Sabotaging American foreign policy in order to help win an election is one area where Trump genuinely isn't an aberration. Nixon sabotaged peace talks with Vietnam and Reagan backchanneled to prevent Carter from getting the hostages in Tehran released. A long-standing Republican tradition of treason

Movie guy voice: coming this fall… from the people who brought you The Scam That Took Your Money… <fart sound and title card> Another Thing That Fucking Sucks!

You might remember us from five minutes ago telling you NFTs and crypto was the future then running off with all your money. Here we are again with another fucking thing that sucks.

Pretty ironic that another country is about to impose economic pain on the American people because our leader wants to stay in power and does not care about our plight. The exact same fate we have condemned so many others to through the US sanctions regime.

Waking up and checking the news as an American: -US running out of missles -spent half a billion on an artillery factory that produced nothing -US servicemen trying to off themselves by jumping off the USS Lincoln -china building giant battery that can produce unlimited energy Great👍

Real masculinity is when everyone is fucking exhausted and you open your arms, grip em tight and fucking stand up and carry forward. And guess what. You got a smile on your face too. If your masculinity involves hurting other people you are LOST brother

The other day I pulled one of the drawers in the kitchen out and it must’ve come off track and I knew something was wrong with it but I just pushed it in and walked away, later on in the day my wife fixed it and I was like “I thought something was wrong there. Good job”

Minnesotans stood together, stared down ICE, and never blinked.

Remember when trump was obsessed with Fort Knox for like a week claiming there may not be any gold there… then it fell out of the news for a while… and now there’s a bunch of gold shit all over the White House….. that was weird

I’m sorry… Tyler who??

The New Yorker@newyorker.com

Some of Taylor Swift’s rerecordings have eclipsed the success of her old songs. But by trying to make carbon copies of her music, has Taylor Swift created problems? Tyler Foggatt gets deep in the weeds of the singer’s Taylor’s Versions.

When the president (and by extension, law enforcement) can credibly threaten people with being kidnapped and brought to a foreign torture prison at their sole discretion… that’s pretty much it for anything resembling democracy right?

What the fuck are we doing here!? Killing projects that are almost complete is not saving money! I feel like I’m losing my mind

The cuts "would kill the much-anticipated Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, an observatory seen as on par with [Hubble & JWST] that is already fully assembled and on budget for a launch in two years." Would also apparently close NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Huge, HUGE loss for science.

These doge fucks are clearly trying to replace gov jobs with AI. Musk and all of Silicon Valley is warning about the dangers of AI taking over and here they are literally trying to plug it into our government. Insane.

Who’s excited for 4 more years of this bizarre bullshit

“And they have essentially a very large faucet. And you turn the faucet and it takes one day to turn it. It’s massive.” (I don't know where he's getting this from. There is no giant faucet.) globalnews.ca/news/1076064...

In The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco, after hearing about a massive & deadly scapegoating, the narrator asks why the peasants didn't attack the landlords, their true enemies, & is told, "When your real enemies are too strong, you get weaker enemies," & every day I think about this & also see it

You are up to date.
