I thought Trump said he WANTS people emigrating here from Norway? Just another lie, I guess.

I'll bet a lot of people who use the expression, "Let's turn it up to eleven," don't even know that it began with Spinal Tap.

THIS.

Capitalism has told us that the American Dream is becoming a megamillionaire or even billionaire. The American Dream should be collectively building a society where nobody starves or goes homeless, and everybody is treated equally, fully insure and paid a living wage. --Adam Best (@adamcbest)

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

She is the last person anyone should trust to determine what "matters" in absolutely any situation.

Yup. The SCOTUS majorly screwed up. Gore won Florida, the final recount showed. He should have been POTUS. Dubya's brother's state and PAM FREAKING BONDI inflicted that grinning idiot, 911, and the war in Iraq on us.

Massie's not, evidently. Many of the rest are just so deplorable, they don't need to be threatened to hop on board a fascist regime's bandwagon.

RIP Rev. Jackson, the first candidate I voted for in a presidential primary as soon as there was a presidential election after I turned 18.

Make any comment about the evil of AI on the internet and you inevitabl get these people saying, "Ah, but you can't halt progress." You know what else people thought was progress not long after it was invented? Asbestos.

Also--Marie Curie's notebooks are still so dangerously radioactive over a century later that they are stored in lead-lined boxes at France's Bibliothèque Nationale. (They will remain dangerous for about 1500 yrs.) And, you know, this stuff KILLED her. But progress!

I mean, I know Donnie likes his fake "assassination attempts" that never result in anyone being arrested or any news stories about the supposed assassin, but when in the hell did Iran try to kill him? I feel like the right-wing propaganda outlets would have talked about that A LITTLE if it had.

Also, at the time, most folks referred an era when certain consuls ran Rome but some did it by calculating the years since the founding of Rome (though that wasn't very popular or exact).

In short, the Romans didn't do dates even close to the way we do. blogs.ashmolean.org/latininscrip...

I've spent a couple of days (finished tomorrow) listening to the edited MS read aloud by Word. (It's an option under "immersive reader", which is under "View".) I've caught a handful of things that need to be fixed/deleted this way. The mispronunciations are hilarious, but it's still helpful.

You know how all of the other Presidents actually liked animals and had pets in the White House? Any one of those pets would make a better POTUS than Mango Mussolini.

All the worst people are in this regime. Anyone left who's actually competent will probably soon be fired or quit.

The end-times theology driving US intervention in Iran – Baptist News Global Today, there is a part of American foreign policy that is influenced by apocalyptic evangelical theology, says Josh Olds.

Foreign policy based on bad Bible fanfiction WAS, unfortunately, on my 2026 Bingo card, thanks to this insane regime pandering to White Christian Nationalists. I just didn't know it would start so suddenly.

WORLD WAR 3 KINDA SUCKS, BU YOU KNOW, IT WAS EITHER THIS OR PRONOUNS. --Roger Wosley

People jonesing for the end of the world should never have any kind of power, let alone this type of power. That they myopically fail to recognize that the description of the Antichrist precisely matches the king they worship is just the rotten cherry on top of this shit sundae.

No one who is Jonesing for the end of the world should be in charge of ANYTHING.

The "Rapture" is 19th century Bible-fanfiction. It's not only non-Biblical, it's anti-Biblical. I personally hated the end of the Narnia Chronicles because of the Yay Rapture nonsense. ("We're dead! Whoopie!") The same folks claim to follow a book saying no one can know the time of Jesus's return.

THIS. They are also oblivious about the fact that the description of the Antichrist in their religious book fits the king they worship PERFECTLY. The one thing I could make them believe in, if I could, is IRONY.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

Just got excited at a crossword clue that was "cheese lovers" and was like oooooo there's a name for people like me and the answer was mice

I would have wanted the answer to be "Wallace and Gromit."

SCOOP: At more than 30 military installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation tells me it's been "inundated" with complaints from more than 110 service members. One NCO said their commander told them today that the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus... --Jonathan Larsen

I KNEW IT.

This whole thing stinks of the Dominionists trying to bring about the End Times. Fuck them all. If you are salivating at the idea of the end of the world, you shouldn't be in charge of ANYTHING, let alone the world's largest military.

This whole thing is a classic wag the dog scenario. Everyone in this regime is so unremittingly stupid and corrupt.

THREE? To friendly fire? Seriously?

This is what it looks like when all of the competent people in the military are sidelined because they're women, LGBTQ+, and/or people of color. All you have left are bombastic white dudes like Petey who failed upward and will put everyone around them at risk.
