Girl, because I could not stop for Death
She kindly slaaaayed for me

So who profited from this?

Crime against humanity.

If you attend the White House Correspondents Dinner this year, you should be legally barred from using the term "journalist" to describe yourself from that point on.

They lobotomized the wrong Kennedy.

5.56x45mm rounds henceforth to be referred to as “0.2188976x1.77165 inch rounds” because the metric system is European and woke and gay

Or if the DoD *forbids* service members from getting vaccinated because of “spike protein shedding”

NOW a warning?

horseshoe theory is real. leftists almost got kat abughazaleh elected into congress and now it comes out that her boyfriend owns infowars…

There’s a third reason for *certain* people to exist for him, and it’s profoundly icky.

It’s 7:30 pm, still light out, and raining. This conjunction of events rarely occurs here in San Francisco.

I hear Tim Cook is available

Is the new Iranian régime in the room with you right now?

It can be made stupid on purpose.

Wow, and she even had a big banner of him put up on her office building. Sad.

At this point they’re probably using an LLM to generate these. They have plenty of training data.

“There are so many outlets” BUT NOT AT LAX as I discovered last weekend.

Which means the EU was funding CPAC.

Iran: The strait is closed
Trump: No it isn’t
Iran: Yes it is
Trump: No it isn’t. It’s actually open
Iran: No it isn’t
Trump: Yes it is.
Iran: No it isn’t. It’s actually closed
Trump: No it isn’t. How can you say that?
Iran: We told you once.
Trump: No you don’t.
Iran: Yes we did.
etc.

In a nutshell. 😊

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

We owe each other a country where at least the things that two-thirds of Americans can agree on actually get done. When something is broken in this country, we have to do what it takes to fix it.

Thank you, Tulsa, for the warm welcome back - and for showing us what a better future looks like.

It’s a mark of how completely normalised the corruption & depravity have become that we barely bat an eyelid at the thought of two *property developers*, one Trump’s nepo baby son-in-law, being sent to represent the USA in peace negotiations with Iran. Sometimes it all hits you afresh.

Thanks. At least I have a fallback plan, which is “turn 62 in a few months and start collecting Social Security.” That’ll just about pay my rent.

And no benefits.

This is exactly what my employer is doing. I’ve survived two rounds of layoffs but probably won’t survive the next one. Remains to be seen whether it’ll be a layoff or a firing-for-cause due to the impossible workload we (the ones who do the actual work) now have. Firing us = no severance!
