I’ve never related to the first four lines of that Four Non Blondes song so hard in my life. What’s going on indeed

Like we’re in a war for no apparent reason and the president is doing an executive order about college sports? This is a fever dream.

Ridley Scott should not have made Black Hawk Down, hindsight.

New Costco fan

 

“This photo is a great testament to the Costco hot dog/soda deal,” says Lisa Wissman, of Fishers, Indiana, a longtime Costco member and proud new grandmother. “The hot dog is about the same length as my new grandson Archer!”

just found out America's third largest magazine is Costco Connection and its circulation is nearly 16 million 🤯

also it features stuff like size comparisons of babies and hotdogs

Motherfuckers going to spy school and our actual president is just setting everything on fire in broad daylight and bragging about it.

People keep asking how things would be different if Trump was a sleeper agent planted by an enemy nation to destroy America and one answer is that the sleeper agent would probably be a bit more subtle about it, no one would believe this shit would work.

Anyway, I know I keep saying I'm losing my mind over this, and its because I am! This is all fucking insane!

(obviously there are differences, namely that none of this shit is popular)

I am losing my mind that we are basically doing post-9/11 America again but without even like a national trauma to set it off.

Are we doing war crimes against Cuba next? Is every neocon getting their request in before he dies?

it's insane that my country's current position is that, if we don't like the leader of a sovereign nation, not only do we get to kill them we get to pick their successor

The anthropic ceo thing that polymarket is baiting people with also included him saying he doesn't even know what consciousness would look like, please don't let polymarket command your attention if you don't even gamble

And hey, guess what? Because its going to take them longer to issue the refunds, interest will continue to accrue. Once again, Republican "cost cutting" at work costing taxpayers more.

Personally 100% believe that this is an issue of legacy IT systems like they claim; I dunno about this one in particular, but the IRA included lots of $$ for updating tech systems at various agencies, which of course Trump illegally killed.

The tariff thing isn’t cbp saying they can’t issue refunds, it’s saying it’s going to take them more time than the judges order has provided.

Can believe that or not (and no denying this is a problem of the admins own making) but thus far they aren’t saying “no refunds.”

As far as I can tell, this is the single largest weekly increase in oil prices going back to at least 1983. That’s the extent of weekly data I have.

I’m sure the the 70s has some spicy data, but right now we’re at 32.8% this week alone.

Thinking about the chotiner interview of landsman and yeah one of the things that definitely makes him a better interviewer is that the “I trust our troops” line doesn’t short circuit his brain

I dunno, man, seems like our melding of GWOT "kill all the leaders, every last one, as soon as they poke their heads up" tactics with demanding the absolute capitulation from a nation-state, which would have to be offered by a leader who can speak on behalf of said state, are incompatible.

I’m so tired of waking up every morning to see whatever fire these maniacs are starting or stoking. I’m sorry for us - the ones who tried to stop this, anyway - and for the rest of the world.

Pretty much every aspect of the world and America in my lifetime has been worse when Republicans are in power, you’d think maybe we’d learn a fucking lesson from that
