It was a Nazi salute, and honestly kinda a lazy Nazi salute. Given this was at a public forum closely associated with the ruling party, that the President is going to address, and he wasn't immediately ushered out, it seems they are perfectly content going with 'lazy, disheveled Nazi' vibes.

I hope DOGE is taking into account the cost of all the letters being fired off every time someone points out Musk is a dick.

They need to keep holding elections until Moscow gets the result it wants. /s

"Even if sometimes wrong" is such a weasel phrase. If you're getting false validation, how do you know to research effectively to discover that you're being misled?

He's not a lawyer. He's a comedian, and yet he has done a better job at building a compelling case than most people in a court of law.

I've been wearing my Mexican poncho and feeling extremely self-conscious but toasty.

What's really tragic to me is the false assumption that because the first admin was kept in check by safeguards, that those safeguards would continue to persist (despite all evidence to the contrary to anyone really paying attention.)

I hate it so much. But pulmonary illnesses knock the absolute tar out of me so I don't mess around with that shit. I've gotten COVID thrice, and two of them I was out of commission for days.

A lot easier to accomplish as much as they've dicked over their own user experience in the last five years. Not a dime to the oligarchs.

Film is "The Challenge" (1982), directed by John Frankenheimer, one of those directors who managed to have just as many clunkers as he struck gold. This one came immediately after his box office success of "Prophecy," a fun if campy horror film which hasn't aged very gracefully.

These are the CHUDs that dip into the city open-carry at the hot dog restaurant in the hipstery-iest neighborhood that's ill suited for their lifted Ram, then brag about it for weeks like they toured a combat zone.

There is no path where this doesn't lead to another prescription epidemic. Guarantee whoever is sponsoring this bill is doing so at the urging of the pharmaceutical industry.

Waiting for the general public to become disillusioned on Trump's reckless endangerment of the country, damn the consequences, isn't a gameplan, but it certainly seems like what party leadership has in mind.

One of the many "infrastructure weeks" announced last go around got derailed by unwarranted praise for Nazis. So they can parade it all they want, but Trump's priorities are pretty clear.

I don't know how one assumes an apolitical and non-partisan stance with fashy slogans permanently affixed to their body in ink.

I find it telling none of this culture war smearing happened when the same kind of climate change-intensified firestorm happened to Gatlinburg / Pigeon Forge a few years ago.

I know that car culture is dying hard, but it baffles me it took this long for this to happen. Urban cores at this point are one part obscenely wealthy gliteratti for every five parts vacant spaces for other obscenely wealthy gliteratti.

Having listened to @iwriteok.bsky.social 's episodes on Thiel, I knew he was evergreen on weird cynical takes. The level of conspiratorial insinuation cloaked in the language of an intellectual is new to me, however, I didn't realize he so completely drank the kool-aid.

Sounds like he's getting carried away with his shitheel signaling again.
