read the whole thing, and support Aaron's project: making sure we witness the president's mental deterioration in real time, unsanitized by credulous media coverage.

His audience doesn't apparently care, but there's no such thing as "a Hispanic." It's an adjective, not a noun! Just like it's foolish to say "a gay" or "a female" or "a military." I'll make an exception for "a deplorable" and he's the most one of all.

She has to spend hours a day toning her arms & legs to look OK in minidresses, while he gets to slump and drool and nap in the Oval office while cameras are on him. It's definitely a 🎶 man's man's man's man's world 🎶 and I can't imagine making that creepy bargain.

So this means 1) they could end inflation now but don't wanna, and/or 2) they're admitting they caused it by waging this stupid war. Which is it, Dear Leader? Why doesn't anyone ask him this?

This truly is horrifying. Not only is he unlawfully spending OUR money on a political ad, the whole point of the ad is that roughly half of the country consists of enemies who must be conquered.

I volunteered in a city animal shelter and fell for a sweet lab mix that I took home only to learn that she wanted to murder every cat (including mine). I felt SO GUILTY for having to return her, given how many snide remarks we vols made about other adopters who brought back their dogs.

And when we try to tell resistant men, "patriarchy hurts MEN too," meaning that it requires them to hold morally repugnant beliefs like "rape just happens," all they hear is, "you're calling me a rapist."
