Anyone else think his description of his mental state when he got on the ice for the free skate (the rush of "negative thoughts, all the past traumas...") shot straight past "nerves" or "the yips" and landed right on "textbook panic attack?"

I had the privilege of living just up the hill from Bourton for two years when I was a kid.

I had a @ 15 year old 40" Sceptre that I was in no hurry to replace (the awful sound aside). It took a lightning strike within 100 feet of the house during a thunderstorm to finally kill it. Replacing it for now with a 32" Hisense with built-in Roku and it's the most convenient thing ever.

I don't fault Headline Critic for but being able to keep up — I'm not sure what the damn sombrero thing on Jeffries is supposed to even mean? Or is it just the White House SocialBros' very own "6-7?"

FYI Channel 4 in the UK is not a BBC channel. It's one of the commercial OTA ones.

They don't know, much less care, how Smith would've violated the Hatch Act, but by they're pretty sure it *sounds* serious.

And ignore the fact that late-night was such a bad bet that CBS had initially *renewed* a third season of "After Midnight" — w/less than a quarter of Colbert's viewers — before Taylor Tomlinson chose to resign to concentrate on her stand-up career. (What would the lead-in be if Colbert was canned?)

First my job was called waste, fraud, and abuse and was eliminated. Now my ability to stay healthy/alive (only 3 years out from a cancer dx, I owe my life to Medicaid) without that job is called waste, fraud, and abuse. Can't wait for Repubs to explicitly call on people like me to self-eliminate.

If the renaming selection criterion is that the namesake shares a surname with the actual Confederates, then they pretty much still are, no?
000
schmanda.bsky.social @schmanda.bsky.social · 12/06/2025
Their new "Has the same surname as the Confederate former namesake"-selection criteria cheat code is obvious and gross. Letter of the law vs spirit of the law, I guess. Still infuriating. I worked at Ft. Gregg-Adams until March. GEN Gregg was beaming at the redesignation. He so deserved better.

I get you, but we shouldn't be surprised. After all, we're the same people who went and let the worst member of a "NewsRadio" cast ~that included Andy Dick~ become a Thought Leader™ and kingmaker. We're so post-Truth now that the coin of the realm is Vibes.

Please tell me I'm misreading the DOGEbag's comment. Was he suggesting that the vet basically eat that bullet?

I mean, I'd gladly pay $1055 to have my job back, but instead of contributing my taxes from a well-paying job, I'm drawing unemployment and subsidized ACA health coverage. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ I'd say the DOGE frenzy is penny-wise and pound-foolish, but it's not even penny-wise. Scams usually aren't.

My first time working as a contractor, I wanted to buy my Army boss ~a slice of rhubarb pie~ (I learned it was his favorite, and a high school friend of mine owns a pie shop that had it on the menu). I didn't realize it didn't matter how small, he wouldn't accept it. 🫤

Same. This is my first year without mine. Lost her to an accident 10 days before Christmas and I'm *still* having that half second of "Oh, I need to tell Mom about..."at every turn. It's nearly 5 months on and I'm still struggling. That email was jarring. I'm proud I didn't spiral ~this time~.

No no, you need to understand, we can't spare anything for vets, the billionaires need it more! Particularly El*n, who has to feed his roughly 547 random generated password-named kids who he never sees. Sorry, vets, but our hands are tied.

And it's not like folks working in the DoD — GS as well as contractors — have to do annual training on this very topic, whether you have a clearance or not. It's not like it's continually drilled into your head or anything.

That's not all:
In fact, in the minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in, according to Berulis' disclosure. Those attempts were blocked, but they were especially alarming. Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts — and the person had the correct username and password, according to Berulis.

Putting aside that the response was on Twitter, an actual comms professional would say "all media." Mediums are, erm, something different. My wager is that it's the handiwork of a DOGEbag.
