Worst. Senate. Ever.

Songs from the 1940s fall into two categories: “Kiss me darling for I may die in the wars tomorrow and never see you again” And “He’s the Booble Bubble Boy on the Boat From the Blue! Woo woo be doo! Booble Bubble Boy!”

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Driving an electric car is generally simpler than a gas one, but Teslas have unique issues: "Twice recently I've had pedestrians do a hitler salute. My wife now refuses to come in the car with me and if we go anywhere we have to take her petrol car. Has anyine else had this and what should I do?"

"free touch up if keyed"

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

So...now that our DUI Hire Pete Hegseth fired highly qualified CQ Brown for allegedly being too woke, who's our Chairman of the Joint Chiefs? Do we have one right now? Sincere question.

PORTLAND: Tesla will be exhibiting vehicles at the Oregon International Auto Show, starting today and running through the end of the weekend. People use this event to survey the market for new vehicles ahead of purchasing, so it's an ideal place to interrupt potential new Tesla sales. #TeslaTakedown

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

#alphabetchallenge #weekHforheroes #blacksky #blackhistorymonth Happy birthday to the great John Lewis, born this day in 1940. Let's all celebrate him by getting into some good trouble.

“What merit means to them” General Brown’s record, which Hegseth questioned for obvious reasons: www.af.mil/About-Us/Bio...

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Do they keep the sex offenders' records in a pedofiling cabinet?

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

I’ll say this for all the racist industrialists and inbred royal families of yesteryear: at least normal people didn’t know the gross stuff they were doing with their dicks all the time

since I was 17, I've owned 5 FDM printers and 4 resin printers. I've troubleshooted just about every single 3D printing issue you could imagine having. I've had thousands of combined hours of print time, and to this day, 3D printers work more consistently than your parent's inkjet printer.

Posting my embroidery so people can find me... 🐯 #embroidery #handembroidery

I have identified at least two dozen pardoned Capitol Rioters that are currently attending CPAC in Washington, D.C. —including members of far right extremists groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. Updates on Pardon Tracker's interactive visualization: embed.kumu.io/39b5108ec4a0...

Last time, he just avoided it, didn't attend any of the events, etc. I do believe this is a good marker of how different things are this time.

Just straight up. Incredible.

All these people happily bending over

Breaking — The Social Security Administration is dissolving its Office of Analytics Review and Oversight effective 2pm today, an agency source tells me. In a meeting leadership claimed it was part of government-wide mission to “align missions better” & said it was the first of many changes to come.

How is this real

Fuck is he even on about?

Unger describes how Trump first appeared on the Russians’ radar in 1977 when he married his first wife, Ivana Zelnickova, a Czech model. Trump became the target of a spying operation overseen by Czechoslovakia’s intelligence service in cooperation with the KGB. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

men who dressed like this from 2008 - 2012 had preppy menswear blogs

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

yooo I was just cited in a federal opinion & I'm ecstatic! I argued that the Supreme Court's originalist guns jurisprudence is asinine so lower court judges don't know how to apply it, & in footnote 17 this judge is like YEAH lmao www.scribd.com/document/823... ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/secon...

I'd like the congratulate the Canadian hockey team on their victory last night over the team fielded by Russia's vassal.

This is the energy we need.

Men: Ugh I struggle to even finish a book anymore my attention span is so cooked Women: It's called A Field of Fury & Roses and it's the prequel to A Palace of Thorns which I enjoyed almost as much as its sequel, A Maze of Mist & Fire. Each book is 800 pages of inter-species elven smut

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

Amidst the meltdown of Western civilization I invite you to enjoy this frankly insane copy on the side of a bag of milk bread.
