This has been my take. You have to translate it from the elliptical way he talks to English. “Let them take out LA, etc” is presented as the alternative to high gas prices caused by attacking them, which are a “small price to pay” in comparison to losing cities.

“Relational behavior” is the polite way to say “cousin-fucking.”

“Never watched a game, never will.”

They should rebrand it to the Donald J. Trump World’s Finest Algae Pool and Research Laboratory. That would kill off every scrap of the stuff.

He’s got nothin. Just more dumb lies to stroke his own ego.

Why does that sound like a threat?

050

Oh, and bunting along the railing.

000

So unfair that he has to spend his hard-earned graft money on its purported purpose rather than luxuries.

I would want some sort of automation option if I ever got talked into playing fantasy football again. It’s not in any way a sports game; it’s a business game. World of HR Craft.

It’s annoying that so many people base their vote this way, but I am starting to enjoy watching gas prices go up because of the effect it’s gonna have on the congressional election.

Those are signal flags hung for dressing the ship. The Tango flag looks Russian because it’s hanging vertically. Normally it looks like the French national flag.

Tbf, he neither remembers that nor knows what he meant. Most “in the moment” guy in history. He’s like an LLM, predicting what the next word is one by one to best soothe his own ego.

I’m with you on that second one but I recently moved to a majority-black neighborhood where my polling place is an AME mega-church. And ngl I am stoked to vote there, especially in a blue wave election. Not voting early just to experience it.

This is such piteous cope. He’ll find some other rightwing grifter to screw up CNN.

Sounds like the median Bolsonero voter.

Best part is it literally jumped the shark LONG after it had jumped the shark.

The Walking Dead. It wasn’t that it got THAT bad, but it was annoyingly mediocre for such a long time. Hate-watched the last five seasons, hoping it would get good again.

People are misinterpreting this because of Trump’s fractured speaking style, which continues to worsen with dementia. “This is a very small price to pay” refers to gas prices. “Let them…” means, “wait til they nuke a US city, then gas prices won’t seem so important.”

I think it’s more in the sense that “Young Turks” is 20th century slang for political upstarts, plus Cenk is Turkish.

Frontotemporal dementia ftw!

A bunch of goobers running is guaranteed.

Ditto, but I have a cup-at-a-time drip machine that I can operate in my sleep. Takes about the same time as instant but is actual coffee. But breakfast is something I’ve never gotten delivered and now I think I will.

060

Wow, that just opened a window I had never considered. Food delivery in the morning? Effortless brunch without having to put on pants? Much to ponder.

Thinking about wainwrighting myself. Buggy wheels don’t grow on trees.

Quislings never seem to understand that they are just a step or two down the victim list. And both their natural allies and the monsters they suck up to despise them.

ATV wrecks happen out in the sticks; e-bikes annoy journalists on urban streets.

He’s outside every day in San Diego. Sun and lack of humidity makes your skin look prematurely old.

000

Why do we hate the Dodgers, I mean other than them being the LA Dodgers? Did the Kushner sale already go through? If so, then yeah, burn them to the ground and salt the earth.

000

Ain’t no fun if the other team isn’t good, too.

The Wizard of Oz. They ran it every year on CBS when I was little (weirdly, in the spring) and the fucking flying monkeys STILL scare me.

Not sure how I’m gonna manage it, but I need to whip that guy’s ass.

What’s your fact checker on that? If it’s AI, go punch yourself in the crotch until you learn not to use that shit.

000

She gets the sniper rifle and the old man just gets a turkey shotgun?

000

Gross. That fuckin guy.

000

Huh. I am very much missing not getting a pile of Christmas presents since my wife died. (We never had kids and would give each other like a dozen). If I didn’t think AI was evil, I would get it to buy me 8-10 things within a budget and have them sent to me gift-wrapped. No, YOU’RE pathetic!

000

It was kinda funny all the people acting like he’d shot or stabbed him. It wasn’t even a punch. It just reminded me of a Chris Rock routine where he says he doesn’t condone some particular antisocial behaviors, but he understands.

He has an IG list that sends those out to every woman he’s ever met. One of these days, it’ll pay off.

Uhhh, no? There is no downside to the UK being in the EU (and the Schengen) and a huge upside for everyone except racists.

000

And it’s not like he ever got woke-canceled. Will smacking the shit out of him wasn’t woke-related. No comedian got canceled for their material, and the ones who did for being sex criminals got a full comeback.

It’s very good. A bit dark for my tastes, but well done.

000

Nobody gives a shit where your degree came from unless you’re competing to work in NY or DC. It’s just a fact that working in an office in America requires a degree, and working in an office with your brain is most often a better long-term prospect that pays better than working with your muscles.

That’s at the flagship campus, which is competitive entry. Wisconsin-LaCrosse, for example, is $20k per year including housing/food. If a kid makes $5k a year in part-time work and their parents can kick in $5k, that’s a $40k debt after four years. Still sucks, but trade school isn’t cheap, either.
