I think there's some sense that somehow trump & doge won't touch Social Security because they need the support of the olds, but man, they have what they need, right? Like, they are plum out of reasons to appease anyone. The "third rail of American politics" ain't got no juice no more.

It is wild how much evil in our world is the result of someone who never thought about something before and who is now mad at you for making them think.

I eat pretty healthy, quit smoking, drink less. I have a middle-class job and I am polite to my neighbors. But man sometimes I miss being a total fucking degenerate.

Make America Shit Explosive Diarrhea Again

Happy belated Presidents Day to our foreign South African Nazi leader, his human shield and lapdog Donald Trump. (Now In Full Color)

Ohnoanywaydotgif.

NGL Spring Break is next week and I am way more excited for it than my students this year.

Tapping the sign wearily

Just once I would like to see a Tim Robinson sort of character on Faster Purpleworm Kill Kill: starts out all happy then turns sulking, short-tempered, irrational, explosively and apoplectically angry, spittle flying. "You can't just kill our characters....you just...can't"

So, a quick reminder ...

Watching "Galaxy of Terror" and I was really rooting for this surprisingly evocative grim-dark sci-fi thriller until I got to *that scene*. Pretty hard to overlook, tbh.

I have seen the GMC hummer & truck commercial about 50 times and I still have no fucking idea what the point of crabwalking is. What is that supposed to do? Who the fuck needs to drive at a 30 degree angle? Other than "because we can," why develop, build, and sell this?

When my grandmother was young, she could go to the butcher and buy a discount product called "slippery meat." Apparently that was when america was great, since we are going back to it.

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down. For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now Meanwhile...

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...

Knowledge is power…

Big if true (and frankly since fascists hate fact checking, who actually even gives a fuck if it's true or not?):

When the Nazis took power and gutted the Weimar era civil service in government, they also claimed the need to increase efficiency and to ensure loyalty to the nazi party. They did it through the law for the restoration of the professional civil service. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_for...

I am re-watching The Guild for about the thousandth time and just got to the episode featuring, among its many excellent and awesome cameos...both Neil Gaiman and Kevin Sorbo. If only we all knew then what we know now...

Just heard that trump has completely turned on McConnell. Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy. Guess it's turtle soup for dinner at the White House.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce the Russian disinformation network “Doppelgänger”. Doppelgänger is an influence and hybrid operation spreading Kremlin propaganda via AI-generated fake news websites and social media sites, especially X. 1/20

Every time someone asks "what rhymes with 'warn ya'?", Anthony Kiedis gets his wings.

Man, fuck ted nugent, but: "Great White Buffalo" is such a fucking banger...

Yeah fucking more of this please!

"If and when Trump is incapacitated or dies, there will be a fight to fill his shoes. Like Stalin, Musk is taking steps to make sure he will be able to command key government agencies in that eventuality by setting up a parallel nongovernment institution under his direct control: DOGE."

At this point, there are only two options: A) Elon is so dishonest that he is willing to peddle obvious lies to score PR points B) Elon really is this stupid
