Meal of the evening r.mealime.com/9885

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

I was feeling a way and made a t-shirt about it. You can get it (or stickers, or whatever) here, if you have similar feelings: www.teepublic.com/user/libertine (there’s also an edition with white text for printing on dark shirts)

Rich people have regular people problems, but with more 0s at the end. "No one likes me" followed by 8 zeros

General CQ Brown is a patriot and hero. Firing him makes America less safe, but it will help bring about a Golden Age. For Putin.

Giant boom in Jacksonville on the West Side. Is it an explosion? Giant gunshot? Something to do with the naval base? Just normal West side weather? No way to know

People will die. Blood on Republican hands. RFK Jr. Makes His First Anti-Vaccine Move www.wsj.com/opinion/rfk-... via @WSJopinion

I don't believe in Hell, but if I did I would die happy knowing there was a special seating section for anyone currently railing against "the sin of empathy," and every one of those seats is made with hot rusty barbs

I’m struck by how much the most vehement theocrats behave like they don’t fear the judgment of an angry God

Depressing brilliance from my pal Ruben Bolling.

#Trump callously claims it’s the victims’ own fault they were brutally murdered and buried in the woods, shamelessly absolving #Putin of any responsibility. This grotesque deflection not only insults the memory of the dead but also exposes a chilling disregard for justice and humanity. Disgraceful.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Excellent point by @joshgondelman.bsky.social on @thebugle.bsky.social this week:

Wrote about how easy it is to claim you saved taxpayers billions when you just make shit up. But also how this is the Twitter Files all over again. The dumbest people don't know what they're looking at so it must be a conspiracy www.techdirt.com/2025/02/19/i...

The good news is i saved you 60 billion dollars. The bad news is that is a typo i saved you 600 dollars and also your plane is falling out of the sky

My daughter's next D&D character name

If Fundamentalists are your racist grandparents, Christian Nationalists are those cousins who show up for Thanksgiving Dinner wearing camouflage, with a cross, to tell you how vaccines make you gay.

6/10 games can be good games. 7/10 games can be good games. 8/10 games can be great games. 9/10 games can be amazing games. Games that are not a 10/10 are still very much worth your time I promise. Sometimes you can find a hidden gem this way & not even know it. Scores are subjective too. 👌🏻

the volume of great stuff we never see because somebody was afraid it was cringe is among the more damning aesthetic phenomena of this sad epoch

Counterpoint: It's actually fine, and necessary, to have an opinion when 16 different women accuse one man of the same behavior

How #DOGE stole America: everything you need to know. Easy - peasy - all on YouTube 1. Watch “Dark Gothic MAGA: How Tech Billionaires…” 2. Watch the two Curtis Yarvin eps of the Behind the Bastards podcast. 3. Watch The Election Truth Alliance’s ‘Russian tail’ video. @electiontruth.bsky.social

When you don't know what you're talking about except in broad strokes and everything has just kind of worked out for you no matter how much of a brat or a pissant you were, you begin acting in ways that actively work against your best interests, inevitably ruining your life and those around you

again, this is the easiest political slam dunk in the world find a veteran with a lifetime of public service who has been fired for no reason and bring him on television with you do it again tomorrow with a different veteran, and again, and again show the human cost

In case you were wondering why he needed control of the Treasury at a moments notice and did an end around on Congress

Democrats in charge: Why would the Democrats do this? Republicans in charge: Why would the Democrats do this? Republicans band together after 70 year push to reduce government to smoldering ruin: Why won't the Democrats do something?

I just laughed so hard I woke the cat. (But it also true. Someone please help.)

I voted for Trump. But when he said he wanted to let Netanyahu finish the job in Gaza, I didn't know that he meant he was going let Netanyahu finish the job in Gaza.

Worth noting the guy in the screenshot is very much a true believer, he just is the rare case that has enough brain cells to recognize slurs are in fact bad for a political movement

Wonder how many turned down Medicaid money.

Chad’s right. Yes, most of the stuff said about the DOGE kids is likely protected by the First Amendment, even if “edgy.” But your belief that a USAO won’t charge you with a federal crime for “edgy” stuff is premised on normal times, not this shitshow and not with the hack in charge of the DC USAO.

Sean Duffy cancels Christmas

Hey, love Elon Musk or hate him, you must admit he deserves to be buried under 7000 tons of raw sewage. Credit where due.

he got our asses once again

These companies won't give me money either. Selfish bastards

Leave it to Trump to piss off the friendliest country on the planet

Remarkable that the Canadian Prime Minister has a better understanding of American interests than the US President.

Dumbest Trade War in History

It's the cruel Beast That you feed It's the burning Yearning Need to bleed Through the Spillways Through the Spillways of your soul

@jeffjarvis.bsky.social Question For the Podcast tonight - We know that AI writing code is around the corner, but we still don't have any insight on "why" they decide to do things -it's a black box. Could AI generate a new programming language that does explain how its own thought process works?

@leolaporte.me Listening to your TWiT about how we don't know how the AI works, it's a black box... Could AI generate a new programming language that does explain how it works? Even if the output looks like the alien language from Arrival, we could relearn "their" language to understand how it works

Just in time for the Constitution to be shredded and set ablaze
