Pretty sure America just went to war because nobody liked Donald Trump's military parade.

Got a whole lot of nihilism going right now.

Just a reminder that a majority of Americans already support impeachment, including 20% of Republicans.

There's no declaration of war, and no AUMF that covers this. Entering this war is wrong on the merits; we had a perfectly peaceful way to address Iran's nuclear program. It's also unlawful. A democratic republic should not be able to enter a war of choice on one man's say-so.

There is always a tweet.

I know this can sound kind of silly at a time like this, but doing a war without congressional authorization is ample grounds for impeachment

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I had... retail experiences today. Did you know that despite being a "Flagship store" for the outdoor life, the REI in DC does not carry fishing poles? Did you know that Dick's Sporting Goods doesn't either? WTF, people, you can fish in DC! You can even eat (some of) the fish that you catch!

Saw a cybertruck with diplomat plates and I can't decide what it's giving. Bribery? Graft? Naked Ambition?

Saw something awesome this morning. I saw a secret service motorcycle pull over and absolutely read the riot act to a Maryland Driver who ran a red light at the bottom of Adams Morgan. I salute you, sir, and all the gesticulating spoke to my soul.

Hearing there may have been a cyclist hit at 4th and Michigan this morning? Scene is weird, according to a friend, with just a bike, a delivery truck, and a police officer, which implies someone was transported.

I dunno what happened here, but it does look like a medium-sized branch came down from the big sycamore on 16th St NE and clobbered the stop sign...?

Shitty people, shitty values, shitty culture. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Three weeks ago tomorrow. 🤡

Dave Martinez owes James Wood, a steak dinner, many steak dinners, all of the steak dinners

Just realizing that the Nats go to LA and SD after this. Decent shot if they don't win today, their streak goes to 20 without much work... yikes.

The military doesn’t have a “go-broke” date We only expect nice things to pay for 100%+ of themselves

Are we going to get another generation of insufferable warbloggers

It is amazing how good the Nats have made the Rockies look this week.

I thought dunning cougar is when you're pretty sure you could handle her, but she's both out of your league AND would grind you into dust.

Watched Last Crusade in the theater again and it’s one of the best movies about thinking you have nothing in common with your dad and realizing you have basically everything in common with your dad.

It doesn't shock me even a teensy bit that instead of being in the sit room with the big boys, JD Vance is just being a troll on Bluesky. A third rate VP with third rate capabilities.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

to be fair, it also tells us he shouldn't be in that room

That blissful feeling when you go to block and a blocklist has already done it for you

I dunno who needs to hear it, but Jesus fuck we should absolutely not be bombing anyone right now. Let alone a potential nuclear power.

I’ve noticed for a while that some people have a different concept of friendship than I do.

there are a handful of terf trolls trying to get a rise out of people. just block them.

It was definitely worse than I feared.

Really looking forward to bike commute today, gotta say

my goodness. someone on new york ave was killed by a driver hauling a tank post-army parade. a woman literally died for this useless excess.

So, who's gonna be coaching the Nats tomorrow? Will they leave anyone behind?

Jesus Christ, people. This is lunacy.

Name a TV show with only 1 or 2 seasons
