VATICAN CITY (AP) - Frustrated by three consecutive non-Italian popes, the College of Cardinals elected a new pope so Italian he’s basically a stereotype.

We've reached the "Please print out and share your code with Elon" stage of the coup, which besides being stupid, ineffectual, and obviously illegal is also HILARIOUS AS HELL.

They're just a bunch of whiny shitbirds, and we need to treat them that way.

The people laughing at DOGE are the same people who laughed at Juicero.

I just realized I'm as old as Steve Martin was when he made Father of the Bride. Neither of my kids are 10.

I don't think people really get how these employee purges are just going to break the culture of public organizations for a very long time.

Spent part of this afternoon working on a reflection for an ongoing collaborative series of articles I've been part of throughout the pandemic. This part seemed worth sharing.

Adding to this, it's one of the most effective moves in the fascist playbook. It's basically this: My problematic comment isn't problematic if it's not called out, but if it is, I was only joking and you're the real problem because you can't take a joke. That's literally Vance's reasoning here.

Don’t care. They’re supposed to be leaders, so lead. I’m not a Senator, but I’ll gladly say Trump is a career criminal carrying out an authoritarian autogolpe on the United States that must be resisted at every opportunity. I’ll also say that to do otherwise is shameful cowardice. See? Easy.

Okay, here's an idea for grinding the Senate to a halt *and* drawing attention to the real costs of what's happening in these unhinged and illegal DOGE firings: 1) Solicit letters from affected constituents. 2) Read the letters as part of a talking filibuster.

I've made peace with the fact that if Rufo and his ilk win, I'm getting tossed for things I did* years ago, not now. I'm doing my best to make sure those shitbirds don't win. But I've also decided that if I'm gonna get tossed, I'm gonna get tossed for doing *something* instead of doing nothing.

To hope that everyone associated with such gleeful cruelty dies alone, wracked by shame and remorse over their actions, lying in a puddle of their own filth and excrement would be wishing them a fate better than they deserve.
