I like to distract myself from the terrifying political news by reading the ridiculous political news.

"Assemble the Board of Peace - I'm starting a war".

Hegseth strikes deal with Scouts: Girls allowed for now, DEI is banned In announcing the Pentagon’s agreement with Scouting America, the defense secretary assailed the group for welcoming transgender children but stopped short of saying they would be denied entry.

Tweet that reads Leo Xander @STALLEON Stop taking social media so serious. Nothing here is real. Look at this chicken V - it is bigger than the car

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

I'll never change.

The cauchy distribution keeps me up at night.

a spiral of tiny needle like leaves against a dark background, arranged in a spiral pattern with a naturalistic strew of mess around it

i am mortified. i've been writing art code in #rstats for several years now and it was only yesterday that i realised how useful the cauchy distribution is if you want the untidiness in an image to feel naturalistic

Journalists Arrested in Cameroon While Reporting on Trump’s Secretive Deportation Program

"An Associated Press reporter was beaten by the police and detained along with three other journalists on Tuesday in Cameroon while reporting on a secretive Trump administration program to deport migrants to the Central African country, according to two of the people detained." (gift link)

I thought i was gonna pass out for the first 6 innings of that game. Holy shit it was hot.

Was this also the game you stole a bobble head from a kid? Or was that a different game?

Fascism is here. 🇺🇸
CBS is dead. ☠️

More people will now see this interview Trump tried to bury than ever would have otherwise. 👀

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

He’s absolutely right that prisons and other detention places were bad under Dem presidents.

Today is the 52nd anniversary of the release of "Blazing Saddles," the plot of which involves business and political interests leveraging ordinary people's bigotry in an effort to obtain power and financial gain.

People like to say that that movie couldn't be made today. Shit, we're living it.

I found it by searching "rogue like deck builders". My wife HATES it.

But who cares, the important thing is that I conquered balatro and I'm onto a new time waste game called slay the spire. It's very good.

I would guess it's because hockey is such a random sport so it's harder to gain any advantage. Whereas in basketball, the better team has a much bigger advantage.

I think it's like 2006-2015? Id have to look up the exact years.
