Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California. ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

Gen X: huh, this warmongering in the Middle East over putative nuclear weapons, we've seen it before Others: so, what do we do about it? Gen X: ironic mockery and detachment, what else is there?

it’s pretty crazy when you think about how materially improved society would be if we made it illegal to post videos of bizarre little guys talking behind desks

I know you are feeling stressed like important and consequential things are happening But My cat would like you to know the ONLY thing of consequence is that he be LET OUT IMMEDIATELY and I'm like hey buddy world war three and he's like no it's world war pee if you don't let me out right now.

Where my "Hillary/Kamala will get us into a war" people at?

Have a national “Dress Like ICE” day where everyone wears a skull gaiter, an ill-fitting tactical vest with an Etsy POLICE sticker on it, Shein camouflage cargo pants, and the douchiest Oakleys available. If anyone gets upset and starts claiming to be “real ICE” everyone laugh and say “sure buddy.”

I would simply rewrite all human knowledge, filling in the missing bits and then publish it on my LiveJournal.

I'd read it as Miller engaging in an ongoing insurrection against the lawfully constituted government of the United States.

I believe it is called “presidential pardon”

Something I’d note is that while there is criminal immunity for “official acts” for the president, no such immunity exists for the deputy chief of staff.

I guess you’ll have to get Abby Phillip working on her book…

Literally begging you to post about Just Some Stuff. We will see the news I absolutely promise. Twenty people will repost the same exact thing about the news. Only you can post about a turtle you saw

My wife is really getting into Fallout 76. We play together in the evenings. :) I have become a man of the corn. I log in and tend to my corn. I harvest the corn, plant additional corn, and defend the corn. I create corn soup and sell the corn too. I have become one with corn.

What I find so dumb about this whole thing is that we don't even, as Christians, have to think about which elements of the law were the most definitive. They straight up asked Jesus this question and he didn't respond with the ten commandments!

Yesterday I listened to the NYer podcast where we heard that the SS thing that 30 or 40m dead / non-existent people were on SS was sent to Elon and explicitly told it’s not true; and he directly tweeted it out anyway. The mendaciousnenss is insane.

IANAL, but what stops every private enterprise (businesses, churches, etc) from posting “agents of the federal government are barred from these premises for any purpose related to enforcement of immigration laws without a judicial warrant”?

Absolutely hilarious (and frightening)

It is very disconcerting, even terrifying, to have masked agents of the federal government on a rampage. The fact they still feel the need to hide their identities at least shows they have some degree of: - shame, and/or -fear of consequences for their actions

My “give me 72 hours before checking my internet history” request is raising questions already answered by the request.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

The thing the empire ought to have learned from Star wars is that when you wear masks, it's very easy for rebels to wear those masks eventually

And lo, a tiny angel appearethed by the food bowl and sayethed unto them, “what exactly is the hold up here?” Photo from my collection, no record of date/info.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? With almost no exceptions, every single cybersecurity breach occurs via mechanisms the technology industry knows how to fully and robust defend against, but didn't

I’m starting to think “blow it all up” was less of a well thought through plan than we thought.

As Heraclitus said, "It is better to keep your thoughts drafted and be thought a fool, then to post them and remove all doubt".

I just want to emphasize this so much. He thinks he's doing the deals. The press keeps saying this wrong. He's not GOOD at deal-making. They have to be so "objective" that even though they KNOW it is incorrect, they still say out loud & thus think to some extent, "He's known for deals". He's not.

Did they really play an instrumental version of “Fortunate Son” at the parade? Did they get trolled, or were they just obtuse? Hard to tell.

Sunday: "The U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran." truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT... Today: "We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran ... Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA." truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT... He's not a hawk. He's not a dove. He's just a moron.

Seems at least a possibility worth considering that Trump is just bored and annoyed at having to be at the G7 and wants to go home.
