THEN started both "The War on (Some) Drugs" && CIA importation of massive amounts of cocaine to both pay for the bribe to Iran && boot the criminalization of blackness into highly (profitable) private prison slavery with the school to prison pipeline. Good stuff, Rethuglicans, still evil.

I've been a subscriber almost as long as I've been on Al Gore's Internet, and you could be too

It *can* be handy for professional musicians et al for occasional 'stage fright' panic attacks since it does help with the BP spike without otherwise messing w/ the nervous system - but that's a very very niche use. For anxiety, benzos are the right thing.

Note that propranolol is a beta blocker. Drops your blood pressure, slows your heart. If you're on other blood pressure meds it can fuck you up very badly indeed. It's prescription-only for a reason. It is NOT an anxiolytic, people really need better monitored access to BZPs (the 1990s moral panic).

I've always wondered about the salt thing. Does it make the skinsuit shrink so that their reptilian bodies are no longer comfortable inside of it? Or does salt mess with the bodysnatcher metabolism? Or ... ?

Charlie Stross@cstross.bsky.social

I know I'm judging a book by its cover (and there's a very real threat from Putin's Russia), but EVERY TIME I see a picture of Streeting I feel the urge to put salt on his back and watch him writhe like a slug.

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

There remain only two kinds of males (see what I did there?) in the Rethuglican party. 1) Have already gotten away with rapes, including often of very young boys and girls, or 2) Would like to start getting away with the above. It's never a drag queen, folks.

Clara Jeffery@clarajeffery.bsky.social

Truly INSANE for them to all double down on this but speaks to their male fragility and their need to circle the wagons to protect pedophiles

If any of y'all can match my expletive loaded email, I congratulate you. Remember, do as I did, and put your Senators and Reps on the CC line. This shit is EVIL, REPREHENSIBLE, STRATEGICALLY STUPID, and ... fuck those fucking fucks.

I've been de-complicating the guillotine, goal is <$200 at home d'pot. Might not be 100% efficient, but hey, cost cutting is what they do, so they'll understand if they have to suffer a bit for better economics.

GG@bigdaddyromance.bsky.social

Which 1 would you pick for the traitors?

It is always good form to mock any Republican's handicaps, as their leadership has demonstrated so often that any kind of physical or mental disability is fair game. Personally, I would say it is MANDATORY to mock that <elided>

Chat, are we allowed to make fun of the manner in which Susan Collins speaks? She’s a stoke survivor and has a slowed, shaky cadence. She also happens to be one of the most powerful people in the U.S. Senate and a goddamn Kavanaugh-enabling liar, who’s squarely responsible for Roe v. Wade’s demise.

TRAITOR, your time will come

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

THIS IS THE WAY see also Ellison, et al. And the petrochem companies, while we are at it. Taxpayers funded it, protected it, and subsidize them STILL. Fuck'em. Take it back, throw the execs in prison for a few years while we investigate their finances.

Do you agree?

As I understand it, and I've read a wee bit of history, Zionism is kinda like the Jewish "Homeland" KKK but with a few more excuses? Every nation, culture, and religion has a depressing share of hatefilled assholes. Crap like this is what happens when they get permission to roll their tide.

Natacha@natacha.bsky.social

Francesca Albanese on why the perpetual conflation, by dishonest politicians like Andy Burnham, of Zionism and Judaism is dangerous.

Dat the AG down there in KKK land? Long neck, will fit guillotine easily. PS) Guillotine can easily fit in the bad of an F-150 and STILL meet highway bridge max height requirements.

JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

When the law becomes the tool of oppression, and the law will not reform, there should be NO TALK OF USING LAW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. Fired? Fuck that. Guillotines are cheap and easy to build with modern power tools.

Xela Hart@xelahart.bsky.social

Damn straight! 🤬

Y'all know what to do, don't you?

Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social

I can think of a few things I need to report. 1. Trump’s reflecting pool scam 2. Kashyap Pramod Vinod Patel’s use of government assets for personal matters 3. Kristi Noem’s DHS contracts to friends

Investigations? I remind y'all again and again that when the rule of law has been broken, you don't go doing law bullshit on the people that so thoroughly broke it. That ship has escaped the barn and sailed over the rainbow. Guillotines are easy and cheap to build with modern power tools.

What's actually going to fuck up Microsoft is the US' current enshittified federal government, which has caused many other nations across the world to decide to stop using US-based software and pursue their own (usually open-source-based) alternatives.

Rachel Greenham@strangenoises.org

so what we *really* need is for MS to enshittify their products so much as to overcome even the inertia of the publishers. luckily that seems to be their goal too. 😉

Found some chickpeas in the back of the cabinet. Too old to plant in the spring, so cooked them up in some veggie stock. A couple of baby zucchini, a big handful of parsley from the garden, my house vinegar and herb and olive dressing. Killer salad!

My new product. Getting a bit of traction. Amazing results. If you've got eczema or psoriasis you should give it a try. In a few months there will be FOUR versions for different uses. That'll soft rollout in socials, then at Walmart. Not doing biz w/ Target till the C-suite is gone.
