I have to watch the State of the Union because I sinned in a past life and am
being punished by a vengeful God.

Nothing says โ€œworld-class healthcareโ€ like paying a fortune for coverage and still being unable to schedule necessary surgery because an insurance verification server crashed.

Thanks, Carefirst BCBS.

Enjoy the higher bill when they have to rebreak my hand to set it.

If you listen to your phone without headphones in an airport or on a plane, you should immediately be added to the do not fly list.

Itโ€™s both. They think the access increases their profitability because they can offer exclusives and sit downs, which the administration will not give to outlets that actively fact check them.

26.01.2026 00:03 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Because at some point in the last 10 years, the press decided โ€œaccessโ€ was more important than โ€œaccuracyโ€

Guys if you see observers thank them. Thereโ€™s real stress and burnout in the ranks right now. People understand they are waking up every day to chase and monitor federal thugs who can execute them. But they keep doing it nonstop to protect their neighbors

There is no reigning in the Brownshirts.

Abolish ICE. Prosecute agents and agency heads.

Minneapolis Live Updates: Man Killed by Federal Agents Was Holding a Phone, Not a Gun
Videos analyzed by The New York Times appear to contradict federal accounts of the shooting. The man, an I.C.U. nurse, was an American citizen with no criminal record, the city police chief said.

You all know Iโ€™m their biggest critic. Credit to @nytimes.com for reporting the truth and not the criminal regimeโ€™s lies this time. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/us...

Snap elections, confidence votes, proportional representation, so many boring electoral mechanisms that I wish we had in this country

Update from Hamed Aleaziz

"John Mitnick, who once was the head attorney at the Department of Homeland Security in the first Trump administration, criticized his former agency on Saturday night. 'I am enraged and embarrassed by DHSโ€™s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty,' he wrote" www.nytimes.com/live/2026/us...

ICE didnโ€™t exist until 2003, and even if it had existed, it wouldnโ€™t have prevented 9/11.

We will be better off when we abolish ICE and start prosecuting agents and agency heads.

Thinking:

1x Golden Marble Angel
8x Colombian Blue Tetra
6x Congo Tetra
6x Corydoras Sterbai

All of this is making me want to get back into reef tanking ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Unions are for workers. ICE agents enforce the state. Those two things are not the same.

Calling ICE agents union members is like calling cops labor. It empties the word โ€˜unionโ€™ of all meaning.

I donโ€™t give a fuck what kind of cards they carry. They are not part of the labor movement.

Anyway what tattoo should I get while Iโ€™m in Mexico?

My wife is shaming me for wanting to get another tattoo in Mexico this year. Apparently it โ€œruined the tripโ€ because I couldnโ€™t get in the water ๐Ÿ™„

Iโ€™ll have you know I had plenty of fun getting tattooed tyvm. Sorry you canโ€™t entertain yourself like I can

Maybe try not shitting on new things because theyโ€™re unfamiliar to you?

Obligatory tank update. Excuse the hazeโ€”substrate is still settling.

Will update again once itโ€™s cycled and we have our first fish!
