I say we just start signing up for every mailing list, contest, newsletter and suspicious website we encounter with this email.

If only there was a way to avoid catching measles, like…a medicine you could give your kids before they’re ever exposed to it that would protect them. 🤷♂️

Umm…ok? Personal growth is a good thing, I guess.
But it’s not like we didn’t spend all of 2024 telling you that reelecting Trump would be a giant dumpster fire. You just chose not to listen, and now you have regrets that the Leopards Eating Faces Party is eating faces as promised. 🤷♂️

Ugh. Just make him the antagonist in the next Batman movie and call it a day. We don’t need any more standalone comic book villain movies.

But chlorination is still less dangerous than most of the waterborne illnesses it prevents that have plagued humanity since the dawn of civilization. So, there is that…

No pressure there. No reason to let the crippling anxiety creep back in. Just the entire future riding on the outcome of what you’re currently doing.
Don’t choke don’t choke don’t choke don’t choke.

When he throws down a “they say…”, it’s inevitably code for “I pulled this idea out of my ass, but I don’t want admit it.”

I get what you’re saying, but…that third of the electorate that sat out the last election cycle has to SHOW UP AND VOTE. You can’t just skip an election because we’re finally feeling kind of normal again and not mired in an embarrassing, near-daily dumpster fire anymore.

That’s the thing about the Leopards Ate My Face Club…they don’t just eat the faces of the people you don’t like. All faces are on the menu.

Because they make way more money from clicks and outrage than they do from actually helping to address the underlying problems.

Dothey remember that sanctioning mercenaries to act in an official capacity for the US government has a history of ending poorly? Blackwater in Iraq, anyone?

$5k x 335M = $1.67T
If $1.67T is 20% of the fraud findings, that means they've found $8.35T.
The entire budget is only $6T.
Huh???????

So they can pack the agency full of loyalists and political hacks even faster without anyone sane to jam up the works or try to keep some sense of order? I feel like you might not have thought that plan all the way through…

I’d rather listen audiobooks read to me by someone with a speech impediment and a heavy accent than an AI voice.

Very true. But Mike Johnson also has to wrangle some hardcore Tea Party types and some moderate Republicans whose seats aren’t exactly safe…and he’s not exactly known as an expert negotiator.

The value prop of the SE was that $450 isn’t unreasonable for a relatively recent iOS device. And it was still small enough for smaller hands and/or pockets.
This is…none of that. You’re basically saving $100 to get a slightly worse iPhone 16. That seems like a bad deal.

So…$600 to have Siri poorly summarize your texts and integrate a mediocre AI art generator when similar ones are available free on the internet? Grrrrreat.
They should have just kept the SE line going, and threw a somewhat faster processor and more storage & RAM into a small frame for $450.

Ok, but…Apple Intelligence really isn’t worth throwing down $600 for. And I say that as someone who’s been using it for a couple months already.

If MapQuest’s Apple CarPlay app was just a liiiittle bit more functional, this would get me to make it my mapping app of choice.

I give it about six months, and the GOP will start to fracture along ideological lines within the RWNJ spectrum and based on how secure each individual seat may (or may not) be.
If it’s anything like Trump 1.0, their own infighting will buy us some time. Hopefully.

You’re not wrong, but that calls some fundamental assumptions into question. One is that the Congressional majority actually wants to stop him, which is debatable. And the other is about capabilities. If he ignores legislation or a court order, who’s gonna stop him & how?

It’s entirely possible that 2020 was the last free and fair election the USA will have had from here on out.

So…vegetables and grains are tools of the devil? That’s a new one.

Exactly. If you’re barely hanging on by your fingernails, you’re not in a position to save and invest.
So, yeah…salary is important as the starting point.

You act like this is something new, like the term “starving artist” was just a joke up to this point.

Imagine if we invested that $500B they’re planning on throwing at Stargate into just making community colleges and state universities tuition-free for the foreseeable future, instead?
We would have a scientific and economic renaissance that AI couldn’t come close to touching.

You know what? Fuck the purity test. Enemy of my enemy and all that. If Bannon wants to stop Musk, I’m not gonna say no to the help. Because being too precious to get our hands dirty is what landed us in this mess in the first place.

I would gladly give the CCP access to all my personal data via DeepSeek before I even consider touching Grok.

Because the things I love doing don’t pay a nice, consistent salary and I’m pretty sure my spouse would make sure I had an “unfortunate accident” for the insurance money if I intentionally opted us into crushing poverty?

Life is full of hard choices. You can either be pissed off that you do something you don’t care about just to make a living, or be pissed off that doing what you love doesn’t pay the bills and you’re forced to choose between crushing poverty or working two extra jobs to cover the difference.

Big banks have always been evil, though. Let’s not pretend that their temporary lip service to DEI was some kind of fundamental change to their mission. They’ve just put the mask away and gone back to being themselves.

Yep. I have more faith that my life insurance will pay out than my crappy high-deductible health insurance.

This has “trust me, bro!” written all over it. 🤦♂️
I honestly want him stop the SS payments in his 120+ buckets. Go ahead and try; we’ll see just how accurate the data is. He’ll either be completely vindicated…or have 12.5M REALLY pissed off senior citizens on his hands instantly.

Counterpoint: if you don’t have the advanced degree and the experience, you won’t know when the AI is giving you good information and when it’s hallucinating in a not-outlandish-but-still-incorrect way.

Higher ed administration in FL has gotten wildly, inappropriately politicized. I give it about 3-5 years and the state university system is going to start falling apart at the seams.

47 may kill more of us during this administration than of his first. Narcissist evil.

I feel like the health benefit of getting rid of red #40 has been far outweighed by breaking almost everything else health-related.

The Ukrainians saw what happened to the Afghans when Trump negotiated on their behalf and don’t want to end up like that.

Their rotisserie chicken is great (and priced as a loss leader). In-season produce is always a safe bet. Kirkland signature roast coffee is good and reasonably priced. And they’re our go-to for tires. Not cheap in absolute $, but nice discounts on good brands, and the techs are competent.

Donnie could have nominated one of his idiot sons (hell, even Eric) and managed to do less damage to the national security apparatus in the process than this.

The soundness of their legal arguments is largely irrelevant if the SCOTUS majority know how they plan on ruling before they even get the case. 🤷♂️

JFC. He could have nominated an elementary school cafeteria worker with an intellectual disability for the post and done less damage to national security in the process. 🤦♂️
