Incredible. He fell into the cooling water?!? JFC! 😬 Hurry hurry hurry... money money money... fuel rods almost fell over? WTAF. (?). The real sad part is that none of this AI crap is needed.

I'm actually glad neither of my parents, no longer alive, have to see what's become of what they worked so hard for.

"So while MAGA’s attempt to strangle clean energy will increase the risks of global climate catastrophe, it will also increase the risks of U.S. economic stagnation, forcing our nation to remain wedded to obsolete energy technologies while other countries march into the future."

Profoundly ineffable how much he sucks… so now everyone shows “papers” in order to visit a National Park? Give me a fuckin break.

Trump truly sucks. It seems he always has to get involved and fix what is not broken. Donald Trump orders entry fee, DEI changes at national parks www.usatoday.com/story/travel...

I dunno...there's always been something ghoulish and morbid about the trump boys - makes me grit my teeth and clinch my fists - I have a primal and elemental abhorrence for these walking excretions.

Nope! It's confusing, they opted to vote on tabling the impeachment discussion instead of actual impeachment, so nays are "we need to talk about and vote on impeachment right now!"

Hello NBC Universal or whoever you are… it’s really time to put “The More You Know” commercials on the shelf for awhile. The cute little jingle is right up there with a toothache. I can’t get to the remote fast enough. #MSNBC

If you tried to convince me the Antichrist was real all you would have to do is point to the weird hypnotic power he has to control people with limited intellect. It’s bafflingly all encompassing. They’re watching him lie and they deny it. If it’s not Devilry then I have no idea.

I love the fact that governments around the world are finding out their #tariffs by pausing the TV to look at the cardboard sign.

INCREDIBLE! ☺️

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution. Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.

I think collapsing the US is precisely the goal... they are aiming to turn everything into a profit generating "business"

Alex Wild@alexwild.bsky.social

USDA firing the newest hires across the board means they are purging experts relevant to new and emerging threats; e.g., people who combat the Citrus Greening disease that's collapsing Florida's citrus industry. Just the dumbest strategy imaginable. Unless the goal is to collapse the US.
